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).
