Well folks, we made it to another Survivor merge. This is typically one of each season’s strongest episodes. So with an already good-so-far season, expectations are pretty high for this week. But more than that, the merge offers a major turning point in the game. Alliances still stand, but with tribal lines becoming even more blurred, now’s […]

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 […]

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.” […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]
