18. Thailand (most unlikable cast ever)
17. ASS (all the previous winner hate killed it for me right away)
16. Marquesas (just not a very engaging season for me)
15. Borneo (ranking the original so low just shows how much the show continues to improve. Strategically the worst)
14. Guatemala (okay season I guess)
13. Africa (too lovey at the end, but first tribal swap and watching Silas and Lindsay get theirs made this season pretty good)
12. Micronesia (heavy on strategy, but the fans tribe was pretty pathetic. I generally don't like the seasons where players come back a 2nd time.)
11. Palau (watching Ulong go through hell is gut wrenching, but kind of becomes ordinary after that)
10.. Exile Island (decent cast of nutjobs and perhaps the best female strategic player ever)
9. Samoa (if not for Russel this would be near the bottom, plus it seemed like the production values slipped to early show levels at certain points,
especially after how well put together the two previous seasons were)
8. Gabon (pretty riveting season but a wee bit too heavy on the hand picked studs and pin up models for my liking. Kenny's run saved it for me)
7. PI (maybe the most drama of any season, but at the end none of the contestants were likeable)
6. Outback (gripping almost completely to the end, even under the stale original format)
5. China (good gameplay from several contestants. Lacking a truly memorable character, but I settled for James)
4. Tocantins (more memorable players than you can shake a stick at and crazy unpredictable gameplay)
3. Fiji (despite meh final 3, Yau Man's run and the best blindside in history rank this high for me. Edgardo boot best single survivor episode EVER
many players here you either loved or hated)
2. Amazon (prototype season for what the show would become. You can pretty much divide the show into "Pre Amazon" and "Post Amazon")
1. Vanuuatu (gripping and watchable from start to finish every episode, wether or not you think Chris deserved to win)
