HBO is developing a show with 12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen according to Deadline. It’s described as “Six Degrees of Separation meets Shame” and hopes to get the pilot filmed before McQueen begins his next movie.
In unsurprising news, TV’s most-watched program The Walking Dead has been renewed for a fifth season.

American Horror Story: Murder House alum, Morris Chestnut has joined the cast of TNT’s spy pilot Legends.
Oh, how embarrassing. Maybe The View‘s producers should check if a guest’s reputation survived an appearance on The Daily Show before calling them an expert.

Survivor Review, Season 26, Episode 12
“The Beginning of the End”
Airs Wednesdays at 8pm (Et) on CBS
In the very first episode of Survivor: Caramoan, Andrea faced serious danger by playing way too hard. She went after Francesca and received four votes from the minority group. The favorites’ dominance kept her off the radar for a while, but she’s survived a few close calls. Andrea’s chosen a risky game all season, and she faces the music this week. Once the other favorites learn that she’s targeting Brenda, they turn the tables and blindside her in the episode’s second Tribal Council. When Reynold falls off the perch in the first immunity challenge, his fate is sealed. He exits gracefully, and Eddie seems like the obvious next target. Like the departing Malcolm last week, it’s Andrea’s attempts to make a move that doom her fate. Her...

God, I love people who call out reprehensible social behavior. They're my catnip. At the end of Wednesday night's Survivor, my girl Denise officially ascended to sainthood when she read the increasingly ridiculous Abi-Maria like The Well-Tempered Clavier and called out her nonsense, note for note. It was heaven -- which I feel sort of bad about, because although Abi-Maria is one of the great earsores in Survivor history, she's also so helpless that her idiocy should be lamented more than lambasted. Still, Denise is the Mother Cabrini of Kickassitude, and to her I say, "All hail."
And here are five other issues that mattered from last night's episode, which should really be titled, "Sobby Abi is So Sawwy."
1. Abi's version of "conversation" is always a treat.
I can't say I'm a true converted fan of Lisa Whelchel's because she ends too many of her confessionals with, "You know,...

The third time was not the charm for Benjamin “Coach” Wade on Survivor: South Pacific. An outcast at the start of the game, he socially and strategically worked his way into an alliance of five that took him all the way to the end. But once he got there, the jurors resented all the “honor and integrity” talk from a man who ended up deceiving them. Coach is clearly shaken by his loss, as I discovered when he called in to chat about what went wrong at the end.
Entertainment Weekly: I thought you had it, man.
Coach: So did I.

It may have been the Coach and Ozzy show (with a side order of Cochran) for much of Survivor: South Pacific, but in the end, it was the medical student who took home the million dollars and the title of Sole Survivor. Sophie Clarke won challenges when she needed to — including the decisive last one against Ozzy — and handled the bitter jury better than Coach or Albert, leading her to victory and a celebratory chat with yours truly. Sophie called in to discuss how she won (a certain emotional breakdown at Tribal Council certainly didn’t hurt), and don...

Brandon Hantz was the last "Survivor: South Pacific" castaway eliminated before the Final Five. He tells Zap2it he enjoyed his time on the show and why he voted for Sophie.
Are you glad you did "Survivor," was it everything you hoped it would be?
"Yeah, man. I really enjoyed my experience being on this season. It was more than what I thought it was going to be. It'd definitely been cool, everyone's been real great. I made a lot of good friends. It's just awesome to be a part of the 'Survivor' family now."
During the last tribal council, you looked so shocked when Sophie revealed Coach found the Idol before you thought he did. How did that make you feel?
"I'm so used to it now, having that disappointment. I'm ready now for somebody to jump out and say, 'I stabbed you in the back.'...

Totem poles were embraced. Houses of cards were erected. Puzzles were solved. Tears were shed. Hugs were rejected. Pigtails were sported (by Ozzy!). And shirtless Tai Chi was practiced on the beach. (Nope, Coach didn’t spare us the horror.) But in the end, only one player walked away with a cool $1 million at the end of Survivor: South Pacific. Here’s how the finale played out:

The run of bitter Savaii "Survivor: South Pacific" exit interviews is finally over. After a month of speaking to castaways still grumbling about John Cochran and his game-changing flip-flop, it's finally time to change gears and talk to the members of the now-cannibalizing (not literally, but in a voting sense) Upolu tribe. Up first is Edna Ma, the 35-year-old anesthesiologist who found herself in sixth place on the Upolu totem pole and was voted out two weeks ago. On this week's episode, the diminutive Edna faced off against Ozzy in a Redemption Island Duel built around the completion of...

