If I wanted to watch a reality with a bunch of garbage twists, I would watch Big Brother. I'm getting pretty sick of Survivor pulling this crap. I don't like seeing people in this cast get screwed over. This is a great cast! Let them play! Can we at least get a normal Tribal Council at some point?!

This was a pretty straightforward episode of Survivor, but it was still very fun. I have a lot of questions about why Carolyn had a mace growing up, that's for sure.

Well, I really liked the first 90 of this episode, but I'm really annoyed that Tika didn't have to go to Tribal Council. They lost the Immunity Challenge and I'm annoyed that we didn't get what could have been an awesome Tribal Council.

I have to say I'm not a big fan of the twist in the episode. Swapping one person from each tribe to a new tribe and giving them a Hidden Immunity Idol feels like overly-manufactured drama. I would have rather seen a full tribe shuffle or maybe a chance to choose to mutiny to a new tribe in exchange for an Idol.

There was some really fun fake Idol shenanigans in this episode, which made me laugh a lot. I really hope we get some good payoff from that.

Ugh, I can't believe my winner pick is already out. Carolyn is...something else and the birdcage twist actually turned out to be pretty fun.

Survivor is back, baby! And boy did it come back with a vengeance. That was an elite premiere of Survivor. Seriously one of the all time greats. I absolutely loved the episode. We have a stellar cast and two tribes that I think could be extremely exciting to watch, especially if one implodes like I think it will.

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.
