Category: Season 36 Ghost Island

What a finale! History was made tonight on the finale of Survivor: Ghost Island. That’s right, I made the correct winner pick for the first time since season 13, Cook Islands. It feels good to add another tally to the win column. But in actual historical news, we did see a Survivor first and what a first it was. […]

Well here we are. The finale of Survivor: Ghost Island. The Final 6 consists of Angela, Dom, Donathan, Laurel, Sea Bass, and Wendell. Wendell and Dom are the clear, heavy favorites heading into the finale. But it is not guaranteed yet. There are still some outs for the other players. But with only two votes left, and […]

I’m going to do things off a bit differently this week, and head straight to the immunity challenge. It’s a nice, long, physical challenge, ending with a classic Survivor slide puzzle. It’s here we see something that I don’t think has ever happened before in Survivor history. Now I could certainly be wrong, but I cannot think of a […]

We open with Lavita discussing the extra vote back at camp. Kellyn admits to everything, that the extra vote was hers and that she voted twice for Laurel. Laurel is of course uneasy about it but still feels fairly comfortable. She believes her relationship is still strong with Dom and Wendell and is thankful that […]

The episode begins with Wendell singing the praises of his ally Laurel, apparently one of the best kept secrets on the island. He knows his best strategy is keeping this secret alliance just that – a secret. As far as he (and we) can tell, nobody knows about the Wendell/Dom/Laurel/Donathan alliance. That’s an impressive feat, […]

Big move-itis, noun: The (often incorrect) feeling in Survivor that you need to make big moves in order to win the game; said big moves must be made at the first possible opportunity; making a move for the sake of making a move. Big move-itis has felled more than its share of Survivor castaways and it added another to […]

After last week’s fantastic merge episode, I was worried we might be in for a bit of a letdown. And, well, we were and we weren’t. What we got was a completely middle of the road episode of Survivor. Which, given the circumstances, I’m totally okay with. It would be hard to expect the producers to […]

Ah, merge week. Often the best – or at least one of the best – episodes of every Survivor season. And boy did this episode deliver. It was the Chris vs. Dom battle from beginning to end. And there was no beating around the bush with this one. Both were completely out in the open with […]

Well, we made it. We’re at the Ghost Island merge. As much fun as the first half of the season has been, now the real game begins. Let’s take a look at where the game could be headed moving forward. If you’ve been following our fantasy game, I included a fantasy-centric post-merge preview in the Episode 7 […]

I was all in for this episode as soon as I saw the title. I don’t know how it started, or when, but I say “Risk it for the biscuit” a lot. Maybe not a lot, depending what that actually means, but I’m quit certain it’s more than the average person. It’s just a goofy, […]
