Recaps, reviews, and updates about Survivor season 41, which gave birth to Survivor 2.0 after being originally planned for fall of 2020 but delayed to fall 2021 by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Survivor 41 concluded with an incredibly long and padded finale that ended with a winner whose game the jury respected almost unanimously, but the editing didn’t develop that person’s game as well as it could have—just another disappointment in a season full of them.
Some of Survivor 41’s final six players formed new alliances and seemed ready to upset the status quo, but the outcome of the immunity challenge meant two players resigned to voting for each other.
Survivor 41’s diverse cast has brought out the racism in some of its fans. How responsible is the production for the racist and bigoted reactions and comments on social media?
Survivor 41 introduced yet another dumb twist, this time leaving immunity and elimination up to random chance. The highlight of the episode for me, though, was Liana’s Tribal Council speech.
A blindside during Survivor 41 episode 10’s Tribal Council sent another major character and player to the jury, but it wasn’t the blindside that made this episode so great: it was the emphasis on relationships between the players.
Survivor 41 lost two of its biggest, most-interesting characters in two major blindsides, thanks to an episode 9 twist that divided the merged tribe back into two smaller tribes and sent them to Tribal Council separately.
Jeff Probst allowed the players to negotiate with him repeatedly in Survivor 41’s first post-merge episode, including another whisper-fest of a Tribal Council. What can I offer to get those to stop?
