Ah, merge week. Often the best – or at least one of the best – episodes of every Survivor season. And boy did this episode deliver. It was the Chris vs. Dom battle from beginning to end. And there was no beating around the bush with this one. Both were completely out in the open with […]

‘Survivor: Ghost Island’ Post-Merge Preview
Well, we made it. We’re at the Ghost Island merge. As much fun as the first half of the season has been, now the real game begins. Let’s take a look at where the game could be headed moving forward. If you’ve been following our fantasy game, I included a fantasy-centric post-merge preview in the Episode 7 […]
‘Survivor: Ghost Island’ Recap: “Gotta Risk It For The Biscuit”
I was all in for this episode as soon as I saw the title. I don’t know how it started, or when, but I say “Risk it for the biscuit” a lot. Maybe not a lot, depending what that actually means, but I’m quit certain it’s more than the average person. It’s just a goofy, […]
‘Survivor: Ghost Island’ Recap: “Fate Is The Homie”
Probably not how you expected this recap to start, huh? But I can only assume this is what was going through Des’s head when she gives us the title quote “Fate is the homie.” And any time I get to include a Coolio reference, I’m coolio with that (okay, yeah, that was bad, but it […]
‘Survivor: Ghost Island’ Recap: “A Diamond In The Rough”
As we always do, we start at Malolo, right after they voted Brendan out. Not much of note happened in this opening scene. But Bradley has taken note of Michael being more of a threat than he initially thought. No time is wasted as we head straight into the reward challenge, playing for coffee and […]
‘Survivor: Ghost Island’ Quick (?) Recap: “Trust Your Gut”
As I mentioned in last week’s recap, I was out of town for a week and wasn’t able to watch this week’s episode live. So since it’s been a few days, I’m just going to run through a quick recap along with some general thoughts on the episode. Back at Naviti after Tribal, Dom and […]
‘Survivor: Ghost Island’ Recap: “Only Time Will Tell”
Back at Naviti, the tribe shows their support to James after that night’s tribal council. But we don’t spend much time there as we quickly head to the beach for the the tribe switch. I was surprised they stuck with two tribes and didn’t switch to three 6-person tribes. But I do like the 9-person […]
Let’s Preview The 2018 Oscars
The 90th Academy Awards are just about upon us, airing Sunday, March 4. As with most years, I’m going into it with modest expectations. There are bound to be a few memorable moments, but I’m not holding out much hope for anything revolutionary her, from an entertainment standpoint. But nevertheless, for whatever reason it’s still […]
‘Survivor: Ghost Island’ Premiere Recap: “Can You Reverse The Curse?”
Oh what a feeling, Survivor is back! The long running reality show returns with Ghost Island, it’s 36th(!) season. There has been a lot of hype leading up to this season. Virtually all the pre-season press has been positive. Those press members lucky enough to have been on location for the first few days came back with great […]
