5. Exile Island (Tina, Melinda, Misty, Ruth Marie, Bobby, Dan, Nick, Austin, Sally, Bruce, Courtney, Shane, Cirie, Danielle, Aras)
I know Exile Island gets a lot of love, and the fact is that New Casaya was one of the best tribes of all time. The problem is that the New La Mina tribe mainly made the season boring. If you look at the episodes, you'll see boring streaks from 2-4 and 6-9. Granted, once the Pagonging was basically over, the season went into legendary proportions, with Cirie showing just how much of a genius she is, Terry dominating the hell out of challenges, Bruce/Courtney/Shane doing crazy shit, and Danielle and Aras...yeah. That was another problem I had with EI. Going into the final 7, it was 5 good characters, 2 lame. Final 6: 4 good, 2 lame. Final 5: 3 good, 2 lame. Final 4: 2 good, 2 lame. Final 3: 1 good, 2 lame. Final 2: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO ALL THE AWESOME PEOPLE?! Most disappointing final 2 ever. Had even ONE of the other 5 made the final 2, the season would've been legendary. Also, this season introduced Exile Island, which has been the bane of several seasons since, so I've gotta knock it down for that too.
