Category: Episode Recaps

Previously, on Survivor: We started with 20 winners of the hit reality show, pitting some of the game’s all time best players against each other. Let’s start from Day 1 and recap the entire season in completely unnecessary detail that wastes everyone’s time. KIDDING! Because of course I wouldn’t do that. I think it’s safe […]

It’s starting to feel like Survivor: Cagayan all over again, not that I’m complaining mind you. Tony Vlachos – who just might be the most entertaining player in Survivor history – does something crazy, gets multiple people pissed off at him (even some of his own alliance members), and then scrambles to do damage control. […]

What an episode of Survivor! After last week’s dud (apologies to the fans of the loved ones visit; it just doesn’t do it for me) it was wonderful seeing the show get back on the awesome path it had been forging for most of the season. And above all, we have one person to thank […]

Reward Challenge We knew this week’s Survivor was the loved ones visit. And we knew more family members were coming out this time, so it had to take up more of the episode’s runtime. And when the episode starts with it, we knew we were in for an even extra extended loved ones segment. So […]

Koru After the Wendell vote, there’s the usually Survivor nonsense of those that were blindsided getting upset about being blindsided. Michele is sick of being left out of plans, Nick wants revenge, Adam thinks the fleur di lis on Jeff Probst’s Tribal Council podium could be an idol. Wait, that last one doesn’t quite fit […]

Ah, the Survivor merge. This point is often momentous for a variety of reasons. It’s a watershed moment in each and every season, moving to the individual portion of the game. Even with lots of time left, the finish line starts to become a little clearer as players begin to shift their focus to the […]

Edge of Extinction Adios to the Queen. After being sent to the Edge of Extinction, two-time Survivor winner Sandra Diaz-Twine is the first player officially eliminated from Winners at War. She wastes no time in pulling the flag, signaling an end to her time on the island. After realizing what she would be going up […]

Survivor: Winners at War arrived at the perfect time. Edge of Extinction was one of the worst endings of any Survivor season ever. Island of the Idols was a disaster for so many reasons, none of which need to be revisited right now. And, above all, we’re in the middle of a global pandemic due […]

We start off this week’s Survivor with one of the more touching scenes the show has ever offered. Yul Kwon is chatting with Sarah and Wendell and the topic of Survivor friends and relationships from previous seasons comes up. Yul mentions that Jonathan Penner is the only person from his season he has really kept […]

This week’s Survivor perfectly illustrated one of the many reasons why the Edge of Extinction is a terrible idea. For the Fire Token challenge, each of the four castaways had the chance to obtain one. All they had to do was walk up a giant hill and bring down a pile of 20 logs of […]
