As to my personal opinion, I don't think that this is another "dark era". Yes, most of the castaways (including Adam) played somewhat sloppy this season, but as a viewer, it was exciting to watch. It wasn't like Redemption Island where everyone just sat on their hands, and waited to be voted out, almost everyone was playing, and trying to make big moves; sometimes it worked out, sometimes it didn't. Hell, they even went to rocks! This might have not been the best season, but it was a lot of fun to watch, and I still think it was pretty good. I wasn't comparing. I never said this was worse than OW or this dark era has been worse than the first one (22-26, actually).

I don't care about big moves for the sake of big moves. If I don't care about the players, the season will suck for me regardless of the outcome. And that is exactly the agenda they are trying to sell now: you HAVE to make big moves and the jury CAN'T have negative feeling for those who voted them out. I don't think that's the angle they're trying to push at all; fact is, they simply had a peaceful cast this season. Especially knowing we have a returnee season coming, it's almost guaranteed negative feelings are about to return big time.

EDIT: Well yeah, agreed on the big moves part. They are, though. That's one of the things Jeff has been praying this season for since the beggining, because he thinks he can't accept Michele's winning. And they even had Michelle answering a question about it after the reunion was already over.
