Another HUGE shocker. All Stars brought the very best of the first seven seasons together to..... hand Bingo/Gaia a win. This is one of the best cast in all of group games, and a LOT of older players that made it very disspoiting to see only one realy shot being taken at each Bingo and Gaia, and only one of which was to stop the duo.
Now I would not call this season bad by any means. Despite how predictable this season was, the journey to get that point was actually REALLY good, you know after there where 11 people left.
The pre-merge was a snorefest. It was pretty much everyone trying to take control and those who didnt let all the idiots pick themselves off. Despite this the pre-merge was dull even with Kuna Yala being a HORRIBLE tribe, and yet Embera was the tribe that only had one person left.
Overall despite all that happened. The merge crew was also pretty predictable. Both Jakes, Aly, Britt, WC, Juilan, Ryan, Zach, Dave, Stoner, and Bingo. Overall, this season was Jarrod wins immuinty and the majority allaince of Dave, Zach, Ryan, Juilan, Gaia and Stoner being a complete fucking mess attempt to work together with Jake/WC/Britt and having 100 versions of each allaince somehow still mange to be the top 7.
Again, this was predictable however and so was Juilan's big move. His allaince of Him/Zach went against the pair of Stoner/Bingo and pulled in the Dave/Ryan pair however due to the Odd Tribals twist jarrod's immuinty win, nullfied his 4 votes and blindsided Juilan.
The rest of the season was a simple destruction fo what was left of those who turned on Bingo/Gaia who all turned on eachother in order to stay alive.
At finals Bingo was destroyed for backstabbing every single juror espically due to his past realtionships with the cast. Gaia was commented on for not really doing anything, but kept his hand clean of a lot of blood. Thankfully Bingo, who played one of the best games to date, won in a 5-4 vote.
So aside from the Zach vs Brittney fight this season lacked in drama, it was kinda predictable but again the allainces where such a fucking hot mess, the merge was a really good journey.But either do to a bigger clusterfuck or better drama this season just cannot stand up to the other 8.
Fun Facts:
1- Jarrod currently holds the record for most immuinty wins in a season with 6. Mearl is tied with this 2x winning 6 challenges in both Cagayan and Blood vs Water.
2- Gaia was the first person to make it the Final Tribal 2x in Gen 2. Jason and Juilan did it before him if you count gen 1 seasons, and Mearl had done it afterwards. Both him and Mearl remain the only 2 to do it gen 2, making it to the end 3 times each.
