itsaustin I agree I think people are far more down on it than it should be
It had some truly iconic moments and that premerge was beautiful
even the merge wasn't extremely straightforward gameplay wise, my biggest gripe personally is the editing; early strong edit combined with how rough they made him look in the finale showed brad making it to the end initially, then you could tell he was getting 2nd/3rd, Troy's INV edit showed he would be mostly inconsequential to the results and he'd probably get 3rd/4th, Aubrey's INV edit showed the same as Troyzan, Andrea went from INV most premerge to a spike right at merge, Sarah got an obvious winner edit imo
^^^^^^^
Cirie helped this season a lot. The winner was great. But overall we lost so many of the big names that everyone wanted to see (Tony, Sandra, Malcom, etc) and so many robbed players it just kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. A lot of things went unexplained and the editing was really bad. The way Aubry was edited still makes me mad
