China felt like old school Survivor without being boring; best theme and location.
Micronesia is the best in terms of over-the-top twists, confessionals, and shocks. Gabon has the best characters; underdogs come from behind and topple the villains which makes for a very satisfying middle to end. Ken/Crystal/Sugar/Matty/Bob/Randy/Corrine <3 Tocantins has the best characterization; similar to China in terms of the feel. Gabon/Micronesia China Tocantins (but I love them all) |

Gabon is the best one by far, and Tocantins is probably the worse.
I loved Gabon's castaways, and it really seemed like I got to know most of them, unlike most of the current seasons. Tocantins overall was very predictable, and there were only a few good characters.. Not my favourite at all. |

I'd possibly throw in Sierra but even she was invisible for half of the season and Tyson was just.. Coach's little sidekick. Nothing special. There's no explanation for some people consistently being under the radar when it's only a 16 person cast. -_- However, I did root for the supporting characters because I hate when they shove people down our throats. For me it goes: 1.) Micronesia/China (I can't decide between them. I loved the strategy and the female alliance in Micro but I thought China was an old throwback (good characters, good location, good challenges, and no Exile Island) 3.) Gabon (The Good vs. Evil thing was a bit contrived but it had good characters) 4.) Tocantins (Boring, shitty)

Gabon: Great characters and the game wasn't based solely around who could out-blindside who else. It was a real nice change, given Micronesia.
China: Almost everyone got a decent edit, including pre-merge boots, and there were a lot of great characters in the cast. Micronesia: The pre-merge cost us all the best characters, and then the only thing that kept the show from being complete shit was the blindside factor. Tocantins: Not even the maximum level of Coachownage was enough to save this shitty season. |

No matter what order they're in, Tocantins should still be last simply for 75% of the merge playing for JT to win.

China was NOT an old school style season. Where this myth came from, I'll never know.

I thought Tocantins actually did have good characterization upon rewatch. Once you're able to just ignore Coach's shenanigans (which is easy the
second time around since they are oh so old), you realize the distinctiveness of Taj, Erinn, Brendan, Tyson, Debbie, and Sierra, all of whom played the game
differently. Joe, Sydney, and Jerry were the only real mute duds, and they were gone early.

1. China (After Cook Islands/Fiji I started to really dislike the show and think it was getting boring... China I coudn't stop watching the season and
loved it!)
2. Micronesia (I really hated the fact it wasn't an all stars... but it still had some extremely entertaining moments when I accepted the Fans Vs Favs thing... 3. Gabon (Didn't like as much as everyone else... but it was still a pretty good season I thought.... Hated the final 3 though) 4. Tocanshit (Didn't like it.... predictable, boring, not many likable characters (No coach was no likable)... end that with a boring winner and you got a pretty pathetic season. |

1. Micronesia - Duh, was there a better season at all? Not to mention Parvati pwnd.
2. China - I loved Todd and Courtney 3. Tocantins - Great season but JT was the worst winner ever. Literally. Gabon doesn't even deserve a spot on here, Piece of shit season. |

I loved both Micronesia & China.
Gabon is okay, cause sometimes I love it & other times I hate it, ya know. Tocantins is easily one of the worst seasons ever. Bad editing, nothing special cast, bleh winner. But we already knew that much. |

1. China was amazing. So many great characters, and had a smaller cast so almost everyone got decent airtime. The cast was likeable, yet still delivered drama etc. Jeff P said that China saved survivor because they were getting ready to end with fvf but after they saw the ratings for china, they were saved. 2. Gabon - similiar to china as far as having alot of likeable contestants yet still plenty of drama. If someone in the final four besides bob had won, i
might have ranked this above china.
