This spring, Doug and I did not miss an evening of Survivor and really enjoyed it. Doug had only recently started watching the reality survival show again, but I have been catching the Wednesday favorite since it first started twenty-five years ago. I haven't loved every season, and I have found a lot of the players extremely unlikeable, but Survivor 48 was fun from the beginning. Both Doug and I were wrong about who would win last night, but overall, we were happy with who the jury chose. Predictability in any reality show makes it boring, and this season was definitely not that.
For me the best part about Survivor lately, has been the podcast immediately following tribal council. I accidentally found it last year and have loved listening to Jeff Probst along with his cohosts including at least one ex-Survivor player give their thoughts on each episode. The insight about the show has been absolutely fascinating, especially how it has evolved over the years. I have been impressed with how involved Probst is in producing the show and the number of friends and family members of the crew that have become a part of the Survivor working family as well, including the host's own niece. Since the podcast has only been in existence for the past four season, a listener suggested that they make podcasts for previous season as well. I have to be honest; I think that I would listen to those shows as well. Either way, I am glad that Survivor has been a staple in the Heinisch family for years and am already looking forward to Season 49 this fall.