If you missed last week's episode, you know what to do (click here!).
This penultimate episode of this twenty-third season of Survivor opens on Night 32 with Te Tuna returning to camp. The Final Five relish the fact that they have stayed true to each other since the first day. Of course, Brandon wants to pray, and of course, Coach knows that the real game begins now. Albert and Sophie contemplate who to vote out if Ozzy comes back. They toss around Rick and Brandon's names, but then Albert confesses to the camera that although she doesn't know it, Sophie is the next to go.

After weeks of boredom as the final five contestants slowly eliminated their contestant, despite attempts by producers to try and convince viewers something interesting might happen each week, it was finally time to turn on their own in the penultimate installment of "Survivor: South Pacific" (Wed., 8Pm Et on CBS). The result was one of the most interesting episodes of the season since Cochran first betrayed his own tribe.
!!Spoiler Alert!!
Edna gave it a good effort, and like Cochran before her she nearly beat Ozzy, but it's looking nigh inevitable he'll return, and with no allies. All of the spectators were trying to help Edna beat him as none of them want to face him in the finals. Ozzy hasn't played the best social game to this point, but the final five have played such terrible social games to the existing members of the jury, it might mot matter...

Ladies and gentleman, we have ourselves a villain. Survivor: South Pacific has seen a lot of crazy, betrayal and resentment, but no real Russell Hantz-style rascal. Until tonight. Gather round as we tell this scary campfire story… In Xanadu Did Kubla Khan: As much as we love his bons mots, it was so unfair of Albert—the villain of tonight's tale—to shout directions to Edna during the duel, giving her a clear advantage over Ozzy. Fortunately for CBS' ratings, the Ozsome winning streak continued, and he returned to what Sophie calls Ozzy's Pleasure Dome, feeding and comforting each jury member after they've been voted out.

"Survivor: South Pacific" goes completely off the rails tonight. I don't even know, y'all. Strap in, this is a long recap.
Te Tuna
The final five are quite congratulatory and Coach is going on about "honor and integrity," then Brandon rounds up a group prayer. But then - it's game on. Albert is targeting Sophie in a big way.
In the morning, Albert lays out Sophie's resume and says how dangerous she is as a person to be sitting with at the end. I totally get him. If I were Albert, I'd want to be sitting with Brandon and Rick. Brandon's insane and Rick hasn't done anything, that's money in the bank and Albert knows it.
Redemption Island
It's Ozzy vs. Edna, which would seem like a very uneven match-up, but it's two puzzles split up by a hatchet chop. So Edna has a chance. Ozzy gets his hatchet...

Brandon Hantz got voted off Survivor 23 in episode 13 tonight after giving away immunity. Tonight's episode kicked off with scenes from last week's episode when Edna got the boot to Redemption Island. Then they showed more commentary footage,and Sophia's name came up for elimination. After the break, they showed more commentary footage. Albert revealed he was worried about taking Sophia to the end because she's got a pretty good resume built up,now. Next ,they showed Ozzy and Edna's duel at Redemption Island. The duel was a 2-part, puzzle maze. Edna gave Ozzy another run for his money, but it was not enough as Ozzy took home the win,again, to stay alive,and Edna took a hike. After the break,they showed more commentary footage. Albert kept bringing Sophie's name up for elimination,while Sophie wanted to get rid of Brandon. Coach got upset with Brandon about butting into his conversations.

Some thoughts about what's on tonight, starting with the reality contests. Was CBS' Survivor just teasing us with that trailer that showed Edna the Meek possibly upsetting Ozzy the Cocky in the next Redemption Island challenge? We'll believe it when we see it, but it would be nice for something unexpected to happen. The final Upolu 5 have stayed boringly, rigidly loyal to their game plan the last few weeks, but now that it's down to the next-to-last episode (8/7c) — the finale airs as the usual multi-hour extravaganza on Sunday — all bets presumably are off. Could anything keep Coach from making the finals? And if Ozzy somehow is bounced as well, that would make the climactic tribal council more interesting — which isn't the same as memorable.

