SURVIVOR: DYNAMIC DUOS 2 Episode 4 Dec 19, 2021
imagePREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: Following the vote, Jenn and Christine knew they were on the outs, also assuming Bret was still with them though he also secretly wanted Malcolm out, and Christine and Crystal confronted each other after the vote. “All I did was look out for you, and you turned your back on us,” Christine said. Crystal said that it was just a game and she just needed to make a move to give her power. “And taking out either Devens or Wentworth would have been a power move too,” Jenn said. Bret tried to refocus Jenn and Christine, knowing they were upset, and told them that there were still bigger threats out there. “I honestly think at this point, Crystal’s target is huge,” Bret said, “So let’s just try and keep our sights on other people who may slip through the cracks because they’re the ones we’ll need to worry about in the long run.”

The next morning, at the Peanut Butter beach, Tony was up bright and early attempting to search for fish for his tribe. “I know that if we lose,” Tony said, “They’ll get rid of me in a heartbeat, so I need to earn back this tribe’s trust.” Tony found fish, and his tribe was very appreciative. Meanwhile, Stacey knew what Tony was doing was all show. “He knows he’s in deep doo-doo and wants to save his skin,” she said. Tony went to Denise to try to patch things up, and Denise said she would look out for him if she heard his name. “At this point,” Denise said, “I do think the higher threats need to stick together, and as long as Tony’s around, he’s always a bigger threat than me. People like Kenny, Stacey, Hali, and Lauren are going to slip through the cracks, and those are the people I have to keep an eye on.” Meanwhile, Lauren was nervous that Kelley was going to be booted and David consoled her. “If they voted her out,” David said, “Just know that there was a reason, and let that give you the fighting chance to keep going. I’d do the same if Devens was sent out.”

At the immunity challenge, however, Lauren learned that Kelley was still there, and got emotional. Denise, however, was shocked that Malcolm was gone. “Of course I’d like answers,” Denise said, “But it’s a game, and I’m sure they have a reason.” The challenge required 5 contestants to weight to 4 players (2 women, 2 men) progressively until all four dropped. Last person standing would win it for their team. For Peanut Butter, Stacey and Denise held the weight for the women, while Tony and Dom held it for the men. For Jelly tribe, Crystal and Christine held it for the women while Wendell and Rick held for the men. As the weight got progressively heavier, all four Jelly members felt the burn a bit. Christine was out first, followed by Crystal. Next was Wendell, leaving only Rick to take on the four Peanut Butter members. Denise was next out, followed by Dom. This left Tony and Stacey vs. Rick Devens. Stacey dropped, leaving Tony and Rick. Tony knew this was his chance to earn the respect from his team. Rick dropped, giving PB the win. Rick was applauded by his team.

Back at camp, the team congratulated Rick for his hard effort. Jenn saw this and didn’t like how much praise Rick was getting. “I think people forget how tight Devens and Kelley are with Lauren and David on the other side, PLUS Devens and Kelley are together on this tribe as is,” she said, “I just don’t think we can keep around a pair so threatening.” Jenn talked to Bret and Christine, who agreed. “We’ll need to get two more votes,” Christine said, but Bret figured that if they could just get one more vote, all he needed to do was get the other side to split votes and they could send home Devens. “I agree that Devens is a huge threat, and while he’s a tribe asset, he’s already becoming a favorite to win.”

Meanwhile, the alliance of Kelley, Devens, Sarah, and Wendell set their sights on Christine. “She is smart and she can bite us back when we least expect it,” Sarah said. They assumed they would be able to use Ricard and Crystal as the swing votes, putting votes on Jenn in case of an idol play. “The guys will vote for Jenn, the women Christine,” Wendell proposed. However, Bret wanted to work on Ricard. “We’re both gay dudes who really don’t want to see these huge power players run away with the game,” Bret said. “If we can split up Kelley and Devens now, we can run this thing the four of us,” he told Ricard. Ricard was once again in the swing position, and said “I know that both sides pose threats for different reasons, but am I particularly scared of Christine or Jenn? Not really. I am terrified of Rick Devens after seeing his season.”

