Watching Gabon right now and it's just mindblowing how even with similarly shit-show type of gameplay, the older seasons are just so much better on so many levels.
Because of the unique topography of the location the challenges were able to be more unique and interesting instead of everything just being obstacle course -> puzzle. Now every season is in the same boring location. Heck you've even got former players commenting about things that happened in the same location on their season.
The rewards were more epic, their families actually showed up for the family visit instead of the letters they do today. The people actually fished and cooked their food and had rice to eat.
And of course, people were actually allowed to be mean. Between Randy, Crystal, Corrine, it's great to see people not be kumbaya all season, especially when they vote people out. They didn't use to all tell the person how much they love them and how great of a job they did.
