Marquesas is the worst season imo. I'll respect you having it in your top five because I understand that there are reasons some people like it. I just don't get those reasons. It seems to me that they frequently boil down to three things:
1. Kathy peeing on John's hand. Sure, it was entertaining for a minute, but it hardly carries a season.
2. The people on the outs flipping the game and voting out the controlling alliance. On paper, I agree that this would normally be something that would make a season interesting. But when every single person in the game is boring as hell, it doesn't make for compelling television regardless of what they do. Some people say "(insert season) had the worst final four out of any season" about seasons they dislike. I say that Marquesas had the worst final EIGHT of any season. I can get you not liking John, but he was the only person who seemed to be doing anything out of the final nine. After he got booted, it was just boring TV. The former outcats now become the controlling alliance and vote everyone else out, which is exactly the same thing. Except there's nothing even remotely compelling about any of them. Ugh. That's me, though.
3. PURPLE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So what? It's a great idea for earlier in the game, but it sucked ass in a final four setting.
That's my take on Marquesas.
Your season rankings is quite different from my own. I suppose that's part of what makes Survivor great. Even the worst seasons are worth watching if you're a fan. I suppose I'm glad that some people are able to enjoy the ones that I think are lousy relative to the others.