At tribal council, Christine said that she was definitely worried she wouldn’t have the votes to stay. Jenn was also nervous, knowing that Malcolm was a huge threat and if they kept picking off big threats, they’d end up losing more challenges. Devens was excited because he knew that he had proved his worth to his tribe. “I know it makes me a bigger threat, but it also shows that the team can count on me,” he said, “And I hope that counts for something.” After the vote, Bret crossed his fingers hoping that Ricard would vote with them. The first few votes came in, with Crystal, Sarah, and Wentworth voting for Christine and Devens and Wendell voting for Jenn. The next three votes from Jenn, Bret, and Christine went to Devens, much to Devens’ surprise. The last vote was Ricard’s, and while his previous alliance had expected him to stick to the plan and vote for Jenn, he voted for Rick Devens, sending him packing and ending his journey short. “Well done everyone,” Rick said, “And much respect to you all.” Wendell and Sarah knew they were in danger, and Wentworth was impressed knowing that this season was already off to a very cutthroat start.

SURVIVOR: DYNAMIC DUOS 2 Episode 3 Dec 18, 2021
imagePREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: Following the vote of Chris’ elimination, David knew he had to explain himself to Tony and Dom. “These are two very menacing guys that I need to still have my trust,” David said, and he apologized saying that the girls all threatened to vote him out if he didn’t vote with them. “I hope you understand that now we’re desperate and we hope you and even Lauren are willing to work with us,” Tony said. Tony knew that he needed to keep his threat level low and would only scheme if the time arose.

The next morning, Malcolm was providing for his tribe well. Sarah recognized this and told Wendell that Malcolm was dangerous. “I honestly think the fact that he hasn’t won makes him more dangerous than either of us,” Wendell said. “I know that Kelley and Devens will be looked at as a pair to separate, but I think the four of us could do lots of damage if we band together.” Wendell approached Wentworth and Devens and told them that Malcolm was way too dangerous. Wentworth was glad that she was in the loop but also knew that losing Malcolm so early could be detrimental to her tribe. Meanwhile, Crystal was struggling to adjust to the new environment. “It’s been so long since I played,” Crystal said, “And this reminds me why it was so tough.” Christine tried to console her and say that she just had to take it day by day. “On my season,” Christine said, “I woke up every morning knowing it could be my last, but I still made the best of it and stayed optimistic.” The two hugged it out, and Crystal vowed to give it her all.

At the Peanut Butter beach, Shan knew that she got votes and wanted to try and protect herself best she could. She had Hali follow her to the woods and guard her while she searched for an idol, and luckily enough, she found it. “This is a huge life saver and could really change my game for the better,” she said. At the Jelly beach, it was Jenn who decided to go on an idol hunt and ended up finding it as well, and shared it with her alliance of Crystal, Bret, and Christine. “With this idol, we’re unstoppable baby,” Jenn said.

At the immunity challenge, Bret saw that Chris was gone and was upset, but knew that this would just fuel his game going forward. The tribes had to compete in a long dash through the jungle, collecting clues to solve a special puzzle at the end. Knowing this was a mostly knowledge based game, Kenny told his tribe to keep it slow and take there time really reading the clues before going to solve the word puzzle. Meanwhile, the Jelly tribe came out the gate fast, getting to the final puzzle mat quickly, but unfortunately nobody could figure out the final puzzle. Kenny, luckily, breezed through the puzzle and Peanut Butter won immunity. Ecstatic, the Peanut Butter tribe lifted Kenny on their shoulders.

Back at camp, Malcolm gathered his alliance and said that they should try and separate Devens and Wentworth. “Knowing Jenn has an idol, I don’t even think we need to split the vote,” Malcolm said. Bret, however, felt that Malcolm was really overplaying. “He’s trying to run the vote, and he’s the most threatening person out here,” Bret said. Wendell and Sarah tried approaching Wentworth and Devens with the plan to get out Malcolm. “If we let him take off, we won’t be able to stop him,” Wendell said. “My only thing is that he seems like he has the numbers and I don’t think we’ll be able to outnumber him,” Devens said. However, in a conversation with Bret, Devens realized that Bret was wavering. “If the five of us vote, we can force a tie,” Devens said, “All we need is one more vote to tip the scale.”

