- Season 50 Week 9 Recap
The hits keep coming! We got two historic events in one episode, and another fan favorite joins the jury. I blame Jimmy Fallon! What did you think about those two new twists? How did your assessment of the castaways change this week? Who d…
- Season 50 Week 8 LF
The fans have spoken: that was the best episode of the season so far! The primary twist was a hit, and the fireworks at Tribal Council struck a chord too. But the next big question is, what now? We can't wait for Wednesday! We want to than…
- Season 50 Week 8 Recap

- Season 50 Week 6 LF
The fans have spoken and although the "Blood Moon" spiel was a bit of a bust, the episode as a whole really resonated. The triple boot hit hard for many fans and left them lamenting the role of sheer luck in the game, but also acknowledgin…
- Season 50 Week 6 Recap
And you thought the double elimination last week was rough. Week 6 really brought the pain. What do you think? How did this "forever change the game"? Who will pay the price for those vote outs? How do you see the alliances forming now? Ho…
- Season 50 Week 5 LF
Feedback on the double boot was mostly positive and a polarizing castaway has emerged. Merging at 17 and the "tonight will forever change the game" teaser from NToS, generated a lot of speculation for what we might see next. We're excited…
- Season 50 Week 5 Recap
Double eliminations are often brutal, and this was no exception. What did you think about the two that got the boot? Were you satisfied with how the rivalry was resolved? With 17 left, there could be lots of opportunities to realign and bu…
- Season 50 Week 4 LF
Feedback was mixed this week. The extended celebrity reward segment was hit or miss with fans. We all agreed that it could have been much shorter. The upcoming double elimination should get things back on track and provide another exciting…
- Season 50 Week 4 Recap
Wow, we got a new type of reward and a shocker with the vote out. What did you think of this episode? Should they do more rewards like this one? Who do you think will be the targets for the double elimination? Do you expect the idols to be…
- Season 50 Week 3 LF

- Season 50 Week 1 Recap
We devoured the historic, three hour premiere and were left wanting more when it finished. The pacing was great and we enjoyed the tribe time too. This cast really delivered. If we had to pick a low light it would be the medical and the lo…

- Season 49 Finale LF
Feedback on the finale was positive overall, with many being happy with the winner. The season as a whole will not be remembered fondly, with most simply happy that it's over. The fans are optimistic for season 50, and we look forward to r…
- Season 49 Finale Recap
That was a surprisingly enjoyable finale. The twist at final four helped set the tone, and we had a great time watching it all unfold from there. What did you think of the Finale challenges? Who's gameplay impressed you the most? Were you…
- Season 49 Week 12 LF
There was a lot of hope that we might finally get a major, strategic turn with some excitement, but unfortunately the frustration continued. It's fair to say at this point, that this will not be remembered as a great or favorite season by…
- Season 49 Week 12 Recap
That was a double whammy of disappointment! The logic of both of those Tribal Council moves left us sad. If you have any insights, we would love to hear them. How did your assessment of the castaways change after this episode? Who is most…
- Season 49 Week 11 LF
There is a lot of building frustration expressed in this week's feedback. We're all scratching our head and wondering how this group is making voting decisions. Surprisingly, the Journey challenge ended up being a highlight. A lot of our h…
- Season 49 Week 11 Recap
Does voting to get revenge ever lead to a win? What did you think of the twist on the classic spell a word with balanced blocks challenge? How would you use the "block a vote" advantage? How did your assessment of the castaways change afte…
- Season 49 Week 10 LF
The fans have spoken, and that was the best episode so far. Lots of us are waiting for the hammer to drop on a particular showboater. Here's hoping our wish comes true on Wednesday. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed…
- Season 49 Week 10 Recap
That was exciting. It seemed to go by really quickly. We enjoyed it and look forward to hearing your thoughts about it too. How did your assessment of the castaways change after this episode? Who do you think is playing the best, and who i…
- Season 49 Week 9 LF
The consensus from the fans this week is that we are seeing really poor gameplay from one alliance combined with mildly competent gameplay from the opposing alliance that has delivered this "failure to flush" scenario three weeks in a row.…
- Season 49 Week 9 Recap
We thankfully returned to a full Tribal Council this week, but this is the second week where a clear, logical plan is traded for another fuzzy outcome. Are we watching the results of a single skillful player or the bungling results of an i…
- Season 49 Week 8 LF
No surprise we got a wide variety of feedback on this last episode. Some really disliked the move back to tiny tribes, some thought it was exciting because it was unpredictable and others thought it was just meh. In the end, it was Survivo…
- Season 49 Week 8 Recap
How you judge this episode will likely depend on who you are cheering for to win. What did you think of the regression back to tiny tribes? Who do you think will secure the majority alliance now? How did your assessment of the castaways ch…
- Season 49 Week 7 LF
Overall feedback remained positive this week with some saying it was the best of the season, but quite a few were left feeling a bit empty given the vote out. The one thing we all agreed on was that we prefer a real merge with everyone vul…
- Season 49 Week 7 Recap
Relatively speaking, that was a pretty solid Merge episode. We got a surprise ending, and we may get to skip the Mergatory silliness of the 40s. Which do you like better, earn the merge meal or everyone gets to eat? How long do you think t…
- Season 49 Week 6 LF
Feedback on this episode was significantly more positive than last week, with unanimous support for the vote out. We're excited to see how the alliances shake out after the merge. We're looking forward to seeing the game shift into the nex…
- Season 49 Week 6 Recap
Production loves Tiny Tribes, and the "nowhere to hide" concept. It did allow one castaway to finally exact some revenge for another's duplicitous actions. What did you think of the shuffle to three tribes of four? How will this vote out a…
- Season 49 Week 5 LF
Feedback on this episode was a mixed bag with the majority settling on "predictable" as the primary adjective. There was some excellent gameplay that was celebrated, but most are simply looking forward to the merge at this point. The idea…
- Season 49 Week 5 Recap
We got lots of Tribe Time to see how the new tribes were getting along. That certainly provided some insights into how the social game is progressing. What did you think of the mechanics and gameplay we got from this Journey? How do you fe…
- Season 49 Week 4 LF
While the fans saw this as an improvement over the last episode, many are still lamenting the lack of suspense when it comes to the vote out. There was also a lot of discussion on the potential to see tribes start to throw challenges to se…
- Season 49 Week 4 Recap
That was exciting. Tribe shuffles are bit like hitting the reset button and really highlight who has the social chops and the acumen to deal with surprises and still come out ahead. What did you think of the new tribes? How did your assess…
- Season 49 Week 3 LF
Fans found the "Behind The Scenes" content fascinating, but many thought the overall episode was a bit of a let down. We're optimistic that the pending shuffle will add some excitement, and we can't wait for the next installment on Wednesd…
- Season 49 Week 3 Recap
Well that was unfortunate. Medical evacuations are always a bummer, and we certainly don't want to see that type of unprecedented event in Survivor. How would that event affect your willingness to do a water challenge? How do you think the…
- Season 49 Week 2 LF
With the exception of the "disaster tribe" trend, the fans really enjoyed the second episode. The tweaks to the Journey Challenge were a huge hit. Bravo Team Flint! Now if we can just get them to adopt Josh's idea for giving the losers a c…
- Season 49 Week 2 Recap
That was another solid episode. We enjoyed gaining more insight into the tribe dynamics. The Journey Challenge wasn't rigged so that the losers automatically lost their vote which felt like a significant improvement. The Immunity/Reward ch…
