God I loved that season, I'm going to miss it. Here are my thoughts on the cast:
Rupert- I like him, but not love him, and he definitely didn't deserve a 4th chance... I'm glad he went so early.
Marissa- I had a feeling she'd go home early because she seemed too snappy for the game, but I wanted her to stay longer so she could entertain us
Colton- Ugh. Why was he back? Seems like a fine person irl but a horrid survivor player.
Rachel- I really liked Rachel, she seemed like a really chill, down to earth girl, plus she had amazing eyes. I was sad to see her go so early!
Candice- <3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 I didn't understand why she was brought back for HvV but she grew on me so much during this season. I was hoping she'd make it back from RI but I'm glad that Laura M was able to if it couldn't be her.
Brad- Ugh. He's a nice guy but he was too obnoxious for my liking.
John- Really likable guy, I felt bad for him and you can tell he really loves Candice. Plus cute to boot
Laura B- She got screwed by the twist, although I'm glad Rupert gave her a shot to play. I liked her but she totally shot herself in the foot
Kat- What a goofball, but she's great for comedic value. She and Hayden are an adorable, and I'm dying to know what the hell she was talking about during the reunion show (top heavy? what?)
Aras- He had a great story arc and he's a cool player/guy. Great blindside!
Vytas- He's a really good speaker @_@ I thought he was going to win for quite a while. Strong player!
Caleb- Such a lovable guy, he seems to fit Colton well and handles all the criticism too. It's impossible to not like Caleb
Katie- <3333333 She was my fave before the season started, and I'm glad she made it so far. My heart goes out to her family
Hayden- He was meh for me during BB, but he really stood out for me this season. He's a strong strategist and orator, definitely made for a few entertaining tribal councils.
Ciera- Ugh definitely the goddess of BvW. I'm glad that she was able to change her mind on a lot of things because of Caleb, and she's a great strategist and so compelling to watch. I want to see her back!
Laura M- She's definitely one of my favorite characters of all time and I was thrilled to see her back. She rocked RI and she seems like such a fun person to be around. Definitely has a strong heart.
Tina- The cutest badass ever. She's definitely one of the greatest players of all time, she's so sweet but at the same cutthroat. She could get away with murder by giving you a hug and saying she's sorry. <3 Tina
Gervase- It was cool to seeing an original player come back so long after borneo, but he was pretty meh for me this season. Cool guy but just didn't seem to grasp how the jury felt most of the time. Still a cool guy, though!
Monica- It was cool seeing Monica make it so far after her ONe World flop, and I really thought she was going to win it at the end there. Definitely strong physically and I think she's underrated as a strategist.
Tyson- I wasn't thrilled to see him back because I didn't love him in Tocantins or HvV, but he proved to be really strong at actually playing the game. Well deserved win and def made me reevaluate my opinion of him.
I'm going to miss this season and all the great characters and moments! I think this season was definitely the strongest since HvV, I'm so glad i was wrong about hating this season.
What'd y'all think of the finale?
