Survivor: Cook Islands: This Tribe Will Self-Destruct in 5, 4, 3... (season finale)
(S13E14) Ah, we've reached the end of a very satisfying season of Survivor. It was one of my favorites in a long time because there were some incredibly strong players out there and some very sharp moves. The main twist of the finale is the introduction of a final three instead of a final two. While it doesn't really impact the voting I think it did mean that two of the most deserving got into the finale rather than one strong player picking the player they believe they can beat.Continue reading Survivor: Cook Islands: This Tribe Will Self-Destruct in 5, 4, 3... (season finale)
Survivor: Cook Islands: I Have An Advantage... For Once
(S13E13) We are down to it now. And the real question is how are they going to resolve the finale. With only one episode left and more players than we are used to seeing there definitely have to be additional tribal councils during the finale. This episode wasn't that exciting despite some two interesting challenges but the finale looks to be epic, especially since someone from the old Aitu is finally going to have to get voted out.Continue reading Survivor: Cook Islands: I Have An Advantage... For Once
Survivor: Cook Islands: Arranging a Hit
(S13E12) This week's episode makes me ponder what is really important in the game. The former Aitu alliance seems iron-clad. They have a plan and they are sticking with it. They have the numbers. And yet, underneath it all, maybe the underdogs, the little team that could, still feels like the uncool kids. How else can I justify their willingness to be swayed by a couple of corn cobs and a few friendly glances from the dim remains of the frat boy tribe?Continue reading Survivor: Cook Islands: Arranging a Hit
Survivor: Cook Islands: You're A Rat
(S13E11) This week's episode of Survivor was one of the most heated I have ever seen. It's definitely more like Big Brother than Survivor with Raro in the game. If there were dishes to be done or a bathroom to be cleaned they'd be fighting about that too. Still, it makes for some interesting watching and it does seem to be rattling Cool Yul whose may be letting his dominant position go to his head.Continue reading Survivor: Cook Islands: You're A Rat
Survivor: Cook Islands: Why Would You Trust Me?
(S13E09) It's merge time. It's a bummer for me since I really was hoping they'd just let little Aitu fight it out to the finish. But instead we now have Aitutonga which is a bit like a frat keg party mixed with a meeting of the chess club. The best thing about this season is that there are a series of small paired alliances and then a few mercenaries. No one likes a mercenary but they sure keep things interesting.At the merge feast, Yul offers the first olive branch saying that he looks forward to getting to meet the other tribe. "You've got class," answers Nate enthusiastically. He's enthusiastic, of course, because he is drunk off all the beer at the merge feast. Jonathan is increasingly frustrated with the "youngsters" of Raro who don't seem to care about winning the game and act as if the are on The Real World instead of Survivor. So it seems natural that he should hook up with Yul again.

Survivor: Cook Islands: Why Aren't You Swimming?!
(S13E07) Were I stuck on Survivor this season there is one rule I would follow: shut your yap. I don't think I've seen a season before where free speech could get you in so much trouble. Blowing a challenge doesn't get you voted out this season but tooting your own horn or speaking your mind is a deadly offense.Continue reading Survivor: Cook Islands: Why Aren't You Swimming?!
