Yeah, it was pretty good that by episode 6 we'd gotten rid of all the recruits (well, but the awesome one, lol), so it was pretty good. I'm surprised by how few applied for China, but I could've SWORN Frosti applied because I remember something about him saying casting didn't want to take him but he kept showing them his parkour videos and finally convinced them to waive their then-21 age restriction to get him on.

Also a bit surprised so many of the fans in Micronesia actually applied, but it's a pleasant surprise. I know Charlie was a fan in Gabon, but had no idea Jacquie and Ace applied. I didn't expect so many people from EI were applicants though.

However, the biggest shock to me is finding out that 15 out of the 20 people from Palau actually applied since I've heard it referred to as being mactor heavy but....if 75% of the cast is applicants, wow. That actually changes my opinion on it a bit. Not really surprised about Vanuatu, PI, Amazon since I think I already knew about those.
