As the great (until he wasn’t) Andy Bernard once said (bet you weren’t expecting an Office quote to open this review), “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days, before you’ve actually left them.” And it makes sense. We often look back on the past with rose-tinted glasses, making […]

‘Survivor 41’ Episode 6 Recap: “Ready To Play Like A Lion”
As much as I love Australian Survivor, one of the weakest aspects of any season is inclusion of non-elimination episodes. So when Jeff Probst popped on screen halfway through this week’s episode to inform us there would be no vote, I was less than enthused. The vote-out is the signature moment of each episode, of […]
‘Survivor 41’ Episode 5 Recap: “The Strategist Or The Loyalist”
After a rough/so-so start to the season, Survivor 41 now has two consecutive strong episodes. Last week still stands out as the best so far, but this week was no slouch either.

‘Survivor 41’ Episode 4 Recap: “They Hate Me Because They Ain’t Me”

‘Survivor 41’ Episode 3 Recap: “My Million Dollar Mistake”
Oh boy. What are you doing, Survivor? You have this dynamite cast, full of big, fun characters. And what do you do? You hamstring them by filling the game with twists and advantages that you seemingly need a doctorate to fully keep up with. Now, I love a good twist as much as anyone. But […]
