For now I'll exclude Caramoan from the rankings...but at the end of my list I'll say where I would put it if the season ended today...

25 - Redemption Island - Hate the cast, hate the redemption island twist, hate the pagonging, hate that production created a season where either Rob or Russell could steamroll everybody.

24 - Samoa - There were 20 people, and I swear Russell took up at least 35/40 minutes of every episode. Natalie winning is the only reason I didn't rank it as the worst season ever.

23 - South Pacific - It was the Coach & Ozzy show.

22 - Nicaragua - There were a few good characters like Holly & Brenda, but that was about it. The cast was pretty dull, and not very strategic (hence Fabio winning), plus the two quitters really was like salt in the wound

21 - Fiji - I liked the season, and some of the people but the rich vs. poor twist was completly unfair and created such a boring pre-merge.

20 - Heroes vs. Villains - See Samoa.

19 - Palau  - I loved it when it aired, but I just don't enjoy watching it again as much as I do other seasons, plus Tom winning brings it down a few pegs for me

18 - One World - I thought this was a really fun season, there wasn't anything ground breaking with strategy, but there were a lot of fun characters, and it was refreshing to see all new players again

17 - Tocantins - I really liked the back to basics season and the shake ups that happened throughout the game. J.T. winning is the only complaint I have about the season.

16 - Panama - Solid season, there just wasn't anything spectacular about it.

15 - Thailand - Good old school season, not as great as the rest, but definitely an underrated season, lots of cool characters, plus the fake merge twist is easily one of the most shocking twists in Survivor history.

14 - China - Great season, great location, great winner.

13 - Guatemala - VERY underrated season, the conditions were super tough, and there was so much character development, I loved it! Not to mention Danni's underdog story those last few episodes has to be one of if not the greatest underdog story in Survivor history.

12 - All-Stars - I know a lot of people don't like this season, but I thought it was really good. Rob & Amber really redefined survivor this season, and did what nobody thought was possible in making it to the end together.

11 - Cook Islands - Love the Aitu 4's come from behind to win. Plus so many great characters/strategists like Penner, Yul, Parvati, Candace, etc all came from this season. Loved it!

10 - Micronesia - A Survivor Classic, need I say more?

9 - Philippines - One of the best new school seasons of all time. The cast was absolutely flawless, every week was interesting, and I honestly didn't know who was going to win for most of the game, this season just came together beautifully.

8 - Gabon - Amazing season, the location was so beautiful and the cast was really interesting. One of the most competitive casts I'd say, plus there were so many shakeups with the Ace blindside, and then Marcus going home and the downfall of the Onion alliance, and Bob's rally to the top. Plus it had Corinne who's just perfection<3

7 - Marquesas - Awesome old school season, the very first power shift in Survivor history happened here and it really changed the game. Plus the totally unexpected final two is what made this season so great.

6 - Vanuatu - Another really underrated season. What I loved most was how different it was from all other survivor seasons with the young men leaving so early and the women dominating the pre-merge and the first half of the post-merge game, plus Chris defeating 6 women and going on to win the game was just amazing. Plus characters like Eliza, Twila, Ami, Julie & Chris really made the season enjoyable

5 - Pearl Islands - A classic Survivor season. Sandra, and Jonny Fairplay became legends in this season, especially all the classic moments like the dead grandmother lie, Sandra's backstab of Burton & Lill, the Rupert blindside, so many great moments, fun season.

4 - Borneo - The Season that started it all, need I say more?

3 - Africa - Such an underrated season, and possibly one of if not my favorite season to rewatch. I love the rivialry in Samburu at the beginning and how it leads to all of their demises. Plus the first tribal swap really shook the game up. Not to mention awesome characters like Kelly G, Lex, Teresa & Ethan!

2 - Australian Outback - The best cast in Survivor history, no doubt, all 16 people were absolutely amazing and when they came together the season was truely magical. I have nothing bad to say about this season, I loved every minute of it.

1 - Amazon - The first season of Survivor I ever saw, and to this day it's still my favorite. I loved the original battle of the sexes concept. Plus Rob Cesternino made the game completley unpredictable from week to week, especially post merge. Not to mention all the great moments like the chocolate and peanut butter fiasco, Matt and the Machete, the garnola bar, not to mention 3 of the best blindsides in a row (Deena, Alex & Christy)

As of right now, I'd rank Caramoan as #21 - The past few episodes have been very very good, but those first 8 episodes were nearly unbearable.
