I have currently seen every full season of Survivor, meaning I have many opinions, good and bad, that I would like to share. I didn't start watching it weekly on t.v., however, until season 15, Survivor:China.

My favorite Survivor castaway(s)

 * 1: Gretchen Cordy- She was eliminated way to early, but because of her leadership skills, sharp mind, and strength. A great and original player.
 * 2: Yul Kwon- One of the most ingenious players ever to compete on Survivor, and possibly one of the most deserving winners. Smart, Strong, and likeable. Triple threat, yet he won.
 * 3: Troyzan Robertson- He was very strong and very likeable, even after he showed some arrogance towards the ladies. They deserved it, though, after backstabbing him. I hope he returns for another shot.
 * 4: Margaret Bobonich- She was extremely likeable and lost her shot because of that villain Judd who double-crossed her and her entire tribe. She was strong and smart, too.
 * 5: Tom Buchanan- He was hilarious and very fun to watch and I loved him even more on All-Stars.
 * 6: Rodger Bingham- Very likeable and I wish he had been on another season.
 * 7: Rupert Boneham- He was an awesome contestant because of his likeability and his strength. I remember him in Pearl Islands being such a huge threat. When you think of Survivor, you think of 1: Australian Outback, or 2: Rupert.
 * 8: Elisabeth Hasselbeck- So sweet and for being so small, she did pretty good in the challenges, too!
 * 9: Julie Wolfe- She was strong and i remember rooting for her in Survivor: Redemption Island. She took out Russel and warned her team not to throw the challenge, being a firm believer in kharma, but they did anyway, and eventually went down one by one. If only they had listened to her..
 * 10: Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien- I thought she was one of the nicest people to platy the game and was very strong, competitive, and kept true to her morals. A over-all amazing person and player, I wonder why she didn't come back on Heroes vs Villaians?

My favorite Season(s)

