Survivor Marquesas was another season I had a hard time
sitting through.
I don’t really even know why, I just wasn’t excited for
anything. Which is odd; because I enjoy a lot of the contestants, some of the
challenges are good and the game play is fairly solid.
Here are the thoughts I have looking back on this season I
no real order:
-Vecepia is not a good winner. She did not win, Neleh lost.
-I feel bad for Neleh, she played fairly well, but sort of lost out to a bitter jury. Not In the same way Russell Hantz did in Samoa (we’ll get to that), but she never really did anything wrong, she just had no way to convince to Rotu 4 that she deserved to win, because those 4 couldn’t handle losing to her. Sucks for her. Oh my heck, want my mint?
-Kathy got robbed. This season like many others of this era had the one person who deserved to win the most come in third.
-That purple rock is a bitch. Sucks they screwed the pooch here and actually ruined Survivor by making everyone scared of final 4 ties. They should always make the tie breaker rules known to the players ahead of time.
-Sean was the center of some of the best moments. The trip with Paschal and his voting confession when John is eliminated and stuff of Survivor Legend
-John was doing well but let mid-game success cloud his mind.
-I have to give Rob credit for trying. The guy was in a no win situation after that tribe swap. Kind of like Silas. I can’t fault the guy, pure dumb luck. (Although the fact Gabe was voted out and not him kind of balances that out)
-I really wish Rotu lost the last tribal immunity challenge, Gina deserved to go farther.
-That being said, I love the scene where John considers throwing it and Tammy tells him no.

That’s about it… The season wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t all
that good. It was consistently average viewing.
