If I ever make such a post, it will be after the show is over. However, my favorite seasons are (in no particular order): Redemption Island, South Pacific, All-Stars, Palau, Cook Islands, Fiji, and China.<br /><br />2. I think if you're looking at it from the perspective that Lex has a "tragic flaw" (being his "gut"), then I understand where your perspective comes from. However, I don't think the editors were intentionally crafting a Greek Tragedy specifically (though it's been a looong time since I've watched Africa).<br /><br />3. Nicaragua is about the errors of "over-playing," not the vacuum of power. Several players stepped up to be a leader--Shannon, Jimmy Johnson, Brenda, Marty--and tried to be too tactical when they were in charge, leading to followers being in the endgame.Jayemelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427813131123839074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364157838244018020.post-31660966998263702932012-01-03T22:58:24.586-05:002012-01-03T22:58:24.586-05:00A fantastic read (it says a lot about your skills ...A fantastic read (it says a lot about your skills as a writer in that your blog convinced me to give RI a second chance, and I ended up liking it in the end). I do have a few questions for you, though:<br /><br />Firstly, do you intend to make a post that ranks the seasons (in your opinion), and if not, what are your top 10?<br /><br />Second, do you think it's a fair assessment that in both of his appearances, Lex's story has been that of a Greek Tragedy?<br /><br />Finally, have you considered the possibility that, on a meta level, Nicaragua is all about the consequences of power vacuums?That Guynoreply@blogger.com
