Jeff Probst introduced the newest Survivor twist with Wednesday night's bLoOd mOoN, and it sure did make the show's fandom go nuts...with rage. Brett & Danielle recap what was essentially a relatively rote (for New Era) Survivor triple-tribal that sent home Kamilla, Genevieve & Colby. Sure, three audience faves went home perhaps a bit too early, but on the other hand, who cares? It's Survivor. They debate fairness vs. bad luck and ask everyone to take a big, Shark Bowl-sized

Brett & Danielle are back to recap the third episode of Survivor 50. Chaos Q? More like Chaos Emily.
