Survivor Season 16 - 2008

The “Fans vs Favorites” format is basically All-Stars with red shirts. The most ruthless bastards of the past few seasons return to face off against, and then use as human shields, superfine who think they are immortal. Hijinks ensue, including a cavalcade of injuries, 2 Medevacs, one quitter, and some of the tastiest blindsides yet. The “Black Widow Brigade” quickly emerged as the alliance with all of the power, and I was ready for a predictable conclusion, but thankfully “Ice Cream Scooper” Erik won a bunch of challenges and then allowed himself to be talked into giving up his immunity necklace, one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. Great stuff all around.
