Survivor: Winners At War Episode 4 Recap: Dead Man Walking

by Tom Santilli on March 5th, 2020

Every single week on Survivor: Winners At War, it feels like a championship heavyweight fight. Well of course it does…this season features nothing but champions, and each week’s vote-out feels like a knock-out punch. As excited as I am to watch this season each and every week to see some of the best-of-the-best play the game head-to-head, there’s a sense of dread that comes in knowing that one of these favorites is going to go home. Taken a step further, NINETEEN of these champions are going to be down for the count when all is said and done at season’s end. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but it’s an exhilarating rush of adrenaline knowing that these contestants are going to leave it all out in the ring.

Continuing the boxing analogy, this week’s episode featured not one but two underdog, come-from-behind miracles that would have made Rocky Balboa proud. It also – if my Survivor-senses are serving me proper – contained a LOT of foreshadowing of what is to come down the stretch as Season 40 heads towards the final bell.

As I do at the beginning of every recap, please heed the following: Remember that this recap assumes that you have already seen this week’s episode of Survivor: Winners at War. If you have not and don’t want to be spoiled, please come back later! It’s important to add that while we WILL hit on all of the important developments of the episode, this is not a linear “blow-by-blow” recap. It is more of a discussion and reaction of what we just witnessed together.

Survivor: Island of the Idols Episode 4 Recap: Blind Faith

by Tom Santilli on October 17th, 2019

Another life lesson from Boston Rob and Sandra, and these players are no better off. Yes, as I was told when I wanted to be a star Major League Baseball player at a young age: You can work hard, you can think harder, and you can out-hustle them all…but God-given “talent” is not something that can be taught, or acquired through hard work. In other words, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. Relating this to this week’s episode of Survivor, Rob and Sandra can try to instill all the knowledge in the world, but the recipient still has to have “that certain something” in order to get it to work for them.

As I do at the beginning of every recap, please heed the following: Remember that this recap assumes that you have already seen this week’s episode of Survivor: Island of the Idols.

Survivor: Edge of Extinction Episode 4 Recap: We Are Family

by Tom Santilli on March 13th, 2019

Luck has always played a large part in the game of Survivor. Still, after one of the craziest tribe swaps in the game’s history, it’s pretty clear that fate has smiled on some players more than others. We’ve seen the same tribe attend the first three Tribal Councils of the season. While there was technically a different tribe there this week, it was still made up of all the same, familiar faces.

As I do at the beginning of every recap, please heed the following. Remember that this recap assumes that you have already seen this week’s Episode 4 of Survivor: Edge of Extinction. If you have not and don’t want to be spoiled, please come back later!

Exclusive – Survivor: Ghost Island’s Brendan Shapiro: ‘I Was Shocked When I Saw How Young Everyone Was’

by Tom Santilli on March 15th, 2018

To win Survivor, there is always an element of luck and chance, but for 41-year-old phys-ed teacher Brendan Shapiro, the odds stacked against him were just too much. His fate was determined ultimately by Michael, who chose incorrectly as to whom he should use his Immunity Idol on.

Survivor: Ghost Island Episode 4 Recap: Trust Your Gut

by Tom Santilli on March 14th, 2018

“Reversing the curse” has been the mantra of Survivor: Ghost Island thus far, and it’s been a more-than-appropriate theme. With the mistakes of Survivor players’ pasts literally hanging over their heads, nobody wants to become “that guy” or “that girl” who is shown royally screwing up in a flashback on a future “Ghost Island” themed season.

But how do players know if their move is a good one while they’re making it? It’s not like epic mistake-makers James Clement or Erik Reichenbach purposely catapulted themselves onto the wrong side of Survivor history. More often than not though – like in the case of James Clement having been voted out of Survivor: China with not one but two Idols in his pocket – contestants come out ahead by playing the game…not nervously sitting pat and letting the game play them. Just as common however, trusting one’s gut is usually a good way to go, as the heart and the head tend to mislead and disappoint when it comes to Survivor.

“Guts” were on display during tonight’s episode, not only with some player’s trusting their instincts, but with a tribe who displayed them during an amazing Immunity Challenge win. But first, as I do at the beginning of every Recap, please heed the following: Remember that this recap assumes that you have already seen this week’s Episode 4 of Survivor: Ghost Island, so if you have not and don’t want to be spoiled, please come back later! It’s important to add too that while we WILL hit on all of the important developments of the episode, this is not a linear “blow-by-blow” recap, and is more of a discussion and reaction of what we just witnessed together.

Exclusive Interview With The Survivor: HHH Contestant Voted Out of Episode 4 – Spoilers!

by Tom Santilli on October 19th, 2017

The tribe swap has become an expected twist early in the game of Survivor, but even though you can see it coming, it inevitably always works out for some and doesn’t work out for others. Some players see their games saved and some ruined, but rarely does the first tribe swap twist result in such a crazy Tribal Council like it did during Episode 4.

Caution, as spoilers from this week’s episode are to follow! Turn back now! If you want to get caught up, be sure to check out the Episode 4 Recap here.