Bret approached Christine and Crystal about making a big move and going for Malcolm. “I won’t do it,” Christine said, but Crystal immediately said “I need to make a power move, and this could be it.” Christine was annoyed. “It almost seems like my advice went right to her head,” Christine said, and decided to tell Malcolm that Crystal was now thinking of voting him out. Malcolm was stressed, seeing that Crystal flipped and told Jenn, Christine, and Bret to vote out Crystal. “She also has Kenny on the other side, and judging by his challenge performance, I think he may need to also get knocked down a peg,” Jenn said. Bret couldn’t believe it. “I was the one who brought the idea to Crystal and Christine, but somehow only Crystal is the public enemy #1 and my name hasn’t come up at all,” he said, laughing. “And honestly, I’d like to keep it that way.”

Malcolm knew he had to approach a few more people to get the numbers. Malcolm approached Ricard to pitch an alliance to him. “Crystal is trying to get me out, I’d like for you to join us and help take her out,” he told Ricard. Ricard however knew that taking out Malcolm was a much bigger move in the long term than getting rid of Crystal. “It’s really a matter of whether or not to get out the better player now or keep him around for challenge strength, knowing that he could mop the floor with all of us later,” Ricard said in confessional. Malcolm made his way to Wendell and Sarah and said, “Listen, I know we don’t talk a lot of game, but I’d love to band together and get out Crystal. She’s throwing my name around and she’s duo’ed with Kenny on the other tribe, who is clearly dominating these puzzles,” he told them. Wendell and Sarah laughed privately, knowing that Malcolm was really paranoid and they had the ability to send him home. “I honestly wonder if it’s better to keep the paranoid Malcolm around since it’s clearly a great shield for us,” Sarah said, “but I don’t want to make the million dollar mistake of keeping him around one more week.”

At tribal, Malcolm said that he felt like everything was okay until he heard his name thrown around. “It’s terrifying,” Malcolm said. “My only hope,” he said, “is that I put my faith in the right people.” Crystal said that she was ready to step her game up. “Today was a rough day, and Christine consoled me,” she said, before Christine interrupted her saying “You then betrayed my trust by turning your back on the alliance.” The two bickered, with Wendell laughing saying “I had no idea about any alliance, so this is enlightening.” After the vote, Jenn considered playing her idol, but ultimately decided to hold onto it, hoping they had the votes to keep Malcolm. The first three votes from Christine, Malcolm, and Jenn went to Crystal, with Wendell, Sarah, Wentworth, and Devens voting for Malcolm. Next was Bret’s vote, who voted for Crystal to save face with people like Jenn and Christine, while Crystal threw a vote toward Christine in a bit of sourness. Lastly was Ricard, who made the decision to vote out Malcolm, taking a shot he knew he might not be able to take again. Malcolm went out in a 5–4-1 vote, sending him home in another devastating blindside. Bret was happy that his wishes came true, and he didn’t get any blood on his hands doing it since Ricard did the dirty work for him.

SURVIVOR: DYNAMIC DUOS 2 Episode 2 Dec 17, 2021
imagePREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: The duos all set out for their return to the adventure that is Survivor. Shan and Ricard wanted to put Shan’s blindside behind them, and hope to work together as successfully as they had on their tribe in Survivor 41. Chris and Bret were looking to put the skills they attained from the Amazing Race and use them for good. Ken and Crystal were looking forward to returning to a game they had waited so long to play again. As for the winners, Tony, Sarah, Denise, and Wendell were all nervous that they’d be threats out the gate and hoped that they would have other shields to hide behind, as did big threats like Malcolm, Wentworth, and Dom. At the opening beach, the duos were in for the first twist of the season…they would be SPLIT up on two opposing tribes. “I saw this coming,” Denise said, “It was only a matter of time. Malcolm and I have been split up before, we can survive it again.” Jenn was annoyed to be splitting from Hali, knowing that playing with Hali was one of the few reasons for enticing her to play again. Tony was also a bit nervous, saying “I know I’m the biggest threat here, and not having Sarah with me exposes me even more.” The tribes were split according to one of the greatest duos of all time: Peanut Butter and Jelly.

