Time to bless the rains with our next update.

#22: Africa
Average Ranking: 21.36

eaed: 8 - This is one of those seasons that is ranked a lot more because of my personal feelings for it. It also falls under that list of one of those seasons that will screw up my outlier setting but nevertheless, it was the first season that I truly remember and I was a huge fan of Lex. Finally, with some more old school survivor and then the first swap made it really over the top. And thats why it is here for me.

Mana Sword: 16 - No writeup

YoRyan: 18 - enjoyable but dull in many parts

Illuminatus: 20 - No writeup

BCT: 22 - As far as early seasons go, Africa has nothing its predecessors didnt (except the swap and Lexs witch hunt) and a less memorable cast. The Samburu trainwreck is stained by Silas being arrogant, though the swap bamboozling him was precious, and the conditions and strict rules on wandering outside the circle made everyone feel less inspired. The exotic location was a nice change of pace, but made it clear the beach was where Survivor belonged.

darkx: 22 - No writeup

FBike: 23 - Although not a very good season overall, this season brought a very important change to Survivor: the tribe switch. No longer could a tribe simply sit back with a majority after the merge or so we thought.

Inviso: 24 - Its a toss-up for me as to which of Australia or Africa I prefer more, and ultimately, I have to rank Africa just SLIGHTLY higher, because its just slightly less predictable. Both seasons have similar problems though: very harsh conditions lead to a level of grunginess that adds up to an unpleasant viewing experience towards the end-game. The boot order isnt that great either, as a lot of fun, interesting characters go out right around the merge (similar to Australia), but at least the methods in which this happens are somewhat interesting. Plus the endgame is a LITTLE more surprising given the final few immunity wins. Ultimately though, I think ones enjoyment of Africa depends on just how much one can tolerate a certain player who becomes the focal point of the season from the merge onward. I dont care for this player, so Africa is a bit of a slog for me to watch.

GTM: 27 - what even happened on this season

Naye745: 27 - i just don't remember this season having nearly the excitement or fun as Borneo or Australia, and maybe it suffers a bit by comparison. Ethan winning was good, and this gave us our first major tribe-swap twist, but still fails to stand out as anything great.

DoctorBlind: 28 - Africa probably fell lower in my ranking upon a rewatch than any other season. Boring cast, stupid strategies and an underwhelming performance from the winner.
