When we saw the first “next time on…” preview at the end of last week’s episode of “Survivor: Philippines,” it was pretty easy to jump to one conclusion: Jeff Kent’s knee must have been giving him some trouble, as Jeff Probst made a rare visit to camp and there was a doctor alongside him. (Wait, […]
Is “Survivor: Philippines” really going to let the Matsing tribe completely and totally fall apart? That is really the question that every diehard fan wants to know at the moment, since this is really the producers’ last opportunity to swap up the tribes before subjecting us to the first one-person tribe since Stephenie LaGrossa ran […]

When it comes to its pre-merge game, “Survivor: Philippines” has been at times almost a chore. We’ve seen the same result every week, and even though we have a feeling that some sort of merge has to be coming up soon, we’re also not quite sure that it is going to be coming up soon […]
Can a merge just get here on “Survivor: Philippines” already? We’re continuing to see all sorts of crazy stuff happen on the Tandang and Kalabaw tribes, but it really doesn’t seem to matter based solely on the fact that Matsing cannot win a challenge to save their lives. With this in mind, it’s hard to […]
There’s something that we find rather fun in getting behind-the-scenes looks at “Survivor” challenges, mainly because what is supposed to happen on paper does not often happen during the actual game. Often, contestants find new ways to make the challenge easier while under duress, and they also manage to figure out ways to struggle that […]

Even though he may no longer be a part of “Man vs. Wild,” Bear Grylls is still finding a way to stay very much involved in the world of television. As a matter of fact, he is even getting set to help some other people learn some of his own famed survival skills on a […]
We do hope that there will be a day soon when we don’t have to talk about Russell Swan so much in our “Survivor: Philippines,” rankings, but at the moment we can’t think of a castaway in more trouble. Considering how much his tribe has been losing, we’re surprised that he is honestly still there; […]
Before this season of “Survivor: Philippines,” both we and dozens of other diehard columnists all predicted one thing when it came to the state of the Kalabaw tribe: there was no way that we would even see Jonathan Penner and Jeff Kent actually team up. In the case of one, we have a very liberal […]

We learned quite a bit about Angie Layton on “Survivor: Philippines” this season: she fights hard at tribal council, loves cookies more than anything else in the world, and she has no problem cuddling with Malcolm in the shelter. It felt last week almost like she was going to be in this game for a […]
Matt Carter Survivor, Survivor: Philippines review
Can we just rename “Survivor: Philippines” at this point the Matsing show? It almost seems appropriate how terrible this one tribe is, and how much airtime they are getting at the moment because of their own failures. It’s almost akin to watching a Shakespearean tragedy: you know it’s going to end well for them, but […]
