That's the best way to explain it. I'm not a huge fan simply because the finale was one of the worst episodes ever in addition to bringing back the final three twist...but besides that, I liked it.

I'm probably one of the few people who would ever argue that a season suffered from a lack of twists. I was hoping they would do more to shake up the status quo since nobody seemed interested in doing it on their own. Todd and Amanda hardly had to do anything to stay in control the whole time. Their tribemates were too mindlessly focused on keeping their original group together to make a power shift possible, and people like Peih-Gee had no chance just because they were stuck on a shitty tribe. By the fifteenth season, you'd think the winner should have to overcome a little more adversity than Todd did, where he basically proved that you can still win Survivor by forming an alliance with three people from your original tribe and riding it the whole way, like Richard and Ethan did. I always thought it was overrated, but third best season of all time? I had no idea I was that out of touch with the conventional wisdom here. I don't appreciate China as much as others, either. I would never argue for a twist though. I'd like the players to shake up the game, not production. Not ever production. Thailandsurvivor wrote: I mean in Gabon, Ken got his ass handed to him. I'm one of the biggest Ken supporters on the board, and I can even admit that. But just because he lost doesn't make it a bad season. I was ticked off when Jenna won Amazon, yet it's still my favorite. Oh yeah, other seasons where the editors told you who to like...Micronesia (Cirie and Parv), Palau (Steph, Tom, and Ian), Cook Islands (Aitu 4), and Fiji (Yau and Earl). Notice the trend? 19+ people in all of them. Craig, Thank you for helping me understand why those are my four least favorite seasons. The editors do that every season.

Ask 10 random people who their favorite player in Gabon was. I'll bet at least 5 or 6 names come up. That's a little different from Micronesia to say the least.

Cirie is huge here at Sucks and Parvati and Eliza both have a decent fanbase, but on the other hand James was still a fan favorite (which=UGH) and Ozzy is very appreciated by a lot of people (because he can swim...I guess). And allegedly some people liked Tracy and Erik. And Jonathan? He also has like a little cult. And kenc333 likes Amanda. lol.

Maybe if you'd rooted for the Faves like 90% of people, you'd have enjoyed it more. Someone on your side of the argument said that. Also notice how you only mentioned favorites besides Tracy and Erik. Although Tracy was awesome, she was forgotten by most since she left early, and I can't name many others who liked Erik. I do not agree. No shit. I'm starting to think we don't agree on anything.

But it's not that unusual for fan reaction to be heavily biased to one tribe or another. There aren't a lot of Onion supporters either, so it's not like Gabon fandom was distributed amongst the entire cast or anything. Thailandsurvivor wrote: No shit.

Same goes for Sugar, Crystal, Ken, and Matty. 7 out of the final 10 doesn't sound too bad to me and that's not including the pre merge standouts.

Even though I wasn't necessarily basking in the love for some of these people, their fan base was palpable. Also, hating a character can tie you to a season just as much as liking someone. Plenty of people could write pages on their loathing of Ace or Gillian. Same goes for the love of Dan, despite the fact that he was a total tool.

I honestly don't think Gabon inspired fandom to the levels on par with certain people from CI, PI, Micro, Palau and other big cast seasons. Maybe Crystal, but that's it.

The main overrated seasons were Borneo and Australia which should both be dead last for being criminally boring seasons.

If Borneo and Australia were "criminally boring", then how is it that we've had 17 seasons of the series, with more to come? Or do you think that boring TV shows get renewed?

Sure, there are people who I'd like to see win, either because they have a good story or they use good strategy but, if they don't, I move on. I mean, unless a family member, a friend or a neighbor goes on the show, why care to such great lengths? That being said, China deserves a high rating just for breaking ground of filming in China, the great scenery they created for many challenges and the rewards showing local customs, landmarks and villages. As for the people, most players were very well developed and the story of this kid who watched Survivor from the start (much like most of us), who gets challenged by the big guys in his tribe, who has to counter Zhan Hu's plan to throw challenges and comes out on top anyway is very good. Gabon has merit for location and the great scenes with animals but I don't see anything else to put it anywhere but in the middle, an average season. Now, don't get me wrong; an average season of Survivor, for me, is still great TV.

People will watch anything on TV if they're bored. It was the new hip thing when it was on, so I'm not surprised it got a lot of viewers. I couldn't even watch through the first seasons though.

They're just valued for different reasons. I personally wish the show was more about people and gameplay and less about SHOCKING! NEW! TWISTS!, which would be a mixture of both worlds I guess.

I started at the beginning, but if the series hadn't gone on as long as it has and seen the much more entertaining seasons, I probably would've never became such a big fan of the series.
