Survivor: Caramoan<\/h2>\n

“Show me your teeth!”<\/em><\/p>\n

I don’t quite know how it came to this but here we are at the final tribal council and there is a contestant badgering Dawn, an elderly Mormon mother of six, to take out her false teeth so she can reveal her insecurities on national television as penance for voting someone off.\u00a0 That’s reality tv I guess.<\/p>\n

It probably wasn’t even the weirdest thing we saw in Season 26 of Survivor<\/em> which was one of the most competitive seasons the show has seen in recent years.\u00a0 The casting agents did a fantastic job this season of finding a solid mix of genuine fans of the show that tried to implement some form of strategy that may have incorporated the styles of past performers (Boston Rob, Russell Hantz) or come up with something entirely new (Cochrane, the most unlikely challenge monster).\u00a0 Even though the final vote was a bit of a blowout, it was a fun show from start to finish and caps off a nice bounce back after the awful Survivor: One World<\/em>.\u00a0 I haven’t been this happy with a winner since Yul Kwan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The season will likely be remembered for Brandon Hantz’ meltdown at his camp and for the toils of Brenda.\u00a0 Brenda basically took on the Biblical role of Job in this season of Survivor<\/em>.\u00a0 She won a Survivor auction only to discover her mystery item was sheep brains.\u00a0 She won a challenge only to be put in a position where she had to give up her prize to keep the tribe happy.\u00a0 Then they voted her off anyway.\u00a0 And then she lost the Fan Favourite vote by 1%.\u00a0 Thats a pretty rough trot!<\/p>\n

The next season of the show teased a Blood vs Water format which suggests some sort of family dynamic.\u00a0 It’s possible that CBS’ sister show The Amazing Race<\/em> might give us an insight into what this might look like:<\/p>\n

We don’t have too long to find out.\u00a0 Season 27 of Survivor<\/em> airs in September.<\/p>\n
