Break Time Reviews
*Live look at me before every Survivor merge episode* The merge episode is often one of the strongest of each Survivor season. And with how fun and good David vs. Goliath has been so far, I have some high hopes for the upcoming merge. With that in mind, I’ll do a quick rundown of where we’re at in the season […]
Well, it had to happen sooner or later. After such a strong start to the season, a weak episode was bound to occur. And this week’s episode still had its moments, but overall I’d say it was clearly the weakest of the season. But we have the merge coming next week, and the merge episode […]
We don’t get much in the opening few shots. We see Vuku/Orange back at camp after the Natalia blindside. Kara is understandably upset with Alec. As she says in a confessional (echoing the thoughts of viewers everywhere), “If you’re going to make a move, don’t do it now!” Then we get a few blips at […]
The episode begins not at Goliath Beach post-tribal like we’re used to, but rather with both tribes gathered together at the beach with Probst. So we know something different is happening this episode. Also, the episode preview showed some sort of tribe swap happening, but still. But before we can get to that, there is […]
This week was a tale of two Survivors. The pre-challenge portion left a lot to be desired. We’ll get to it all, but it wasn’t exactly what I would call captivating television. But then we got the challenge in the pouring rain (and that’s probably putting it lightly) and some great post-challenge fireworks. We start at… […]
As we open this week’s episode, the castaways continue to get hammered with rain, which unsurprisingly turns out to be yet another Fijian cyclone. And the contestants look absolutely miserable. It gets so bad that each tribe is actually gifted both a fire making kit and a tarp, something you don’t often see on this […]
Ah, Survivor season once again! It’s always a great day when a new season begins. It’s a boon to whatever else is happening in your life at the time. (With Mike White AKA Ned Schneebly on this season, prepare for many School of Rock gifs, memes, and whatever else I can find as long as he remains in the […]
What a finale! History was made tonight on the finale of Survivor: Ghost Island. That’s right, I made the correct winner pick for the first time since season 13, Cook Islands. It feels good to add another tally to the win column. But in actual historical news, we did see a Survivor first and what a first it was. […]
Well here we are. The finale of Survivor: Ghost Island. The Final 6 consists of Angela, Dom, Donathan, Laurel, Sea Bass, and Wendell. Wendell and Dom are the clear, heavy favorites heading into the finale. But it is not guaranteed yet. There are still some outs for the other players. But with only two votes left, and […]
I’m going to do things off a bit differently this week, and head straight to the immunity challenge. It’s a nice, long, physical challenge, ending with a classic Survivor slide puzzle. It’s here we see something that I don’t think has ever happened before in Survivor history. Now I could certainly be wrong, but I cannot think of a […]
