#21: Marquesas
Average Ranking: 19.64

Inviso: 8 - The first few seasons of Survivor followed a very specific formula with one a few bumps along an otherwise smooth road. Marquesas is the first season to really shake up that formula in a fun way, with the pre-merge boot list actually featuring some major characters, as opposed to JUST the last pre-merge boot or so. But there are some shake-ups strategically as well, and that leads to an endgame of players most people wouldnt expect to reach the endgame in the first place. I think Survivor is at its best when the winner isnt someone the editors can just lazily craft a story around, so Marquesas winds up being a reasonably well-edited and exciting season, especially in comparison to a lot of the other seasons around it.

darkx: 10 - An underrated gem with a lot of funny moments and an amazing underdog alliance upsetting the cocky overdogs.

eaed: 14 - On the first watch, I didnt care for Marquesas but on the rewatch Marquesas was actually quite fantastic. The people are pretty great, the symbolism in the water fall. The fall of the Rotu four. Boston Rob is pretty great in confessional in his debut. Sean Rector is a fantastic character. Kathy VO is still one of my favorite survivor players of all time. The finish is what takes the wind out of this seasons sails for me.

YoRyan: 16 - classic that i don't love as much as everybody else

BCT: 20 - A good cast with strategic gameplay new to the time and a few good instances of drama, but a fatigued final six due to the state of deprivation, too many bug bites, and underwhelming winner ultimately undermine the eventual outcome.

Naye745: 22 - had one of the first successful reversals of a majority alliance when the 4 rotus got blindsided by the other 5 players. but struggles to stand out to me aside from that dramatic turnaround. admittedly i havent watched this since it aired in 2002.

Illuminatus: 23 - No writeup

Mana Sword: 24 - No writeup

FBike: 24 - The cast was miserable this season, and it wasn't just because of the sandflies driving them crazy.

DoctorBlind: 27 - I just finished re-watching this with the fiance and am a bit surprised I ranked it this low. Fun characters in the beginning, but over time the show gets a bit stale. Underwhelming winner, but hey at least we avoided a traditional pagoning.

GTM: 28 - what even happened on this season
