Yeah, they got no business playing up the drama of the elimination ceremonies when they make it so blatantly obvious who's going home next long beforehand.

I was pretty angry to learn Dawn would not last beyond the fifth episode, though that news did sort of steel up for the disappointment that followed. Still, that's my biggest problem with the season, Dawn went home early. Remember when we all thought she was going to be the main hero of the season? =(

And my second biggest problem is, as I said, the villains of that season. But once I got past those two big hitches I found it decently entertaining.

Yeah, those were dramatic eliminations and rightfully so. None of those were obvious outcomes. There's another reason why Island is better. Frankly, Island got everything right what the later seasons almost never did.
