That Survivor: Fiji was by all accounts supposed to be "Cook Islands 2.0" after the absolute disaster of a reception that season received. Not even the racial segregation (though that certainly was a big part of it) but the fact that it's largely a boring snoozefest that production had to openly rig on multiple occasions to get a half decent outcome.
So with all of that feedback, what does CBS decide to go? "Yep, 4 tribes again, yes, divide 'em all by race again, sounds good." I honestly think there's an argument to be made that Melissa McNulty's last second panic attack saved the show (forcing them to do 19 people and the made up on the spot "everyone on the beach Day 1" twist that we ended up getting), but that's a blog for another day.
That Debb Eaton from Survivor Australia later became known for her work as an advocate for children of single parents? Google "Debb Eaton stepson" to learn more
And I will give you a Survivor first boot that I think matches your vibe. I will do my best to give you someone unless I genuinely have no clue who you are.
