Break Time Reviews
Post Tribal/Vata Beach Back at the beach after the Ron vote, Devens tells the rest of the tribe that the idol came to him anonymously from the Edge. If you remember, there has been chatter this season among the castaways that all the idols and advantages are only coming from Extinction Island. Certain players know […]
Post Tribal Ron talks to Devens to try to pull him back in. He gives Devens his expired advantage, hoping he will take it at face value. Devens is surprised but doesn’t immediately dismiss its legitimacy. If you’re in Devens’ position, you have to be wary of this move. Nobody just gives away something this […]
Post Tribal After the Wentworth boot, Gavin feels a little insecure. He confronts Wardog about not being included on the vote. Wardog openly says he didn’t trust that Gavin would flip on Wentworth. Gavin doesn’t like that Wardog is “barking out orders” and talking to him “like a dog.” My guy, take a look at […]
And then there were none. Well, technically there are still four, but for the time being there are none. I’m referring of course to the number of returning players left in the game. Joe and Aubry had already been banished to Extinction Island. And after tonight they are now joined by fellow returnees David and […]
Well that was wild. I don’t know how I can start anywhere but tonight’s Tribal Council. After all, part of the journey is the end. Yes, we’re in Avengers: Endgame gif time. Just a couple weeks away now, will definitely try to pepper (no pun intended, Pepper Potts sucks) in as many Endgame related gifs as I can. […]
Once again we skip the “Previously on Survivor” segment and jump right into the game. You have to believe this choice is made to maximize live air-time. With the large merged tribe, plus the events on Extinction Island, there is still a lot of gameplay to cover. And I think the show is better off for […]
Merge/EoE Challenge Just like the show jumped right in this week with no “Previously on” segment, we’re jumping right into our recap with no lead-in. We start right away with the always heavily anticipated merge. There are the usual smiles and cheers and boost in endorphins. Those are somewhat tempered, though as Jeff starts waxing […]
It’s merge time baby! We just had a double episode last week, and now we’re hit with the merge? Count me in 100% for that. I say this every season – and I’ll likely say it in my recap too – but the merge episode is often one of the strongest of the season. This […]
Any time Survivor puts out a double episode, you can expect big things. Whether those big things are huge, game shifting moves, new twists, or just two exceptionally fun hours, you know you’re in for a treat. And this season was no exception. I would argue these two hours were the most fun so far of the […]
It’s hard to judge a season of Survivor off of four pre-merge episodes. But let’s go for it anyway. This season just hasn’t clicked yet. There are some fun characters for sure (Devens is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorites), but all in all, it just feels lackluster. To be fair though, a large part of […]
