Well I'm slowly going back through each season, just recently downloaded all of them and haven't really felt the need to discuss the first two (since
they are widely available on DVD) or Africa (which I like a lot but feel it is tainted by the fallen comrades challenge). But I started Marquesas a season that
Sucks love and a season which I realized I've forgotten the most about. There are all these little things in the first two episodes that I had no idea, or
completely forgot about. I remember stuff like Peter talking about holes, Sarah as Cleopatra, Kathy being very disliked, and Patricia going crazy. But others
things are very interesting like Gabriel being so defensive when Kathy got mad, John being so arrogant (I knew I didn't like him but now I know why), Sean
and Peter thanking god when getting to land.
I really might start ranking it a bit higher, I'm doing episodes 3 and 4 today but just some things of note...
-I actually liked Sarah and Patricia a lot more. Patricia kind of went crazy at the end of the six days but if she had kept cool around camp like she had early on and wasn't so abrasive she might have lasted a bit longer.
-Sarah made a lot of sense when she was talking about how nobody was listening to her. Kind of like how my opinion changed of Kim Mullen after rewatching Palau. It actually kind of made me really dislike Gina. I was surprised that I was siding with Sarah when Gina was complaining about her. Maybe Sarah wasn't doing a ton of work but she made a point that she had talked about palm fronds and Hunter just ignored her until he came up with the idea.
-Rob looks really young; after the way he started this game I am shocked that Hunter didn't try to take him out the first tribal council
-I actually felt bad for Kathy in these first two episodes instead of hating her for being so awkward in these early episodes when I first watched it, and can now see that Kathy that I fell in love with on All Stars.
And so far in these two episodes Vecepia is not as under the radar as I thought, not at all. She has had several confessionals so far and is actually pretty visible. She was actually likeable. Not even like Danni was in the beginning of Guatemala.
Haven't seen much from Rotu yet so I don't know if I will still like Neleh and Paschal like I did when I originally watched it (and at the time was still very naive on strategy) or if I will find someone else to root for. Also I've never seen the big switch up episode where John gets out so I cannot wait till I get there.
