That was a jam packed, double elimination episode! We got two teams, two Individual Immunity necklaces, and two Tribal Councils that all take place in the course of a single day. Whew, no wonder the castaways are mentally and physically exhausted at this point in the game. Where do you think the alliances stand after this double whammy? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Wh...

The consensus was clear, this week's episode was a bit dry and did not register as peak, strategic play. There was plenty of talk about mixing it up, a potential underdog uprising, but in the end it was a boring vote out of quite possibly the least threatening player in the game. The upcoming double elimination stands to really shake things up though. We're expecting to see some Immunity Idols and...

It is exciting to see someone who is such a big fan of the show live out their dream of winning an individual Immunity challenge. It was different seeing Probst take such a hard line on the bargaining this time. What did you think about who chose to sit out versus those who competed? Do you think the core seven alliance will be able to survive a double elimination? How did your assessment of the c...

Thoughts on this last episode were mixed, but there was one thing we all agreed on. Jeff, the feedback is crystal clear: let the reality be. There's no need to craft it or inject unnecessary and irrelevant metaphors. Save the storytelling for the books, and give us the straight, unfiltered action. That said, we are excited for the next episode and the potential showdown between the Knowledge is Po...

We're finally at the individual portion of the game, and it really slammed it into high gear. It's always exciting when records are broken, and you get to see a player make history. What did you think were this week's big moments. Do you think this majority of seven will hold strong? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who do you think is playing the best, who's in control o...

It's official, the new merge format is a hit. Folks really enjoyed this episode and were thrilled that the Hour Glass did not return. It was exciting to see how the first full tribe vote played out. We're equally looking forward to the next episode and learning how the advantage hidden under the shelter will affect the game. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another grea...

That was so, so much better than the merge fiascos we experienced in the previous two seasons. Let's hope the "Turn Back Time Hourglass" lives somewhere on a shelf with the Medallion of Power, and here's hoping we never see it again. What did you think of this change? Do you like the "earn the merge" concept, and what are your thoughts on only half the tribe getting a merge feast? How did your ass...

Oh how the mighty have fallen. In what ended up being a moment of self sabotage, hatched by a single tribe member that fancied themselves a strategic mastermind, the once dominant tribe of the season has now drawn even with the least dominant tribe. We appear to be headed into a merge, and we're excited to see the game shift into high gear from here and really test this group of castaways. We want...

We only got one challenge this week, but we got the third discovery of the Beware Advantage and the third trip to the Risk/Reward temptation station. It ended up being jammed with action again. What can we expect as the tribes come together next week? Will we see a flurry of Immunities played as the new alliances form? How will it affect the two castaways who will not be able to vote at their next...

This week's feedback featured many discussions on the dangers of paranoia. Now that Coco too has been tested by Tribal Council, it puts all the tribes back on a more equal footing. We're looking forward to seeing how many risk their votes and who ends up with a possibly game changing advantage on the next episode. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener...

Okay, we got a Reward challenge, a tribe raid, and an Immunity challenge. It was another jam packed episode. What did you think of the alliance that was formed at the Immunity challenge? Do you think it will last into the merge? Did we just witness a major power shift? 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 b...

Sounds like we all enjoyed this episode and many of us are especially looking for forward to the showdowns brewing on Baka and Vesi. Will this be the week that Coco gets tested? We're excited to see how it plays out on Wednesday! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Pete, Robert, Sandi, Chris, Mary, Nora, Drew,...

Well, it wasn't the ninety minute gem we got last week, but it was jam packed with action that kept us on the edge of our seats. Thanks to those first two episodes, we know who everyone is and can keep up with all the jumps between tribes and locations. What do you think about inter tribe raids? Do they ever end well? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who do you think is p...

The consensus has been clear. Two hours works for special occasions and ninety minutes with one tribal council is the sweet spot we'd like to have going forward. Not everyone is digging this cast, but most are enjoying them. We are excited for Wednesday night, even if it is reduced to just sixty minutes, because we get the next installment of our favorite show! We want to thank and acknowledge eve...

This might be the winning format. Ninety minutes for an episode with one Tribal Council feels like the sweet spot. We're loving the extra Tribe Time. What did you think of this new Beware Advantage? 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 before the merge? Who impressed you the most? Here is wh...

It's great to be back and time to get the Survivor Super Fan's take on the first episode of season 43. The two hour episode with only one Tribal Council was a clear hit. We are all so hopeful for this cast too. It's a great start. We can't wait for Wednesday night when we get the next, ninety minute installment of our favorite show! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to anot...

We are convinced. Two hours really works for the season premiere. We love the extra time to get to know the new cast. What did you think of the new, three person "risk your vote" segment? Do you like it better than Shipwheel Island? How did your assessment of the castaways change once you saw them in action? Who do you think is playing the best, and who is still in jeopardy of being voted out befo...

Welcome back for Part 2 of our JABBIC, Judge A Book By Its Cover, preview for season 43. We are only four days away from the premiere on Wednesday, September 21st, and nine super fans like you recorded their perspective on 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 as well as who...

Welcome to Part 1 of our JABBIC, Judge A Book By Its Cover, preseason show for season 43. Similar to last season, we have all new players, so we have very little 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 t...

An "under the radar" edit almost always yields mixed feedback on the winner, but we all agreed that this was a great cast that overcame most of the gimmicks that production forced on the game. Season 42 provided us with some new legends in the game. Many of us are already looking forwarding to watching them play again in the future. We'll be on break over the summer and look forward to joining you...

Wow, that took a couple of really surprising turns in the Immunity Challenges for us. We enjoyed seeing how it came to a conclusion and really liked this cast and the season as a whole. What did you think of the challenges? Who's gameplay impressed you the most? Were you happy with the end result? What Final Tribal Council questions stood out for you? How about the Survivor After Show? What's your...

The fans agree. That staggering, late game blindside changed the direction of the endgame. We had a blast discussing it all and got lots of great predictions from the Super Fans. We're excited for the finale and the immediate "reunion" segment. We'll meet you back here on Wednesday for the recap! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. Thi...

We got a lot of action from a couple of late, strategic bloomers this episode, but wow were they exciting to watch. It set us up for an exciting finale. Which reward would you have chosen? What did you think about the plan to take an idol out of circulation? Who do you think will make it to the final three? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who do you think is playing the...

The burning question this week was: what would have happened if only one castaway chose to do the Immunity Challenge? The other big consensus was that the player voted out really left their mark on the game. With all these idols and advantages expiring, we're expecting fireworks in the next episode! We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show....

Whew, did you get all that? That episode was packed with strategic action! There was so much maneuvering and shifting it was hard to keep up. What would you do when faced with the potential of Do or Die: play or sit out? Do you think the Immunity Idol will be returned? Who do you think will make it to the final four? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who do you think is pl...
