I liked the male vs. female twist at the beginning, but once again, like all Survivor twists, it was done away with way too quickly. I wish they had kept it around a bit longer. I was immediately rooting for the female tribe to demolish the male tribe just because of how overconfident the male tribe was. The men immediately became obsessed with the women and their looks. It kind of grossed me out a bit. The entire vibe surrounding the "hot women" this season was just weird to me. This is the season with the famous "hot girls take off their tops for peanut butter" scene. All of it just rubbed me the wrong way. I haven't seen another season of Survivor that was like this one in that way and I'm thankful for it. I found a lot of the men this season to be forgettable. I forgot Butch was even there after a while (but boy did he find a way to make me remember when he burned down the whole camp). I think it's telling that none of them, except Rob have ever come back and done another season of Survivor. The women, on the other hand, were a bit more memorable. JoAnna was beyond annoying with her incessant preaching. I liked Deena a little bit and was rooting for her. Christy (Survivor's first deaf contestant) was compelling to watch from the very beginning. At times, she was not the most pleasant person, but she provided entertainment nonetheless. Shawna was such a waste of a contestant. She wanted to quit and then basically got wrapped up in flirting with the boys. What an idiot. Neither Heidi nor Jenna were all that interesting. Just pretty faces with little substance. I don't think the winner of this season deserved to win, but I also don't think the runner-up would have deserved to win either. I feel like Deena or Rob or Christy should have won this season.
