Fans face off against former Favorites. Believe it or not, the 16th season of Survivor is upon us!  When the 8th season aired all the way back in 2004, it featured an All-Star cast from the previous seven seasons. If you do the math, it means that we’re due for another reunion, this time with […]

The tribes switch up and Aaron gets voted off. Survivor: China Blog 5th Elimination: Aaron Wow. This was the type of episode that reminds you why you watch this show.  I never, never would have thought I’d be putting up Aaron’s picture this early.  But that’s the beauty of Survivor; the second you think you […]

Things get crazy before the merge. Survivor: China Blog 6th Elimination: Sherea Over the past two episodes Survivor: China has gone from a snooze-fest to an all-out strategic schmorgasboard.

It’s a whole new game when the tribes merge. Survivor: China Blog 7th Elimination: Jaime Once again, Survivor: China has come through with another amazing episode! The show has been on an absolute tear the past three weeks with tons of surprises and double-crosses. What started off as one of the most boring seasons has […]

Jean-Robert gets blind-sided. Survivor: China Blog 8th Elimination: Jean-Robert It’s been an insane week for me.  Since the last blog post, I’ve been on four residency interviews and put together a major presentation for school.  As a result, the Survivor: China Blog has definitely been put on the backburner.  I’ll never get a legit post […]

Frosti gets the “cold” shoulder. (Sorry, that was incredibly lame.) Survivor: China Blog 9th Elimination: Frosti After a terrific run of twists, surprises, and strategy, Survivor: China showed some signs of slowing down this past episode. Don’t get me wrong, there were still some great quotes from James like, “Be happy. Be nekkid. Don’t eat […]

His alliance members “eat the apple” and James goes home. Survivor: China Blog 10th Elimination: James We had a very good episode on our hands last night, so I’m just going to jump right to it… 1. Lame move by CBS. With Thanksgiving last Thursday, it would have been reasonable to expect a clip show […]

Denise’s loyalty is tested. Survivor: China Blog 11th Elimination: Erik Ok, I have to admit that I felt a little foolish when the entire episode went by without Amanda making a play to eliminate Todd. After breaking down every possible final three combination involving Amanda in the last blog entry to prove why she should […]

The alliance holds strong. Survivor: China Blog 12th Elimination: Peih-Gee After back-to-back previews of Amanda talking about getting rid of Todd, I had been waiting for my pick to get the axe each week.  As you can tell from the previous two blog entries, I had spent waaaaay too much time thinking about every possible […]

Todd walks away with the million dollars in a surprising finish. Survivor: China Blog 13th Elimination: Denise Please hold your applause until after the blog entry is finished!

The castaways arrive in China for Survivor’s 15th season. Survivor: China Blog 1st Elimination: Chicken You can’t understand how good the past two weeks have been for me!  After a long summer of barely anything to watch, two of my favorite pastimes are back in action: The NFL, and Survivor.  Now that I no longer […]

A WWE diva gets the axe. Survivor: China Blog 2nd Elimination: Ashley Episode 2 is generally one of the weakest episodes of a Survivor season.  You’ve gotten past the thrill of the premiere and are left knowing it will be a good 5-6 episodes before things really start to heat up.  Everyone is still trying […]
