#2: Cagayan
Average Ranking: 4.73

GTM: 1 - the greatest season of characters, strategy, my favorite tribal council, and the dumbest move ever in survivor (if you're going for the million)

Naye745: 2 - the defining season of the modern era. showed the strengths of an all-newbie season and the three tribe format. for better or worse, i feel like almost every season since has been trying to recapture the magic of this season - many loosely-tied tribe themes and a mountain of twists/advantages. that said, the characters of Cagayan are incredible; it features one of the most notable winners, and Kass, Spencer, Tasha, Woo, Trish, and even earlier boots like Sarah and J'Tia are standouts as well. following this one week-to-week was magical.

BCT: 3 - One of the most erratic winners backstabbing half the cast makes this season wild, alongside the disastrous Luzon tribe being ripe with entertainment. Everyone brought it this season not to mention it was filled with personality, an awesome variety of challenges, and a final two! Its doubtful Survivor will have another newbie season that tops this one. They all came to play and they all were interesting and the final product had the right mix of everything. And the punchline of Woo taking Tony to the Final Two is still gold.

darkx: 3 - No writeup

Mana Sword: 4 - No writeup

eaed: 4 - This season had an extremely great cast across the board with may be one or two duds but this season like the others in this range are just so good from week to week aside from the Alexis boot. And with Tony is another extremely dynamic winner in good strategy and good entertainment value it really pushes this season over the top.

Inviso: 5 - Does Cagayan feature idols too heavily? A little bit. Is one of the final four exceptionally obnoxious? Oh hell yes. Does every aspect of the season come together to create television gold in spite of this? HELL yeah. Cagayan manages to get a LOT of things done right, while not really deviating from the way modern Survivor is played. The cast is solid overall, albeit with one tribe thats more dud than not. The pre-merge features some amazing story work through the pre-swap portion, and even post-swap, theres still fun to be had due to the zaniness of a character or two. Cagayan also gets my vote for the best merge episode ever, which leads to a string of great boots that leave you guessing and keep the season from becoming dull. By the time Cagayan reaches its final six, I would say EVERY character is worthy of an All-Star return (and five of the six have done just that), regardless of my hatred for a certain player. Would I have liked a little better casting towards the middle of the season? Yeahspending most of the early merge getting rid of boring characters wasnt greatbut whatever. The endgame rocked and we got a great winner out of the deal.

FBike: 5 - If not for a few weak episodes right after the merge, this would be in the running for the #1 spot. As is, it still remains among the greats.

Illuminatus: 6 - No writeup

DoctorBlind: 7 - This season was all over the place. The Brains tribe was a hilarious mess from the get-go, and the ensuing post-merge has blindside after blindside. So many fantastic tribals in this one, and really good editing all around. It also boasts a great selection of characters and a fascinating winner, so kudos all around.

YoRyan: 12 - will probably be low compared to others. Still a very good season. Not a huge fan of the stretch of eps where it turns into the Spencer and Tony show
