Survivor Micronesia: Stir the Pot (season finale)

The final four women stand tall on Survivor Micronesia
(S16E14) "May the best woman win." - Amanda

Well, this surely was a season of blindsides on Survivor Micronesia, wasn't it? Down to the finale, it just went on and on. After the excitement we had all season due to the strategical game play, I felt tonight's finale was a bit lackluster and full of filler. No, I'm not fussing just because my favorite didn't win. Heck, if that were the case, I would have been gone when Yau-Man hit the dust! Read on past the jump for my full review of the finale.

Survivor Micronesia: If It Smells Like a Rat, Give It Cheese

Going for the pick on Survivor Micronesia

(S16E13) "Win and survive, fail and die." - Erik

Well, maybe you can win and die, too. No, I'm not talking about an odd variant of a James Bond movie. I'm talking Survivor Micronesia. This season has been like a roller coaster ride. While castaways I've been cheering on have been blindsided and cast away much like fish guts to seagulls, I've been enjoying the season nonetheless. After all, it's been their own darn fault!

Survivor Micronesia: I'm Gonna Fix Her!

Survivor Micronesia - The Curse of the Idol
(S16E12) Okay, I officially declare Survivor Micronesia to be one of the best, if not the best, season ever in the series. You see, the show really isn't all about surviving the elements of nature. The survival skills needed don't necessarily have to do with who might forage best in the woods or who can build a sturdy shelter. Nope, it's "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast." And, chances are ... if you outwit and outplay, you're going to outlast. Tonight's backsided blindside will make for Survivor history.

Survivor Micronesia: I Promise ...

The castawys are looking a bit tired on Survivor Micronesia
(S16E10) "When you're annoying, you might not be able to appease everybody with a donut. They might just want the donut." - James

All week the promos for tonight's Survivor Micronesia episode were saying that a blunder would overtake James having two idols and not playing them to save himself in Survivor China. It's true. James is no longer the goat of stupid moves. Maybe they should rename the tag line for the season. Instead of Fans vs. Favorites, it could be When Smart Castaways Do Dumb Things. Or, When Smarter Castaways Outwit Those Not as Smart.

Survivor Micronesia: I'm in Such a Hot Pickle!

The castaways are surviving on Survivor Micronesia
(S16E09) "It's something you have to try, kind of like a juicy rabbit." - James talking about the bowl of bats at the feast.

Ew! Perhaps if they didn't still have fur, were diced and then sautéed in a light garlic butter sauce. Um, no. I still don't think I'd be eating bats when there's a whole table of fruit and other good food. I guess I'm just not that experimental with my foodstuffs. For tonight's new low fat, no bat review of Survivor Micronesia, read on past the jump.

Survivor Micronesia: Like a Wide-Eyed Kid in the Candy Store!

Ladies from Survivor Micronesia
(S16E07) "This is a game called Survivor." - James

Even thought the tribes have mixed on Survivor Micronesia, it still has the Fans vs. the Favorites vibe for the most part. With the exception of a very few folks, the fans still have something to prove and the favorites still think of the fans as wannabes to be swatted off their shoulders. You know, kind of like the chip on the shoulders of many of the returning castaways.

Survivor Micronesia: It Hit Everyone Pretty Hard!

Survivor Micronesia: The challenge is on!
(S16E06) The promos all this week sounded like an exciting episode of Survivor Micronesia would hit tonight. Now, we know that the promos are edited to make us think things happen when they don't happen at all. They take things out of context and show-hungry fans will eat it up.

This week we were led to believe that Jonathan Penner's knee wound from a previous challenge might take him out of the game. We were also led to believe that fan Jason found out that Ozzy has already found the hidden immunity idol on Exile Island. Did either of these events really happen? Did both? Read on past the jump for more.

Survivor China: Ready to Bite the Apple

James from Survivor China(S15E10) Now, you can tell this episode of Survivor China is yet another one named for a James saying. He seems to have an Adam and Eve obsession, as well as a fixation on the apple.

I realize he's hungry and I'm not all that sure apples are indigenous to China. He could nibble on some bamboo. After all, that keeps those cool panda bears looking all that fat and healthy.

Maybe I'd call this episode, "We Don't Need No Steenkin' Apples, Give Us Bamboo!" Yeah, that's it.

Survivor China: Ride the Workhorse 'til the Tail Falls Off

Great chopsticks of fire - Survivor China reward challenge
(S15E04) "Flavor has never tasted so good. This is the delicatist thing I've ever put in my mouth." - Denise

Hmm ... I believe she was going for a variation of delicacy, but who knows? Unlike some of the castaways, I find this season of Survivor China is stepping up more each week. That is, despite the slaughter of the English language at times, it is.

Survivor China: My Mom Is Going to Kill Me!

Why did I want to be on Survivor again?
(S15E02) Oh, sure ... it looks sweet and innocent, doesn't it? But it looks like we're in for a season of rough and tumble challenges, lots of mud, and even more blurred spots covering body areas not normally seen on network television. Oh, my.

Heck, the line they used for the title of the episode is all because of those um ... blurred areas. But, I promise you -- the loyal Survivor China TV Squad readers -- there will be no nudity in this review! Wait! Where are you all going? You didn't just come here for the nudity, did you? Did you?
