But no - Russhole show it is. That's why it's so bad.

Thank you for actually voicing my point. Natalie is not only a social threat. She was also a strategic mastermind. Had she not convinced the Galu girls to turn on Erik, there'll be no comeback at all.
- True, the season being a Russel show obviously left a bad taste to people.

- Pearl Islands (aside from the ****** twist, this is pretty much one of the best seasons, of course if you can stomach Rupert then this is for you).
- Palau (the most physical challenges I've seen + the middle part of the game is excellent, great cast).
- Panama (Shane alone + many funny moments)
- Fiji (underrated + poor editing but it actually is a good season. Lot of big moves from players, to think that 18/19 contestants were recruits).
- Samoa (the season where the real recipe for being the sole survivor is the social game, not strategic bullying).
About the Jerri comment, she played a very good social game in HvV. She's a threat. Parvati was just a victim of a bitter jury (Hi Heroes!)
|
Not you stanning for the worst seasons 
I agree wiht everything else though

Strategically, HVv is Parvati's best season while socially, it was Micronesia. Let's just take Probst comment about Parvati's game. He said that Cook Islands is Parvati's growth, Micronesia is her maturity and HVV is her retirement.
- We can argue of who should win but regardless of a bitter or non bitter jury, every winner deserves their win one way or another. Maybe except for Rob's win, he played with arguably the dumbest batch of castaways.
|
You can't say Rob didn't deserve to win, but then say that Kim Spradlin is one of the best.
They played the exact same game in the seasons they won, and they both got lucky with casting.

And One World was the pits, lets not even go there. Post merge was PAINFUL to watch. Seriously, I cringed every time an episode ended.
Like, this is the summary of the season. |
Mess at that photo describing the entire season

The one where Parvati amazed everyone by saving Sandra and Jerry?
She only tricked the God of Villain, so it didn't count. 
I love Samoa actually, i always amazed at how Russel eliminated everyone.
I was rooting for him to win after Brett lost the final Challenge, but lost interest in him when he bullied Natalie on Final 3.
Thanks to Eric tho, if he didn't give that speech, Natalie would not have won it.
The casts were pretty good actually and i 'd like to see some of them back, like Kelly, Monica and Eric. I had high hopes with Jayson, but after the merge he's just useless
I can't stand Shambo tho'

I just hate the fact that the Ometepe didn't make a move to oust Rob. Yeah they actually played the same game where everyone falls into their spell. But Kim has a worthy competitor with Sab and Chelsea. Most people thought Chlesea would win (especially if the juries are bitter). But Kim destroyed both in The FTC.
- I actually cannot depend myself anymore because I respect your opinion and we all have different views. I put Kim in a high pedestal because she was a triple threat, same goes with Parvati.

Seasons I haven't seen:
- Marquesas
- Thailand
though I have watched a couple of episodes from those two seasons. These two does not really appeal to me.

Honestly I don't know why I get so excited each season because I've hated pretty much every season since HvV.
21: Terrible. The 1-2 punch of Brenda being voted out and then the double quit destroyed this season.
22: The worst season of all time.
23: Terrible due to awful characters like Coach, Ozzy, Cochran, and Brandon dominating the show.
24: Okay. At least the cast was aesthetically pleasing and the winner was great. Boring though.
25: Probably the best of the last eight seasons, but Skupin and Lisa were not fun to watch. Malcolm and Denise saved this season. Oh and Abi of course.
26: The second worst season of all time. The editing is the worst EVER (yes worse than Samoa), and Cochran and Dawn disgusted me. The only reason to watch this season was to root for the three amigos. Once they + Brenda + Andrea were gone, I was out.
27: Not horrible, but not good. Big characters like John, Candice, Marissa, and Brad went too early, and the final 3 sucked.
28: Started very, very strong, but it turned into the Tony show (much like 19 was the Russel show) only this season, the "star" actually won

I agree. I actually love Samoa, Galu was a fantastic, compelling tribe, and Natalie is a great (and obviously) very underrated winner. Plus seeing Russel lose was delicious.
Here's hoping this season has a great cast, a likable winner, and even editing!

