A couple that I have:
Just because someone has a lot of strategic content does not make them a bad character, and someone having a lot of personal content does not automatically make them a good character. I liked Kelley in Cambodia in spite of her content breaking strongly along the gameplay side of things, and I found Kathy from Marquesas exhausting.
Likewise, strategy-heavy seasons are not worse than strategy-light seasons. A balance between gameplay and character content is ideal (like with Heroes vs. Villains and China), but showing people playing the game is not bad...and, honestly, I prefer strategy-heavy seasons like Cambodia and Cagayan to the character-heavy seasons like Gabon and Nicaragua.
South Pacific and Samoa are above-average seasons.
Sophie is wonderful as a character and as a winner.
Parvati is a bit overrated overall, but she's not the "worst winner of alllllll tiiiiiime"; her game, to me, was similar in places to Michele's game in Kaôh Rōng.
