    Most seasons of Survivor are a game. Gabon lives up to the true question that Survivor (supposedly) asks: "Can a bunch of strangers form a new society in the untamed wilderness?"
    In this case, the answer was a resounding "No." It is truly an epic season and belongs in the top ten. Not because anyone made some big game plays, not because anyone deserved to win, but because it actualized the founding idea of Survivor. That being a televised social experiment.

They'd come into my office and whine to me about her. Told them just give it some time. Eventually she was at least respected if not loved. I've had several managers since then and none of them have lived up to the bar she set. People who speak straight to the truth are rare in this world.

(When based on her challenge performances and the amount of tribemates she got into arguments with and not on her alliances, that is.) I just loved watching her burn everything down and would _love_ to see her return to see how she would play a second time!
    EDIT: Look, I get it, what she did with using steroids was _not_ okay. However, I try not to judge people as I’ve never walked their path, in their shoes, with their brains and emotions. None of you have _any_ idea who/what was pressuring her to do the steroids. Was it her coach? Someone else with a lot of power over her? Maybe. Maybe not. I’m damn sure that none of y’all know the facts though. I certainly hope none of you are ever in a situation where you’re harshly judged for something by tons of people who are clueless when it comes to *any* of the details and her mental/emotional state, as well as the pressure(s) she was under. I’m sure you’ll just continue to be cut and dry/black and white judgmental assholes as that is *clearly* who you all are.
    Also, she wasn’t on steroids on Survivor, thus it should have *nothing* to do with her being brought back. She was a *fantastic* television character, which is an incredibly important detail. Plus, I’d say that there’s an excellent chance that she’s grown leaps and bounds over the years and she deserves to show the world that. Though that’s probably far beyond y’all’s emotional reasoning skills as well. Shocking. Haters. LOL.

    This is, quite literally, the only season of Survivor I have ever watched fully. I don't like reality tv but my mom does. She watched this season as it aired and saw it peripherally for a few episodes before becoming insanely invested. Sugar was my favorite and my mom and I make jokes about the Sugar Shack still. The fake idol. The oldest winner in Survivor history. What a wild ride this was.
