God, while the final leg itself was horribly-designed, at least the teams were edited decently. If we got THAT version of Will & James all season long, I wouldn't hate them as much as I do.

Really, the season was good for four episodes, then we lost Michelle & Victoria in a decent episode that happened to kill off the best team. But legs 6-11 were terrible. That's six legs revolving around alliance bullshit that just made me more and more angry every time.

-Alliance works together on "SAUERKRAUT" and has the audacity to be mad at NFL over their role in it. Meanwhile, the blondes struggle heavily because they're all alone at the back of the pack.

-Alliance doesn't bother using their Yield, and instead coerce the blondes into doing their dirty work and putting the final nail in Leo & Alana's coffin.

-Will & James yield the blondes.

-Riley & Maddison yield the blondes.

-The Core 3 are all talk about U-Turning NFL, only to wimp out and burn the board to take out Eswar & Aparna.

-The Core 3 share answers to eliminate NFL (ostensibly the weakest team left) at the final 4.

To be fair, DeAngelo & Gary were the first to the U-Turn board, so nobody could U-Turn them, and the only other things the Beard Bros could have done were U-Turn another team in their core alliance or risk Eswar & Aparna doing it. From their perspective, they made the right move. Honestly, the team I was mad at the most in that episode was Eswar & Aparna, who spent the rest of the episode being pissy not at the Beard Bros who, from their perspective, screwed them for no reason, but at NFL who made the only move that made sense for them (Riley and Maddison were right behind them at the U-Turn board, and they would have just done Eswar & Aparna anyway and likely survived and now NFL has an enemy in a team still in the race). That's why I have Eswar & Aparna so low in my ranking, because they went out in an unpleasant manner after doing fuck all for the season.

This was a weird one. For the first few episodes I was really into it. The tasks were fun, the locations were good, and the cast seemed alright. But the longer the season went on, the more I struggled to really care about anything that was happening. I just didn't really resonate with any of the teams this season. I think Tammy & Victor were fine winners, but their story just stopped after episode 3 and they felt really detatched from the rest of the teams this season. Like they were running a totally different race or something. I liked Margie & Luke at the start, but after the stuff with Kisha & Jen I kinda got turned off. Kisha & Jen themselves weren't very much fun (and they performed shockingly poorly for a future winner), Jamie & Cara really got tiring with Jamie's constant berating for people in other countires who didn't speak English. Mark & Mike were...okay I guess? I dunno, this whole season just feels kinda bland. Not much else to say.

Moving on to seasons I've already seen now.

Snooze. This one suffers from a lot of the problems that 14 did in that it's really just not very interesting. I think there a few interesting teams - I do like Zev & Justin a lot from their small time there, and I think the Globetrotters are actually alright here. The rest range from meh to bad. Megan & Cheyne are probably the most bland winners to date thus far. Sam & Dan are insufferably annoying. Brian & Ericka are mostly whatever. The route is pretty uninspired and there are only a few notable moments, the biggest being the waterslide incident, which is actually sort of uncomfortable to watch because of how shitty Canaan is duing the whole thing. It's actually sort of a wonder that I kept watching the show for a few more seasons when this was my first reintroduction to the series after being on hiatus for years back when it aired.

Next.

Looks like Survivor has abandoned their traditional DVD cover format and is now putting the tribe photos on there, allowing everyone to be on the cover.

Odd that they would begin this with 39, given that there are people on that season who I can't believe they'd want on the cover. Not to mention the format just looks... bad. They All-Stars and Cambodia formats look much better.

16. TAR4 - Jon & Al

Blitzed through this one real quick. I tend to do that with the seasons I don't enjoy very much. 16 is in a weird spot, and it suffers from a problem that a lot of my lower-tier seasons have - there's no one in the cast that I really liked. Which isn't to say the cast is outright wretched like season 4, most of them are -fine- but I didn't find myself attached to anyone in particular. It was difficult to pick a favorite. I eventually settled on Dan & Jordan because I liked their relationship, I think they raced fairly smart, and they didn't have any real ugly moments, minus maybe Dan in the cab in Shanghai. It actually surprised me when I looked up stats at the end of the season and saw that statistically they are the worst winners to date - I had forgotten they were a bit slower those first few legs. I liked Steve & Allie too, and considered them but they ended up being a little too forgettable. Maybe if they had made it a few legs farther. Also, much like the Globetrotters, I think Jet & Cord are fine in their first season here. I'd go as far as to say that I did like them, but the way they were edited was...ugh. Maybe it's just being nitpicky, but the fact that they get their own musical theme, and the editors really go out of their way to make sure you like them is a bit much. Louie & Michael were decent enough too.

