Reward Challenge Each castaway was attached to rope. They raced to gather rope before going over and under obstacles. When they though they had enough rope, they threw sand bags to knock over a stack of blocks. It was a pretty standard reward: all-you-can feast at a beach resort. After Davie wins, he picked Nick […]

Post Tribal Nick is understandably upset about Carl being voted out. He feels betrayed by Christian and in his eyes the Mason-Dixon alliance is now finished. And thus begins the weekly discussion of someone wanting to vote out Christian. Could Nick be the one to have the magic touch and finally oust the fan favorite? (No.) […]

Well folks, we had a Survivor-flavored treat this week. That’s right, a double episode, an extra scoop of the crispy (shouts to Phillip Shepherd for that glorious phrase). With two hours, there’s a lot to cover, so let’s get right into it. There ain’t nothing to do but to do it. Hour 1 Post-Tribal This was […]

It’s Thanksgiving and I’m going to mix things up a little bit with this week’s recap. Rather thang going through the episode beat by beat, let’s take a look at what some of the castaways have to be thankful for after this week’s episode. This should keep it somewhat shorter and let everyone get back […]

In the post-Tribal post-mortem, Angelina is trying to smooth things over. She says in a confessional that she didn’t expect Elizabeth to “drag her through the mud” like that, which was an…interesting? reaction. What else would she have expected Elizabeth to do in her situation?  Anyway, she starts spinning her web of lies, saying Elizabeth […]

It has finally arrived. That’s right, we’re talking merge-time on Survivor! The merge episode has long stood as a highlight episode of the season. It always has so much to offer. You get big things like a major shift in strategy. The work players have done on various alliances and other strategic moves now all come […]

*Live look at me before every Survivor merge episode* The merge episode is often one of the strongest of each Survivor season. And with how fun and good David vs. Goliath has been so far, I have some high hopes for the upcoming merge. With that in mind, I’ll do a quick rundown of where we’re at in the season […]

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. After such a strong start to the season, a weak episode was bound to occur. And this week’s episode still had its moments, but overall I’d say it was clearly the weakest of the season. But we have the merge coming next week, and the merge episode […]

We don’t get much in the opening few shots. We see Vuku/Orange back at camp after the Natalia blindside. Kara is understandably upset with Alec. As she says in a confessional (echoing the thoughts of viewers everywhere), “If you’re going to make a move, don’t do it now!” Then we get a few blips at […]

The episode begins not at Goliath Beach post-tribal like we’re used to, but rather with both tribes gathered together at the beach with Probst. So we know something different is happening this episode. Also, the episode preview showed some sort of tribe swap happening, but still. But before we can get to that, there is […]
