As much as I love Australian Survivor, one of the weakest aspects of any season is inclusion of non-elimination episodes. So when Jeff Probst popped on screen halfway through this week’s episode to inform us there would be no vote, I was less than enthused. The vote-out is the signature moment of each episode, of […]

‘Survivor 41’ Episode 5 Recap: “The Strategist Or The Loyalist”
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 […]
‘Survivor 41’ Episode 4 Recap: “They Hate Me Because They Ain’t Me”
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 […]
‘Survivor 41’ Episode 3 Recap: “My Million Dollar Mistake”
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 […]
‘Survivor 41’ Episode 2 Recap: “Juggling Chainsaws”
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 41’ Premiere Recap: “A New Era”
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 […]
Everyone Should Be Watching International Survivor
With the news that both Australian Survivor and Survivor South Africa will be back in 2021 (AU dates are still TBA, while SA will premiere in June), now’s the perfect time to jump onboard with these fantastic international iterations of our beloved Survivor. Sadly, Survivor New Zealand has been shelved and there don’t appear to […]
‘Survivor: Winners At War’ Finale Recap: “It All Boils Down To This”
#TeamTV baby! All is right in the Survivor world! After a completely dominant run, Tony Vlachos is your Survivor: Winners at War Sole Survivor! I was beyond stressed going into this finale. Winners at War had been a very good, often great season. But there was one little bugaboo hanging around, trying to mess everything […]
‘Survivor: Winners At War’ Finale Preview
Survivor: Winners at War has so far lived up to its nearly impossibly high expectations. Season 40, twenty winners, it was all set up to be a season of epic proportions. It was almost too good to be true. But then the season started. And it was good. It kept going. And it was still […]
‘Survivor: Winners At War’ Recap: “The Penultimate Step Of The War”
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 […]
