I watched this season because it had Malcolm and Corinne on it. Aside from the premiere, pre-merge was totally boring. However, post-merge, the tribals were pretty great. Malcolm playing two idols, Corinne getting blindsided, Andrea getting blindsided. Brenda's blindside was probably the only time I've genuinely felt bad, especially after watching her final words. Sherri may have had one of the WOAT FTC performances, but her "You can sit down" was pretty entertaining hahaha. An overall average season.

Agree with all of that. I still think Sherri deserved much better treatment from the jury though. She ran the show up until the tribe swap and she was the swing vote multiple times during the merge. She held everyone's fate in her hands and her decisions got her to the finals. Kind of like Monica but she seemed more aware of what was happening than Monica. I love Sherri.

I actually think Monica was pretty aware that she had the power for a few TCs, it just never made sense to go with Cierra, as she'd 100% lose. I think it's a flaw with the jury to an extent, they'd rather respect straight-up strategic gameplay and not someone like Sherri's game. I mean, there's no way she'd win had she gone with the 3 Amigos.

And Dawn was really just Cochran's sidekick. I thought Sherri's story was much more notable than two favorites that came into the merge with numbers and had numbers the entire game. I wasn't in their situation so maybe Sherri was annoying or Cochran and Dawn did more than what we saw, but based on what we saw, I probably would have voted for Sherri if she gave decent answers to questions.

Originally when this season was airing, I wasn't a fan at all. But after rewatching it, I actually think it's a lot better than I remember. Sure, the fans tribe for the most part sucked, and were pretty unmemorable, but the events that happened this season were pretty good. Francesca going first for a second time, Brandon's crazyness, Malcolm trying to get himself in better positions, Brenda's blindside, and even Erik's evacuation (which kind of sucked, but it was the first time anybody got evacuated that late in the game).
Obviously not a good edited season, too much Cochran and Phillip. But overall, it wasn't as bad as I remember.

I never got why people hate this season so much, it wasn't that bad to me. Wasn't anything amazing, but the amount of people saying this was the worst season ever surprises me.

I am kind of understanding it now. The editing was terrible, just awful. Premerge it was just Brandon, Phillip, Shamar. All annoying characters. Then people like Brenda and Erik get invisible edits. A majority of the fans were apparently recruits too.

This was the first season that I watched while understanding the game and this season was trash. I remember thinking how could a lot of these people be favorites

I think Phillip's raging boner for Boston Rob is probably my favorite thing about this season.

Like...it's one thing to cast a set of ten fans that are meant to be sh*t but who's bright idea was it to cast three blonde 20 somethings on the same tribe.

Dawn is kind of like Rupert for me in the sense that when she returns, she becomes like a more unbearable version of her former self. I mean, I like her story of becoming a somewhat emotionless gamebot after being such an emotional player but her start in Caramoan is so annoying.

If anything she's still emotional while playing a cutthroat game and that's a disconnect that costs her the game as she's having to betray people and lie while being this positive and likable mother figure, but also knowing she has to do this for her family. She's one of the few worthwhile characters of the season with Andrea, Eddie, and kind of Laura.

I just find her to be an OTT version of her SoPa self and I don't find her likeable this season like she was in SoPa. Phillip is the worst offender of the Rupert syndrome tho. I actually enjoyed his Redemption Island showing the second time around, but he's unbearably cringe in Caramoan trying to continue his shtick.

Corinne's super formal announcement that they are forfeiting the challenge is hilarious

Omg the drama before the Michael vote-off is amazing, I love when the show has a good unedited long conversation like the one between Andrea and Eddie where she finds out she might be going home

Dawn saying she will pull herself from the game if she doesn't get three fake teeth that you can't see when she talks is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen on this show I think
