Break Time Reviews
After a rough/so-so start to the season, Survivor 41 now has two consecutive strong episodes. Last week still stands out as the best so far, but this week was no slouch either. Though it wasn’t without its flaws. Well, one flaw, really. And it didn’t really come into play, but it’s now set up to […]
Now that’s what I’m talking about! This week’s Survivor was, in a word, fantastic. And it’s obvious why this fourth episode was so much stronger. For the first time this season, no new twists or advantages were introduced, and advantages played a minimal role overall in the episode’s events. Which meant the cast – this […]
Oh boy. What are you doing, Survivor? You have this dynamite cast, full of big, fun characters. And what do you do? You hamstring them by filling the game with twists and advantages that you seemingly need a doctorate to fully keep up with. Now, I love a good twist as much as anyone. But […]
If you could choose for a Survivor season to have a dynamite cast but no (or at least limited) twists or an average-at-best cast but lots of twists, what would you choose? If, like me, you prefer the former, you likely join me in your disappointment with Survivor 41 through two weeks. This cast feels […]
Survivor is back! Well, the U.S. version, that is. International has been rolling along with a fantastic South Africa season, and an extremely up and down – but ultimately satisfying – Australian season. So even with more than a year separating the Winners at War finale and this Survivor 41 premiere, the excitement levels were […]
Well, we made it to another Survivor finale. Australian Survivor finished earlier this week, and now Survivor South Africa closes the book on their return. Different as these two seasons may be, it’s been nothing short of fantastic having this amazing show back in our lives. How did Immunity Island finish up? Does challenge beast […]
This is it, folks. The Australian Survivor grande finale! Through all the twists, shifting alliances, great strategy and bone-headed moves, we’re finally at the end. This season has been mostly lots of fun. The twists have by and large not worked…at all. But the characters and flashes of brilliant strategy make up for that. Immunity […]
Chappies Kitchen is still operating in full force. After his foraging was fully brought out into the open at Tribal, he decides there’s no reason to stop now. If he can keep giving himself small advantage after small advantage, he’s going to do that. And hey, it’s been working so far. Why stop now? The […]
Episode 22 With Dani out of the game, Flick is the last Brawn standing, which is a major concern for both Hayley and George. Part of the reason they voted Dani out was because of how many friends she had on the jury. The same concern remains for Flick. You could say she has four […]
Anela has damage control to do back at camp. To his credit, he’s saying the right things, but the damage is probably done. Kiran tells us in a confessional that their League of Shadows alliance is all but over, if not completely destroyed. But whether or not Anela’s actions make him a more desired target […]
