I just recently re-watched both of these seasons on CBS All Access as a matter of fact! Who knew I would soon have to choose between them in a poll!!!

I like certain things about each but I would have to go with the drama/characters from Exile Island. I also think Aras was a better winner than Yul. Weird cause the first time I watched Cook Islands I thought Yul was a great winner but, when I re-watched it, he seemed to just benefit from Jonathan's mistakes. Cook Islands does have a better logo, though!
