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 […]

But then we got the challenge in the pouring rain (and that’s probably putting it lightly) and some great post-challenge fireworks. We start at… […]

As we open this week’s episode, the castaways continue to get hammered with rain, which unsurprisingly turns out to be yet another Fijian cyclone. And the contestants look absolutely miserable. It gets so bad that each tribe is actually gifted both a fire making kit and a tarp, something you don’t often see on this […]

Ah, Survivor season once again! It’s always a great day when a new season begins. It’s a boon to whatever else is happening in your life at the time. (With Mike White AKA Ned Schneebly on this season, prepare for many School of Rock gifs, memes, and whatever else I can find as long as he remains in the […]
