Inviso posted... Realized I should update now that another season is in the books.
The cream of the crop:
1. Kaoh Rong
2. Vanuatu
3. Pearl Islands
4. San Juan Del Sur
5. China
6. Philippines
Very good seasons with a few minor flaws:
7. Marquesas
8. Borneo
9. Heroes vs. Villains
10. Nicaragua
11. Guatemala
12. Gabon
13. Survivor 42
Largely solid seasons, but with some major flaws that prevent them from being better:
14. David vs. Goliath
15. Cagayan
16. Exile Island
17. Survivor 45
18. Fiji
19. Amazon
20. Survivor 44
21. Survivor 41
22. Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers
23. Micronesia
24. Palau
Has some distinctly negative aspects, but has enough fun and enjoyable content to not hate outright:
25. Game Changers
26. Winners at War
27. Blood vs. Water
28. Edge of Extinction
29. Samoa
30. South Pacific
Mostly bland and forgettable:
31. Tocantins
32. Africa
33. One World
34. Australia
35. Ghost Island
36. Survivor 43
Extremely, extremely negative and unpleasant, but at least KINDA interesting in that negativity:
37. Thailand
38. Worlds Apart
39. Island of the Idols
Aggressively boring and soulless, and revolving around a twist that honestly makes the season worse through its existence:
40. Millennials vs. Gen X
41. Cook Islands
42. Caramoan
43. Cambodia
44. All-Stars
45. Redemption Island
I mostly agree with this except have Africa and Australia way higher because of the cultural phenomenon they were.
I also thjnk Earl singlehandedly moves Fiji to the tier its in.
Cook Islands is weird because I think Yuls a great winner but that win is so tainted by his completely broken idol. And it was well cast but lots of that cast count Cook Islands as their worst season.
