#Survivor Heroes vs. Villains - Ah, Rites of Passage with four Villains! A whole lot of "Oh yeah, they were on this season, huh?"

#Survivor Heroes vs Villains Rupert, S7: "So much for my dreams" Rupert, S20: "So much for everyone else's dreams!"
#Survivor Heroes vs. Villains: Idols expiring at Final 6 when there was still an F5 AND an F4 vote is wild. Dear Survivor press: Can someone please ask Probst why it was okay to force players to strategize and work the social game for two votes in 2010, but that's unthinkable now?
#Survivor Heroes vs Villains: We all remember Colby yelling at his brother Reid. But what if he'd just paid better attention to the treemail that told him to be optimistic? Really makes you think.
#Survivor Heroes vs. Villains: The first half of the post-merge, immediately following JT's blindside, is less a grand battle between opposing forces, and more a bunch of petty slapping fights (Amanda-Danielle; Russell-Rupert). But at least there's more Sandra. www.truedorktimes.com/s20/recaps/e...
Battle of the blowhards | Jeff Pitman's Survivor 20: Heroes vs. Villains, Episodes 11-12 rewatch recap/ analysis
There's not a lot of elite gameplay going on in Episodes 11-12 of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, which make up the bulk of the post-merge. The Heroes keep losing ground, although Russell pointlessly p...

#Survivor Heroes vs. Villains: Making up for very little of Sandra in the pre-merge by sneaking her into every shot in Episode 12.
#Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains - You mean to tell me they brought in The Dragonz to this Tribal and they weren't allowed to perform? Seems like a waste.
Survivor casting team begins casting today for seasons 53 and 54. Casting is open through January with filming for 53 set to begin mid April. #Survivor Apply here: cbssurvivorcasting.com
#Survivor Heroes vs. Villains - It took a while, but my rewatch has finally made it to the merge, which I am pleased to report is still really, really good. www.truedorktimes.com/s20/recaps/e...

After Boston Rob's blindside in Episode 7, Heroes vs. Villains drags out the pre-merge for a couple more episodes, but that pays off with JT coming up with what the show itself trumpets as 'one of the...

#Survivor Heroes vs. Villains, Ep10: Future Survivor John Cody getting a shoutout on Candice's arm at the merge Tribal.
#Survivor Heroes vs. Villains: I just now realized the post-James boot Heroes tribe is the same story as the Aitu Four: Plucky underdogs, winning their way to a very delayed merge, as people from the other tribe start becoming jurors. Candice got to undo her mutiny! If only JT hadn't screwed it up.
#Survivor Jeff Probst, Sia, and Jimmy Johnson, all in the same class? (Also perennial “celeb Survivor” predicted player Adam Scott.)

#Survivor Heroes vs. Villains, Ep8: Stable genius Russell Hantz, who did this exact challenge a month earlier, looks past the words "challenge," "strike," and "strike" again in the treemail, and is convinced the Villains have made it to the merge.
After watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms so recently, House of the Dragon feels very grim and dour in comparison. Very much the Stannis Baratheon of the Westeros TV shows. (I’m not sure which of the other two is Robert and which is Renly, though.)
#Survivor Heroes vs Villains: Double Tribal in Ep6 solves the problem of the Villains always winning, which allows Russell to idol out Tyson, then the Villains implode. It's exciting, but how much better could it be with longer episodes and a more balanced edit? www.truedorktimes.com/s20/recaps/e...
Villains demolition | Jeff Pitman's Survivor 20: Heroes vs. Villains, Episodes 6-7 rewatch recap/ analysis
As we enter Episode 6, the Heroes vs. Villain competition has been all but a blowout. Since Russell Hantz has an idol, it's time to force both tribes to vote someone out. Result: The complete collapse...

#Survivor Heroes vs. Villains: We all (?) remember Cochran's throne confessional, but I had completely forgotten Parvati's. This is art.

Heroes vs. Villains chugs along a bit in its second and third episodes, with an obvious, simple majority boot from each tribe. But Episodes 4 and 5 offer an action-and-reaction pair of big game moves,...

#Survivor I had forgotten the "Knights of the Round Table" title quote was in reference to a Coach-Russell thing in HvsV. Which means when we were forced to watch Coach knighting Joe and Colby in S50, it was a Hantz reference. 🤮
A mediocre (but uninjured!) Dodgers pitcher gets two innings and allows a homer, but Mason Miller gets one batter? Dave Roberts, White House-attending asshole for life.
CBS rerunning #Survivor50 this summer is ... weird? But not as weird as the sometimes 1, 2, or 3 episodes per week scheduling. I assume this means #Survivor51 starts 9/16 or 9/23: www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2026/07...
#Survivor Heroes vs. Villains: Courtney with the perfect reaction to the news Stephenie was voted out.
#Survivor Heroes vs Villains Ep3 IC, "Sumo'an Mud" - Coach beats Rupert for what appears the Villains' first point, but Probst demands a do-over because Coach only had one hand on his bag. In the do-over, Rupert shoves Coach to the edge then throws the bag at him. No hands on the bag. Point stands.
Literally nobody asked me to, so I’m rewatching #Survivor: Heroes vs Villains and comparing it to Survivor 50 - trying to figure out why HvV went so well by comparison. www.truedorktimes.com/s20/recaps/e...
A large quantity of Survivor - Jeff Pitman's Survivor 20: Heroes vs. Villains, Episode 1 recap/ analysis
With one big milestone season just aired, it's a good time to look back at the one from 16 years ago, and try to figure out why it worked so much better. That's simple: S20 mixed huge characters and p...

#Survivor So I'm rewatching Heroes vs. Villains, and did nobody tell Russell "It's a final three, dumbass."? (He's had like six confessionals in the first third of Ep1 and I'm already sick of him.)
Cubs fans (and Team USA World Cup fans) singing along to John Denver’s “Country Roads” is the surest sign that we’re not going to last another 250 years.
Hurriedly looking up what the payout would be for Kalshi bets that the #Survivor52 cast will not have more than three people older than 36
