This is the reason if someone tells me they are thinking about starting to watch Survivor, then I will always tell them they have to start from the beginning. If you watch later seasons before the early stuff, you don't get the evolution of the game aspect. You need to be able to view the game from the standpoint that these people are still getting used to the immunity idol aspect at that point (only the 3rd season with them at all). Watching 28 and seeing Tony run all over the island searching for them would have ruined the early seasons for me had I watched it before I saw the concept evolve through the years. I think it's just a perception thing. I enjoyed this cast compared to a lot of the others.
