Heather Havrilesky Salon.com The legend of Fireman and Dolphin Boy had all of the twists and turns of a good comic book Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Dalton Ross Entertainment Weekly The challenges may have been Survivor's best ever. What's interesting about Palau is that we basically all knew Tom would win from episode one, but it was still gripping nonetheless. Mar 14, 2019 Full Review Joe Reid The Atlantic This was the season that Stephanie and Bobby Jon won our hearts by surviving the longest on the decimated Ulong tribe, the losingest tribe of all time Mar 14, 2019 Full Review Michele Hewitson New Zealand Herald Where do they get these people? Perhaps they give them all some test which proves that they will be lacking in empathy, intelligence and any idea of what to wear on a trip to a remote island Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Vic Holtreman Screen Rant The premiere proved that the old tried and true methods of humiliation work best... I have to say that there are some things about Survivor, at least as portrayed, that never cease to amuse me. Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com Fun folks make for a fun season, and Survivor: Palau had just enough of those to keep me tuning in. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 15, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Mr. C "Survivor: Palau" is an entertaining watch with a cast full of standouts, entertaining challenges, and it solidly starts a new chapter in Survivor's history. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A season that feels more Greek epic than strategy game show, Palau is almost like two different seasons, and yet maintains its epic scope. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
