Season 4 (Marquesas) was honestly just a sweet cast. There was more of a 'family' feel to both tribes, even so far as having annoying siblings. The alliances TRANSCENDING the swaps was honestly so amazing. And the fact that the final 2 came from two different tribes, and were both women, was a huge first.
The Pre-Merge was kind of intense to be honest. A lot of people wanted to rule the roost so fast, and then they kept eliminating strong competitors BEFORE the merge. Boston Rob was a douche of a mastermind, and I can totally see why he was invited back again. Then the swap screwed him over, much like the four young'uns from the last season. When people who had all of the power on one tribe were eliminated on the other.
This was the first season, even though swaps were implemented beforehand, that it actually played into the alliances, and newer groups were formed. I really liked the part of the merge where Kathy, Vecepia, Neleh, Paschal, and Sean grouped together, it was AWESOME. Honestly I was rooting for all of them, even though the rest of the merge was pretty good competitor wise.
Now... Let's talk about the Rotu alliance. While I can appreciate what they were trying to do, most of the Rotu alliance treated both finalists like shit. The Rotu alliance was made up of people who betrayed, lied, and fooled all of the others. Some of them were EXTREMELY self-absorbed and just rude to everybody. And in the end, they would have been the final 4 if not for the mixed alliance that took them out.
As of the Final Tribal Council, I really didn't think either of the finalists would have won against Kathy because of the bitterness of the Rotu people, but I was NOT expecting the Rotu alliance to be such douches. John (biggest self-absorbed high-oh-his-own-horse prick of them all) voted Vecepia to win, I knew it was in the bag. Between the two of them, I believe both deserved it, but honestly I rooted for Vecepia more just because (As John pointed out) she owned her game, whereas Neleh tried to explain it away.
As far as the season / island as a whole, I found the finalists AND the island to be a bit lack-luster. They had no food, water, or fire, which I thought was AMAZING... until they started looking around. I mean my god. They had fucking fruit trees IN THEIR CAMPS. It's crazy to think about how easy they had it food wise. Part of survivor is starvation, but in this game it seems like most of the work was done FOR them by the environment. Few storms / rains, plenty of food and water, the only real challenge they had was fire and making a good shelter. That was it.

I love ur mentality of appreciating the survival and location aspect very refreshing but im already crying for u when u get to the point where they have the same location twice in a row and they eventually just stay in Fiji for 8 ssns
