I actually credit the rock draw in Blood vs Water for that, looking back, since that was such an iconic and groundbreaking moment after there hadn't been one since Marquesas. I feel like that moment really rejuvinated my love for the show. I just find it weird the transition happened during that season because Blood vs Water is squarely in the lower-middle of the pack when I rank seasons, and I very much prefer San Juan del Sur.

The family dynamic in BvW was very interesting, and it was the only season in my opinion in which Redemption Island worked well.

Glad to meet you as well, happy to see someone appreciates Gabon like I do. That season can never get too much love! XD
