This week we interviewed Kat Edorsson. She left the game in episode 7 of Survivor Blood vs. Water. What could have been a solid numbers advantage turned into a nightmare for poor Kat. She had a rocky start with fellow One Worlder Colton, and was eventually taken out by her other One World alumna, Monica. Listen to this interview to hear how Galang's early success affected her ability to sustain al...

The fate of the Baskauskas brothers continues to be a prominent story line since the tribal shuffle. Aras is now officially on the outside of a final 5 alliance. Vytas continues to scrape by because his weaker tribemates have a knack for self destructing once the pressure is applied. Meanwhile, Tina and Katie somehow manage to float by without ever becoming the topic of conversation. It is time fo...

We all agree that the team in charge of challenges at RI was slacking for episode 6. Several of you had some great recommendations for how to improve it, but we would all just as soon not see the "count to 100" task again. Not everyone was in agreement, but most of us seemed to enjoy this episode. No one was surprised to see Kat shoot herself in the foot, and no one predicted that she would return...

This week we interviewed Brad Culpepper. He left the game in episode 6 of Survivor Blood vs. Water. Brad's primary strategy going into the game was to be a shield for Monica, but he quickly found himself cast as the villain of his tribe. Aras saw Brad as a threat and sent a ringer to RI to take him out. Listen to this interview to hear why Tadhana were all willing to vote John out, who orchestrate...

John was able to exact his revenge this week. We bet Candice was quite happy with the result too. The shuffle resulted in Aras and Vytus exchanging places, but it appears like it might have extended to their fates in the game too. Tyson has launched an active campaign against Aras, and it should be interesting to see how this plays out. The merge must be soon, right? How big of an impact do you th...

Folks were split this week on Candice's exit. She definitely evokes strong, polar responses. "Lady Rupert", thanks again Tim, struck most of us as awkward, and it was tough watching her attempt to sew her seeds of discontent in Galang. We heard support for several shuffle options: Family vs. Solo, classic random, shuffle the solos. In any case, the additional twist is expected to further complicat...

This week we interviewed Candice Cody. She left the game in episode 5 of Survivor Blood vs. Water. After being voted off within the first few minutes after forming the tribes, Candice rallied and fought with great determination, vanquishing three other castaways before finally being defeated on day eleven. Listen to this interview to hear what she went through after getting the last minute call to...

The challenge gods appear to have gone out of their way to ensure that both tribes had an equal chance to win immunity this week. The fact that Tadhana had lost four in a row really was not a factor when the challenge consisted of a water slide and a ring toss game. The loss of Brad from Tadhana appeared to have a positive impact on the tribe, despite the fact that they are all bruised, bitten, sc...

Based on this week's feedback, Tyson's stock has gone up considerably with the fans. Brad's appeal took a big dive again, but he redeemed himself with some of us by proving he could be a gracious loser. We're all looking forward to the showdown at RI, and really hope Monica does not sacrifice herself to save her hubby. Caleb impressed us all, but many of us are left wondering how he will be able t...

This week we interviewed Marissa Peterson. She left the game in episode 4 of Survivor Blood vs. Water. Marissa slipped up at the beginning of the game and called Brad out in front of everyone. That small error triggered a sequence of events that eventually sealed her fate. Listen to this interview to hear details on which shady tribemate was in her alliance, how she viewed the option to swap with...

In yet another twist for this season, the drama we are treated to pre and post challenge at RI continues to overshadow the challenge itself. Candice has found a way to annoy and alienate both tribes, undermining her chances of a successful re-entry into the game. The dysfunctional crew at Tadhana continued their losing streak, and we were treated to some comic relief courtesy of the coconut bandit...

Some episodes contain topics that naturally spark a lot of discussion. The idea that someone would completely disrespect the game, their fellow players, the fans and be so selfish as to quit to undermine the show we enjoy so much is certainly one of those topics. You guys certainly came up with some creative ways to vent your frustration and displeasure and found some time to enjoy the better part...