And then Brent & Caite and Carol & Brandy. Caite is awful. I don't care about how smart or not she is, but she's a terrible spoiler brat for most of the season, and the huge chip on her shoulder is beyond annoying. They literally only ever showed that one clip in the airport of them being told Carol & Brandy said something, and that turned into "they keep saying mean things all the time." I don't hate Brent - he's kind of a dope - but whatever. Caite suuuucks though. Carol & Brandy is a similar situation. I didn't mind Carol a ton, and even though there wasn't actually much friction between them and Brent & Caite early on, the pettiness after the U-Turn and the way Brandy talked about Caite is extremely off-putting. Yes, Caite is not particularly smart, but be better. Even at the finish line...it's just ugh.

The route was pretty unexciting aside from the Seychelles leg. The back half was definitely better than the first half though, though the final memory task was joke. But at least it was sort of a memory task, which makes it a bit better than counting a million dollars in poker chips. Maybe. Anyway, I don't think this season was great, but I at least had ~feelings~ about it, which makes it a bit better than 15 in my book, which just exists. Honestly I think 15 should drop below 6 too, looking back on it, so I guess I'll do that.

Very excited to rewatch 17. I fond memories of this one, and it has my all-time favorite team out of the seasons I've seen.

Yeah Jet & Cord 1.0 are totally fine.

Louie & Michael are definitely not decent though. They were cocky, holier-than-thou assholes who thought they were God's gift to TAR despite nearly being eliminated in all of the first three legs and then spent the rest of the race determining who "deserved" to be there based on a petty middle school-ish social criteria.

Yeah, Louie & Michael are neck and neck with Brent & Caite for worst team of the season. Also, Brandy & Carol are great.

I admittedly wasnt paying super close attention to this season while I was watching it, but Im not seeing what youre seeing here. I didnt love them or anything, theyd probably be like 6th or 7th if I bothered to rank everyone, but I didnt really mind them.

They were fueling the flames between Brent & Caite and Carol & Brandy just because they didn't like the latter, U-turned Joe & Heidi just because they hated how cocky Joe was (despite them being at least twice as cocky), and tried to form a clique based on who they thought were the most moral people (which ironically included mostly cutthroat teams) that backfired on them miserably.

Has anyone else been keeping up with RHAP's weekly Survivor season rewatch/countdown? I've been enjoying the deep dives into lots of stuff I had long forgotten but is still buried in my memory somewhere. I also like the user-voting submissions, and I updated my overall season ranking to see how theirs compares. (so far, I'm nearly identical.)

Also given that it's been quite a while since we've had Survivor at all and I don't really follow other shows I'm enjoying seeing some RHAP faces I haven't seen before - some of these folks are really great.

I agree with their #40 and their #39 and 38 are also in my bottom 5ish so I've got no gripes so far. That being said, i really don't listen to "serious" Survivor discussion anymore because I feel like a lot of it perpetuates the very things I hate most about modern Survivor and the current state of the fanbase, RHAP included.

as someone who has not rewatched much of the series at all but who has a pretty good memory, it's a nice way to revisit the seasons without paying for cbs all access or finding them through means of dubious legality

i also think rob has a pretty diverse group of panelists and does a good job at getting out of the way of letting them speak, i get that large parts of survivor fandom has can be frustrating but i'm impressed with the series so far

As someone who's in front of the online fans a ton, I'm curious to hear more of your thoughts on this.

on a similar note, your "[season]'s best moments" vids have been excellent the past couple weeks! i think it's been neat that the netflix seasons have brought in new fans and a renewed interest in the old seasons
