Finished this one over the weekend and am ready to break it down!
1) LUKE from season 2 is back!! And he did not disappoint. He made it all the way to final four until Pia (an actress who ended up winning) betrayed him and voted him out, even though Luke had saved her 4 times from going home in multiple tribals. INSANE!
To make it worse, she knew about Luke's autistics kids and didn't care! She made plenty of money acting but got greedy and voted him out to ensure she won it all. (which she did in a clean sweep at the final vote)
2) The season held a twist I've never seen before. Both team had hidden immunity idols at their camps, that expired before the merge OR if they switched idols between tribes they'd have one that was good even into the merge.
I found this very interesting! There was also a risk of being a part of a tribe swap and having your idol rendered useless already! I really liked this idea. It got even better when David (one of the best players in the season) swapped a fake idol for a real one. Good stuff!
3) Speaking of David, he was insanely good at this game. He teamed up with Luke and went far before being blindsided. Andy (who was on the opposing tribe) thought he was a "master" at this game and the viewers probably thought so too until tribe swap when Luke and David entered his camp outnumbered 2 to 6....and turned the ENTIRE camp against Andy.
Andy was a complete fool for the rest of the time he was there, having no clue how bad David was making him look. How embarrassing.
4) The was another tribal where the winning tribe got to attend and instead of watching someone get voted off, they were allowed to bring someone over to their tribe!! I did think this was a little unfair but enjoyed seeing something completely new in the game. (seriously, this show beats modern day Survivor right now)
5) Another tribal shocked everyone, when the host told them they were going now and only had time to scramble for votes on the way there. Again, don't know if that's something I'd like to see done in the US but it surely was a suprise!
6) Daisey- I don't know what is it about this show but they love making dumb female players appear smart. She was praised by everyone for being "dangerous" yet not once was in control of the votes (except maybe once) Other than that, she took orders or was blind-sided badly. She found and played 2 idols on herself when she wasn't even the target. MORON. Yet she made it back for the All-Star season the next year.
Overall, I enjoyed the season. Hated who ended up in the final 3 but then again, this game doesn't favor those who play it best. Only those who ride coattails the best win.
I'm already halfway through the All-Star season. Since I know all the players I've been binging the season pretty fast!
I'll talk more about it tomorrow.
