Fan Episode Reviews (5)

This episode was complete waste of time Boring.

1.2

By wegie_man, Apr 16, 2010

It was a recap episode with some never before seen footage. When I say "some" never before seen footage I mean 1 or 2 scenes. When this episode was advertised they made it seem like there would be an endless amount of new scenes. For an episode entitled, "A Closer Look" there sure was NO closer look as, like I said before, there were only a few new scenes. This episode was so BORING. Lets make this simple it was the worst episode of the whole season. We don't need no re-cap real fans watch the show. I Would much rather have the whole season played un-interrupted.moreless

What did I miss?

4.1

By Pinkmyst, Apr 16, 2010

Well this would be one episode of Survivor that I thought was a complete waste of time and money.

It was suppose to show a closer look and things that we had not already seen and missed but there was very little of that.

I thought it mostly shows the parts that were used for advertising of the next episode so I had seen them many times before anyway.

I did like hearing the comments of those who had already been voted off.

I also thought this episode was way too early I would have liked it closed to the end as a final recap or something.moreless

We missed you "Closer look!" (no we didn't)

6.3

By ShadowBladeX8, Apr 16, 2010

Ever since I knew that Survivor: Exile Island's gonna have 16 survivors instead of 18 I figured out 3 things:

1. The season is going to be at least 1 episode shorter.

2. No double tribal (which was the best episode of the last three seasons)

3. The return of closer look.

Now, not that it was bad. It wasn't interesting, that's all. I think they could add 2 more survivors instead of not only show this filler episode, but skip one week.

Is this the worst episode of the season? yes, but not because it was bad, it's because it's just a plain filler.moreless

Never Before Seen Footage

7.4

By JPPT1974, Apr 16, 2010

I love the fact that they showed never before seen footage of the show

About scenes that never made it to tv

That is until last night

Maybe the reason that Tina the logging lady went was that she was too independent and tried to do things her own way

She just IMO signed her death warrant over that

Shane, despite being a jerk, shared a tender moment as his crewmates sung Happy Birthday to his now thirteen-year old son Boston

Cire is growing on me and also is this seaon's comic relief

Filler episode, some new scenes

7.1

By ShowsIWatch, Apr 16, 2010

This was just a filler episode for Survivor, but that's better than having no episode at all.

There were some new scenes, although most of them weren't interesting at all.

The only real interesting scene for me was when Bruce wanted to use the drinking water to wash his hands claiming he had some sort of allergy. Kind of stupid to waste drinking water on that, especially when it's raining out at the time.

I also found it ironic Shane is calling others lunatics when it's clear he's the lunatic this season.

Two more weeks and we will have some new Survivor episodes :)moreless
