And I find it funny when people say that EI was predictable, yet praise the hell out of China. Wasn't China even more predictable?
In Panama, we only knew towards the end that it was Aras and Cirie calling the shots. Up until that point, we didn't know if the final 2 was going to be Aras/Shane, Danielle/Courtney, Cirie/Danielle etc. Plus add Terry's immunity streak which made a good wild card.
In China, they made it obvious from the very beginning that Todd and Amanda were final 2. Once Jean-Robert got kicked out, it was confirmed. The only thing that was somewhat surprising is that a lot of us thought Amanda would win.
I think the reason China love is overblown here is that Todd and Courtney pretty much embody your typical Sucks poster. It's like they were watching themselves dominate a season of Survivor.
Which is why EI and China are my two least favorite seasons ever (even below CI/Fiji), with EI being my overall least favorite because it didn't even have a new location. The sole reason why both were popular here was that they had 16 castaways, which gives people the illusion that the characters are memorable.
The reason China is loved is that everyone was honestly trying to win or a great character. Of the F10, only Frosti was a dud.
at not thinking Erik, Denise, Amanda, and Jaime were duds.