 * 1 Australia: The best season ever. It has contestants such as Elisabeth, Rodger, Alicia, Colby, Tina, Jerri, Amber, and Michael. Memorable moments such as Kimmi and Alicia's "chicken fight", Michael falling intoSurvivor Kimmi VS Alicia the fire, Rodger giving Elisabeth the heart-shaped rock for her boyfriend and their father-daughter relationship, and Colby dominating in challenges and dominating the game, only to lose to Tina in the end. Did I forget to mention the little click between Amber and Jerri? I remember Jerri accused Kel of eating beef jerkey and got him voted off for no good reason. She also butted heads with Keith. Oh, and Keith! He won the first two immunities and honestly is comparable to Colby. He won two and would have won two more, only in one challange he dropped a key on his way to winning and another he threw away him bucket when it looked like he was going to win a challange, only to reveal he needed one more bucket full of water. Both mistakes cost him, and Colby wended up winning both immunity challenges.
 * 2 Cook Islands: A very good season where the underdogs dominate in the end. I definitely recommend Survivor - Becky & Sundra Can't Make Fireing. Yul dominated mentally and Ozzy physically, bringing the Aitu 4 a long way, to the final four. The other 2 from the 4, Becky and Sumndra, will be forever ignored because they couldn't make fire. Also: I loved Candice and Jonathan was disgusting. So really that wraps this up, the wrest you would have to see for yourself.
 * 3 Guatemala: A very good season, only it's a shame that Margaret got out so early. Dumb Judd.. Stephenie ruined her hero title earned last Survivor Memories - 30 - Judd vs Margaretn and got her hands dirty, which the way she played really cost her in the end. However, everybody always will remember her for the way she played in Palua and look past Guatemala's Stephenie.
 * 4 Borneo: The season that started it all and set an example of how it was going to be played. Sue gave her famous "Rats and Snakes" speech... Nothing more needs to be said, am excellent season.
 * 5 Africa: People complain about a "self-righteous winner", but I am very happy with the winner because he is a great guy that was smart, won challenges, and was very Sue's famous Rat and Snake speech to everybody. A great season. I liked Tom and Teresa a lot, too.
 * 6 Micronesia: Haha! wow, so much happened this season between Jason's dumby-idol, causing Eliza's downfall, Ami's breakdown, the powerful girl's alliance with the powerful veteran alliance within it, Kathy and infamous Jonny Fairplay quitting, Penner making you feel bad for him, James being medically evacuated, a challenge causing the most injuries ever and being officially retired, Erik's fatal move that was nominated for the dumbest ever in Survivor, and Ozzy's blindside. Wow, if this is ranked number 6, then imagine how good the ones above it are!Survivor Big Tom and Ethan
 * 7 Amazon: This season was amazing and you never knew what would happen next. I loved Christy and her accomplishments, proving that she could do anything she set her mind too, and she is probably eleventh on my favorites list. Jenna and Heidi had a great friendship, and were two really likeable people this season, and it also included Rob as the villain. Also, Butch accidently burnt down their shelter and Deena was a cool person that was really fun to watch, only to be eliminated becuse of Alex, who just would end up going the next week anyway! Oh, and who could forget Matt! He was always interesting to watch and I'm glad he got as far as he did. I recommend watching this season.
 * 8 Panama: Cirie's first season and although a lot of people loved Terry, I found him arrogant. I liked the winner and didn't like Cirie getting voted out, but the first real Exile Island season turned out pretty good.
 * 9 South Pacific: An under-appreciated season that had a highly deserving winner. It also included the third times Coach and Ozzy have competed. The final season of Redemption Island was good between Christine dominating round one and Ozzy dominating round two.
 * 10 Vanuatu: Wow, the person that you expected out at 7th came back and won it. Twila, a great competitor, gave him a chance in the game and he took it and the two went to the finals. Loved the outcome, especially Ami's elimination.
 * 11 Marquesas: Why some people say this isn't a very good season, I don't know. Kathy was a great competitor that is tenth on my favorites and I really enjoyed this season. It was great when the people that were running the show got abruptly pushed off of their high horses and crashed down hard. I loved the shift of power in the game when the people lowest in the power alliance joined the next people that were to go and voted out the leaders. It's just a shame that Vecepia won, because she really didn't do a whole lot.
 * 12 All-Stars: It was good, only the castaways were dumb around the end, choosing not to team up against Survivor Allstars Sue Quits and "Ambuh" and vote them out, because they would obviously bring each other to the final two. It was predictable, but good. Memorable moments: 1 Sue exploding, causing a huge scene, then quitting. I felt bad for her. 2 Rob and Amber's movie date 3 Rupert's fishing and loveable personality Lowpoints: 1 Jenna going from being pretty likeable to being pretty dislikable. 2 Alicia being a hero of mine, being ranked number one on my favorites list, then ruining it all this season proving to be a disappointment and doing nothing, complaining along the way. Now she isnt even in the top ten. Predictable seson, but pretty good.
 * 13 Palau: A good season with Stephenie dominating in challenges yet her team always weighs her down. I remembered her shooting a target every time in a challenge then between the rest of her team they only shot the target about twice. Had Stephenie ended up on a good team she could have dominated the game, as well as the challenges. Plus, I do think Tom deserved to win but didn't see him as a hero after he backstabbed Stephenie.
 * 14 China: A really good season, being James and Amanda's first. I also likes Denise a lot and Peih Gee, I wish one of them would return. Todd was a bit of a villain that kept things interesting but in the end, even though I didn't like him, he deserved to win. This was the first season I watched weekly.
 * 15 Pearl Islands: A good season, but I just didn't like Burton making it as far as he did. I actually did enjoy Lil and do think she deserved her spot because she was very sweet. I know a lot of people will disagree but that's my opinion and i'm sticking to it. However, i do wish Lil had stayed with Rupert. I am glad that she voted out Andrew Savage because he seemed way arrogant and I really thought he was rude when he pulled his tribe aside and told them to vote out whoever returned first. He just bothered me.
 * 16 Fiji: Oh, a pretty good season, with some problems, though. I loved Yau-Man and when Dreamz went ona dn on about how he would honor his commitment and hoped he would win immunity just to tech his kid that he would do the right thing, I thought to myself, "Self, this guy is really cool!" But when he kept the immunity for himself! Woah! I was glad he lost. Very glad. Do not like Dreamz. Cassandra reminded me of Cirie. I didn't like one tribe living in luxury, I'm glad they got rid of that. unfair advantage. Lastly, Rocky was a freak, Mookie was annoying, and Alex was the stereotype of a lawyer.
 * 17 Redemption Island: A good season, but Rob was the clear winner from the beginning. I didn't like when Zapetera threw the challenge to vote out Ruseel, I mean, I didn't like him either, but I wouldn't do that. Julie said the same thing, and I really liked Julie, but oh well. Philip was strange and shouldn't have been in the finals.
 * 18 Samoa: Russel. Good and bad part of the season. Good: he kept it interesting and made you want to come back week after week. Bad: I hated him. Eitherway, he was the highlight of the show and deserved to win. Natalie shouldn't have won, even though at the time I really wanted her to beat Russel, now that I look back, he really did deserve it.
 * 19 Gabon: Deserving winner. I really liked Sugar and Crystal was hilarious, especially when she voted Randy out. I hated Corinne, and when Randy acted like a jerk and everything at camp and then played Bob's fake idol at tribal council, I remember laughing out loud to that.
 * 20 Tocantins: Honestly, I don't remember this season very much. The things I talk about are all I do remember. I hated Coach and thought he was a wack-job. Ioved Taj and didn't think she should have been voted out at fourth place. I hated Stephen and thought he was just a jerk and I loved J.T. probably more than any other castaway ever up until he blinsided Taj, after that he was just OK and was no longer considered a hero to me. That is really all I remember. Oh, didn't Coach tell some weird story about him traveling the Nile River or something?
 * 21 Thailand: People always say this season is terrible, but honestly, I enjoyed it! It had memorable moments, like Ghandia and Ted's feud and the Chuay Ghan tribe celebrating Helen's anniversary. I loved when Robb, the little immature freak-turned inspirational speaker, and a bunch of his team mates were disqualified for the first time ever from a challenge. I laughed hard at that. The only thing was it was...different to me compared to any other Survivor season. It was just different in a way hard to describe. I don'tknow what it was, it almost seemed like a different show in a way, but by no means was it bad!
 * 22 Heroes vs. Villains: A disappointment compared to the name of the season. I thought it would be the greatest season yet, but it was not. Colby was disappointing in challenges, Stephenie was voted out for a terrible reason, Cirie and Sugar did not live up to their past hero ways, nor did James. I was upset when Candice turned on h er heroes tribe, I had really liked her, and Rob was a bit more light-hearted this season compared to his others. Russel once again dominated the game and Jerri changed her villain title to a hero title, in my opinion. And how did somebody win TWICE? I was disappointed in this season.
 * 23 Nicaragua: Boring.
 * 24 One World: Predictable. From the merge on it was painfully obvious Kim would win. Everybody could see it. Plus, Colton made me sick to my stomache between the way he treated bill and Christina, and Alicia was just as annoying. Terrible cast, or at least this should be the last time they divide by gender. The one highlight of the whole season was Troyzan. The dumbest cast ever, too. WHO GIVES UP IMMUNITY? Oh well, that season is gone for good now, thankfully.
