That's kinda one reason why I didn't like it - I don't want picture postcard holiday camp destinations in a show that's supposed to be about surviving the harsh elements I liked Palau but the location was one of the worst things about it (except the occasional WW2 vehicle shots) Africa/Guatemala/Amazon murky depressing realism <3 I agree. I really don't mind if the location is beautiful but the CI was so boring. It was a great contrast with the location.

It reminded me of how many forgettable characters there were though. Rocky was pretty much the narrator and highlight of the pre-merge/first seven episodes. Very underrated character.

Episode 6 is where it really got good, it's a shame not many people gave it a chance before that and went into the season further with less-than-optimism. Truth is, other than Stacy, Cassandra, and Boo, the entire final 13 was pretty good. Mookie and Edgardo were a bit annoying but the rest was pretty good. Yes, Earl was an obvious winner but it's a shame many people forget about all the big events in Fiji that were great just because the general consensus is that it's shitty. Is it a good season? No, but it's not bad either. It's right inbetween and it was a lot more interesting than the pre-merge of Cook Islands and most of the post-merge and it beats the hell out of Guatemala, Palau, and and the post-merge of All-Stars. I give it a 6/10. I rather enjoyed Stacy & her rampant bitchiness: refusing to show Cassandra & Dreamz how to use the French Press to make coffee...refusing to include Cassandra & Dreamz in "anything" when the guys tried to convince her to be nicer in prep for the merge...eavesdropping in the bushes with Cassandra and finding out about Yau Man's Idol...hiding food from Boo in the "hidden scene"...convincing Yau Man's alliance to turn on him and vote 4-2 against him at F6 (lucky he played that Idol!). And finally, Stacy set up the best moment of the season: suggesting to Boo, Cassandra, Earl, and Yau-Man that they vote off Edgardo and not tell Dreamz about this change so that the boys wouldn't have a chance to play the II, in case Dreamz had loose lips.

I almost feel like if they took all 19 people and placed them on separately on other seasons they would have done better. Imagine Rocky in Brazil with coach and Dre in Vanuatu with Lee and Scout and Stacy in FVF with Tracey and Kathy and all them.... granted you could probably say the same about most seasons but I just liked the people by themselves and not all together as a group.

On a second viewing, it was actually less entertaining than I remembered, but still, it's a decent season that does not deserve to be lumped in with CI. Dreamz, Yau, Rocky, and Lisi were all absolutely fantastic characters. Earl, Boo, Alex, Mookie, Anthony, and Sylvia were all decent. Yes, Earl was a predictable winner, but the post-merge challenges kept things interesting and I think there were some really great moments.

I just bought Fiji on ITunes and eagerly anticipate getting to the episode where he goes into "ninja mode"....And MAN, Fiji definitely has best jury questions ever.

It also gave us Yau-Man, the most annoying castaway ever. . The fact it was such a male dominated cast did hurt though, I think Lisi was the only woman given a decent edit - despite having great charatcers like Michelle, Stacy and Sylvia
