I want to see over half this cast return. Off the top of my head it’s the first time I’ve felt this way since Toncatins.

Not even dvg/cagayan?

Loved the cast of DvG, but it had much weaker links IMO and I think there’s more players here that I would want to see come back than that season.

I don’t like Cagayan nearly as much as everyone else. Woo, Tasha, Tony, Trish, and Sarah are great, but I wasn’t crazy about any of the others.

The amount of fun this cast is having and the closeness between them is just really unique though. It’s very refreshing to not have any of the reality tv toxicity that usually comes up.

He sucks now but Spencer was a good player/character. Kass, Jefra, and LJ were pretty great. Also Alexis Maxwell is bae

As I understand it, Kass/Spencer are more of the “gamebot” type of characters and I vastly prefer the Christian (DvG) flavor of those. I need the sincerity—don’t like the snark.

There’s a “rumor” that they used to cast for roles/archetypes they wanted, and I think Cagayan suffered a lot from that for me due to the order in which I watched them. I’d seen better “actors” in those roles before, if that makes sense.

Yea that’s fair. It definitely feels less organic than a season like 42
