Why Survivor 32: Kaôh Rōng might be annoying:

    What could possibly Kaôh Rōng?
    A record number of med-evacs, that’s what.
    One time, three players all suffered heat exhaustion in the same challenge, and Caleb ended up getting airlifted out as a result.
    Later in the game, Neal and Joe each had to be evacuated for different ailments, as well.
    Also, Jenny had a bug crawl into her ear in the first episode (thankfully, though, she did not need to be evacuated).
    After Caleb's med-evac, viewers complained to the show’s producers and game designers for including a challenge that forced players to search for bags buried under a large field in the hot sun.
    For the third consecutive season, the ‘extra vote’ advantage failed to take out its intended target.
    It was the second Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty season, except this time producers listed ‘Brains’ before ‘Brawn’ when promoting the show.
    Players had to wait an entire year after filming ended to find out who won.
    They had to put up with Scot’s boorish demeanor.
    In fact, Scot and Jason pulled a Brandon Hantz, by dousing the fire at camp to piss off the others.
    The To Tang tribe was never referred to by name during its time in the game.
    When they reshuffled the tribes, Julia was sent to To Tang (the old Brawn tribe) to become its only member at that point.
    After the next Tribal Council, she was absorbed into the new Gondol (which had been her old Beauty tribe) to replace Anna, who had just been voted out.
    Even though Anna did not have much of an on-air story, Jeff thought that she would make a great candidate for a future Second Chance season. (Based on what?)
    What was Tai doing starting out on Beauty? (Even he admitted that he didn’t belong there.)
    Alecia was placed on the Brawn Tribe when she should have been on Beauty.
    While this season aired, viewers had to read about former Survivor player Michael Skupin getting arrested on some pretty heinous charges.

Why Survivor 32: Kaôh Rōng might not be annoying:

    It was the first Survivor season ever to film in Cambodia, though the second such one to air.
    Due to all the hype over the previous year’s Second Chances vote, production switched the broadcast order of this season and Survivor: Cambodia.
    The castaways’ chicken, Mark, received so much air time, that he became a celebrity among the fan community.
    At the time of its premiere, Joe became the second oldest player ever in Survivor history (behind onlyRudy), and Julia became the second youngest player ever (behind only Spencer Duhm).
    Most of the initial tribe assignments this season at least made sense, as opposed to the Cagayan season.
    Producers put Tai on Beauty only because of his love and respect for all living things.
    Alecia was a Brawn only because of her refusal to take any crap from anybody.
    In the challenge where Caleb was medically evacuated, Debbie and Cydney also suffered from heat exhaustion, but those two each recovered and got to remain in the game.
    For the first time ever, a castaway could be saved from elimination after the votes were read by playing two Hidden Immunity Idols at once (of course, no one invoked that rule this season).
    In fact, for the first time in 14 seasons, no one played a Hidden Immunity Idol.
    In the final reward challenge, Michele won the right to boot one player off the jury.
    Neal thus became the first juror ever excused from jury duty.
    Beauty did much better than the last time, even winning the title of Sole Survivor this season.
    At the end of the game, Mark the Chicken was set free, having survived longer than other chickens that have been on the show throughout the years.
