The winner takes all
And boy how.
Let me prelude everything by saying - this season, objectively - was not bad.
They switched up the concept a bit and it worked wonders, changing the game to have at least one elimination at the end of a game day was a really good move.
The players - they got the brief. They came, they played, some of them slayed. They played within alliances, they played individualistic strategies, they even played their own alliances to get ahead and this is where it started getting on my nerves.
Nothing wrong with doing that, at the end of the day, you need to do that in this game and I'm completely sure not one person who actually played the game would feel chided or put off by it.. but I did.
Oof, I did not like this season as much as the first one. The winner in season 1 absolutely deserved to win, and the winner here probably did as well, but it's hard for me to see it.
The concept of the show is to literally manipulate your way to the top and the winner did exactly that, and oh so perfectly, but call it me being a goody - goody or whatever, I just really didn't like it.
The first few episodes were exciting, things were just getting started, I had anxiety watching every single episode, you know, fun.
But the more I watched it became incredibly obvious what was going to happen.. come on.. there was no way anyone but the person who won could have won. And just like that it got boring.
Netflix sort of baited me into watching until the end by pushing me on the UNEXPECTED twists and eliminations, but there was nothing unexpected about that. If you're watching and you think you know who's going to win, stick with your gut, you're probably right.
To be completely honest, I did not like any of the people who got to the semi finals by the time they got to the semi finals, and I could not have cared less who advanced and won, but I watched it and.. it was fine I guess. I wasn't really having fun by the end, what with all the betrayal and manipulation.
Maybe it's me, maybe I'm a little too emotional to be watching people behave this ruthless and crafty, and maybe someone else can see the rational side of this. But I'm going to stick with my emotional side and say.. I didn't really enjoy this.
