There is still a chance for an original Savaii member to make it back into the game, but Upolu succeeded in eliminating them all from the Te Tuna camp for now. How do you think the god powered family will turn on each other now they have no obvious enemies left to target? Does poor little worker bee Edna stand a chance against the black and white vote out order that the Upolu five established at t...

This can be a crazy, hectic time of year here in the states as we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving. You may be yearning for a break from all the hustle and bustle and need to escape back into your favorite show to recharge. Here is a short and sweet slice of Survivor pie to hold you over until the next full episode returns on November 30th. CBS is providing one of those special, retrospective sum...

This week we interviewed Jim Rice and Keith Tollefson. They left the game in episode 10 of Survivor South Pacific. Both men were done in by the vicious one two punch of Cochran's betrayal of his tribe and having to face Ozzy in a Redemption duel. Listen to this interview to hear who in Savaii had a final 3 alliance with Cochran, what really happened to Jim's plan to give Ozzy immunity, details on...

Double eliminations: They are a great response to a long drawn out Pagonging with the potential to allow for surprise power shifts too. Is Redemption Beach the ideal environment for challenge monster/survival skills expert Ozzy? Who do you think is the most dangerous person still in the game? If Ozzy manages to dispatch Dawn and Whitney and win his way to final 3, he is likely sitting on 4 jury vo...

There is always the possibility of predictability when one alliance or tribe gains the upper hand after the merge, but that does not stop Survivor fans from finding interesting points to ponder for each episode. That is because we like to consider all the possibilities and the impact that different strategies might have. The Listener Feedback show this week, while shorter than normal, covers a lot...

If one tribe gains control and begins to systematically eliminate their competition, you could not ask for a better solution than double eliminations to speed up the process. Is Cochran out for revenge or is he purely pursuing his best interests? What did you make of the explanations he offered? Does Dawn stand a chance to find a spot in Upolu? What did you think of Jim's grand plan to save Ozzy a...

Another great episode spawned a correspondingly excellent Listener Feedback show! Cochran's moves were, as expected, a hot topic of conversation. Quite a few people weighed in with some grudgingly acknowledged respect for Coach, although not everyone is willing to assign him full credit for flipping Cochran. Quite a few people pointed out how Savaii had, for the most part, brought this on themselv...

This week we interviewed Christine Shields Markoski. She left the game in episode 8 of Survivor South Pacific. Christine became a dominate force at the Redemption duels and a fan favorite. Unfortunately, her reign came to a screeching halt when Ozzy hatched his Trojan Horse plan. Listen to this interview to hear why Coach really targeted her, who she thinks is not being portrayed accurately, what...

Well, what do you think of Cochran now? Did he single handedly doom Savaii's chances at the million? Did they bring this on themselves? Is there any scenario where Cochran can still win? Dawn appeared to take yet another ride on the emotional roller coaster this week. What did you make of her advice to Cochran? Did she lose her shot at winning too? Do you think the crazy elements of Upolu can hold...

Episode 7 qualifies as the most controversial so far. The two returning players remain at the center of the controversy. Coach's over the top religious zealousness combined with his plot to deceive Brandon through prayer resulted in many fans calling him out as a hypocrite. The general, over abundance of religious content this season is wearing thin for many as well, regardless of their religious...

This week we interviewed Mikayla Wingle. She left the game in episode 7 of Survivor South Pacific. Mikayla was arugably one of the physically strongest females to ever play Survivor. But as so often happens, she was undone by the social aspect of the game. Listen to this interview to hear how she felt about Brandon's obsession with her, what challenge she was not allowed to do, why Rick voted for...

Here's to paying the bills. Some of you were recently asking if we would get a return visit to Survivor Cinema, and we got the answer tonight. Thankfully, that was not the highlight of the episode though. Ozzy made the biggest move of the season, with his Trojan Horse strategy. How would you rate it: blunder or brilliant? Do you think Coach's plan to reveal the idol worked to mend the split with A...

