Oh man. I had a feeling something was up. But yeah, I'm familiar with the army situation over there; I hope you're doing well in your service! And I look forward to being able to talk to you whenever we can. But I perfectly understand now your absence from the Wiki.

All I can say is...you were right, my friend. About this season. I now feel that this season is perfectly mediocre. I'm not sure if your opinion will be changed much by the last few episodes, finale, and outcome...but all I can say is that I now feel this season was a giant clusterf***, with bad editing that really failed to properly foreshadow the true outcome, a winner who, if not undeserving, was definitely BORING, and the whole mess just leaves...a really strange taste in my mouth that leans more towers bitter than sweet. A lot of people on Sucks are already declaring that this may be the latest prime example of an otherwise good season with a really crappy ending/winner. :P

All I can say is; I wish I had your outlook that the season was just dry and forgettable. Unlike you, I made the mistake of getting way too invested in it, and instead thinking it was middle-of-the-road because of so many ups and downs. Thus, it disappointed me harder because I invested in it more, as opposed to someone like you who just kinda stopped caring. Believe me; I wish I could forget this season. :P

And the worst part? The trailer for next season was AWFUL. I have a baaaaad feeling that next season could suck too...in a nutshell, the trailer only focused on SIX of the contestants, and not even two of each of the attributes/tribes like expected, just...six random people. This COULD be foreshadowing who goes far, and if so, this season's potential final six will SUCK because they all seem REALLY obnoxious. And then, as if the cast wasn't bad enough...the second half of the trailer displays a TON of medevacs and cases of medical being called in, as Probst declares this to be the most punishing season ever. Like...seriously? Whoever had the bright idea to deliberately market this season based on MEDEVACS, often one of the most uncomfortable things to watch in all of Survivor, needs to be fired.

So I'll wait for your thoughts on this basic response, and hope you can get caught up sometime soon. If you really want to get caught up, you could just read the Wikipedia article, because trust me; you won't lose a lot of exciting viewing experiences by not watching the episodes. :P

Until next time! And once more, best of luck in the service!
