And I guess I owe you my overall, initial thoughts based on said information:

Obviously, I think this was one of the best all-returning casts of all time. With the exceptions of Varner, Ciera, Sierra, Sandra, and Tai, I was genuinely excited for pretty much everyone else who returned: Especially Brad and Troyzan (after me insisting they both deserved a second shot for YEARS now...and believe me, they didn't disappoint. <3), and Andrea. While former all-stars like Tony, Malcolm, and J.T. kinda crashed and burned, it was so great to see others exceed expectations, and I actually think this was one of the best Final Three's in a long time, where all of them were good. This was among the most perfect instances of the winner being someone who definitely deserved a second shot because they genuinely were a good player, and likely would have gone just as far the first time had it not been for a mistake. I remember agreeing with you back during Cagayan that Sarah absolutely had huge potential had it not been for her getting cocky in that season, thus letting her guard down and allowing Tony to get rid of her; but she absolutely fixed that mistake this time around, and went on to become a deserving winner from a solid Final Three.

With that said, though...I'm still getting ever-more tired of the really reaching names they keep coming up with for the seasons. As amazing as the cast was, I had a genuinely hard time calling any of them "Game Changers," other than Sandra and Ozzy. All-Stars? Sure. But Game-Changers? No way.

And the new season...are you freaking KIDDING me with that title? For real, whatever happened to seasons with just the location name as the title? They've been kinda mixing both together recently - Cambodia/Second Chance, Game Changers/Mamanuca Islands...Can they just STOP with stretching for a gimmicky title and just go with something simple, please? -_-
