And finally the 3rd season I had missed originally, while watching through the show looks more like the show does now.
Nico is the host and the contestants this season were South African celebrities' playing for their favorite charities.
The beginning started off with them carrying boxes written in Portuguese. After dragging it through a desert, some of it turned out to be stuff they needed while other boxes were just junk.
Lot of quitters in this season. One girl quit the very first day because she missed her child. Another quit because he thought he was dying, even though medical said he was perfectly fine.
There was a challenge where the winner got to pick between food and a hidden immunity idol (again to be played before votes were cast) and they still had the same weird "touch the coconut after 30 seconds" tiebreaker with those who didn't have previous votes.
There were a lot of ties this season but they were determined by who'd had the most votes in the past. Which was strategic when it came to voting because people were throwing random votes out everywhere in hopes they'd eventually break tie breakers.
Hein, from season 2 came back as a "reward" and showed the winning tribe how to survive on the island.
There was a comedian on the series who was really funny but had a hard time connecting with anyone for some reason and was eventually voted out.
During the last tribal council, after they voted the last person to the jury, the winners went to eat a dinner that night and came right back for the final tribal which was weird.
Ashley and the stripper Gigi were the finalist. Ashley played a dominant game, winning 5 back to back challenges in the end and betrayal every single alliance she was in to get to the end. Problem was, she pissed off everyone and they decided to give it to Gigi who never rocked the boat.
Though not the best winner for South Africa, she's certainly better than the previous 2 winners they had.
I don't have Season 10 yet but it should be coming out soon. I'll review it when I've watched it.
