The Emmys are back up for grabs.
For a show built on outlasting, outwitting and outplaying, “Survivor” has done all three for more than two decades. The question now, smack in the middle of its milestone 50th season, is whether the Television Academy is finally ready to reward it where it matters most: the Emmys.
Here’s the twist that still stuns industry watchers (myself very much included): despite more than 70 nominations across its run, “Survivor” has never won the Primetime Emmy for outstanding reality competition program. An omission that feels increasingly glaring, and this season, could be damn near impossible to ignore.
