SURVIVOR INSIGHTS 289: Season 41 – Lesson of The Story

Episode 9 Review: This was an unforgettable episode. The Immunity-Reward Challenge was a test of endurance. The 10 remaining survivors were divided into two groups of five. One survivor in each group won the necklace. Therefore, it means two would be out and become the second and third members of the jury. There were two Tribal Councils and both were ‘entertainingly unpredictable’ even without the whisperings. 5 of 5 stars, STUPENDOUS

SURVIVOR INSIGHTS 288: Season 41 – Lesson of The Story

Episode 8 Review: A post-merge episode was usually a step down. This was one of them. Evvie was a stand-out character in both challenges. She was unstoppable, but both challenges were recycled. The quality of the competition were not as sharp as the previous episodes, and I don’t know if these were the kind of challenges that were forgettable or just okay. Nothing fantastic. The Tribal Council was once again filled with whisperings, which resulted to a blindside. 3 of 5 stars, SO-SO

Lesson Learned: “The cry gave me clarity. It gave me perspective.” – Shan

SURVIVOR INSIGHTS 287: Season 41 – Lesson of The Story

Episode 7 Review: This was the second part of what supposed to be the merge in Episode 6. Erika made history happened. As a result, the not-so-unexpected twist happened. But wait. There’s more. This was the hottest tribal council yet. There were whisperings. There were plan re-shuffles. Deshawn fought for his life smart and hard. Sydney took the biggest risk. Everything was unforgettable until the last second. 4 of 5 stars, GOOD
