Season 47, ep 8 - "Tell Rachel it was me" No amount of twists could keep us from recapping this week of Survivor 47, which had plent of good strategy despite everything Jeff threw at the contestants.

Season 47, ep 3 - "Google search: heirloom tomato" 10/04/2024

Season 47, ep 3 - "Google search: heirloom tomato" What's an heirloom tomato? Is it beautiful? It depends on your perspective, sort of like this season of Survivor. We love Survivor 47 so far and here's why: Rome is a terrible, short-sighted player and that's good. Andy might have a chance? Anika and Sam are both right but one of them is possibly more right.