The tribes got to their beaches, and immediately on the Peanut Butter tribe, Tony tried making bonds with some of the more threatening players. “I want to go to Denise, to Domenick, to Shan,” he said, “All these people that were seen as huge threats when they played.” Tony rounded up the group of Dom, Denise, Shan, and also brought in Hali and Ken. “I think this is a strong unit,” Tony said “we have the physical strength, the social strength, and some secret weapons for puzzles.” Hali was worried that Tony was already hitting the ground running. “He’s reverting back to his Game Changers self, and that clearly didn’t work well for him,” Hali said. Hali pulled aside Shan and Denise and asked if they wanted to do an all-girls thing. Shan liked the idea, and wanted to pull in Lauren and Stacey. Lauren said that she also had David since they played together on Edge of Extinction. “As soon as she said that,” Denise said, “I got a bit concerned because I know how powerful these duos already are, and we have 2 duos from Edge of Extinction, so David and Lauren could essentially be their own mini duo here.”

At the Jelly beach, Wentworth connected with Rick Devens. “I think it’s obvious we should look out for each other,” Devens said. Wentworth agreed. The big threats, however, didn’t all mesh. “Sarah scares me,” Malcolm says, “So I’d like to see her go early.” Malcolm recruited Crystal, Bret, Jenn, and Christine. “I went out early in Game Changers, and I think all of our chances were cut short way too early,” Malcolm said, “I’d like this group to take off some of these big gods like Wendell or Sarah or even Ricard who just played.” The girls seemed on board, but Bret was a bit nervous only because Malcolm was just as threatening as the players he mentioned. “He’s telling me not to trust these huge threats when he could likely beat any of us in a jury vote,” Bret said.

At the immunity challenge, the tribes had to untie a series of rope knots while climbing a difficult obstacle. Once through the obstacle, they had to put together a difficult slide puzzle. Immediately, David and Ken took their places at the puzzle for PB, while Christine and Ricard went to the puzzle for Jelly. The Jelly tribe immediately took off with a strong lead, with Wendell and Malcolm leading the way, while the PB tribe was slow out the gate because of Stacey and Lauren. Eventually, the Jelly tribe got to the puzzle first and Ricard and Christine immediately started working. Once PB got to the puzzle stage, it was already a huge lead to catch up on, but David and Ken tried their best. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough and Jelly won immunity.

Back at camp, the tribe reassured David and Ken it wasn’t their fault. Lauren knew that she might be in trouble for being a liability, and immediately went to the girls to make sure they were okay. “I think all the girls are okay as long as we vote together and pull in David,” Shantel said. Shantel knew that taking control could make her dangerous early on, so she wanted someone else to come up with the target. “Any ideas?” Shantel asked, trying to get someone else to make the move. “The way I look at it,” Hali said, “I think keeping the bigger threats around like Tony, Dom, and David.” Lauren said “That only leaves Kenny and Chris, and I personally don’t want to go after Kenny since I think we’ll need him for puzzles.” “Then it’s Chris,” Shantel said. The girls had to find a way to pitch Chris as the boot without giving away their women’s alliance. Knowing they were in the threats alliance, Shan, Denise, and Hali went to pitch the Chris boot to Tony, Dom, and Kenny. Dom didn’t like the idea of going for Chris this early, but Shantel tried to explain that Chris wasn’t going to be any help with puzzles and they didn’t know where he stood. “I think splitting up Lauren and David should be the first priority,” Dom said.
Immediately, Shantel was worried that Dom was throwing out both her allies names. “David and Lauren are people I likely want to work with more in the long-term than Dom or Tony,” she said, “But I have to stick with this plan to keep members of both these alliances safe.”

Dom talked to Tony, asking why the girls were so gung-ho about getting rid of Chris. “I think they have an all girls alliance,” Dom said. Tony was nervous, and went to Kenny and Chris saying that they think the girls were doing an all girls alliance. “I think we should try to get all the guys together and maybe pull in Denise to blindside one of the women,” Tony said. Tony told Chris that he was being targeted by some of the women, and Chris was immediately paranoid. “I hope it’s not me,” Chris said, “Because I have so much fight left.” The men all met up to discuss the plan, but David knew that he wasn’t going to betray the women. “I know that Lauren wants me to work with the girls, but I do worry that being the only guy in the girls alliance could be dangerous for me,” David said. “We have to get one of the girls to flip,” Dom said, “David, do you think you could get Lauren to vote for Shan?” David said he’d try his best. Tony also took it into his own hands to try and ask Denise to flip and vote for Shan. “She’s already trying to run things, and it scares me,” Tony said. Denise said she had to think about her best move. David and Lauren talked to discuss the plan. “The girls want Chris, and now the guys have an inkling of the girls alliance and want to get out Shan,” David told Lauren, “So it’s up to us whether we want to join the guys or the girls.”

