Survivor on the Row - Season 49, Ep 5: Fried Chicken

  - Survivor on the 'Row-

** Fried Chicken ** by: Andy Canales Texas Death Row October/ 2025 What a mess!! I mean, you gotta laugh, right? But OMGOSH, what a MESS! That was just so crazy, that I am still replaying it in my head! What da EF, man??!! Are you kidding me? Did that just happen? IT DID! I'm talking 'bout the whole damn episode. Okay, let's start with Shannon..LOL!..That chick is delusional? Did ya hear her "plan"? LOL! I fell off my bunk laughing when I heard that one..She is either a great manipulator OR delusional..I'm going with delusional..Follow me on this..The biggest hole in her plan is simply that you will have to eat someone, if not All of the very people you wanna recruit, and the hole is that THEY will eat YOU! As they have already figured out..hahaha! The one that thinks like a shark is SAGE! She is smart, she waited, bided her time, sat quietly, and when the chance came to strike, she didn't hesitate, THAT my fellow Survivors is how you out last, out wit, and out play your enemies, and in the game EVERYONE is your enemy, ya feel me? That Challenge was seriously tough..I'm a big dude and I don't think I could have pulled that off even in my prime..it took ALL of them to pick that mutha up and move it across the beach..WOW! Kila won again, breaking that ugly curse, and rolling, which saved someone for another week..LOL! But Hena...man..that was so messy that I can't understand how these people grew up watching Survivor and acting like this..What is wrong with these fool's? Savannah had THE plan that was the right one..sacrifice your own and lull the OG Hena tribe members into that " let's all get along" mindset and then BOOM! Why not flip the script? I say, AGAIN, the move that was missed by Jawan was rolling with Matt's plan. THAT was diabolical! That move alone would have broken the game all the way open..sigh..and this week he should have been walking out with his torch snuffed out..This is what happens when you don't pull the trigger, cause now he is a loose cannon that will turn at the first chance..watch and see ! Okay, I gotta ask, how many of you saw the big mistake while they chewed that fried chicken? Huh? Did any of you see it? Catch it? huh? Let me tell you what's up..They ate the ROOSTER! Hahahaha! Yes! They got 3 hens that won't be much use without a Rooster ..ya get it now? So, they will be eating bird for the next few days..and yeah, it seems like a win win, but the eggs would have helped a lot more. Did y'all see all that drama over the bird? Come On! You ain't hungry if you can't go and get it..ya heard? They didn't have no problem chewing on that bird..ugh! Listen Survivors, at some point someone will make a move that will cut deep and wound some real feelings and THEN we will have a game..Until then, enjoy the keystone antics and crap game play of people who have yet to display the grit and grind of a SURVIVOR...Someone who can out wit, out play and out last, until then, we are stuck with the PG13 version of Survivor 49.

Survivor on the Row - Season 49, Ep 4: Drop Them!

 - Survivor on the 'Row-

** Drop Them! ** by: Andy Canales Texas Death Row October/ 2025 I gotta ask..Am I the only one that is disappointed? I sat there and was all excited at the THOUGHT of game play and was expecting these people to get serious and PUT IN THAT WORK! But, no...All we did was move the kumbaya down to another beach and hear some shallow lies spoken, which were so damn obvious..LOL! WHAT da???!! Am I being to harsh? I'm sure there are those who are saying.."No Andy! You are not being fair, they are working it out.." OH WHATEVA!! These are people who have grown up with Survivor and KNOW how to play the game..From what I saw it was so tame that it was like trying to chew oatmeal! Come On! There was a moment..a crack for some real moves to be made and Mr.Team, Jawan, nuts up and let's the opportunity to make a real move slip thru his hands! The only one who made an effort was Matt! He is scrambling for a life line and comes up with a plot that was diabolical! A real move that would have set off the whole season into full on chaos, but no..Mr. Team, who by the way KNOWS he is roadkill with his own former tribe, let's it slip, and TELLS them..DUMBASS! So, what we got was a vanilla tribal and no real play to set the game in motion..There is hope tho (smile, keep hope alive, right?) that things will start to flesh out SOON! At least before I fall asleep! Sophi and Chris? Well they are just happy to have another week to play..LOL! I ain't mad at them..but Sophie needs to get in the zone and see the potential of the BLIND SIDE! Chris as well! We shall see.. One last thought..When did an Immunity Idol become a GROUP possession? Huh? Savannah had a chance and so did all the others and what did they do??!!! sigh!!! That boy Rizo is lucky that his tribe is filled with weak players cause anyone else would have kept that idol..and be damned to who it belonged to..It belongs to the one who POSSESSES IT! amen? It a million dollar decision that you let go..Let's see if Rizo knows how to play it.. Until next week Survivors! Peace.. Andy Canales Texas Death Row Livingston, Texas 77351