And how was Parvati a disgusting person?
|
Because Russell was so disgusting, and she gave so little ***** about that and was so buddy buddy with him, that she became disgusting by association.

and B) Amanda was in 2 of the seasons you watched. The show never mentioned a single time the end result of her 1st season?

The episodes with Colton in them are wonderful, some of the most delightful drama-filled Survivor ever, but once he left the season became total sleep and gave us THE most boring, irrelevant winner to date in 14 years of Survivor. I wouldn't watch a post-Colton episode of that season again unless I was paid a very large sum of money.

Palau is pretty good, worth watching to see what happens with the one tribe.

Fiji isn't underrated, there's a reason it's the least liked season besides Thailand universally.
If you haven't seen Thailand or Fiji yet, avoid both of them and only watch them if you've literally run out of unwatched Survivor and are desperate for more.

No, Russell is to be avoided like the plague, and no one needs to know Shambo exists if they don't already.

When every single Jury member was metaphorically but****ed by a core alliance, including key members of that very alliance, it's not bitter for the Jury to avoid voting for people who were in that alliance. Let's not toss the word bitter around all willy-nilly until it becomes overused and loses its meaning.

The introduction of Boston Rob.
KathyGoddess.
NelehGodess and The Mint.
The legendary Purple Rock, whose repercussions would reverberate thoughout countless seasons of Survivor to come.
Marquesas is not to be ignored.

Actually, jury was going to vote for Mick. But then he failedT a FTC.  Ratalie wasn't getting a lot of questions, but she was, like, 'hold up, I've done this, this and this, played the game and I know every one of you as a person', they were impressed and gave her the mill. Eric's speech got her 1 or 2 votes, if that, but I agree, it was very cool.
Nicaragua is very polarizing, but underrated, imo. If you look at it like some sort of a dark comedy it get better. NaOnka was, and still is, the star of Nicaragua, tbh. The cast in general is very good. Only duds were Shannon, Jane and Sash. Everyone else delivered. (Yes, even Wendy Jo. <3)
RI - umm...
SoPa - umm....
OW - it wasn't bad as it was boring. By the episode 3, the winner was clear. It's just an uneventful season.
Philppines - <3<3<3<3 A top 3 season. A top 3 cast. Seriously, everyone delivered - even Angie as the cute, clueless blond, Roxy as crazy 2nd boot, and Artis as shade thrower. 3 tribes worked great, beautiful location, and a lot of events. Matsing betting ulonged, Dawson raping Probst (<3), crazy blindseides, ABI TEH STRATEGIC QUENN <3, Skupin failing at life. I was fine with Denise winnig, but there were better options. Lisa should've won in that F3. #SurvivorBreakdown #SurvivorRobbed
Caramoan - Well, Fans were delivering pre-swap actually. Kool Kids Klub with 4 as majority in a tribe of 10. <3 Sherri and Laura (aka ***** detector. <3<3) running the show. <3 Sherri get''s undeserved hate, tbh. She run Gota, then Shamar and Laura we't out back to back, and she was kinda screwed. She flipped at the perfect moment and done what she could. There was no way she would've won cuz 1. she's a woman, 2. she wasn't favorite. So from being merge boot she came as 2nd, so good for her.<3
*Yes, I don't talk about the other tribe. When I imagined their camp was hit by meteorite, world became a better place.
BvW - Good season. Lot's of my faves went out pre-merge, tho.  Thirdpersonica was kinda fun, and winner bacame kinda obvious. But Ciera <3<3<3. Tina <3<3<3 Laura M. <3
1. Philippines
2. Cagayan
3. Nicaragua
4. BvW
-gap-
-gap.
5.One world
6. Caramoan.
7. SoPa
8.RI

Corrine was really my barometer for Caramoan. Aside from her and Brenda, every single favorites suck. Her not makin the jury was the biggest flaw in Caramoan.
