Kay, let's jump right in shall we? This season... Was trash...
When they first started the season and announced it was men vs women again, I was thinking "okay this could be fun" until I saw the cast... Like... I had to go look up who was even on this Season it was that bad, that boring, and that just un-fucking-eventful.
Unlike in the Amazon, where it was OBVIOUSLY men vs women, this game started off with a tribe of half-prissy women and half-masc women who honestly made it seem like a normal average tribe. I'm not knocking masculine women, but it felt like CBS was trying to even out the much more feminine tribe of seasons past.
Now... I would talk about the guys... Chris sucked. I'm sorry but it's just the truth. The guy was a target from week fucking one and that was because he couldn't fucking balance. And he never. got. better. Then you had the amputee... woohoo... let's give him a gold star...
All around the casting just felt like CBS just wanted to make up for something, but IDK what it was. It made the cast EXTREMELY forgettable, and the only thing I do remember about the cast that was different was that open lesbians were cast for the first time in the show's history.
Both tribes doing the old vs young crap all over again which we've seen in so many seasons also did not help this season stand out. The fact some guys like Travis and Chris managed to work their way into the women's alliances to make it further in the game was interesting to watch, both men coming from the bottom and working their way up with serious mental strategy.
Then we hit merge...
8 women
2 men
… And the women turned on each other... … … … …
It was so fucking incredible to watch a team of 8 women who literally wanted to ELIMINATE the men just turn on each other without any qualms... Between Twila's outbursts, Scout's wishy-washy attitude, and Chris just stirring the pot constantly, it was boring and even painful to watch.
And that's the story of how a guy who was targeted day 1 managed to make it to a merge with 80% of the team gunning to take him out and still make it to the finale and win... Bravo CBS bravo...
