Hooked from Episode 1 !

I'm sad to see the show come to an end but now we get to see our boys DEBUT and I couldn't be happier!!!

-Things I loved about the show: seeing how nervous they were in the first episode meeting each other and performing for the first time vs. how much they have grown over the past few months. Watching them come to appreciate the different qualities of each other and notice each others' strengths evolve was really touching. I appreciated the global voting because it made us feel energized to be a part of something so important!
I also loved the ability for grounders to be voted up to i-landers but I wish it would have been shaken up more (seemed like the same 5 or 6 people never even got close to being chosen to go to ground even though a couple maybe could have).
-Things I didn't love: the "clique"-yness of the OG i-landers vs grounders really put a bad taste in my mouth until they got to part two of the show and things started to change because they had to. I never liked the internal voting because they didn't know each others' scoring and just voted according to who they THOUGHT was getting good scores and they sent a lot of good people down to ground. That should be changed for the future. Maybe have the producers and global and i-landers vote for three up/ three down or something like that for future seasons? I didn't like how people did or didn't vote for people based on whether they might or might not be safe rather than just voting for their favorites. It made the voting all over the place at times and didn't feel like it portrayed people true feelings; just their "omg I must save..." feelings. BEYOND THAT, I think that IN THE FUTURE, we should get to vote for our final SEVEN for the last week to see what the world wants to see as a group and not just ONE person. I think that might have changed people's views on how the final went down. I still have feels about that but am relieved at the outcome so I can't complain much. Maybe even do two producers 5 global so people don't come down on ONE poor person to take out all of their frustration on. Sorry, I'm bitter at the backlash.
I have already watched most of it over again and I certainly will so so again when I don't have anything else to watch because the journey WAS SO GOOD. I just loved watching them work hard, struggle, persevere, and SHINE! It was exhilarating and infuriating at times! I went through every emotion watching this and I fully support the final group!!! 100% recommend watching!!!
