Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 24 Episode 11 (I)

Tom Reviews Survivor Season 24 Episode 11 "Never Say Die"

Except now Troyzan, because you're done.

Here's our Player Rankings!

1. Kim (203 points):


Kim dominated tonight. Unfortunately Troyzan has called Kim out, so she's got to fight. Luckily she's got what   it takes to defeat all her opponents. First she wins a reward challenge that proves she's in control of her alliance, then she makes sure to bring along Alicia in order to insure her loyalty (she probably should have picked Kat instead of Chelsea though.) Then she won immunity (and she dominated that challenge too.) Troy is gone now, so Kim's main threat is out of the way. The only question is whether she can keep the other girls in line. Shouldn't be too big of a challenge, since Christina was willing to accept being voted out. Jesus there are some dumb players. Lastly I give her points for flattering Troy at Tribal councils.

Five Drinks Into The Beek from the Creek

Tom Reviews Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 Season 1 Episode 1 "Pilot"




Yeah. The only reason I'm watching this is for ridiculous and hilarious Dawson's Creek references. Is this enough to carry a whole show?

Yes.

Yes it is.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 24 Episode 10 (I)

Tom Reviews  Survivor Season 24 Episode 10 "I'm No Dummy"

An inappropriate title if ever there was one.

This was a fun episode despite the outcome. I'm not gonna give Troyzan the Player of the Week award for various reasons, but he definitely made this episode more interesting.

This episode correctly points out the issue of timing in everyone's game, however I think the point that is lost here is that it's already too late for most of the moves that were made in this episode. The other interesting thing for me was for Kim to not play her hidden idol despite knowing Troyzan was coming after her. Is that arrogance or just her correctly reading the situation? Either way, I've decided to give her 10 points for every tribal council she survives without using the idol. Unfair way to give her points? Maybe. But there you go.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 24 Episode 9 (I)

Tom Reviews Survivor: Season 24 Episode 9 "Go Out with a Bang"

Well first off that reward challenge was lame, and that immunity challenge was the oldest in the book, so if I was still rating challenges, they'd have really low marks.


So my Player of the Week is Kim, and I award her 10 points.
