Hot DAMN was that some good Survivor. Some good television, period. It's become crystal clear these last few months that Heroes vs. Villains was the perfect Icelandic volcano eruption for fans of the 10-year-old seriesMarch 19, 2019
One of the craziest seasons of Survivor ever.March 19, 2019
Okay, the finale couldn't quite live up to this season's most impressive moments, but that's often the case -- and this time in particular, those were considerably impressive heights it was attempting to equal.March 14, 2019
The Russell vs. Boston Rob feud made for the best pre-merge run of episodes ever, and the greatness just kept on coming.March 14, 2019
How much fun was it to see Sandra win again, in basically the same way she did before, being just as underestimated as she was the first time. It's like the 1980 U.S. hockey team winning the Miracle on Ice again.March 14, 2019
Getting a cast of all veterans together is always fun, and the twist of good guys vs. bad guys was an excellent hook. It also was pretty delightful that the villains emerged victorious.March 19, 2019
Above all, Survivor has learned what John Milton did writing Paradise Lost: Villains are more interesting than good guys.March 19, 2019
The show is still in top form, and we still haven't even reached the best part of the season: The inevitable blindsides, which always seem to hit those who most deserve them.March 19, 2019
I find myself re-energized, happy to see challenges and fire-building and scheming and all the rest. I may burn out eventually, but when "Survivor" is good -- as this episode mostly was -- it's very good.
