What is your favourite season of Survivor?

And what is your least favourite season?

Tried to clean up the other OneWorld thread, so all posts regarding Natalie/Russell/Samoa/Cirie etc. have been moved into this thread.

Oops... ***Basically Tyson thought that Danielle and Parvati would vote Russell and Russell vote for Parvati, making it 5-4.

No he didn't know Tyson was going to change his vote, he had nothing to DO with Tyson changing his vote. Tyson's vote change had to do with him thinking Russell and Danielle/Parvati would turn on each other, which happens a lot when there are two main targets. Instead, Tyson expected too much out of them and made a mistake in the end. Russell didn't make a brilliant move, he didn't make any move really. Russell, Parvati, and Danielle only benefited from Tyson's mistake.

And that's bogus to say he wanted to keep his alliance in tact. Russell and Parvati KNEW about the split vote, which is part of why Tyson figured they would fold and target after each other. If you know the vote is going to be 3-3-3 and you have a HII, why would you use it on your ally and not yourself? If Tyson didn't make his miscalculation, Russell would've sacrificed his game for Parvati. Everyone laughs at Erik giving Immunity in FvF and Brandon giving Immunity in South Pacific. Russell did the same thing, except he got lucky in the end. If Tyson voted along with the plan to go 3-3-3, everyone would put Russell in the same league as Erik and Brandon, people who get voted off with HIIs, etc.

And in regards to your #3 point, that's all irrelevant when you consider the fact that Russell would've been voted out. He merely dodged an assassination attempt and lucked out. It's fact. Just because a move works out for you doesn't mean it was smart.

Russell convinced Tyson that he was going to vote for Parvati. Just watch the youtube video that I posted. That's why he changed his vote.

No he didn't, that's not why he voted for Parvati. When the vote is split, it's not a terrible idea for the people being targeted to fold in and target each other. Tyson assumed that Parvati/Danielle would vote for Russell and Russell would vote for Parvati since they knew about the vote split. That would make it 5-4 for Russell. Tyson, however, wanted Parvati out more than Russell (Russell had the advantage of people not knowing who he was in HvV) so he figured if he switched his vote, it would be 5-4 Parvati. Considering all other things the same, if Tyson kept his original vote, Russell would be voted out after GIVING a HII to someone else. He just got extremely lucky because someone else made an error. If that wouldn't have happened, Russell would be in the same league as Erik and his nephew (whom he hypocritically criticizes), no doubt about that. The editors made it look like a big triumph for Russell but it was hardly that.

I'm pretty sure that's wrong and what SoBig said was right. Russell lied to Tyson and made him vote Parvati so that she would have majority votes, Tyson wanted to stay on the side of the majority and went with her too. Russell used HII and Tyson went.

Well you're wrong and you're disregarding what I'm saying about editing. You have 72 hours worth of footage to put into 45 minutes. Production can make it look like whatever they want it to look like. The editors gave Russell credit for it because they love doing that. But if you read any exit interview, you find out the real truth (what I've been saying this whole time.) Tyson put too much faith in Danielle/Parvati being smart and targeting Russell to save themselves and he took a calculated risk and went home because of it. Russell had nothing to do with what Tyson's decision, he had no influence in it. Tyson really wanted Parvati out so he took the initiative to switch his vote to get his way. Had that not happened and Russell gave his HII to Parvati, Russell would be going home and he'd be up there in the highest echelon of Survivor idiots with James Clement, Jason Siska, Erik Reichenbach, Brandon Hantz (whom he ironically criticizes and practically disowns for his poor gameplay.)

Hmmm

[ILoveTRW]

Just watched Heroes vs Villans, previous to this I had only seen 1 full season that being Palau. I loved Parvati, she should have won, although I was expected her to be all guns blazing from the way people go on about her but she was actually quite shy and reserved. Reading JT's letter was her best moment, hilarious. The 2 tribal councils where Russell used the idol on Parvati and Parvati using the idols on Jerri and Sandra were amazing moments. Not really much else to say about the season other than I swear half the guys are in the closet.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Only seen 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 so far

My favourite so far is 6 because its had so many power turns, one episode one person was top dog, the next episode they was out, and the bitchy princess drama queen ended up winning, good season as it was unpredictable.

