Survivor 50 Episode 8 has unleashed yet another controversial twist, the “Double Duos.” Unlike the Blood Moon, though, this twist was much fairer and led to the demise of the Honesty and Integrity alliance. Funnily enough, the name of the twist is worse that the twist itself. Because what kind of name is “Double Duos?”…

Survivor 48 has unleashed a plague upon us all! On a more serious note, episode 7 of Survivor 50 reignites the question of just how honest can you be in a game of Survivor. Is honesty and integrity a true ideology that can function in the game, or is it destined to lead to lies…

A merge with seventeen people still in the game?! How will production ever manage that? I’ll tell you how. By doing a second tribe swap into three tribes of five. Make sure to also give the players a mere two hours to all be on the same island, send two players to Exile Island, and…

Five episodes into Survivor 50, and the theme of the season is becoming clear. How do your past mistakes and Survivor outings affect your approach to the game this time around? Do you let your experiences haunt you and sink your game, or do you adapt and change your game to ensure you don’t make…

Who knew that Q was right to not trust Emily Flippen in the preseason? Maybe people need to take Q’s strategy more seriously and realize that no one who eats pork, drinks coke, and is left handed should ever be trusted. He is 100% vindicated. The Survivor 50 tribe swap brought forth many new dynamics…

Joe Hunter Vs. Rick Devens? That’s a rivalry I did not see coming! Survivor 50’s second episode continues delivering in entertainment and drama! Gastrointestinal distress, bag searches, leg cramps, another Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol being discovered, the reigning champion getting knocked out, there is so much to unpack this episode! The Kalo Tribe: The Dragonslayer…

Survivor 50, the most anticipated Survivor season possibly ever, is off to a fantastic start. There is something for almost every Survivor fan in this premiere. A beautiful montage at the start of the episode recapping the history of the entire show, players from different eras of the show interacting with each other, and perhaps…

The Survivor 50 casting process was a bloodbath. So many iconic players like Jerri Manthey, Abi-Maria Gomez, and Carolyn Wiger were cut from the cast despite seeming like obvious locks for the season. These players were not only cut, but were very vocally upset and disappointed online. These legends were cut despite Survivor 50 having…

Survivor 49 is not a bad season of Survivor. It is a season that— despite a slow start— picks up a lot of steam during the merge, which is genuinely unpredictable the whole way through. Yet, the conversation surrounding the season was largely negative throughout its entire run. And unfortunately, the season’s negative rep has…
