Thanks for pointing this out. People need to judge seasons based on their overall quality instead of how close it is to Island in terms of everything.

From what I've read, people liked Island because it was real characters in a real setting facing real problems without too many gimmicks and problems. I'm in the same boat, but Island did have just as many problems of its own as later seasons, but nostalgia goggles are a powerful thing.

From what I've seen from The Ridonculous Race so far, the show is going back to its roots with an Island-like tone and realistic characters thanks to the new theme of the season. If we're getting TDI again, it's here.
