Episode 11: More than a game, then less of a game

Survivor 41 Recap/ analysis

By Jeff Pitman | Published: December 4, 2021

Survivor 41's Jekyll-and-Hyde season continues, producing an episode with both astonishingly heartfelt discussion of the burdens imposed by race in social situations, and an ill-advised twist that ignored everyone's social connections and (thankfully) failed to override the whole "tribe has spoken" deal. Once again: Just let the contestants play.

By Ryan Kaiser | Published: December 3, 2021