Okay, maybe not the best episode ever, but the best episode this season? Oh, absolutely. A nail-biter of a duel, a fantastic reward, a mighty big promise between two opponents and one heck of a tribal council later... I'm feeling quite confident in saying that this is the best hour of "South Pacific" we've seen so far, and likely the best we'll see all season. Highlights below.
» The long awaited battle of NuCochran versus Ozzy on Redemption Island did not disappoint in the drama department. What should have been an absolute blowout turned into a total nail-biter as Ozzy closed in on victory, squandered his chance, left the door wide open for Cochran who came this close to winning only to squander his chance, catch back up to Ozzy again, and lose by a matter of milliseconds. What a rush! Plus, it was genuinely sad to see Cochran go.

If you missed the "everybody saw it coming, except for Cochran, who should have drawn rocks instead of flipping on Savaii" vote last week, catch up with my recap here.
The episode begins at Redemption Island on Night 30. Cochran rues the fact that he may have been played by Upolu. Ozzy says the way to get back at them is to vote for him (Ozzy) in the Final Tribal Council. But what if Cochran can beat him in a Duel? "He doesn't stand a chance," is Ozzy's quick rejoinder.
The next morning at Te Tuna, Rick toasts his socks. Brandon wants to say a morning prayer, but Edna excuses herself as she's "not really part of the tribe." She feels duped by her tribe, like she's a second class citizen. She continues her rant to Coach, but she's interrupted by Brandon bringing...

In the TV Fanatic offices, we share Brandon’s open door policy. With that in mind, I feel it is my obligation, as a Christian man, to be straight with you about this week’s episode of Survivor, "Ticking Time Bomb."
It stunk.
Disappointingly, I don’t think it is going to get any better next week, either. If what seems to be the core trio of Coach, Albert and Sophie were not going to vote out Brandon this week, why would they do so next Wednesday?
There’s no reason to do so. He’s not bright enough to see that he’s number-four in the alliance. Instead, they’ll send Rick home and then calmly vote out Brandon the following week.
Not only is Brandon blind to his place on the tribe, he wouldn’t be able to see the writing on the wall if someone tried to tell him all about it.

Then they showed commentary footage of John chatting it up with Ozzy. They talked about who would vote for who if they made it to the finals,and whether or not John had a chance of beating Ozzy in a duel. After the break, they showed more commentary footage. Brandon hurt Edna's feelings by telling her she's not part of their tribe. Then everyone watched a video email from their family members. Brandon started balling,again,once he got his message. Next, they showed John and Ozzy's duel at Redemption Island. In the duel, they had to use grappling hooks to toss and reel in three bags. After that,they had to use a ball from the bag,...

For an episode with the most predictable of outcomes, this week’s Survivor: South Pacific contained plenty of juicy intrigue. If your DVR gorged on Kardashian marathons over Thanksgiving (horror!) and didn’t have room for Days of Our Te Tunas, here’s a shortlist of things you’ll need to know:
* Coach returned from last week’s Tribal Council and asked his six remaining tribemates: “Doesn’t this feel great?” Um, yeah, if your idea of a kumbaya experience is hanging in a septet of hungry, unwashed, paranoid people are getting ready to turn on each other for a chance at $1 million.

Regardless of the numbers, we're absolutely in the end game of “Survivor: South Pacific” with just a few episodes remaining. After the jump, let's weigh in on where we're at.
Alas, poor Cochran -- we knew him well. Easily one of the most compelling contestants this season (which, really, says a lot), Cochran’s exit is definitely a loss in terms of entertainment value. Of course, he's not out yet -- but the seemingly unstoppable Ozzy stands in his way of redemption.
I won't be so quick as to say that Cochran can't beat Ozzy next week. The human fish is as tough as competition gets, yes, but all it takes is one challenge that he's...

