'''1. Australia... First season I bought on DVD, has a special place in my heart and Colby will forever be one of my favorite Survivor contestants and personal heroes of all time (we don't talk about his Hv.V moments) '''

2. Cagayan. This cast had such a great varity of players and always kept me on my feet. Not to mention the introduction to my love of Spencer! And some of the great strategical characters like, Spencer, Tony, Tasha, Kass and some more interesting like, Morgan, Woo and Trish. Even early boots like Brice were great players.

3. Nicaragua. A season for many rated so low, ( I do despise the medallion of power) I just love how Fabio dominated, Na'Onka went off on everyone, Marty was always strategic and Jane was pretty awesome. I think this season had a great cast, which made it in my top 3.

4. Fiji. Such an underated season, but one of my favorites. Read my above comments, for more on Fiji.

5. Gabon. I love this season mostly because of all the scheming and all of the unpredictability. It kept me on my toes.

6. China. A great season, with witty remarks (thanks to Courtney and her dark humor) and a deserving winner and great final tribal council. I also loved the sassiness and attitudes of this season from many contenders. This was the Peih-Gee's prime (we don't speak of her Cambodia moments).

'''7. Tocantins. I mainly liked this season because of Tyson. Who doesn't laugh at his jokes. It also introduced Coach and had great moments, strong alliances and Sierra although, being despised by much of her tribe, some how making it further than Tyson.'''

8. Samoa. A special place in my heart, this was the season, where I first started watching survivor, this is where it grabbed my attention, I got hooked and went and watched every season of Survivor and have been an avid fan since. Watching it first, I loved Russell, but after his third time playing I got annoyed and tired of him, and rewatching Samoa, I started rooting for Brett, even though I knew he wasn't going to win. Brett should definitely return for a season. Also, I really didn't like Laura Morrett!

9. Worlds Apart. Although, a recent season, I think I really liked it, because after the burden of watching SJDS, I had to appreciate how good this season was in comparison and getting into it, I loved how fractured the dynamics were and how personal the game got. It made it intriguing to watch.

10. The Amazon. This was a great season, and while I didn't really like the whole emphasis on it being "girls and boys" and the we don't like you because you are young and pretty dynamics, I enjoyed how Rob C. basically controlled everyone and the game and was Robbed (no pun intended) of the winning crown. I don't like Jenna, and I think she (although, admirably winning) she is my least favorite winner. I loved the dynamics of this season and how everyone seemed to have a geniunly good time.

11. Heroes vs. Villains. Survivor picked the best cast of all returnees and provided me with a pleasurable, on my toes season of survivor, memorable for it being historic, epic and having been the only season with a double winner. Also, notable for dumb moves, i.e J.T giving the immunity idol to Russell.

12. Pearl Islands. This season had a lot of enthralling moments. I was on my feet. And also had some fractured dynamics. I hated the outcast twist, however which remains a huge reason why its not near the top.

13. Micronesia. A great season, would be ranked higher if it hadn't pained me to see Eric's dumb move. I have to fastforward everytime because a part of my heart breaks still watching it. Also (much love to Penner)!

14. Palau. Mostly because I love Ian, and wish he had won the whole season. I loved many elements of this season, but it did have some major moments where it lagged.

15. Blood Vs. Water. Tyson. Tyson. Tyson! !!! Need I say anymore (although, he lost his funny factor)

17. Panama. Such a great season, with exile playing a huge factor in social dynamics and the constant domination of Terry, the unexpected greatness of Cirie and the crazy-but likable Shane, has a great deal to do with why I ranked it here. Some moments, got lost for me, however.

18. Borneo. The genesis of Survivor. Much respect, you have to appreciate that if it wasn't for this season, it wouldnt be the phenomena that it is today.

19. Cook Islands. Although, controversial, I am an adament supporter of the twist and also believe that Yul is the godfather of Survivor. Such a likable Aitu alliance that is one of the best in history, dominated and showed that loyalty and determination also can take you far.

20. Koh Rong. Good season, but too many med-evacs to the point where it kind of ruined the essence of the season, and the "could haves" for me tremendously changed the game. Imagine if Caleb and Neal (aside from Joe) wern't medically evacuated, the game dynamics would differ immensly, I think.

21. Cambodia. Did not live up to it's potential. Good, but could've been so much better.

22. Thailand. Only, slightly better than All-Stars, wasn't a great season, but did have some good moments and Brian was very cunning, and had some very memorable and worthwhile moments.

23. All-Stars. Didn't really like the way it ended and it was anticipated, had some good moments but still lagged a lot.

24. Philippines. Good season. Malcolm was good, I didn't like the three tribes and appreciated Denise being the winner. Was a very "okay" season.

25. Vanuatu. Good dynamics, but somewhat forgettable.

26. Caramoan. Return of interesting players made it interesting, as well as their interactions with fans, wasn't my favorite (I do wish Shemar and Reynold) will return for a season.

27. Redemption Island. The only reason why it is not last is because of Phillip, he made things interesting and wasn't your typical final 2. The whole Boston Rob coming back was definitely a huge edit to make him win. Everyone pretty much handed Rob a million dollars.

28. South Pacific. My favorite part of this season was being introduced to Cochran who is my alltime favorite player!

29. One World. Good season, but I hated a lot of the women and how much they needed the "men" at the begining. I got annoyed most of the time and lost it when Troyzan went home. This season made me angry.

'''30. Africa. The location, I didn't like and the season lagged as well. '''

31. Guatemala. Long, lagging season. Interesting moments, but for the most part is was very slow and didn't really keep me on my feet.

32. San Juan Del Sur. Worst season for me. Most of the cast I did not like or enjoy. Nothing really memorable, except Reed's final jury speech which was epic.

I completely disagree with those three!

Australia is in my bottom 5. It has a boring cast, little to no strategic moves. Post-merge was good but not enough to save it. Colby annoyed me.

Tocantins has one of the most predictable elimination orders I've seen. I can't remember half the cast and most of the half I can remember are bad. It's not a great season at all. Also in my bottom 5.

Africa is amazing! I can't understand why it's in your bottom 3. It was the first season to truly focus on the survival aspect and the location was actually great. The cast was amazing and the tribe dynamics were exciting to watch, especially pre-swap Samburu. The tribe switch shook up the game so well and saved Teresa, who would go on to be one of the best strategists of the season. There was a lot of interesting strategy. I loved the pre-merge and I absolutely loved the post-merge, watching the trainwreck that was Lex and the trainwreck that was the Samburu tribe, It's number 5 in my season rankings!
