I actually love the editting of Borneo (: MY FAVORITE SEASON!
I haven't seen Philippines and besides Guatemala it's the season I know the absolute least about. It does have a better logo though, I will give it that.
Still, Borneo is awesome. The editting is very different but it's got this great mix of campy summer series, documentary style, and a sense of foreboding. It also reminds me a lot of old 90s shows so it's hitting the nostalgia sweet spot for me. Not a lot of seasons do a good job of hitting that same TONE. The lack of strategy is frustrating but if you can ignore that it does a great job of making the whole season the story of the downfall of everyone else who isn't Richard while still making it interesting and well rounded.
I think it's great storytelling, though probably not a great Survivor season overall |