Survivor: South Pacific 23.12 "Cult Like" Recap
You are not hallucinating: we are now on Episode 12 of this season's Survivor, and my last recap was for Episode 10. That is because Episode 11 was the annual Thanksgiving Eve recap episode. With relatives in town for the holiday, I didn't find time to recap a recap, but if you'd like to know if you missed anything important (you didn't, well........except for Rick Speaking!), take a quick perusal of Entertainment Weekly's recap provided by the illustrious Dalton Ross. I'll wait.............................................................................
Done? Good.
This week's episode begins on Night 27 at Te Tuna. Coach celebrates the elimination of Savaii. Edna confesses that she is paranoid about being at the bottom of her tribe. Cochran is also worried because it was said at Tribal Council that he is the next to go -- he knows the "family" could turn on him at any moment.
The next morning,...

Games evolve. The NFL has moved from a league dominated by running the football and defense to an aerial assault. After years of offense, baseball has recently been dominated by pitching.
If the game is played long enough, it will evolve. Now in its 23rd season, Survivor has officially done so again. Gone are the days when alliances changed based on dwindling numbers. A new era has been ushered in: The Family.
Appropriately, this era was started under the stewardship of Rob Mariano. He’s most famously known as Boston Rob, but his other nickname is The Robfather. Heck, CBS even launched an advertisement for Survivor the week after Rob made his famous Godfather quotes that had Survivor written with the puppet strings like The Godfather.
It is a nickname that goes back to Rob’s first season on the show, Survivor: Marquesas. Back then the game was in its infancy,...

John Cochran got voted off 'Survivor 23,South Pacific' in episode 11 tonight.Tonight's episode kicked off with scenes from the episode that aired two weeks ago when Dawn & Whitney got drop kicked on over to Redemption Island. Then they showed brief commentary from the main cast before heading into the first break. After the break, they showed more commentary footage. Sophie started expressing her dislike for John. John ended up asking the Upolu tribe to at least give him another week on the island since he made a big sacrifice for their tribe,earlier in the game. Next,they showed Ozzy,Dawn,and Whitney's Redemption Island duel. In the duel,they had to stack dishes on top of each other,while balancing it on a pole. If they dropped any of the dishes,they lost. They kept stacking them until everyone dropped dishes except for the last one left standing.

“This is the time to make a big, big move.” So said recent turncoat Cochran, contemplating another blindside against a veteran player, on this week’s installment of Survivor: South Pacific. And for a brief, exciting moment, I thought the Harvard Law student was going to team up with fellow former Savaii members Dawn and Whitney — plus seemingly savvy Upolus Sophie and Hot Albert — to stage a coup against self-described “old mob boss” Coach.
It certainly made sense: With nine players left in the mix (not counting Redemption Island), Dawn and Whitney, the last remaining players outside the Circle of Seven,...

Two double-boots in a row and two jury members later, we've finally arrived at that point in the "Survivor" season where you can actually identify every single person playing the game by name and face… for the most part, at least. With only seven players slugging it out in the "South Pacific" while three vie for redemption, now's the perfect chance to look at all the Survivors and weigh their odds for… well, survival.
» Coach: He can say whatever he wants, but he's the top dog of the Upolu alliance. Everyone knows it, Coach included. The Dragon Slayer is playing his best game of "Survivor" yet, but he's close to the grinder now. There are no Savaii members to pick off anymore (unless you count NuCochran), and it's time to start feasting on his own young. Coach has an excellent shot at making it to the end,...

Survivor: South Pacific 23.10 "Running the Show" Recap
If you missed last week's episode, do yourself a favor and catch up with my recap here.
This week's edition of Survivor begins on Night 24 at Redemption Island with Jim's arrival. The three former Savaiis laugh at the fact that they were supposed to be the Final Three. Jim confesses that Coach is leading a cult back at Te Tuna. Ozzy rues the fact that Coach will just bring Edna and Cochran to the end with him and win the game.
Over at the aforementioned Te Tuna, Coach says that Jim is the worst kind of guy because he has no loyalty. Coach confides that whomever is on the bottom of the alliance needs to be kept happy so they don't revolt. That's why he talks about loyalty so much and is always checking in with those on the bottom of the totem pole.

Each week, host Jeff Probst answers a few questions about the most recent episode of Survivor: South Pacific.
Entertainment Weekly: I’ve suggested in the past that when you have a double elimination episode that you spring a challenge on them right there at Tribal Council and then have a vote-off immediately after, so I loved finally seeing that happen. One thing I was curious about was the decision to let the contestants (and viewers) know beforehand that there would be a twist at Tribal, allowing them (and us) to guess and prepare for it.

