Overall, I actually didn't really think this season was all that good. It was very obvious that JT was going to win and I wished someone had tried to take him out, it seemed like they were all playing for him to win. It's a shame actually because they had a great location, nice challenges and I loved how it was back to basics. I did find the cast quite weak but they definately aren't as bad as Redemption Island or One World.
The finale really boosted my opinion of the season as a whole. I thought it was really well editied, the final 4 was good and I absolutely loved the final tribal! Stephen was such a whiny baby at the final tribal, I couldn't help but laugh. My opinion on Erinn also changed on the finale, before I didn't really get why she was so loved but after the finlae, I totally get it and appreciate her role as the underdog.

I thought it had a GREAT cast. Tyson was a good villain, Coach and Sandy brought the crazy, Stephen and J.T. were strategic players, Taj, Brenden, Joe, Debbie and Erinn were just likeable, and Sierra was an underdog. What was there not to like?
