Five Drinks Into a Survivor Concept: Survivor Savage Island

Tom's Take:


Image result for survivor


First off, I am loving Survivor Winners at War so far. I think my top winner pick has somehow quickly become Tony Vlachos. for anyone who's watched, I am what I consider to be a Breadfruit Truther. In the latest episode, Yul was shown carefully constructing a tool to safely get a single breadfruit, which in my opinion represents his single win. Tony meanwhile used a crazily build ladder to haphardly make it up to the top of a tree, to grab two breadfruits, which I think represent the idea that he's going to somehow against all odds, manage to get a 2nd win this season.

Anyways this blog post isn't about Survivor WAW. It is about a concept for a Season I came up with. Survivor: Savage Island.

The end of this season was disappointing, except for this final moment. Nicole was my favorite player, and I'm glad she was America's favorite too.

But let's talk more about the players and the season as I break down all these players below.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Big Brother 21 Game and Show Rankings Week 4

Tom's Take

The 4th HG who was a POC was evicted in a row. What a dark mark against BB21. And it really looks like the game is going to be miserable. But let's keep on trucking.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Big Brother 21 Game and Show Rankings Week 3

Tom's Take

Things are starting to look up, despite the horrible outcome of the first 3 evictees all being POC, the game is getting dynamic. If you're still watching despite the racist undertones of this season, I think things will get better from this week on.
