Survivor 23 South Pacific: Who are the returning Contestants? First rumors…

Ok, I was not too excited to see Boston Rob and Russell return last season, and not only because I hate both. The main reason why I was not excited was because having two returning members totally messes up the game in my opinion. Guatemala was a forgettable season mostly because of that, and Redemption Island was the worst season of all just because of that reason. So, I’m not exactly excited about Survivor – South Pacific right now. But who knows? Maybe this time they’ll cast people who have a brain, or if they don’t, they won’t put all of the zombies in the same tribe. And of course, Continue reading »

Survivor 22 - Redemption Island: It was indeed a no brainer.

This season is over. Finally! Never before I have been so happy for a season to be over. I mean, usually, once the Reunion show ends, I’m always a little sad knowing that I’ll never see again some of the people I have followed and rooted for or against during four months. This time? Yes, I’ll be sad to not see people like Francesca or Ralph again, but this sadness was nothing compared to the joy of being done with Natalie, Ashley and hopefully Boston Rob (although, I don’t believe he’ll never be back).The episode itself? The least suspenseful episode ever. I know the editors didn’t have much material to Continue reading »

Survivor 22 - Redemption Island: Too Close for Comfort

I was very excited to blog about this season before it begins. I had just started this blog (and transfered my old posts about Survivor to it) and I swore to myself that I’d cover it in as much detail as possible no matter what (on previous seasons, I have bee guilty to skip my reports at times). Probst had talked about it as one of the best seasons ever. The cast looked good and interesting… This was going to be exciting.Now, that the season is coming to a close, I almost regret having done so. How many hours – hours I will never have back – have I spent Continue reading »

Survivor 22 - Redemption Island: You mangled my nets!

And I thought that having only Ometepe left would make this season interesting… No, it was just another predictable episode, with nobody but Rob willing to play the game, again… At this point, the only thing that could redeem Redemption Island is if Phillipactually turns out to be the most amazing special agent and reveals at the final tribal that he played them all since day one. Anything short of that will rank this season among the worst.Also, I know I’m not going to make friends here, but what’s up with the religious nutjobs getting glorified this season? I know America is currently on a slippery slope heading towards more Continue reading »

Survivor 22 - Redemption Island: A Mystery Package

At first I thought the title of the episode would refer to something much nastier and related to the fact that Phillip wouldn’t find his shorts. I’m relieved. However, this is the only thing I’m relieved about really. And I’m pissed at Jeff Probst. I’m pissed at him, because after two disappointing non All-Stars seasons (Samoa and Nicaragua) I had high hopes for this season, the cast seemed very interesting and Probst promised this season was going to be in the Top Five. Or did he mean the Top Five of the worst seasons ever?Seriously? Is there anything to redeem this season at all? First, the most interesting female players Continue reading »

Survivor 22 - Redemption Island: Rice Wars

Gosh another episode painful to watch and this time not for pagonging reasons (although it’s still going on, let’s not forget about it). I hate it when race becomes an issue and it really did last night. Sad. That being said, my suspicious mind still seems a bit suspicious about a thing or two related to that incident. Let’s move on and see what can be said. Redemption Island    – David Murphy out of the game and first member of the jury: Well, not much to say here, I had placed high hopes in David, they’re gone. End of story. The fact that he is the first member of Continue reading »

Survivor 22: Redemption Island - This Game Respects Big Moves

Yeah for the merge! Say what you want, except for a couple of seasons, the post-merge part is always the better. Sure we’ll still have a few people thinking in terms of teams. Oh well, we need jury members after all… A very interesting episode, quite a frustrating one too as some people (Matt and Andrea) could have turned the game around, and instead Matt decided to go with being an idiot. As you -hopefully- already know if you’re reading these lines, that just got him sent back to Redemption Island, which is such a waste after winning all of those challenges. Talking about being sent back to Redemption Island, Continue reading »

Survivor 22 - Redemption Island: The Red Headed Stepchild

I gotta admit, this episode was somewhat boring. Less boring than most episodes of the previous season, but still quite disappointing after the firework that the beginning of the season was (and I hope that it means that the second half will be intense too) Redemption Island I generally like the Redemption Island twist so far, especially the part where the “audience” can communicate with the duelists and the other team, but as Dalton Ross pointed out this week, it also takes out the most intense part of the viewing experience, the one that made Survivor such a interesting and popular show. The fact that when you’re voted out, that’s Continue reading »

Survivor 22 - Redemption Island: We hate our tribe

I like this time in the season where things are set into motion for the post-merge part. First I kinda was wondering why Probst has been raving about this season for weeks, it seemed obvious that the Zapatera Six were going to be the final six. Now, not so much. Andrea and Phillip maybe up to something, the Zapatera Sixis just waiting to crack (note to future Survivors contestants: a six person alliance is just to big to work).Let’s see all of this in more details. Redemption Island Is that the face they take when they try to charm people? – Kristina Kell is gone: Apparently she was really physically Continue reading »

Survivor 22 Redemption Island - Don't You Work For Me?

Alright people, you’ll have to be good with me. As I mentioned yesterday, I was too busy to blog about this week’s episode and today, I’m having a hard concentrating on this as the sad news from Japan are “diverting” me the say the least (for those who don’t know I have some personal connections to Japan, and while I don’t know anybody that was directly hit by the earthquake and the tsunami, it is unsettling nonetheless).Ok, let’s talk about Survivor. Another interesting episode, although I’m getting more and more annoyed at the casting directors and/or editors for having so many uninteresting people season after season lately. Samoa was a Continue reading »
