Wafflez, I am so glad that you had such a fun time writing this season because I honestly had such a fun time reading it. It was quite the experience from beginning to end, but like I told you in chat, it is safe to say that Koh Khang Khao has rightfully earned its place as my new favorite season of yours. It certainly wasn't perfect, but just like Maldives, the positives brightly outshined the negatives.

Starting with the negatives, there were really only two things that were a disappointment to me this season: Derek's confessional count and Peter. Since the first one bears no explanation, I'll talk about Peter.

I think I can sum Peter up pretty well by calling him the Olay of this season. Such an annoying forced edit of someone I'm "supposed" to root for despite him having zero personality whatsoever aside from being a self-righteous and condescending prick. I don't care what the bitch says, this episode was the THIRD FUCKING TIME he's mentioned his story about his leg on the show to others. He can claim that he's not using it as a sob story all he wants, someone who was actually doing that wouldn't need to talk about it so much. So he can shut up with that shit already :P

The thing about sob story characters with me is that the sob stories are ultimately worthless if I don't like someone's personality. The minute that I was turned off by Peter, the minute I stopped caring about whatever he was crying about. Point blank. And, just gonna be honest, Peter did not play that impressive of a game. He was pulled into an alliance that he stupidly fumbled with at the merge and was lucky enough to be brought information by Betty and Dakoda so as to unsuccessfully flip at the final eight. Like, his play to save himself at the Benny boot was smart and entertaining, but aside from finding idols and having his alliance with Dakoda, that's all he really did. To me, Dakoda was always the stronger player overall, so it sucks to see Peter get rewarded for his lackluster gameplay when they did more of the heavy lifting imo.

Anyway, I've rambled about Peter and his annoyingness long enough. Safe to say now though that the "awesome winner" streak for your seasons has officially been ended. Peter can take that million dollars back home and stay there because I don't want to see his or Corinne's sorry asses back on another season for a good long while. Sorry, not sorry.

Anyway, onto the positives xD And I can't believe I'm even saying this, but thank the fucking LORD that we had Betty here to make this finale amazing. Seriously, if Betty wasn't here I think I would've fallen asleep two paragraphs in because the other three were putting me to sleep with how boring they were being. Betty not only stirred shit up this episode, but she also DRAGGED Peter and Dakoda through the mud this episode at both the Final 4 and Final 3 Tribal Councils and, as surprised as I was to see it coming out of HER of all people, it felt SO good to have someone call both of them on their bullshit.

Betty is still a complete dumbass who walked ass backwards into her runner-up position, but I was absolutely living for her being the star of this finale, keeping Elvis' airheaded ass in the game while also calling Dakoda on her wishy-washy self. Her stock went way back up with me and I am SO relieved to be leaving the season on a good note with her.

Dakoda, even though they were probably the best player of the season, definitely deserved what they had coming. They played their whole situation HORRIBLY and had the fucking AUDACITY to try and Spencer Bledsoe/Jenn Brown the jury like the annoying cunt that they are! Again, from an overall season long perspective, I like Dakoda. But they were nothing short of an idiot this episode that got served by the retiree with a pea's worth of knowledge about the game.

This season though, so amazing, Wafflez. I feel like you really did address a lot of my critiques from previous seasons. The twists this season were done sparingly and I thought they were always interesting but never too powerful or damning to someone's game. The theme was done amazingly as well, loved the whole vacation theme and I think it fit some of this cast (AKA Olivia) perfectly.

The cast was super strong too. There wasn't one person holding up the entire season like in Nikumaroro or a whole host of invisibles or unlikables like in Myanmar, it was a great group with people who were rootable, complex, entertaining, or sometimes all three!

For All-Stars, I think that Betty, Dakoda, BG, January, Benny, and even Derek Dumbledore are all good candidates while Ivan, Ashley, Angel, Halle, and Tim would all be suitable second chancers as well :)

This season has been amazing and I'm so glad to have gotten back into your series. You will always be one of my favorite writers on this Wiki, all the way back to when I stumbled on your second season in Canada and fell in love with a blonde trainwreck named Whitney xD Keep doing what you're doing because you know that you'll always have my undying support behind you! :)

I'm so excited to see what you bring in Hashima, it sucks that this season is over but I know that you're gonna serve us up another hell of a ride with your tenth go-round and I am living for it! <3<3<3