This week we interviewed Rachel Foulger and Colton Cumbie. They left the game in episode 3 of Survivor Blood vs. Water. Rachel never gave up and fought through sweltering, 114 degree, tropical heat to the bitter end to try to save herself. Colton committed the ultimate Survivor sin and quit the game. Listen to this interview to hear details on their alliances, Rachel's assessment of her tribemates...

The two time quitter is finally gone, and we will not have to endure any additional pseudo drama from him this season! That alone would be cause for celebration, but this episode contained a great, vintage challenge packed with intense rivalries and surprising results. Then, it closed with a fantastic blindside as our first "loved ones" couple is now at RI where they will now have to duel each oth...

Based on your feedback, this season appears to be winning more of you over. The loss of Rupert saddened his long time fans, but did not phase others nearly as much as it used to. The possibility that Colton might quit did not surprise anyone here. Most of us share BrandonA's sentiment and want him gone ASAP! So far, the twists appear to be paying off. Everyone's happy with the impact they are havi...

This week we interviewed Rupert Boneham. He left the game in episode 2 of Survivor Blood vs. Water. Rupert fans were surely sad to see him be the first to leave the island. In the past, Redemption Island was viewed as an attempt to keep returning players on the screen as long as possible, but this season's "swap" twist combined with his reputation as a four time player basically ensured that Ruper...

Survivor is known for being a game that shines a light on who you really are, deep down at your core. This week, Colton's redemption story appears to have officially come to an end. He made it four days before he fell back into his old ways. The trend so far is for the returning players to score a come from behind win at the Immunity challenge. It may be unlikely for that trend to change unless we...

The verdict is still out for some of us on how the season is shaping up, but the majority of feedback this week was positive. Now it is time to see how you did with your JABBIC predictions and weigh in on what you think of the cast now that we finally got to see them in action. The power male alliance led by the math challenged NFL player/lawyer caught everyone's attention. Colton did not make any...

Survivor's back for it's 27th season. The whole 0.5 day twist turned out to be a bit of a dud and basically just a vehicle for introducing the cast. We were happy to get 90 minutes to kick things off again though! There was no frantic searching for HIIs, just solid camp life and some extra insight into Ciera, Vytas and Colton's past. The returning players from Galang did great, but their loved one...

It's only five days till the first episode of Survivor Blood vs. Water airs. It can be challenging to recognize the new castaways at the beginning of the season, but we've got an answer for that to enhance your Survivor viewing experience. It's called the JABBIC, "Judge A Book By Its Cover", shows. We get started before the first episode airs and record our early thoughts on this new group of cast...

Welcome to Part I of our "Judge a Book by its Cover" show for season 27, Survivor Blood vs. Water. We have recorded our early thoughts on each of the castaways including how well we think they will do in the overall game as well as their basic bio details to kick off another season of watching Survivor together. Now it is your turn. We want to hear what you think about the 20 castaways that will b...

It is time to take a final look back at Survivor Caramoan. Most of us were satisfied with the finale. Your thoughts on the reunion show were very clear. It was a colossal flop. We all hope we never see that again. Pretty much everyone is happy for Cochran. The verdict on Dawn remains very split. Her gameplay this season was polarizing in a way we had not seen in a long time. One noble fan came to...

We interviewed Cochran, the winner of Survivor Caramoan, on the Red Carpet at the finale. In the end, the season was at its heart and in spite of all the craziness a great redemption story for Cochran. Listen to this audio interview to hear details on his early game strategy, how he and Dawn tag teamed the control of their alliance and lots more! If you are not a subscriber to the Survivor Fans Po...

We interviewed Dawn Meehan on the Red Carpet at the finale of Survivor Caramoan. Dawn's season was an emotional roller coaster like we had never seen before, but in spite of all that, she made it to the end. Listen to this audio interview to hear how she reacted to reliving final tribal at the finale, her take on the role of crying, the betrayals and lots more! If you are not a subscriber to the S...

We interviewed Sherri Biethman on the Red Carpet at the finale of Survivor Caramoan. She started the game strong, calling the shots on her tribe and made having a goat in her alliance with Shemar a cornerstone of her strategy. Continuous losses and a tribe shuffle sent her scurrying to the safety with another goat in Phillip. Little did she know that she was destined to become the goat in the fina...