I also liked 8 as Rob and Amber totally owned the game, but the juries bitterness was the best but most awkward thing I have seen so far.

7 and 2 was okay as well

3, although I liked the winner, the season has been my least favourite so far. Not that interesting apart from the younger generation vs the old people at the start.

Look forward to watching more seasons.

[Marc]

Actually no.... Stupid Rafe

[smartalec2718]

Best season: Gabon (yeah it's an unorthodox choice but for some reason I just loved the characters or loved to hate them, the challenges were interesting, I enjoyed the twists, and the three tribal councils where Charlie, randy and Corinne were voted out make up the best streak of tribals ever. The season suffers from Matty not winning, and if he had won the fire making challenge, he would have. But it's still great nonetheless.)

Worst season: of those that I've seen, one world (this is mostly by process of elimination. Borneo and AO were great. Africa was meh. Marquesas and Thailand were both poor, the latter was slightly mitigated by Brian. Amazon was mediocre. Pearl islands and all stars were great. Vanuatu and Palau were both horrendous but I liked Eliza and steph, respectively, so they squeak by. I havent seen guatemala, panama, or cook islands. I don't get why everyone hates on Fiji, I rather enjoyed it. China and Micronesia were above average. Tocantins, Samoa and HvV were all OK. I didn't watch redemption island or Nicaragua, and I like SP because I knew Sophie so watching her win was exciting. But I disliked or hated everything about one world. I didn't like Kim, Sabrina, Chelsea, or Kat. I detested Christina, Alicia, troyzan, and Colton. And the likes of jay, Jonas, mike and Leif were either too dumb or too unnoticeable to root for. The season was entirely predictable and had very little drama. When even probst admits a series is bad, you know it's an absolute **** stain).

[starry]

I've had a look at most of these enough now

I like - in no particular order

Cook Islands (Ozzy and Yul) Best top 2 finish ever. Probably the best winner, I hate the final jury say in this show (the losers judging the winners) but here it was hard for them to make a mistake.
Heroes v Villains (Russell and Parvati) Amazing Tribal Council moments, great cast
Samoa (Russell) A star was born

And to an extent, though I couldn't be bothered with the finales really

Fiji (Yau Man) and a nice alliance (with Earl)
China (Pee-Gee) Amanda was ok, but I liked the other tribe more. Denise probably one of the worst ever.
South Pacific (Ozzy) Featured one of the greatest Survivors ever in his element (winning challenges). Also the Coach-Brandon Hantz thing was pretty weird, and gave a great moment as crybaby Hantz was eliminated.

Best Seasons: Gabon, Nicaragua, Heroes vs. Villains, Borneo, Pearl Islands, Exile Island

Worst Seasons: One World, Guatemala, Fiji, Palau

[LemonJam]

I'm very torn on Guatemala as a season because the pre-merge was SO boring but after that it became really good IMO.

[Marc]

I've recently rewatched Guatemala - poor Rafe

[reece(:]

What's this years one? One world? I enjoyed that.

[starry]

One World was ok until most of the big male characters left, I wasn't that interested in the end of it.

I'm the opposite of LemonJam as I actually quite liked the first half or a bit more of Guatemala (nice tough environment and challenges), but after that I didn't like very many of those who were left and so didn't finish it.

[Jenn-CityIVLyfe]

Favorite Seasons: Guatemala, Micronesia, Panama, and Vanuatu
Least Favorite: Redemption Island

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Favourite Seasons - Amazon, Pearl Island, Exile Island, Guatemala, Fiji (Well I liked it), FvF, Hero vs Villains and One World (Again I liked it)

Least Fav - Make sure Rob wins by putting him on a tribe with brainless zombies.... I mean Redemption Island

[reece(:]

One World is sooo underrated.