To the untrained eye this week’s episode of Survivor, "Running The Show", was not very interesting. Tribal council was predictable with who was sent home. Even the tribal council twist was predictable and didn’t impact the game much.
Or did it? The show spent a lot of time on Albert’s discussions with Sophie, Cochrane, Dawn and Whitney about how now is the time to make a move and how he wanted to reward Cochrane with something better than seventh place. Why spend all of that time if they were just going to vote off Dawn and/or Whitney?
I believe that Albert and Sophie really are contemplating the eventual fracture of the former Upolu but felt that the twist was too risky to make their move then. Along those same lines, I feel that Albert and Sophie are confident that they can make a move now, even...

Survivor: South Pacific 23.09 "Cut Throat" Recap
If you missed last week's all important episode, make sure you catch up with my recap here.
This week's installment of Survivor: South Pacific begins after Te Tuna's first Tribal Council. Back at camp, Ozzy asks Cochran what's up with his vote. Cochran says that he has wanted to play this game so bad that the didn't want his fate decided by rocks. Brandon tries to butt in to make sure no one is being rough with Cochran, but Ozzy shoos him away. Ozzy says that Cochran stabbed him in the back "so hard." Cochran says it was self-preservation. Jim calls him a coward and says he never wants to speak to him again. Whitney then reads Cochran the riot act because she and Keith had saved him three times. Now, they'll be picked off one by one. "You disgust me," she concludes.

The biggest news of this week’s episode of Survivor, "Cut Throat," was that it was really two episodes. Beyond that, most everything that happened was fairly predictable. The question that remains is whether we, the audience, prefer the way that the presumed inevitable was presented to us.
On the surface, going with a double episode seems to be the best way to do it. Why draw out what we already know will happen? We hate it when they try to build fake drama by showing us the fleeting plans of desperate people.
Jim gave the producers all the material they needed with his harebrained plans. I’m glad they didn’t waste our time with hour long episodes each trying to make his plans seem possible.
After further examination, however, what happens the next time we’re presented with this scenario and we do not get a double episode.

It's a hurry-up night on "Survivor: South Pacific," as we go through two whole rounds in one episode.
Post Tribal
Needless to say, the old Savaii are not happy with Cochran. People were commenting last week that he went from being sixth man on one tribe to seventh man on another, but I disagree. First of all, why wouldn't you want to side with people who are being nice to you and treating you decently, as opposed to people who have treated you like crap for two weeks? Secondly, he makes a fair point that he didn't want it to come down to rocks. Drawing rocks sucks. I wouldn't want to take that chance either when I can guarantee somebody else goes home by switching.
After Tribal, Ozzy the pouty baby is all, "You totally screwed me over." Hey, guess what, Ozzy? It's not all about you. Cochran is...

If you missed one of the most bizarre moves in Survivor history, make sure you catch up with last week's recap.
This week's episode begins at Savaii the night of the last Tribal Council. Cochran notes how quickly the game changes, and thanks to Ozzy's plan, it has changed quickly again. The move may go down as one of the biggest moves in Survivor history. Cochran addresses the group about what he should say to Upolu upon The Merge. He's pretended to like the members of his tribe for eighteen days, he can pretend to like Upolu. Ozzy arrives at Redemption Island and tells Christine that Cochran pulled out the Hidden Immunity Idol and ousted him. He then confesses that his move could have been the craziest thing he has ever done, or, in the alternative, the ballsiest.

Ozzy and Cochran and Dawn, oh my! What an action packed episode we were treated to this week on Survivor. How do you choose where to begin when discussing it? So much happened after Ozzy’s plan worked, it seems like an after thought.
For starters, I believe that Cochran made the right move. Or, as he said, a move that puts him in some control of his fate. Even if the former Savaii had survived the rock selection that occurs after a tie, where would that have left Cochrane? He’s still on the bottom of a six-person alliance.
By going with the former, Upolu Cochrane assures himself at least the top seven. Yes, seventh is not the goal of Survivor. What is important about the top seven is that he gets four more weeks to not worry about going home. Four more weeks to figure out how to crack the Upolu six.