At tribal council, David said that this first stage was always tricky. “Especially for me and Lauren, there is an obvious connection there from Edge of Extinction,” David said, “but the same can be said for Tony and Denise or even Chris and I who played Millennials vs. Gen X together” so I hope that this is a clean slate and the people being targeted are the ones who will most benefit the tribe if they’re voted out. Shan said it was tough because she didn’t know where she fell on people’s threat levels. “Let me lay it out for you,” Tony said, “The girls came together to get out one of the strong guys, and the guys caught on, and now we’re fighting for swing votes.” When asked whose votes were up in the air, Dom chimed in saying “I believe Lauren and David are in the middle because they are tight and I believe everyone is fighting over them.” Shan tried to explain that there was no girls alliance, and Chris chimed in saying “I’ve heard things, and I really don’t believe you Shantel.”

The vote came in, and Shantel, Stacey, and Hali voted for Chris as planned, while Tony, Kenny, Chris, and Dom voted for Shan. The next vote from Denise went for Chris with an “I’m sorry” next to it, showing her loyalty to the girls. It came down to Lauren and David, and both decided to vote out Chris, sending Chris packing and making him the first boot of Survivor: Dynamic Duos 2, with David wanting to keep the bigger threats around. The girls were happy that the plan worked, but Shantel was nervous knowing that people were already targeting her.

SURVIVOR: DYNAMIC DUOS 2 Cast Announcement Dec 15, 2021
imageHere is the cast announcement for our newest season, SURVIVOR: DYNAMIC DUOS 2. We got lots of great suggestions and crafted a cast that seems like it’ll be pretty fun (and not all the names that may come to mind since we did do a Dynamic Duos season before with some of the more notable pairs like Tina & Colby, JT & Stephen, Rob & Amber, etc.)

The first duo comes all the way from the season of Gabon way back in the 17th season, and that is the underdog duo of KENNY and CRYSTAL.

The next duo is actually the most recent duo on this list, showing lots of dominant gameplay in the pre-merge of Survivor 41, but ultimately culminating in an epic blindside, it’s SHAN and RICARD.

When we think of pairs, some of our minds go to The Amazing Race, and we thought it would be fun to bring back a pair that was on both Survivor and the Amazing Race, from Millennials vs. Gen X it’s BRET and CHRIS.

The next pair didn’t make it super far into the game, but they did show lots of prowess, with the third in their trio returning on multiple seasons. From the No Collar tribe of Worlds Apart, it’s HALI and JENN.

Next is one of the more iconic duos of the bunch, the duo that not only ran their season, but resulted in the first ever tie vote at final tribal, from Ghost Island, it’s DOM and WENDELL.

Another iconic duo that this season wouldn’t be complete without comes from two players who have made a big mark on Survivor history, it’s DENISE and MALCOLM.

Next is an unlikely pair of returnees, but we saw something in their short time together on South Pacific, we just had to give them a shot…it’s CHRISTINE and STACEY.

We loved Edge of Extinction’s cast, and there were actually two duos that stood out to us. The first being the dynamic duo of DAVID and RICK DEVENS.

The next duo from that season being LAUREN and WENTWORTH.

Speaking of seasons with great duos, Winners at War of course supplied some of the most iconic duos ever, but none was quite as epic as the three-season in the making Cops R Us alliance….that’s right, we’ve got LACINA and TONY.

Once again, here are your tribes for the season, named after one of the greatest pairings ever: PB & J.

