For the second week in a row, Survivor presented to its viewers an incredibly insightful, important discussion directly relating to the world we live in today. This week’s focus was on gender, particularly in the context of Survivor. And we’ll get to that, but I’m going to save it for the Final Tribal section, as that’s where it […]

‘Survivor: Island Of The Idols’ Recap: “Suck It Up Buttercup”
Lairo Beach We start off with Noura talking about plans to vote off Jamal and Jack before Dean and Karishma. So she approaches Dean about working together. Dean, however, is wary of working with Noura, saying that while Noura does indeed have a plan, she is “absolutely crazy. And I think a little bit delusional.” […]
‘Survivor: Island Of The Idols’ Recap: “Don’t Bite The Hand That Feeds You”
Dean Kowalski, Private Eye The morning after the Chelsea vote, we see a new form of Dean. He dons his Dick Tracy hat, gathers his notepad and pencil, and becomes Detective Dean, interrogating each and every member of the tribe to determine whose idea the vote was. He first – and quite astutely, I might […]
‘Survivor: Island Of The Idols’ Recap: “Plan Z”
This Survivor recap is going to be a little different than most. This week’s episode was fantastic for many reasons, but the biggest reason was easily Noura. So most of our time will be spent on her, shall we say, interesting choices made this episode. All in all, “Plan Z” was one of the funniest episodes of Survivor in […]
‘Survivor: Island Of The Idols’ Recap: “Honesty Would Be Chill”
Vokai Beach Jack and Jamal come back to camp after being blindsided by the Molly vote at Tribal Council. We don’t hear much from Jack, other than him going full millennial and uttering the phrase that gives the episode its title. Jamal, on the other hand, is a lot more active. He’s smart and plays […]
‘Survivor: Island Of The Idols’ Recap: “YOLO, Let’s Play!”
Lairo Beach Back on Lairo Beach after Tribal Council saw Ronnie voted out, Aaron is understandably upset about how the whole thing went down. He does what he’s supposed to do and tries to explain that he wasn’t as close with Ronnie as it may have seemed. Whether they believe him or not is another […]
‘Survivor: Island Of The Idols’ Premiere Recap: “I Vote You Out And That’s It”
Survivor: Island of the Idols is finally here. Few things get me going like Survivor premiere night. There’s Survivor finale night, the other Survivor premiere night, and the other Survivor finale night. Okay, so there are other things besides Survivor, but I think you get the idea. Premiere night just has a certain energy about it. It’s like opening day of baseball season, that first […]
‘Survivor: Edge Of Extinction’ Finale Recap: “I See The Million Dollars”
Final Thoughts Yep, we’re starting with final thoughts on the season. But if someone can only play 13 days but still win Survivor, then my ending section can move to the beginning of the recap. Because apparently order and logic don’t matter anymore. Yes, in case it wasn’t obvious, my official stance on the Edge of Extinction […]
‘Survivor: Edge Of Extinction’ Finale Preview
This is an unprecedented Survivor finale. As the game currently stands, 16 players are still in contention for the title of Sole Survivor. Yes, that number will dwindle to six within the opening minutes of the finale. But until that plays out, the fact remains, 16 players can still win this game. Whether you think the Edge of Extinction […]
‘Survivor: Edge Of Extinction’ Recap: “Idol Or Bust”
Post Tribal/Vata Beach Back at the beach after the Ron vote, Devens tells the rest of the tribe that the idol came to him anonymously from the Edge. If you remember, there has been chatter this season among the castaways that all the idols and advantages are only coming from Extinction Island. Certain players know […]