Lingerie football player turned Playboy cover girl turned island temptress Mikayla Wingle is not opposed to flaunting her assets. Unfortunately for her, Brandon was. And his creepy, borderline stalkerish behavior ultimately led to her exit from Survivor: South Pacific. Making the entire escapade even more bizarre is the fact that Mikayla had no idea about Brandon’s obsession until she watched it herself on television. We learned that and more when Mikayla called in to talk to Jessica Shaw and yours truly on the latest InsideTV Podcast. Unsurprisingly, Mikayla is none too fond of Brandon — whom, in an ironic twist,...

Day 17. The Redemption Island Arena. Christine and Mikayla enter, much to the amazement of Ozzy and Cochran. For the Duel, they must take apart a crate and use the slats to build a bridge. They then must take the bridge apart and use some of the slats to solve a puzzle. With the rules explained, Jeff starts the Duel.
Christine quickly takes the crate apart by sliding out four slats at a time. She quickly moves to building her bridge. Mikayla,...

Three-quarters of the way through this week’s episode, "Trojan Horse," I had figured out what I was going to write my review. I wanted to talk about leadership and dissect the difference between Coach’s style and Ozzy’s style.
And then Ozzy went a pulled one of the ballsiest moves in Survivor history.
Or maybe the stupidest. There’s plenty of room to debate the merits of what Ozzy is doing and we’ll do that. Just later. I want to focus on the leadership effect that Ozzy’s choice will have on his tribe.
By sacrificing himself for the betterment of his tribe and his ultimate success as a player, Ozzy’s move will unify Savaii. This is quite ironic because all of his actions leading up to the day of tribal council did anything but accomplish this task.

All heck breaks loose on "Survivor: South Pacific" with the Savaii tribe. I can't wait to see how this plays out.
Redemption Island
It's Christine vs. Mikayla in a duel of constructing a bridge with planks, then using the planks to solve a puzzle. They are pretty much neck-and-neck going into the puzzle, but Mikayla can't get her planks right and Christine wins. Wow. Christine is kicking some serious butt on Redemption Island. Good for her.
Upolu
Following Tribal, Coach gets a little mixed metaphor on us by saying about Brandon and his crazypants outbursts that it might get a little like "Of Mice and Men" and something about shooting someone in the head and it's kill or be killed. Then he does some yoga. That's the Coach we all know and love.

Maybe it’s because I watched the trailer for Own’s Miss Representation earlier in the day, but I was pretty outraged by the misogyny in last night’s Survivor. Now, I’ve been watching the CBS reality show since its first season, and I consume more reality TV than any human being should, so I’m no stranger to disturbing behavior, hilarious editing, and backstabbing confessionals. But there was something about last night’s episode that simply crossed a line. Actually, two things.
So let’s get down to business. First, Cochran remarked that the temper-tantrum-throwing Ozzy was “behaving like a stupid bitch.

More and more, I'm coming around on Coach and Ozzy being in this game. Starting out, I was bugged by their lack of history, their unevenness, the complete dearth of any connective tissue between the two other than, "Hey, these guys played the game a couple of times, they were pretty popular, and it worked for us last season, so why not bring 'em back?" Now, I'm starting to get on board, precisely because these two are such imperfect players.
Let's start with Ozzy. The Savaii alpha male got knocked down a peg or two last week when Elyse, his not-so-secret back-pocket ally and warm body to snuggle with, was booted from the tribe behind his back. (She was permanently removed from the game in this episode, too, when she lost her Redemption Island duel against the increasingly awesome Christine.) Instead of licking his wounds and thinking...

The episode begins at Savaii on Night 14. The tribe returns to camp where Ozzy voices his displeasure at being blindsided. He confesses that he can't trust Keith and Whitney. He announces that he is done playing in an "alliance way," and is now a free agent that will be playing for himself. Whitney says the vote wasn't against him, but Ozzy protests that they were keeping secrets form him. Dawn says he's keeping stuff from them, and he replies that he has the Hidden Immunity Idol. "Screw it, I'm just going to let everything hang out there," he says, finishing by saying that he always has Redemption Island if things don't work out.
The next morning at Savaii, Ozzy is still dumbfounded that his tribe ousted Elyse. If the tribe wants to win Challenges,...
