I have to say, Philippines was one of the best seasons of Survivor I have seen. While I would have rather seen Lisa or Skupin win, I loved that the final four were all likeable and played solid games instead of coathangers who win because they were not as evil as the other finalists (I'm talking to you, Sandra). The game was truly unpredictable and the alliance of Malcolm and Denise lasting so long was unexpected. I also enjoyed this three-tribe lineup as compared to the two-tribe one - alliances were smaller and more important, as opposed to the typical five-player alliance in a two tribe season. About the only negative was the lack of a true strategic villain or anti-hero - sure, Abi was pretty horrible but she really didn't play a strategic game like Russell Hantz or Boston Rob. But overall, I really enjoyed this season and I hope future Survivor seasons can be as good as it was.
