Sigh. What the hell?! This show needs to get its editing game under control… Does the winner make sense and give a satisfying conclusion to the season? That isn't the case here and it's very frustrating.

Ok, that was my favorite episode of the season, so far. The strategy talk after the Immunity Challenge was a ton of fun, but then things got real. That was one of the most brutal betrayals we've seen on Survivor.

I love it when the contestants find a way to beat production at their own game. It always makes me laugh to watch production scramble to deal with something they didn't anticipate.

Normally I don't really give a crap at all about the Reward Challenges on Survivor, but this episode was certainly an exception. Noelle's win was exciting and badass. Unfortunately, it helped lose her the game.

I really enjoy these episodes of Survivor where they split the group up and two people get sent home. It's a fun way to shake up the game that feels more authentic than just advantages.

This was a pretty straightforward episode of Survivor without any big moves, and you know what, it was nice. It's refreshing to have an episode like this sometimes.

I didn't love this episode of Survivor. While I liked the format for the Immunity challenge, we spent too much of the episode there and Jeff trying to make a big moment out of the castaways helping Noelle and Jeanine out of the net rang hollow.

It was nice to have a merge episode that didn't make me completely rage. To have a good, old-fashioned, chaotic merge episode was a delight.

I hate the Knowledge is Power Advantage with a passion and I was ready to rage about it being back in the game. Luckily, it was knocked right out of the game in this episode and I couldn't be happier. I doubt it, but hopefully it's gone for good this time.

What an absolute meltdown. This was a pretty average episode of Survivor until it wasn't. I was genuinely surprised by how it shook out. Plus we get some cool new challenges.

Episode 3 of Survivor 43 was a pretty average episode of Survivor. Pretty straightforward, but enjoyable, if not spectacular. That's okay. Not every episode needs to be jaw-dropping.

I enjoyed the first episode of Survivor 43, but I wasn't fully hooked. After watching episode 2, consider me hooked. What a fun episode.

Survivor is back, baby! And I am hyped! This was a solid premiere and I'm really optimistic about this season. The cast has a lot of potential and we don't have the Hourglass or the Do or Die this time around.

You know what? I missed this. I missed Survivor. I missed over-extrapolating and interpreting every minute detail of a flawed, fallible show produced by flawed, fallible people.
