This season started out really boring with one side just dominating the other side because they had all of the comforts and food, while the other tribe was starving with nothing. So, the big "twist" of the season (Haves & Have Nots) was definitely a complete flop. But, after the merge, everything really picked up and things got very interesting. There were a lot of players who didn't have a solid alliance and could have flipped either way, so it was fun to watch. This season had a few very interesting people, such as Dreamz & Yau Man and it also had some likable characters, like Earl & Cassandra. It also had some supremely unlikable people, like Stacey and Lisi. The way Stacey & Lisi treated Dreamz & Cassandra in the beginning was infuriating to me. I loved the little partnership between Yau Man & Earl. Dreamz broke my heart so much by reneging on his deal with Yau Man. But that just goes to show how invested in these people I became over the course of the season. I liked that this season was very racially diverse. I feel like that makes for a much more interesting game than a mostly white cast. I'm tired of seeing so many seasons with the same old archetypes of the super athletic white guy and the hot young white girls who are totally forgettable and bring nothing to the show. Seeing 3 POC in the final 3 for 2 seasons in a row (Cook Islands & Fiji) was truly something cool to see. And the POC were all very different from each other and most were very interesting people. I wish Survivor had continued on with seasons that were just as diverse as this one and Cook Islands, but sadly they did not.
