Another season down. Thanks for the recommendation Boc, vry good. Even though I'm just going in order (:

Hey Curtis, you mis-numbered the Episode 12 thread Episode 11 and I got spoiled on Christian leaving!!! I just wanted to see FE's reaction to Gabby's blindside :(

"Christian, do you want to play with me?"
"Play with you? Oh! In the sand?"

Man I don't think I've ever laughed at a little moment in this show ever as much as that one.

God I loved Christian. I rooted for him so very hard in this season and it was heartbreaking that he got eliminated in the episode before the finale. The casting for this season was definitely strong. Lots of really great characters and although I really didn't like 4/6 in the finale episode, they all at least had some sort of storyline going for them to make me believe why they were there. Totally unlike this last season where you pretty much knew it was between two people. The twists are getting a little out of hand though and while it did lead to some really cool moments (Dan leaving mainly), it really does still feel like people are becoming successful in the game from twists falling in their lap rather than purely good gameplay. But I think it's pretty much cemented that those aren't ever going away.

This was overall a really strong season though! Finally a season I wasn't VERY MUCH spoiled on (I already knew Mike played and lost, which sure made FTC anticlimatic for me... and I knew John got idol'd out, but I didn't know when). There's a few people that played here I'd love to see play again. Nick was always one of my favorites. I was rooting heavily for Christian and Davie first but Nick's performance on the finale was excellent. Loved his story.

Also unpopular opinion but I've warmed up to the F4 fire and... can't believe I'm saying this... the FTC format. I thought I would haaaaate not having indvidual questions but quite honestly... it's not a bad thing. So many dumb unncessary soapbox moments. Like a random example would be Jeffra in Cagayan. "Hey you voted me out now tell me why I was so great!" No, fuck that. That's dumb. It makes it much more about the final three and less about jerking off the dweebs on the jury.
