Break Time Reviews
After flying high for four weeks, I guess it was about time for Australian Survivor to have a down week. Episode 13, the merge episode, was great. Lots of fun, some big moves, everything you want out of a merge. But the 14th and 15th episodes? Yikes. One of the worst non-elimination episodes I’ve ever […]
We start off this week with Tyson proclaiming his place atop the mountain, with Anesu unknowingly on the bottom, as nobody trusts her. Then a great production move. It immediately switches to a confessional from Anesu telling us her plan to vote off Tyson. These kinds of edits are the best. It’s nothing fancy, but […]
This season of Survivor is really coming into its own. After last week’s absolutely wild and chaotic episodes, this week was a bit more back to basics. But it was still another great stretch of episodes, highlighted by the 12th episode. We all must bow down to Queen Hayley (if you haven’t already). Episode 10 […]
Anesu is making plans to blindside the Kiran, Tyson, Wardah trio. Amy, Nicole, and Chappies are initially on board. But part of the plan hinges on the right person winning immunity so they can control who goes to Immunity Island. And so far, even though it’s only been two challenges, Kiran is proving a huge […]
Episode 7 Joey is riding high after the Cara vote. He has a few confessionals early on talking about how he’s on top, he’s running everything. While it’s true, it makes me nervous that these kinds of constant confessionals are setting him up for a fall, sooner rather than later. George confronts Wai about her […]
One quick note before getting into the recap. On a bit of a time crunch this week, so this will be shorter than most recaps. Only going to hit the main points, and not much else, unfortunately. Should be back to the usual next week. Reward Challenge Divided into two teams of five, four of […]
We’re back with another strong week of Australian Survivor. Lots of players get the chance to let their personalities shine, we’ve got blindsides, idols, big moves, and our first non-elimination episode of the season. Let’s get to it! Episode 4 Simon and Emmett are feeling the heat after seeing their close ally Gavin voted out. […]
Ah, the Survivor merge episode. I’m sure I’ve noted this in other season recaps, but the merge episode is always highly anticipated, for several reasons. It signals a change in the game, shifting the focus to individual versus tribes. It’s a chance at new life for those on the outs, and a chance for big […]
As the saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for.” After a year without Survivor, we now have two concurrently running seasons, with the U.S. not far behind. And not only that, but with the way Australian Survivor runs things, with multiple episodes each week, we have 4 episodes each week. Now, I love it, […]
Zamba Qieän! She actually gets a confessional, saying she doesn’t feel like she has a place in the game. Which unfortunately feels way too accurate, as she hasn’t had a place in the edit. And then, that’s it? It immediately cuts to a completely different, unrelated conversation at camp. It was an odd edit choice, […]
