Inviso's full writeup: 31 - I want to rank this above Cambodia out of spite for Cambodia ruining the franchise, but I just cant bring myself to do it. As much as I harp on Cambodia for being soulless and strategy-laden, at least it HAD strategy. Ghost Island is as soulless as Cambodia, but with a straight-forward boot order that, compounded by terrible editing, makes for the biggest slog Ive had to watch since the month of Worlds Apart hell. The pre-merge is DECENT, sure, but Id argue that theres only one really GOOD episode there, and of course its the one where the better tribe actually loses a challenge and gets to showcase their dynamics. Seriously, the imbalance if quality between the two tribes is amazing. I cant even root for the underdogs because theyre so boring. Anyway, the merge happens and all suspense dies. Its just episode after episode of the same people repeating the same thing over and over until we get a unique ending to the season that isnt worth having the edit be so piss poor.

eaed's full writeup: 31 - I kind of hate putting this here because at the end of the day it does have the broken twist, and the overall predictability factor / boringness in it. But the fact of the matter is that there were indeed fun moments like the first 4 episodes and then Dom/Wendell rivalry/bromance. And the fact that this season allowed me to watch a little less like a superfan and more like a casual because I watched it with my friend really helped. Also, someone needs to defend this poor season because I still dont get those people that are out here saying this doesnt even feel like survivor anymore because of the ending and uneven editing and lack of character talk. At the end of the day, Survivor has a job to do and to tell us the story that they want to tell and some characters arent offering up what YOU want out of them or what production needs out of them. For example, listening to RHAP Chelsea focused in her secret scenes primarily on the story being about her vs Wendell and the confessionals of the other players werent reflecting that. Now, that is no excuse not to show her at all. They should have found a way to get her/the others to talk about her more as a threat but at the end of the day without giving away the outcome of the season they had to do what they had to do. Honestly, people were just too hard on this season and the season didnt help itself by having one of the most dominating alliances in Survivor History.
