Welcome to Drop Your Buffs! Survivor analysis by me, Russell Feathers. An Australian who thinks he has the numbers but is probably about to get his torch snuffed.
Drop Your Buffs! was created in 2016 when it was announced there would finally be another production of Survivor in Australia. More than just a recap of each episode, Drop Your Buffs! is strategic analysis of the great game. A detailed examination of everything that is going on, what could happen, what should happen, and what will happen to each and every tribe and player, posted shortly after each episode airs. Of course, I’m often wrong with my analysis and predictions, but I wholeheartedly encourage discussion and debate in the comments sections. If you disagree with me, don’t just whinge to your cat about it, drop your buffs and get typing!
