## Reception

This season was a half-returnee season where they competed against their “loved ones” and like, this was such an improvement over the first Blood vs Water. The premerge had no reason to be this good, it’s actually the best premerge we’ve had yet. We have the essix vote out with an incorrect idol play, we have the exciting 3-2-2 vote out of Jace and the heartbreaking 5-4 tribal where Ben went home. This season also featured a premerge Redemption Island where Tris was able to come back into the game - and I’m so happy she made it (but why will be revealed later). At the merge we were introduced to the Love Auction challenge with a cheeky item of losing a vote, which was purchased by Benji for Bomber and avoided a tie at tribal with a 6-5 vote. The very next vote we see Bomber playing his idol for Caleb, which saved him in a 6\*-5 vote. At f10 we see 42IQ flip in a major way angering a few people but avoiding a 5-5 tie. This is getting long but my point is that this season was packed with people playing hard and making this an exciting season to host. The most iconic moment of the season comes in the FTC performances themselves. We have donut who posted a 31 page speech of pure text, which nobody read in its entirety and then we have Tris who posted a… uh… I don’t know how to explain it, just go watch her video speech. Best FTC speeches I have ever seen. The season ended with donut winning, who I was most excited to see return this season and I’m happy he was able to take the W. All in all this season was incredible, packed with characters, people playing hard and an FTC I will never forget about.
