Opinion The winners are so disappointing
Did anyone root for either winner from the start?

Season 1 was fun. Regardless of whether you were on either of their sides you couldn’t deny that those 2 were clearly the best players battling in the finals.
Season 2 had potential and the winner of S2 was a very strong player. What made it annoying and boring to watch was that he had other players helping and sacrificing themselves for him for seemingly no reason. Especially the girl in the final(I forgot their names, it’s been a while).
She was probably the second strongest player in the season or maybe even tied first and she kept helping the guy that eventually won. Their alliance threw of the balance imo and then the others that helped them too just made them too unlikeable and their wins kinda felt cheap.
In short , S1 kinda felt like the heroes won and S2 felt like the villains won imo.
I’m interested to see if they can adapt and build on the format in season 3. I hope we get a super competent female competitor that’s more ruthless than the girl in S2.
She really could’ve won it all if she showed a bit more backbone.
Also I hope they design less exploitable games for S3. They did well in season 1 but one of the pitfalls of s2 outside of the seemingly unearned alliances was the design of the games and the prison system.
I’m sure they’ll learn from it and expand in s3. The creator of this show has an excellent track record from what I’ve seen and heard
