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.

It's been like 15 years since I watched this but I do remember being a huge Dreamz fan and thought he was robbed
