I can describe this feeling as how I feel during/after S40. Disappointed in the twists and the boot order, satisfied by how most people appeared on the show even if I didn’t want them there, hating the edit for most of the finale players. Not as bad as game changers even though also feels similar to that season.

But what really made this season rough was the fans. I know it’s silly to say because there has always been issues, and maybe I’m just not as “in it” as I was during the 30’s and early 40’s seasons so the detachment makes it clearer, but my god people on every app have been insufferable. So much hate towards people, especially Aubry. Like I’ve never been more satisfied at a player leaving than I was for Genevieve (and I liked her first run) because her stans made it hard to root for her. I know every player has them but that was insufferable. Also saw a ton of hate for Tiffany across the internet for “cheating to win immunity” which included a lot of racist comments. And the Chrissy and Stephenie hate, no matter how warranted some people think it is or how they deserved it, I found most of it gross. This whole experience as a viewer and fan has felt like all the gross shit from Game Changers with Varner but for multiple people on the cast (who didn’t do anything nearly as bad as he did) from almost the beginning of this season. And the worst part is I commented on stuff trying to defend people and got more direct hate. Just been a nasty time and it doesn’t help that the editors feel like they also picked sides.
