Talk:Survivor: Gabon/@comment-8680179-20140625081204

I just finished a rewatch of this season, and I have to say I liked it a lot better than I did when I first saw it on its original run. My first impression of Gabon from its original airing was of just 'meh', and I definitely saw why I thought that. There were definitely some meh moments, especially early on in the season and also with very forgettable challenges, but overall, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed watching Fang's troubles, Kota getting overthrown and the game in general that was played. And unlike some other people, I'm actually happy that Bob won.

The one thing that definitely surprised me was how insightful Randy was, and it made me appreciate him a lot more as a player. One moment that surprised me was when I was definitely rooting for when Crystal and (especially) Kenny were taken down a notch and voted off, even though I remember originally liking both of them. Matty also had some good insight in the mid-game but we didn't hear much from him about the game after the merge...

So in conclusion Gabon definitely beat my expectations, it was actually a solidly entertaining season!
