SURVIVOR: PHILIPPINES
CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET
SEASON PREMIERE: This is the start of the 25th cycle for this long-running, influential reality competition series – but 25, for me, is a few too many, and I’ve dropped this series from my regular viewing list. In case you haven’t, however, there remain some reasons to watch, including three castaways from previous editions, as well as one new celebrity contestant, Lisa Welchel (pictured) from The Facts of Life. That’s not compelling for me, either – but there you go.
