This is one of the worst seasons I have ever watched. :wasted:
After watching the awful brazilian version of survivor watching these last two are being awesome to me
Are there any seasons that are THE BEST? Must watch and stuff.
I wanted Jeff to win he had some good moments.
And the tech mike displayed on the competition was genious episode 5
I dont see anything wrong with this season…
I didn’t even watch the last two episodes, that’s how bored I am with Survivor this season. Have they quit focusing on the boots because I’d like to know who the other contestants are.
No, they’ve been giving the boots some focus. And I think we’ll hear from a lot more people now, but that’s just me.
As for “the best” seasons, some people would say Micronesia: Fans vs Favourites was really good (myself not included), or that Heroes vs Villains was good (myself only kind of included for pre-merge, the ending, and watching a gigantic trainwreck of a game get played the whole time). A lot of people like China and for some reason some people like Cook Islands. Palau is really good, as is the first season (Borneo) and The Amazon. However, Pearl Islands is usually universally loved and I’d dare to say that’s probably the best season as it has a sort of old-school but kind of new-school feel to it. Lastly, I’d probably say you should check out Vanuatu if you can. It might start off a little slow in spots, but it gets to be freaking amazing. And plus, Vanuatu teaches us all a hell of a lesson in jury management.
I really think the best season of Survivor had to be the season where Russell Hantz debuted. I’m sorry, but you guys can’t tell me the weeks where he found idol after idol to blindside people wasn’t riveting. IMO he changed a lot about how people looked for idols in the seasons following that one. Dare anyone in here to disagree with me on that.
Well, I really didn’t like how the first 4 eps went, but with the events of the last ep, this season has nowhere to go but up.
re: older seasons
Heroes vs Villains and the Boston Rob vs Russell season were pretty good, I think.
Gabon I have fond memories of, mainly because the SRK thread for that was really active, and most were rooting for Ken the Smash Bros guy. :lol:
I’ll take the bait, sure. I found that season pretty boring. I mean, it was a one-sided Pagonging pre-merge, then John and Shambo being dumbasses post merge, and Russell NEEDING those Idols to be safe. I’m sorry, but if your only way of surviving a round is to find (and in his case, use) the Hidden Immunity Idol on account of a slew of votes getting your voted out otherwise, then you’re doing a crap ton of things wrong. Hell, NONE of the people that have won Survivor thus far are people that have only made it through a round because either they played a Hidden Immunity Idol, or had someone else play one on them. My main gripe (aside from people being crazy and thinking he should’ve won, when even Probst knew pre-filming that he would be a goat) was with the editing. It was ALL Russell ALL the time. We barely got to see anybody else, especially from Galu. Hell, did anybody even KNOW who Brett was for 90% of the season?
I actually went back and checked how many “Confessionals” (those one on one things they have where they explain and talk to the camera by themselves) that went down post season because some forum had actually been counting, and it went like this:
Russell: 118 (between 8 and 10 EVERY EPISODE)
The next highest was Shambo with 40, and the winner only had 24 total and didn’t get one until either episode 3 or 4. So pretty much, in 3 episodes of the season, we’d heard more from Russell then we’d EVER hear from the winner for the whole season. I know some people may find someone repeating their name like they’re a Pokemon and saying “I’m the greatest of all time!” 1000 times a week while playing a pretty bad game to be entertaining, but I prefer good gameplay, diversity and well, non-repetition.
My favorite is China, but for someone who is asking for “MUST WATCH and stuff” seasons. I would have to say seasons 19 and 20, simply for the fact that these two seasons have been discussed the most out of every other seasons out there past and recent. You’ll see heavy disadvantages the finalists had to overcome to get there.
I like the one with Johnny Fairplay…Also the one with blackaneese duo Ken & Crystal…Of course the debut of Russel Hantz & the one after that…Really though i like every Survivor season, i usually dont like the endings a.k.a. the bitter jury…
Yeah, they’re talked about, but for all the wrong reasons. Every time I hear somebody talk about how Russell is “the best player ever”, deserved to even come close to winning, or is entertaining at all, I have to shake my head and a little part of me dies. As well as my faith in humanity and people these days actually understanding how Survivor works.
Is Survivor: Tocantins good?
***Its in my country so it kinda raised some interest
I’ll watch china first ***
Tocantins is alright, but something about it feels kind of underwhelming. But it does have the original Coach, and Tyson doing Tyson things. Both of which are good.
China was good didn’t like the winner but it was a show on how to lose on tribal council.
Everything wrong was done there
Downloading pearl islands
Damn, you ran a train through China lol. Survivor sweets and candy is season 19/20.
I liked the winner a lot actually. They’re one of my favourite winners behind the Pearl Islands, Heroes vs Villains, Vanuatu, Palau, Amazon, and Guatemala winners. Part of it was because of how much of a fan they were and that they were living their dream.
I dunno man. Those ones, especially season 19 are a lesson in how NOT to edit a season. They’re also 2 shining examples of “how NOT to play Survivor” or “how to play Survivor and lose EVERY TIME”. Though, they’re still better than seasons 22 and 24.
Sweets and candy. Those seasons are the junk foods of the series.
I skipped almost all the end of Amazon I wanted deena and rob to win.
I can’t like the winner in China because there was no rival to it just some people trying to lose the worst way possible
I’m watching Fan vs Favorites and damn Mao makes me want to watch his season and Ozzy is the best survivor contestant.
Er…do you mean Yau-Man when you talk about Mao, by chance?
And the person who came third in China actually was playing a really good game and just totally blew the Final TC. But there was an interview up with the winner and they thought that the runner-up was actually going to win over them 4-3-0 and was legit surprised when they won.
Just finished FvsF really good
Yes Yau-Man, everyone loved/feared him…
The person third in china should enter as the worst TC player ever.
Watched first episode from Vanuatu slow.
