Yeah, I am of the following minds:
- Liz helping Kenzie at that challenge was hugely unfair, and shouldn't be allowed in the future
- Siga was boring AF, aside from Ben
- Charlie was given a winner's narrative with the story being told, but Kenzie got winner's edit moments otherwise too. I really like how they misdirected us with a distraction like Charlie.
- The fact that Kenzie got it for having a sob story - and the fact that Quitavius asked that horrid question about what people would do with the money - is downright annoying. Seriously, that's irrelevant. Kenzie winning at fire is also a dumb reason. That has nothing to do with the game. Further proof that the forced fire-making needs to go.
- We are allowed to be critical of the jury members so long as we also remember that we are watching an edited TV program that is not from any one perspective. Each juror sees it differently, and each of them gets to explain their vote. This said, Quitavius voting for Kenzie based on her sob story is not a valid reason to vote for her to win. You vote based on game, not what would happen because of it. Venus voting for Kenzie based on private parts is also stupid, but I still adore her as a character.
- This season had a lot of casting dynamite. Such a weird and wacky bunch. It's my favorite season of the New Era despite my very mixed feelings about its ending.
