#3: Heroes vs. Villains
Average Ranking: 5.00

eaed: 1 - Heroes vs Villains holds a special place in my heart. In Survivors 10s I had fallen out of love with Survivor but then Survivor Heroes vs Villains came out and I found out that a lot of my favorites were going to be on the season I just knew I had to watch it. So when I watched the first episode of Survivor it was everything I remembered I loved about Survivor and more. The players were fantastic, the challenges were good, and then to see some of these amazing Survivor players together on one beach it really felt like this cannot be topped. And then, like the other season in my top 5, every episode felt electric more often than not the editing made it unclear who was going home on a week in and week out basis and overall I couldnt help but tune in. And then at the time, I would hop on AIM to talk to my brother at college about it and then I would go on CBS.com to watch the extra videos and overall just wanting more and more until the next episode. I think this is the season that made me a superfan and thats why it is my number 1.

DoctorBlind: 3 - Despite my main guy bowing out too soon for my liking thanks to an idiotic move by an alliance member the episode prior, I have to give this season credit for getting me back into Survivor. The marketing for this season was A+, billing it as a clash of titans. And really thats what it was. A season of returning players has never nailed down such a perfect roster than HvV, and I loved every minute of it (except the aforementioned vote). So many delicious moments throughout the season leading up to an immensely satisfying conclusion.

Naye745: 3 - a season loaded with hype and it delivered. the insane, and packed, first episode. Russell and Parv turning the game around on Boston Rob. JT's letter. Parvati and Sandra openly mocking Russell at the end. the first two-time winner. for once, an all-returnee season met the hype, and got the most out of its characters. and Sandra cemented her legacy as an all time Survivor great character and player.

BCT: 6 - An absolute thrill ride, flawless through nine episodes, but an unsatisfying late merge with an obnoxious troll with a poor, been-there, done-that comeuppance ultimately make the end result unsatisfying. I highly blame the placement here on Hantz fantigue. If Parvati had voted out Hantz at F5 over Colby, this couldve been #1. Just imagine Hantz on the jury!

YoRyan: 7 - almost fanfic-y at times, amazing season. Even despite of Russell's grating pressance

FBike: 7 - This is what an All-Star season should be. Every single episode featured social maneuvering and guile, with a couple infamous moments that will not soon be forgotten. I do have to say that this season would have turned out far differently if the cast had the option to watch Samoa first...

Inviso: 10 - Barring seasons with a small number of coaches, some of which barely feel like returnees, Heroes vs. Villains is the best returning player season by a HUGE margin. Yes, it features a major flaw first seen in Samoa, with a single player garnering a fuck ton of screen timebut it actually isnt as bothersome when you put that overbearing personality up against a bunch of bona fide all-stars. The cast is surprisingly good, given the penchant for stuffing a bunch of duds into returnee seasons to make up the numbers, and the boot order is solid, with only a few hiccups on one tribe. There are big moves, big moments, and while idols are important to the season, after a certain point, they fade into the background and allow the season to develop organically. Throw in a great final three and an amazing winner, and Heroes vs. Villains is a solid season all around.
