From: edwardsdv | #250 Crim, everytime i remember youre an architect, I imagine you starring in a How I met Your Mother where Ted is a lesbian. Its a better show. This sounds amazing. Except minus lesbian Ted and add lesbian Robin. Back when she had long hair.

Well Iwas implying that YOU were lesbian Ted.
So yeah Robin would naturally also be a lesbian.

And, believe it or not, I actually enjoy rewatching Samoa. I've rewatched it more than most of the seasons. It has a really fun plot and some good characters.
Samoa is so good. Not to mention it was the last season where post-merge > pre-merge, which used to be the norm. You could make a case for saying HvV was the last, but I think that season was pretty even all the way through, and pre-merge had Coach, Tyson blindside, and a bunch of other goodies.
Oh My God, this Jean-Robert Camp Life stuff is hysterical. When did they get rid of camp life. This is easily the best part of the good seasons. Maybe id have cared about Kim winningfor instance, if the ygave me some reason t connect with her.

From: edwardsdv | #259 When did they get rid of camp life. I know, I've been asking myself the same thing while watching Amazon. Bring back more camp life so we can actually get to know these people imo.

ALso I think it says alot about the number of characters here where pre-merge, the guys i know from all-star seasons are like barely important at all. I mean like Amanda who I KNOW is important, has done like jack. James has been a constant character but its surprising me how important say PG and Erik and even like Jean-Robert and Cherea are. Hell TOdd has basically been the main character of Fei Long, which surprised me.

From: CycloRaptor | #265 That is why China is such a great season, almost everyone is a good character, pre and post merge. And it balances strategy and camp life well. Like the single like most BORING character is Denise and shes got that Sue Hawk thing going for her. Actually AMANDA and Frosti are the two that are most invisible so theres that.

solid winner, but man my heart was NOT in it for the finale. Otherwise solid. Reminds me of Pearl Islands in terms of quality. Was that all you did the past two days? >_>
Also yeah 1 boot final episodes are a bit dull. Watch Gabon or Amazon next!
I haven't seen the whole season despite trying a few years ago, the early episodes were sooo boring. But I may as well give it another shot, since I only know the first boot and the final 3 boots.
Three episodes down, Micronesia is better than I recall.
I felt the same way when I rewatched it. It was my #1 Bottom ranked season before my rewatch, and it's barely out of my Bottom 5 right now. *Micronesia Spoilers* It really did have a fantastic pre-merge, despite all the interesting characters being eliminated. I think what made the season not as bad on a rewatch, was the fact that I knew all this. So instead of getting angry, I just accepted it for what it was. So I enjoyed all my favorites when they were still around, but I tried to enjoy the people who made it far too. I remember completely hating Natalie the first time, but she kind of entertained me the last time I saw that season. I still wasn't impressed with Parvati though, but at least I was glad she won over Amanda this time.
Also I'm confused, trying to find the real episode 4 now.
Yau-Man got eliminated day 8 at the end of Episode 3. But on the two channels I tried for episode 4, at the beginning of the recap Jeff says "By the beginning of Day 10 the fans..."
Ugh, annoying. >_> May just skip and look up videos of the challenges.
Edit: Nevermind, watched the rest of the intro and it turns out this is indeed episode 4, beginning on day 9. Jeff must have screwed up.
Why me specifically? A lot of this board doesn't like that season. The whole board did a season ranking sometime after RI, and Micronesia was like.....3rd or 4th from last.
