Programming note: Expresso on SABC3 has Survivor Xtra with TVSA and Tashi Tagg Tuesday mornings at 06:45, about the Monday's episode.


If you're watching Survivor Tocatins on SABC3 Mondays at 19:30 you will want to watch Survivor Xtra with TVSA and Tashi Tagg on Tuesday mornings at 06:45 on SABC3's breakfast show Expresso. Tomorrow morning will be the 3rd episode.

My dear frenemy Tashni Tashi Tagg who does excellent work covering television is also brilliant with Survivor coverage and came up with the idea of having an on-air panel discussion on TV with insider gossip the day after an episode. Survivor Xtra with TVSA is a companion insert to Survivor Tocatins with extra information, insights, secrets and gossip about the season and opinion, chatter, debate and critique by Thrashey Tashi Tagg, the Expresso presenter and guest viewers and fans of Survivor Tocatins.

Survivor Xtra with TVSA sees Tratchni Tashi Tagg discussing the Monday night episode with a panel of fans of the show. For years the CBS Early Show in America has given time to the previous night's episode of Survivor on the CBS network because so much more exists in terms of footage, interviews, voted out contestants and possible discussions. Finally South African Survivor fans can also have more insight, perspective and analysis thanks to Survivor Xtra with TVSA recapping and doing talking points on the just-seen episode.

I'm told guests who want to form part of the panel (and everyone I've watched so far early in the morning in my living room or in hotel rooms across South Africa the past few weeks have been great) can email survivorxtra@tvsa.co.za or expresso@expressoshow.com (you have to be in Cape Town).
