Survivor Redemption Island – Family Visits

by Joanna Solomon on May 8, 2011

This week, we experience our very first four-way duel. To be perfectly honest, I’m not loving Redemption Island as much as I did in the beginning of the season. Maybe it’d be better if the returnee only joined at the merge, and then anything after that was a final decision and they just went to [...]

Survivor Redemption Island: Rice Wars

REDEMPTION ISLAND Sort of exciting with a three-person duel, no? Admittedly, it’s not called a duel, but we can settle on “truel,” like Mike and David and Matt suggested. Unfortunately, they brought back one of my least favourite challenges – the house of cards – but at least this time, it was tense. Maybe it [...]

Survivor Recap – Flip, Flop and Philip

by Joanna Solomon on April 7, 2011

Let’s just get this part out of the way: what a great season this is shaping up to be! I’m not sure I could love Rob more. REDEMPTION ISLAND Sarita joins Matt, explaining she was viciously blindsided. Matt wisely banks all this gossip for later use and casts some doubt on his chances by telling [...]

Survivor Redemption – Sweet Taste of Victory

by Joanna Solomon on March 17, 2011

REDEMPTION ISLAND In what must have been a lovely break from their tribe, Krista and Stephanie joined Rob and Grant as spectators for this week’s Duel. The challenge was entirely puzzle-based, which seemed like a pretty fair fight, and yet Matt still came out on top, sending Kristina home for good. Zapatera celebrated the loss [...]

Survivor Recap – I Faked Ya!

by Joanna Solomon on March 10, 2011

REDEMPTION ISLAND Loved this challenge! I like ones that aren’t physical, like this one, which requires some serious guess work and careful placement. It’s well-designed to serve as a Duel. Long story short, Matt won (although the editing made it look pretty darn close), and Russell was heart-broken. His love, the game of Survivor, finally [...]

Survivor 22 –You’re Either With Me or Against Me

by Joanna Solomon on February 24, 2011

REDEMPTION ISLAND I’m glad we got a little taste of this part. I was fond of Francesca, so it’s nice she’s not completely gone. Looks tough out there, but I’m intrigued to see what it brings later down the road.

Survivor Redemption Island – Week 1

by Joanna Solomon on February 21, 2011

Well, I’ll admit it. I was 100% wrong about my predictions already and it’s only been one episode. My winner pick, Grant, didn’t say a single word in the premiere, and Francesca, my pick for definitely making the jury will most likely not be there. Right off the bat, we are introduced to Ralph. Boasting [...]

With two weeks to go, it’s time to get acquainted with the newest competitors. Here’s your cast for Season 22, with predictions based on very little information. They are in my PREDICTED order. This is by no means correct, even close to correct, or related to spoilers. Stephanie, 26 – Not the youngest, but she [...]

In these weeks, we have three important topics to cover to get prepared: the Redemption twist, the returning players, and the new cast.
