SURVIVOR: MILLENNIALS VS GEN X RECAP – 9/29/16

“Love is in the air, everywhere I look around… Love is in the air, every sight and every sound…

That’s right, folks, love is in the air tonight (is this a John Paul Young/Phil Collins mash-up or what?) and since we’re only 1,600 miles from Australia, I say we break out that dusty VHS of Strictly Ballroom and paso doble our way to the bar to pour another episode of the greatest reality show on television, Survivor! And in case you don’t know how to dance, that’s okay because you’d probably spill your drink!

FYI, tonight’s recap is going to be a bit shorter than last week’s. With the whole premiere episode, and cast assessments, and 90 minutes, last week was always going to be a monster. But this week, we’ve got a “normal” episode, with a regular amount of gameplay and drama, so I’m hoping to not be typing this up at 2am in the morning…

Moving forward, I think I’ll try to have something special for you every other week so there’s a … Continue reading

SURVIVOR: MILLENNIALS VS GEN X RECAP – 9/22/16

“Guess who’s back, back again… Fish is back, tell a friend… Guess who’s back, Guess who’s back, Guess who’s back, Guess who’s back…”

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, your friendly neighborhood Fish is back and ready to recap another season of THE GREATEST SHOW ON TELEVISION. Now, I know some of you may be wondering who the hell I am, so let me give you a little sampling of what I do here on RealitySteve.com…

I follow in the steps of Reality Steve. I consume a show, throw in some snark, mix in a lot of Survivor history, a few 70s/80s/90s references, a couple boob jokes, and mix it all up with some 90 proof alcohol dependency, and you’ve got your basic Fish recap. I do try to keep it light (still, it’s NSFW, and please pardon my political rants on Twitter this election season) and will definitely keep it R-rated. Leave the kiddies at home, or don’t read my recaps on the way to school. We’re here to have fun, and to see just … Continue reading

SURVIVOR: SECOND CHANCE FINALE – 12/16/15

Apologies for the delay in bringing you this column, but it’s been an interesting week.

We made it.

The finale. The final episode of one of the best seasons ever. I know that’s debatable, but I think most everyone agrees this has been one hell of a ride. Cast your thoughts back to April when we were exposed to this wonderful little idea of bringing some of the most popular Survivor players back for a Second Chance. You got to admit, the show did a great job of promoting the concept, the players, and the belief this would be OUR season. The fans. The people who make it all possible.

Yet, the game is not about us, it’s about them: the players. And while many times we’re recognized for being part of the process, I’m just not sure if the players fully grasp that concept. Maybe I’m wrong, but when Tash argued last week that Abi should go home because “we owe it to the fans to not take a goat with us,” that’s the … Continue reading
