This was the first season where the two oldest contestants got to choose their own tribes. My opinion is that it was a bad mistake by the producers to do that this early on in the history of the show (it was done in later seasons and worked fine, except Ulong in Palau). One tribe was nothing but young people that were dysfunctional, and the other tribe was nothing but older people (minus Tanya). I think if the producers would have assigned the tribes, this season would have had a lot of potential. The people in the season aren't bad or boring at all, just the way things were played out made it suck. Also, the fake merge messed everything up. This is the reason why Shii Ann is the season's only All-Star. Poor production. Also, Sook Jai was pagonged post-merge. Too bad... So much potential