Survivor on the Row - Season 49, Episode 3: Loveable Loser's

  - Survivor on the 'Row-

** Loveable Loser's ** by: Andy Canales Texas Death Row WOW....How insane was that? The whole episode was just so crazy, and sad! It fit with the insanity of Survivor and how intense it is as they go thru each day, dealing with lack of food, sleep, any kind of comfort, not to mention the elements of the island itself, which are bad in seasons and then to face the loss of a team mate when you desperately need them, to try to get ONE leg on the rung of the ladder that is Survivor....because without ever getting a foot on that ladder you become roadkill, that is forced to eat their own. I've followed Survivor since season ONE, and sure we have all seen some crazy things, but a SNAKE?! A snake! That was hard to watch, as Jake went thru the shock and fear of a horrible situation, where your very life is in danger! For the first time, this "reality" show became REAL...and THAT is what survival is about, isn't it? We face it each day, and its not a joke, because we all live day to day, and one step away from death, and that IS life, doncha agree? Seeing Jakes struggle with fear and the shock of it all, reminded me of where I am, and have lived all my adult life...PRISON! Truth is, its one of the reasons I love this show, because it reminds me of prison and trying to survive each day, as those around you are trying to Out Wit, Out Last, and Out Play you, each day in this madhouse...But, it still was a SHOW! Yet, tonight was a reality check for all of them, as they heard the news and looked at the very waters they would have to dive in to, knowing that the danger is REAL, and the fear of the game is now...REALITY. The best part of this, was how the players began to PLAY! YES!! That is how the GAME is to go, because in reality, that life, that's how you face your day...Survivors Ready, Set, GO! That is survival to the fullest..You can't dwell on the lose, and you can't whine or cry about the hand you been dealt..you HAVE to pick up the flag and MARCH ON! All 3 tribes went to work and within that there were moments of real gameplay..MC and that young dude, Stephen put in work..They made a plan and stuck to it, even adapting to the way the other tribe members chose to work, and you know what..They Came Up! THAT is how ya do it.. for the realz! Now, look at the flip side of that coin...The Uli tribe go all kumbaya searching for the Beware Advantage, and now they all know who has it and THAT is a double edged sword. One that will cut both ways, for the tribe, and the one who waved it around.....dumbass! But the PLAYA of the week, goes to Sophi!! She went to work..after that horror show at the Immunity Challenge, she played the game like your suppose to, am I right? She saw the plan with Jeremiah was a possible bomb, for HER game, she went into stealth mode and good all ninja on it..Whaaaat??!! Don't judge her people! INFORMATION IS POWER! That, boys and girls is Survivor 101, believe that! What really shocked me was this..That they actually went to tribal AFTER Jake was hurt. Every time, that I remember, when a player is injured and removed from the game due to that injury, they cancelled the Tribal for that week, because a player was removed from the game..but not this time..why? Your down to 3 on a Tribe, which sucks, to lose someone like Jake, and y'all throw a monkey wrench in to stir it up?? That's a grimy move, brah! So we are set now..the game is about to go to another level, and we shall see who can Survive the grind of REAL..My praise and best wishes are for the "Lovable Loser's" who just couldn't make over the hill..BUT! The great thing about the game, is that all you wanna do is: SURVIVE, to fight on the next day! Peace, Andy Canales Texas Death Row Livingston, Texas 77351

Survivor on the Row: Season 49, Episode 2 - UNBELIEVABLE!

  -Survivor on the 'Row-

** "UNBELIEVABLE!" ** By: Anibal Canales Texas Death Row October 1st, 2025 Okay, is it me or is the game this season on meth?? What is all this drama so early in the game? Hello!! They do understand that you don't win a million at every tribal, right? Now, normally I wouldn't mind this kind of intensity out the gate...10 seasons ago!! But this is suppose to be a more crafty, smarter player, like last season.. better for sure, but more capable on social play..Yet, not really, huh? Let's unravel that a bit, 'Kay? Here we have these new generational types that are the product of society TODAY, and their level of social interaction, is on full display, wouldn't you say? Look how quick they are to make social blunders, by the way they are so open with each other..THAT is dangerous, when your fighting for survival in a den full of hyenas who are ALL trying to get at the meal..No Bueno! Its put's you on blast! Does that make sense?? All 3 tribes are working and the struggle for Hela is nothing new, amen? LOL! But the way they lost this week..oh man..that was foul! To get smoked by people who are weighed down with 20 pds. of coconuts AND 10 keys, speaks volumes of your level of physical play..or I should say, LACK OF! SAD! But, I like them..they are this seasons plucky contenders and we should wait before we judge so harshly...LOL! Besides they are the only ones who are trying to get an advantage..Hidden Immunity's in play y'all!!! I like that..BUT! To many hands on that cookie jar, wouldn't you agree? Uli and Hina are both still in that haze of "we're winners!" attitude and when they snap outta it, they may find themselves fodder for the hyenas.. All that " We Are The World" feelin' will come crashing down when your fighting for your life each week..THAT is the down side of winning a few challenges outta the gate.. Even the allies your making are not made in adversity, where you find out the level of skin they have in the game, they are bonding with full bellies, and THAT can get you blindsided just as quickly, if not quicker, if you don't snap outta it! Perfect example..Jewan! Are you effin' kidding me dude??!! Seriously?!?! "Tribe" is where your head is at? You had power to play YOUR game, with a tool that you won legit, and you wanna play the Barney role?! DUMBASS!! Again, another one who can't sense danger! I don't know people..it feels like we are gonna get a season of messy, crazy, and foolish game play, which does make for entertaining fun, but if any of these people end up on the roster for the big 50, they will get ate and their bones used as toothpicks! BUT! Maybe I'm being to harsh? Whacha y'all think? huh? Hit us up on the comments and let us know YOUR thoughts..am I wrong? Do I have a good view or am I not seeing what you are? Holla!! With that, I'm gonna bounce with my fave tag line for the season..Jewan rolled one out the gate and it had me laughin'.. "I'm gonna let you rock DAT!" -Jewan Peace Survivors!!
