Yeah, I think Gabon was a much better season than this one.... in like every way. Not even close. Better location, better cast, more unpredictable. And its
pagoning was even satisfying because the alliance doing the pagonging was so dysfunctional and hilarious. The only thing that Tocantins has on Gabon is that
its finale/ending were satisfying while Gabon's ending was a huge let-down.

You know what, as much as I disliked most of the assholes in Gabon, I actually cared about the outcome of the season and the finale was very surprising (even
if the winner was one of the least deserving strategy-wise).
And though, with the exception of Coach, I liked most of the Tocantins cast members, they were pretty much bland and I didn't really care who won. Yeah, I'd hang out with them over the Gabon peeps, but jerks like Ace, Randy, Crystal, and Corinne really made for more entertaining television. |

Brendan and Coach definitely would have voted for JT.
Sierra/Taj to Erinn. Debbie and Tyson would have been swayable. And if Joe was now on the jury, he would go to JT (ETA: I forgot about the Erinn/Joe alliance. I dunno, maybe he would have gone for her. WHo knows?). I think it would've been close if Erinn had been an option. I definitely think she could have spoken better than either of the boys did. |

sadly, even though debbie was closest to erinn, debbie was still closer to jt. taj wouldn't want to appear to be bitter, and sierra never indicated that
she liked erinn at all. Plus Brendan said that JT had a beautiful soul.

If Stephenie was in this season, JT would've left a LONG ass time ago. He ate too much.

This season was like BB10- bland people you didn't really care about and a couple douchebags thrown in, with an older awesome person that never had a
chance (Renny/Sandy <3)
Also, I really could do without seeing another Bromance F2 after having 2 back to back on BB and now Survivor having one. It's kinda played out. |

Tocantins blew. Next season would be better even if they had 24 contestants. As long as none of those 24 are Coach.

Tocantins made me realize that Gabon wasn't that great of a season. I already miss this cast more than I ever did that of Gabon.

Earlier merge and this will rock! More chances to save characters like Tracy.
