Massive improvement from season 1. Better cast, better games, and the implementation of death matches definitely improved and solved a lot of the issues with the eliminations from season 1. The only problem with the season is the fact that every game from episode 7 -12 are variations of two games that end up playing very similarly each time, and the fact that practically none of the games were set up in ways where the minority group ever has a chance of winning. The final episode is a bit of a dud as well, with all the death matches being blowouts. Nonetheless, this is probably the highest quality survival show season to come out since the genius ended.
