CK you are nailing exactly why I have such a hard time trying to pick between TDI and RR. I felt for so many of the characters, even some of the early boots. And I just really enjoyed its faster pace. It has the biggest cast of any season but it never felt too bloated becasue of it.

And the unpredicatblity! I think you can almost always tell most of TD's eliminations; they make it painstakingly obvious. RR isn't a master of subtly, but it was a bit more shocking to see who got certain boots. Like, certain characters got focus...and then weren't immeaditely elimnated for it. I mean sure, some characters were obviously going to go farther (Best Friends) and some were obvious early boots (L.A.R.P.ers), but I didn't predict that final 2. Even the Ice Dancers didn't strike me as obvious big characters in the first few episodes.

I also have to agree that TDI has a magic allure though.
