Finally! The vote out this week was a major milestone, but who really benefited the most? The path forward seems hazy for many players at this stage. Do you think the majority alliance at final seven will hold strong? Who's really calling the shots? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out? Who...

The fans have spoken! They're looking for a shakeup, someone to emerge to challenge this dominant alliance of four that appears to be dictating the flow of the game. We're excited to see who might step forward and take control of the game to avert the Pagonging that is currently in progress. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This wee...

Our heads are spinning. That was a lot of activities packed into a single day of the game! Another three way split at this stage of the game was a bit of a shocker. What did you think of the last two Individual Immunity face offs? Do you think anyone is sandbagging to lower their threat level? Has the final four already been decided? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who d...

It's official. The return of the Survivor Auction was a hit! Several fans had recommendations for further improvements, but on the whole, it was great to have this favorite element return to the game. Speaking of favorites, we lost another in the vote out this week, but most agreed that was part of what made the blindside so exciting. Ever skeptical when it comes to removing votes, we're curious h...

We finally got our first, post merge episode where everyone but one castaway was vulnerable and we got to see the group dynamics at work. It took a while but it was nice to have the classic stage of the game fully underway now. Speaking of classics, what did you think about the return of the Auction? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them all together this week? Who do y...

The flip side of good casting is that the fans are deeply saddened when a favorite castaway leaves the game. Feedback this week says we got a double dose of that, albeit for different reasons. We are all anxious to see if they found a fix for the Auction, and if we will see the emergence of a women's alliance. We can't wait for Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed t...

The double elimination at this stage in the game really had an impact this season. We enjoyed seeing a classic challenge return. It's clearly one of the more difficult ones, and the stakes were high with a built in hero moment at the end. What's the chance that we see a women's alliance this season? What do you think about the return of the Survivor Auction? How did your assessment of the castaway...

We have, unfortunately, experienced some significant lows this season, but the feedback is loud and clear on this episode. This was a clear fan favorite. That tends to happen when we get to experience a historic moment in the show. The challenge and ensuing Tribal Council really delivered. We're excited about the possibilities in the next double elimination and already looking forward to Wednesday...

It's "earn the merge" time for Season 45! We enjoyed getting to see all 13 of the remaining castaways scrambling to find new footing in the larger group. What did you think about the alliance choices? How would you manage if everyone was literally out to get you? Is there any way to return from that? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them all together this week? Who do y...

Everyone was thrilled that we had a normal episode. Folks were mixed on how they would have responded to the Sustenance vs. Strategy advantage. As we head into the Merge or Mergatory, several targets seem likely, and we're excited to see how it plays out when the castaways are all together on one beach. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback sh...

Have you noticed how much better an episode is when we don't have quitters? What a relief. This was another interesting one with lots of great Tribe Time and the introduction of another advantage that powers up in stages. Will it spark teamwork or some classic Survivor treachery? Is it really a merge? If so, how will they have to earn it this time? How did your assessment of the castaways change o...

Unfortunately, the last episode gave us our second quitter of the season. In spite of that, there were some highlights worth celebrating, and the super fans showed up this week to hash it all out. Now that it's behind us, we're ready for the next installment on Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pet...

Jokes on us. We thought we were done with this kind of thing. But nope, the latest eliminated castaway decided they wanted to mine the bottom of the barrel for some additional disappointments to heap on this season. Well, aside from the ending, what did you think of this episode? How do you think the tribe shuffle will affect the game going forward? How did your assessment of the castaways change...

This week we heard from: Pete, Christiana, Robert, Dan, Rebecca, Rashmi, Nora, Mary, Tara Jean, David, Parker, Kim,...

In a game where you can trust no one, but have to trust someone, it's always fascinating to see how players build these connections. This episode could have been titled, "Trustbuilding 101". It was certainly a central theme in the development of the social game for all three tribes. What are you hoping we see in the coming tribal shuffle? Who do you think will best be able to manage the transition...

The fans are thrilled with the changes so far this season. We're loving the intro, the new puzzles, the update to the challenge sit out rule, and the change at shipwheel island that lets you keep your vote. The extra tribe time is much appreciated, and it's great to get confessionals from everyone. Good job production team! We appreciate and approve the changes. All this goodness has us excited fo...

Now we're cooking! The longer episode gave us some good views of how each tribe is progressing. We really liked the changes so far this season from the new puzzle to being back to not forcing the loss of votes for the advantage island trips. What did you think about the return of "Previously on Survivor" and the classic intro video? When's the best time to do a tribe shuffle? How did your assessme...

It's great to be back, but the premiere ended on a sour note for some of us. In any case, it's time again to get the Survivor Super Fan's take on the whole, first episode of season 45. We had some interesting twists, what turned out to be some interesting casting choices, and plenty of what we love about the show. Overall, feedback was optimistic for the season, and we are happy to be back togethe...

OK, we clearly didn't see that coming. There were some classic, season opener moments, but the ending really laid an egg. What did you think about the change to the Sweat + Savvy challenge? Will they be able to shake the stink from that first Tribal Council? Is there hope yet for season 45? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the...

  Welcome to Part 1 of our JABBIC, Judge A Book By Its Cover, preseason show for season 45. Once again, we have all new players, so we have limited information to go on when theorizing how we think they will perform. We have shared our early thoughts on each of the castaways including how well we think they will do in the overall game to kick off another season of watching Survivor together. Now i...

Production's drive to deliver "TV Moments" has left some fans scratching their heads, wondering how this happened, again, but overall the fans have declared this a positive season, with a happy outcome and some even said it the best from the new, 26 day series. What made it special for us was getting to share it all with you, and we look forward to joining you again in September for Season 45. We...
