Well at least from the switch on. Episode 6 is where it really got good, it's a shame not many people gave it a chance before that and went into the season
further with less-than-optimism. Truth is, other than Stacy, Cassandra, and Boo, the entire final 13 was pretty good. Mookie and Edgardo were a bit annoying
but the rest was pretty good. Yes, Earl was an obvious winner but it's a shame many people forget about all the big events in Fiji that were great just
because the general consensus is that it's shitty. Is it a good season? No, but it's not bad either. It's right inbetween and it was a lot more
interesting than the pre-merge of Cook Islands and most of the post-merge and it beats the hell out of Guatemala, Palau, and and the post-merge of All-Stars. I
give it a 6/10.

You're right. Fiji isn't so bad on the second viewing....it's worse.

I've still only seen Fiji once, but I think the Dreamz hate is blown way out of proportion.

I didn't hate the people in Fiji, I think it could have been a cool season if there was no rich tribe/poor tribe twist, also no tribe pick'em. Maybe
things could have been more even. The production choices that season are the ones that fucked it.

Cassandra was the star of this season, she truly is saint-worthy.

Fiji is the only season where I felt that the twist truly lessened my enjoyment of the season.

the best part about the entire fiji season was the epic intro theme.

Most of the more predictable reality show seasons are more enjoyable the second-time around since even you already know how it turns out and get to focus more
on the nuances than the development of the game (see also TAR13). I always thought Fiji had a good cast - the game just spiralled in a really unimpressive and
uninteresting way.
The pagonging of the Horsemen is still one of the dullest stretches of episodes post-All Stars, though. it beats the hell out of Guatemala,Guatemala and Exile Island are the only post-All Stars seasons I really like  They're the only ones with good stories.

To say Fiji is better than Guatemala is to be a crazy, lying troll. There, I said it.

I haven't watched Fiji over again yet, but I did rewatch Cook Islands and THAT was a million times worse.

it is a mystery wrote:The only good parts of Cook Islands was the incredibly epic finale and the merge episode. Other than that, skip it. Fiji is really made out to be worse than it was. A shit twist and a slow start really brought it down but overall it's a better season on second viewing, so I agree with the thread poster. Earl love<3 |

Watching Sundra and Ozzy decline to flush out an idol, Sundra and Becky not know how to make fire, and the biggest vomit inducing love fest jury questioning ever is not epic in any way. Neither is the most predictible episode in Survivor history where either Nate leaves, or Yul plays the idol and Nate leaves. |

Would it really have been even more epic had Ozzy and Sundra flushed out Yul's idol and then have him go at 4? Oh that's a fun finale....Ozzy vs. Becky and Sundra. We already saw that with Fiji (although I think Dreamz deserved at least one vote). |

This could be me, but I thought the Mutiny episode was much better than the finale in CI...
