Topic	Survivor Crew Ranks The Survivor Seasons (Topic 2)
bwburke94 08/19/18 4:34:47 PM #170:	#5: Philippines Average Ranking: 9.00 darkx: 4 - No writeup Inviso: 6 - Somehow, in the midst of a string of terrible seasons (ranging from Nicaragua through Blood vs. Water, depending on your opinions), Survivor managed to pluck a diamond from the rough with Philippines. It brings back returning players, yes, but two of them are less returnees and more just allowing people to finish a season after they got medevaced on their first go-around. The three tribe format actually works in this instance, unlike All-Stars, and it allows for decent characterization across the board (although one tribe is CLEARLY inferior to the other two.) The season features flips, quality strategy, blindsides, and one of the better growth arcs the show has put together for a major character. It also manages to tell a unique winner story that will probably never be replicated again, so it winds up standing out as a highly unique season overall. eaed: 6 - Survivor is such a good season. It was unique. It really started with a real good twist. Then the matzinging of it all. I really have a hard time describing what made me feel make this lower than the others because to me the top 7 is like splitting hairs. There was some players that I didnt care for in this season though and thats why it is a little bit lower. FBike: 6 - This was a refreshing break from the garbagey seasons that preceded it. It has actual funn moments and compelling gameplay, and the switch to three initial tribes worked well, though not the way the producers hoped it would go. BCT: 7 - A breath of fresh air during the First Dark Age, offering an amazing cast (for Malcolm and Abi alone, but it doesnt stop there), an eventful string of blindsides, cookies, and many satisfying and/or amusing moments, including Russ Swan mistaking Probst for God during a meltdown, one of the most amusing first boots ever, and Malcolms first idol bluff. Illuminatus: 7 - No writeup Naye745: 8 - after the general mess of seasons 19-24, Philippines was a needed shot of life. the first return to the three-tribe format since (i believe) All-Stars helped build storylines and characters. despite featuring returning players, the season largely thrived without them. and the eventual winner participated in (and survived) every tribal council. Mana Sword: 9 - No writeup YoRyan: 13 - pretty much saved survivor, at least for me. Good all the way through GTM: 16 - i'm like a storyteller, it's what I do DoctorBlind: 17 - This is another one thats pretty difficult for me to rank. I love the underdog story here, but there really arent very many likable characters this season. I dont really care for the winner either (or maybe thats just because the one I was rooting for finished 4th), which probably weighs heavier in my rankings than it should. --- All your old meme are belong to me. <cite>bwburke94 posted [p:907168288] in Survivor C...
