There are obsessive Survivor viewers who are a lot easier to satisfy than a Suckster. I would say that they aren't casual fans in the strictest sense because they have a vested interest in it. Casual viewers are the ones that send buzz about the show into the stratosphere. Like Pearl Islands, for example, had tons of buzz. People I know who don't watch Survivor regularly knew who Jonny Fairplay was.

Well not everyone can spend so much time analyzing every character like Sucksters do. you can't blame a casual viewer for liking a character that the editors want them to like. If there is a unique, likable character, the editors will edit them as one dimensional so a casual viewer can remember them and keep watching.

He didn't really develop that much as a character, though. He stayed pretty much the same the whole season. On paper, he's an interesting character, but I don't get why everyone loves him the way they do. He's easily one of the most overrated ever.

It bugs me how shallow-minded casual viewers are.

Whether or not it was over hyped or hurt anyone isn't the question though. That moment was pretty big in the eyes of casual viewers. The saw that as the ultimate betrayal and it sticks in peoples minds. And Yau-Man may have gotten old to you, but I think most people saw him as a unique character who stood out. That in itself is memorable.

Yau-Man was really interesting at first, but he got old really fast. The Dreamz/Yau car deal was too overhyped, especially because Yau-Man told Dreamz not to feel guilty about it, and Dreamz gave it to charity. It's not like it hurt anyone.

I think Yau-Man is very unforgettable so he single handedly makes Fiji memorable. The paired with the "most controversial decision ever made" make Fiji pretty memorable in my book. Casual viewers still talk about how disgusting it was what Dreamz did to Yau-Man. That was a big moment for most viewers.

All the seasons are memorable to me, too, because I don't forget anything, but Fiji had the most forgettable cast, and nothing really stands out about the season other than 2 or 3 moments. It's not even that their cast was unlikeable, they were just ridiculously dull.

I don't think Exile Island is unforgettable at all. I actually really like the season and a lot of the characters are memorable to me. It was also the first to have exile island (well I guess Palau was but not really), and although I don't like exile island it was pretty memorable. All the seasons are memorable to me, but if I were to guess which ones wouldn't be memorable to the general audience I would guess Africa and Thailand, Just becuase they were on the boring side and...

I don't really get all the Panama hate. I loved Sally <3. Like someone said earlier, they weren't really fascanating, but they're way more watchable than people like Sundra, Rebecca, Rita, etc.

I really liked Panama, but it was my first season, so I'm kind of biased.

The most forgettable season is Fiji, by far.

Vanuatu was great. Casual fans just hate women and Chris wasn't really the top choice out of the Vanuatu men to support. Most would prefer Chad/Rory/Sarge over Chris in terms of casual viewers.

EI was horribly boring. We had our first official bore tribe La Mina and the more entertaining characters (Misty, Sally, Dan) were either kicked off early or hidden. It didn't help Terry was soaking up all of La Mina's airtime to build him up as a huge hero like they did with Tom...

Not the worst, but the most mediocre and forgetable. No real controversies. 3rd time recycled location.

For example, Terry fades beside fellow immunity whores Tom W and Ozzy, who came just before and after his season. Shane is either the fake Hollywood version of Judd, or a pale precursor of Evil Dick.

The reasons that I like China better than Panama/Exile Island do not have anything to do with the relative predictability of either season. Firstly, I loved how they incorporated the Chinese culture and heritage in the challenges and I enjoyed the reward trips and the opening ceremony in the temple. Secondly, China had a more diverse cast than Panama/Exile Island. Sure, the Casaya tribe had some good characters but the La Mina tribe was what TV producers considered to be a cross-section of...

In Panama, we only knew towards the end that it was Aras and Cirie calling the shots. Up until that point, we didn't know if the final 2 was going to be Aras/Shane, Danielle/Courtney, Cirie/Danielle etc. Plus add Terry's immunity streak which made a good wild...

The reason China is loved is that everyone was honestly trying to win or a great character. Of the F10, only Frosti was a dud.

You've GOT to be kidding. Palau was one of the highest rated seasons ever and had the most "firsts" out of pretty much any other season except Borneo. That's such a typical Sucks response, Wyl

What about Melinda? Ruth Marie? Bobby? Dan? Nick?

Nick and Ruth Marie were the Nick and Amber of EI, I'll give you that. The other people mentionned did receive a decent editing. Well at the very least, much better edits that the Vanuatu/Palau/Guatemala first boots.

Anyways, the answer to this thread is without a doubt Palau. I've said it many times, but that season is a complete blur to me. All I remember is that the...

I know we all have our favourite seasons, but what season do you think will become the most forgetable within the next 10 years. Keep in mind controversey, casts, outcome, drama, and media. I hope this forum is well recieved!