TRIBES:

PEANUT BUTTER TRIBE

Shantel Smith (41)
Chris Hammons (Millennials vs. Gen X)
Denise Stapley (Philippines, Winners at War)
Ken Hoang (Gabon)
Stacey Powell (South Pacific)
David Wright (Millennials vs. Gen X, Edge of Extinction)
Hali Ford (Worlds Apart, Game Changers)
Domenick Abbate (Ghost Island)
Lauren O’Connell (Edge of Extinction)
Tony Vlachos (Cagayan, Game Changers, Winners at War)

JELLY TRIBE

Kelley Wentworth (San Juan del Sur, Cambodia, Edge of Extinction)
Wendell Holland (Ghost Island, Winners at War)
Christine Shields-Markoski (South Pacific)
Rick Devens (Edge of Extinction)
Crystal Cox (Gabon)
Bret LaBelle (Millennials vs. Gen X)
Jenn Brown (Worlds Apart)
Ricard Foyé (41)
Sarah Lacina (Cagayan, Game Changers, Winners at War)
Malcolm Freberg (Philippines, Caramoan, Game Changers)

SURVIVOR: REALITY SHOWDOWN Finale Part 4 (Reunion Show) Dec 14, 2021
imagePREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: The jury got to address Tiffany, Danielle, and Derek. Lauren started, commending all three on a good game and asked Tiffany whose idea it was to get her out. “As much as I do think all decisions were mutual to some extent,” Tiffany said, “It was my move. It was never meant to embarrass you, but rather to get out somebody who was a threat and could beat us all.” James was next and asked Derek why he trusted Danielle and Tiffany so blindly when the clearly had a different agenda. “I’m someone who plays primarily with my heart,” Derek said, “and I just knew that I’d rather get screwed over by Tiffany again than send her or Danielle packing and play with regrets.” James then asked Danielle if she thought she outplayed Tiffany, to which Danielle responded “I think I played a much less backstabby game, which is what I wanted to do. I didn’t want to play as a villain, and I do think I played heroically.” Jamal said that he was going to honor what was most important to him and that was physical game and asked Danielle if she purposely threw challenges. Danielle responded, “I never threw challenges, but I also never felt like I needed the win which is why I didn’t waste all my stamina trying so hard.” Jamal shook his head in what seemed like annoyance. Jeremy was next and commended Derek on doing what he couldn’t, “lasting farthest in most challenges.” He then asked Tiffany if the jury should prioritize social, strategic, or physical game play when casting their vote. “I think socially, Danielle pissed the least amount of people off. It’s clear that Derek played the best physical game. And I do believe I ran the strategy of most votes, so vote in your heart the way you best feel, I can’t tell the jury which to prioritize because all three are important,” she said. Jeremy then asked Danielle the same, and Danielle said “I think the winner shouldn’t necessarily be the best in one thing, but equally good at all three, and she felt that she was never the worst in challenges, never the worst strategically, and never the worst socially.” Claire was next and asked Tiffany if she intended to betray her, and Tiffany said “It’s all game Claire, and I respect you enough to know that if you did the same to me, I’d respect it.” Janet was next and said that she was proud of all three finalists and asked Danielle if Derek had lost the final immunity if they would’ve gotten him out. “Realistically,” Danielle said, “probably not, only because Tiff and I knew that going up against anyone who wasn’t Big Brother was sealing our fate. SO as soon as Tyler left, we knew the three we needed in the end.” Hung was next and asked Derek if she thought he brought anything strategically to the season, and Derek responded saying his big move was getting rid of James. “James played a similar game to me,” Derek said, “So I knew he’d dominate in the end if given the longevity.” Tyler was next and pleaded the jury to vote for the best player, and not vote bitterly, and thanked all three contestants for the journey. Michele was last and asked Derek why he didn’t take the shot at Tiffany and Derek responded saying “If I took out Tiff, you would’ve beaten me, and I just felt like I would have a better fighting chance against more equal competition.”

In the end, the voting turned out like this:

Lauren- Tiffany
James- Tiffany
Jamal- Derek
Jeremy- Danielle
Claire- Tiffany

Hung- Derek

NEXT SEASON PREVIEW: We’ve seen so many amazing duos in the history of Survivor, and we even did a whole season of them way back when in which JT came out on top, beating duos like Rob & Amber, Tina & Colby, and even Amanda & Parv. But a lot of new duos have emerged since we last did that season. Some resulting in the ultimate betrayal, some ending with a heartbreaking blindside, and some ending with the first ever tie in the history of Survivor. So we figured we’d give it another try. It’s SURVIVOR: DYNAMIC DUOS 2. Comment or DM for what duos YOU want to see on the season.
