GENERAL THOUGHTS:
Although the season seemed like it was shaping up to be pretty predictable, it definitely had a much more shocking conclusion than season 1. Was it the best possible outcome? Probably not. Did it make for a good season? Yeah, it did, at least in my opinion.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Both of the first 2 HOH's winning both HOH and Veto
- Mason surviving back-to-back nominations by one vote both times
- Cara Maria using her one HOH to try to take out Ben or Tatiana, failing to evict either one, and being a constant target of Ben's wrath for the rest of the season
- Ben deciding to backdoor Tatiana rather than getting Cara Maria out of the house.
- Aimee and Eli being the last two to cast a vote at every eviction, then getting targeted back-to-back
- Ben winning literally every challenge he was eligible for (except F5 Veto) in the second half of the season, and then choking at the Final HOH
- Thom winning both HOH and POV at F5 and being the one to finally successfully get Cara Maria evicted
- Mike being the last person to never be a final nominee, finally sitting on the block at the F5 eviction
- Mike defeating the seemingly unbeatable Ben and evicting him in third
Potential Returnees:
Mason
Mike
Ben
Cara Maria
Tatiana
GENERAL THOUGHTS:
Overall, a pretty good season! Plenty of power shifts kept the gameplay constantly shifting, although JJ basically steamrolling the season did make it a little bit predictable, but in a good way.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Bayleigh dominating the first few weeks and then leaving pre-jury
- Lorna winning 4 competitions early on and then failing to save herself from eviction
- James flipping the game on its head halfway through the season by backdooring Lorna
- JJ managing to stay under the radar and going unnominated despite his five comp wins
- James and Brittany trading off HOH's for four weeks
- James dominating challenges late-game and failing at targeting Brittany every time
- Jon managing to go under the radar until winning an HOH week 6
- Iker winning first HOH and then disappearing off the face of the earth until her eviction
- JJ and Karen turning the tables on Brittany and evicting Anastasia over Jon
- Brittany getting her sweet revenge on James at Final 4
- JJ coming in clutch at Final HOH and cutting Karen over Brittany
Potential Returnees:
JJ
Brittany
Karen
James
Lorna
Bayleigh (Robbed pre-juror)
