My Thoughts: (WARNING: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)

Characters: Okay, let's get started. All the characters are amazing in the idea that this is not like the other seasons. In the original cast, there were simple characters with complex personalities, (save for a few that shall remain nameless. *Cough, cough, Ezekiel, cough*) In the second generation, it was more over the top with a few characters, but most of them were dare I say normal. In the third generation however, every character is over the top, with a sort of fantasy-like cliche that I found a bit discouraging, but found to enjoy it. Some were more developed than others, and some I came to love while some became my least favorites, (*Cough, cough, Dave, cough, Rodney, cough, cough*) I mean they had an Evil Villain, no two. A Zombie Nut, an Outdoor Survivalist, Twins, an Olympic Athlete, and even a Wizard, for crying out loud.

Plot: Honesty time. I was dissapointed to find out that the island was artificial and robotic. Don't get me wrong; that had some great plot points, but it dulled the whole 'survivor' aspect. Now on to that. I've never seen Survivor; but I've heard it's great. The idea that they're making it more Survivor is good, but it's hard to watch for a diehard fan who expects cabins and Chef Hatchet chopping up stray racoons for the brown lumps with gray sauce. (or is it gray lumps with brown sauce?) It was interesting to see foraging, but come on. If Chris could afford to comission a robotic island complete with killer animitronic animals, you'd think he could have at least bought two crappy cabins and maybe a dining tent or something.

Overall, this is my third favorite season. All the right characters made it far with the exception of a few that I didn't think deserved the million, (Cough, Sky, cough, cough) but World Tour and Island take the cake for me.