Season twenty three keeps delivering, and as the "seesaw" affect continued through episode six, it kicked off a flurry of predictions from you for what we can expect next. Several of you focused in on Ozzy's potential trip and predicted return from Redemption Beach. Fans of Albert suggested he might light Brandon's fuse by telling him that Coach has the HII. Predictions for the duel were about eve...

This week we interviewed Elyse Umemoto. She left the game in episode 6 of Survivor South Pacific. She came to Survivor looking for a new life experience, and she got one courtesy of a classic Survivor moment, the blindside! Listen to this interview to hear how she was chosen for the show, what she thought about her experience, a secret confessional and lots more! If you are not a subscriber to the...

The back and forth struggle between what is shaping up to be one of the most balanced pair of tribes in Survivor history continues. Do you think the main story this season should focus on Coach and Ozzy? Do you think Ozzy would be willing to sacrifice himself and risk going to Redemption Beach if they were to lose another challenge? How will Albert and Sophie recover from the split that occurred i...

Four big themes jumped out of the feedback on episode 5 this week. The gross out factor of the immunity challenge prompted many folks to suggest that the producers retire this one. Support for Cochran is waining. Many asked, "Has he actually done anything to merit our support?" The backlash against Ozzy which started last week continues as Cochran stoked the fires with his pronouncement of lazines...

This week we interviewed Stacey Powell. She left the game in episode 5 of Survivor South Pacific. She also ended up outside the majority alliance. That plus her association with Christine and fierce independence made her an early vote out target. That does not mean she was invisible though. Stacey provided some of the funniest moments we have seen in Survivor. We will absolutely miss watching her...

Welcome to the Survivor South Pacific playground. Over here you'll note the classic seesaw. That's what we use to predict which tribe will win the next immunity challenge. Well, it's starting to seem like that at least. One thing is for certain, these two tribes have been well balanced through episode 5. Are you still enjoying it? Do you think Albert might have taken advantage of Coach a little wi...

We got mixed reports on episode 4. A lot of you really enjoyed it, but a few, not so much. One thing that came through loud and clear this week is that Ozzy is rapidly losing fan support. The old assessments of arrogance and over confidence are back again along with at least one clear scenario that could see him lose the majority advantage in his tribe. Edna certainly gained some empathy votes thi...

This week we interviewed Mark Caruso AKA PapaBear. He left the game in episode 4 of Survivor South Pacific. He unfortunately found himself on the outside of the majority alliance on his tribe. As the oldest male in the game much less his tribe, plus some lackluster performance in the challenges, he became an early vote out target. Listen to this interview to find out who betrayed his initial allia...

They really kept us guessing with this one. There were so many potential vote outs presented in the first half of the episode. Brandon continued his disintegration, while further undermining his supposed alliance. Edna got a wake up call. Cochran, Dawn and Jim were considering risky moves, which in turn highlighted Elyse as a new target too. Once the Immunity Challenge was settled it narrowed a bi...

Another solid episode and you guys really brought some great analysis and serious laughs to this weeks feedback show. No one shed a tear over Semhar's departure. Nor did anyone seem surprised that Papa Bear ended up at Redemption Beach. Everyone expects that Christine will make quick work of him. We were split on what the future may hold for Cochran as well as Brandon's groan worthy attempt to be...

This week we interviewed Semhar Tadesse. She left the game in episode 3 of Survivor South Pacific. She voiced a passion to play the game and took the risk of stepping up to help her team for the first immunity challenge, but things went south for her when she failed to perform. Listen to this interview to find out how she was cast, her assessment of her tribemates, what we missed at that first tri...

Brandon can't seem to get out of his own way. He somehow manages to be frustrating and entertaining to watch all at the same time. Can you think of a more memorable meltdown? What would you do if you were in an alliance with him? How do you think Mikayla handled it? The Upolus weren't the only ones having fun this week. There was plenty of action at Savaii too. Ozzy managed to keep his secret for...

The strong episodes continue with week 2, and judging from your feedback, a lot of us are thrilled to have so many in the cast this season that actually appear to be playing the game with some gusto. Brandon's bizzare behaviour continues to be a centerpiece for discussion. Many were not remotely surprised to see Christine go, most of us hope you quickly puts Semhar out of her misery at Redemption...
