Though I saw S1 rebroadcast during the Olympics and was a casual viewer of S2, I really only became a big fan watching Kathy in S4 and Jenna Mm and Rob C in S6. I like strong female characters and good gameplay postmerge. So Micronesia was like a return to the golden age for me.

I really think you need some kind of switch or twist every season - the "purity" of the early seasons breeds boring pagonging. I liked how in Micronesia those who lost did so through their own stupidity. I hate seeing people pagonged just because the producers stocked the other tribe with more physically strong males. That one issue I have with China.
