Returning to camp after Cole’s exit, Joe is annoyed at Mike for misplaying the idol, and the two healers remain on the bottom. Mike claims that he wanted Cole to go home so […]

One of these issues, from my perspective, is the historic […]

Welcome back! It took us four whole episodes but we’ve finally gotten to a twist that makes the bitter old lady in me come out and wave my cane at the producers for shooting their own show in the foot with their new-fangled advantages that frankly need to get off my lawn. But more on […]
