Survivor: Micronesia: - Fans vs. Favorites
Channel: CBS
Time: 8/7c
Premieres: Thu, Feb 7
Starring: Jeff Probst
Trailer
Synopsis: For the first time, there will be 10 ultra-fans of the show competing against 10 former contestants (even though non were the final winners).
My Take: I’m confused about why this show is still going and popular. I think its popularity is waning, but still comes back and it always looks so boring and repetitive.
