Fantasy Survivor – Episode 12
We’ve reached the finals of this season of Survivor, and (spoiler, but if you were waiting for the end of my season recap to find out the winner, you’re weird) Maryanne took the crown.

Fantasy Survivor – Episode 11
Having satellite TV (I’m the last remaining non-cord-cutter, I think) is good, but man, rain is annoying, especially since Survivor doesn’t drop to streaming until the day after. Long story short, it’s 6:55 a.m. Thursday morning as I write this, which feels like an extremely nerdy way to live your life. Anyway, Wednesday was our penultimate […]

Fantasy Survivor – Episode 10
The Tim Tebow phenomenon in 2011 was interesting for a lot of reasons, but for me, the fun was that he just kept succeeded despite absolutely no justification for that success. He was an objectively bad NFL quarterback who nonetheless won seven of eight starts (before losing the last three of the regular season) and then […]

Sometimes I envy the job of Survivor editors.
