The lack of variety in the shuffle proved disappointing to most as was this week's boot. Wendy's antics and Extinction Island stood out as polarizing topics. Some fans acknowledge and appreciate Wendy's entertainment value, while we all agree on it being an overall losing strategy. Some enjoy seeing life on Extinction while others view it as detracting from the active players. We're excited and lo...

  Well that was unexpected. We basically ended up with the same composition but split across three tribes. Original Kama maintains their dominance in the challenges. What did you think about the tribe composition and about the reasoning behind the vote out choice? What's your guess for why they teased a mad scramble at the Edge of Extinction next week? Who do you think is playing the best, and who...

  With the exception of one "villain in the making from Texas", responses were unanimous this week against Wendy and her plan to deny her tribe of fire and some tasty chicken. We're anxious to see how Chris impacts the Edge of Extinction and we're excited to see how the shuffle to three tribes plays out on Wednesday. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listen...

Aubry got redemption from the editors this week. Her story arc underwent a significant recovery. What do you think that means for her longer term prospects? What are you expecting from the shuffle? Will Kama retain their control of the game when we shuffle to three tribes? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out before the merge? Who will be next to vi...

  Responses this week split down the middle on whether Keith would quit or go to the Edge of Extinction, but we were all disappointed that he felt the need to stop and seriously consider it. It felt downright un-fan-like. Most predict Manu will return for a third time to Tribal Council, but there is also some serious concern that Aubry's time is up. Responses on the season to date remain positive,...

  How much danger are the returnees really in? The editing made it seem like a close call, but the result was a classic Tribal Council blindside. Do you think that someone who has to pause to consider the possibility of going to the Edge of Extinction really belongs on the show? Were they mugging for the camera? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out...

  It's time to get the super fan's assessment on the first episode of season 38. The only significant complaint from the premiere was that it was simply too short. We are used to getting more time too see how the tribes gel and a better sense of everyone's social skills. An hour is just not enough for a show this complex and nuanced. Dan, AKA Wardog, surprised quite a few of us, and we were deligh...

Survivor season 38, Edge of Extinction, got off to a great start! We enjoyed getting a good look at the social vibe in each camp and we got a great challenge too. Yes, we would have loved to have seen more. What did you think of each tribe. Will the returnees be early boots? How do you think the theme will affect this season's castaways? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw...

  Welcome back for Part 2 of our JABBIC preview for season 38, Edge of Extinction. We are only four days away from the premiere on Wednesday, February 20th, and fifteen super fans like you recorded their perspective on the returnees and this interesting, new cast including their choice of favorites, who's most likely to get voted out first, make the merge, have a shot at the final tribal council a...

  Welcome to Part 1 of our JABBIC show for season 38, Edge of Extinction. JABBIC stands for Judge A Book By Its Cover. It's a tradition here at SFP that kick it off with a preseason analysis of the castaways. We do not get a lot of information to work with, but that doesn't stop us from trying to guess who will be good at the game and who will flop. We have shared our early thoughts on each of the...

  What a delight this season turned out to be. Many of us were skeptical back in September when we kicked off this season, but thanks to a great cast and excellent editing it delivered in ways we never anticipated. We loved getting together this last time to celebrate Season 37, Survivor David vs. Goliath and "put a bow on it". Congratulations to Survivor_Master for winning this season's JSFL with...

  One of the big questions going into the finale was, "how's it all going to end"? We have been treated to a fantastic season. Would it go out with a bang or a whimper? We were delighted with the result and thrilled that the finale and the reunion show exceeded our expectations. Due to the complexity of the JSFL scoring, we will announce the final results on the LF show on Saturday. What did you t...

  We all sensed that it was inevitable, but that didn't make it any less sad when one of the fan favorites from this season was taken out just before the finale. On the flip side, there are still quite a few that we all hope make it to the end. We will all be cheering for them in the finale come Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback...

Here we are in the 37th season, after being on for over 18 years, and this group of castaways is still finding ways to surprise us. It's all framed perfectly with the amazing editing too. What did you think about the multi-faceted fake idol plan? What's your final six order? Who do you think will have to make fire at final four? Who is your ideal final three? Who do you think is most at risk now?...

  Responses were split this week on both the catalyst for and the results of "Go Big or Go Home" play. The main thing we agreed on though was the enjoyment we had for the episode and the continued praise for the season as a whole. We're excited for the penultimate episode on Wednesday and the set up for the finale. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener...

  Bing goes the blindside! First you choose to give up your hard fought numbers advantage to draw even again. Next, you make a conscious choice to be the minority again. It's true. Not every big, bold move that makes good TV is a smart move. How did you rate this family visit and the excitement at Tribal Council? What did you think about Gabby's plan? Who do you think is most at risk now? Who impr...

  This season continues to make history and this double episode did not miss a beat. The feedback this week says it all. This is very well the best double we have ever experienced. There's so much to unpack. You guys did a great job with your analysis and now we're all excited to see if Christian can survive the coming onslaught. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another...

  In the past, double episodes often functioned to help quickly move the season along and clear out some less significant players. That certainly was not the case this time though. These two episodes were jammed pack with great challenges and excellent, high caliber game-play that kept us guessing. If a season is going to be in contention for top ten, it really needs a brutal endurance challenge t...

  Would you believe we used to only get recap shows during the Thanksgiving holiday week? My how times have changed. The feedback is unanimous for this one. We were treated to one of the best episodes ever, with high level HII and Advantage play that has never occurred in the history of the game. Can it get better than this? We can't wait for the double episode next week to find out! We want to th...

  What is the definition of doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? The majority alliance is really struggling with that concept this season. That was certainly a whole new flavor of blindside we were treated to this week. This season keeps surprising us. We can't wait for the double episode next week to see how this battle resolves itself. What did you think about how...

  The hits keep rolling in! Based on this week's feedback, if we get a couple more episodes like that one, this season is headed to a lot of folks all time, top ten lists. That doesn't mean everything is rainbows and sunshine though. There's some sadness sprinkled in when we lose a castaway from the game that everyone liked and was cheering for. But, keep those blindsides coming! We want to thank...

  Holy smokes! OK, who saw that coming? The editors have really stepped their game up this season and they obviously are having fun too. Those kind of blindsides are bitter sweet, but we still enjoyed it in spite of the outcome. Who do you think is in control of KaloKalo now? Is there a shift of power/role reversal underway? Which alliance do you think will take control of the game? Who do you thi...

  The feedback is in and the merge episode was an unqualified hit with everyone. The second half of the season is stacking up to be super exciting. We are all anxious to see what the "Counter Goliath Insurgency Alliance" will be able to accomplish. We are excited to see how it plays out from here! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. Th...

  The hits keep rolling in as we were treated to a great merge episode. There was lots going on and we got some great insights into the new social dynamics. This one does not seem like it is going to be predictable either. We were excited to see old alliances renewed and totally new, cross tribal alliances form. To what lengths would you be prepared to go if you found out you were the target at th...

The feedback was split this week on the value of who was voted out, but we remain united on how good the season has been through the first six episodes. The cast is liked and the editing is on point. It's merge time baby, and our only lament is that the episode isn't a double! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from...
