Got round to finishing Vanuatu.
Spoiler:
I really,
really enjoyed it. For a season that doesn't have much hype surrounding it, I wasn't expecting much. But now I feel that it's quite underrated within the Survivor community. The gender divide actually worked well, although I wasn't looking forward to watching another male vs. female type thing so soon. I enjoyed the long-run of the season much more due to the tribe split, and Yasur may be one of my favourite tribes to endure so far. The scenes with Dah were great, I loved that they sang him off the beach
but the general craziness and dynamic of the all-female tribe was just fun to watch
I don't think Chris deserved his win, and personal feelings from the jury unfairly cost Twila of hers. I don't see how people can give any credit to Chris' game when Scout basically offered him to ride her & Twila's coattails, and Twila was the one who figured that they needed Eliza's vote. He just did a good job of arse-licking when it came to the ftc (and I love Scout for calling it out).
Ami Cusack may be one of my favourite Survivors of all time, definitely (at this moment) in the top 5 somewhere. I just love how much of an alpha-female she is, but also how she comes across serene whilst doing so. Any moment involving Amy was a good one, like when she passively told Lisa she was voting her off right to her face
, John. K putting the immunity necklace around her, to which she couldn't have looked more disgusted for whatever reason
& calling out Travis for being such a dumb ass
she really was an ethereal goddess who was amazing whenever she was on screen
Also, this season brought my favourite loved one visits. The whole thing was so emotional, from Twila saying she can't type, to Scout & her lesbian lover being reunited
Oh, and when Eliza's mum left and then gave her the shirt of her back
Definitely a season to be looked back on fondly <3 final cast rankings:
