Next February probably

Oh wow I just realized I've seen 14 seasons already. Idk if I'll continue on the pace I was at but I should be able to finish a good amount by February.

Finished Pearl Islands after finally getting back to watching it the past few days. This season was ALL about Jonny Fairplay for me. Definitely lived up to the hype. Also, I remember hearing about the grandma lie before but I either completely forgot or never knew it was from him. Idk how to feel about it, maybe too far of a lie, but I can't hold that against him when he was super entertaining and was the main contributor in making this season so good. Power shifts, quality final 5 endgame and everything.

The amount of power shifts in this season was crazy. There's maybe like 1 or 2 power shifts on most Survivor seasons and this one had shifts almost every episode. :joker: I loved the way Jonny Fairplay played the game to basically make all of this happen.

---(faves)---
1. Jonny
---(liked)---
2. Darrah
3. Osten
4. Skinny Ryan
5. Sandra (I didn't really like her at first but her attitude and the way she played really grew on me :joker:)
6. Tijuana
7. Burton (interesting scenario because he was one of my least favorite but then I kinda liked him after his return)
8. Lillian (I liked the little trio she had with Jonny & Burton but I most liked her in the beginning with Skinny Ryan)
---(ok)---
9. Christa
10. Rupert (mixed feelings on him; sometimes I liked him sometimes I didn't)
11. Andrew
---(meh)---
12. Nicole
13. Michelle
14. Shawn
---(dislike)---
15. Ryan O
16. Trish

Hard to even explain why these bottom two are dislikes. I just never liked them for whatever reason but nothing major.

This was an interesting cast. There was barely anyone I REALLY liked or REALLY disliked but overall it was a quality cast and they meshed well together to make it a great season. :clap1:

Gabon is next for me. I'll probably start it tonight. Looking forward to seeing Corinne's original season.

you should be looking forward to seeing THE Kelly Jean Czarnecki

jk you probably won't like her

Well 1 episode into the season... Who is Kelly Jean? :joker: Is she not in the first episode AT ALL? I honestly don't remember seeing her even once unless she's going by a different name or something.

So I just got through the episode where Kelly goes. She's definitely not awful but wasn't one of my favorites either. I'd probably consider her "ok" in my rankings. Maybe even a weak "like"... sort of enjoyable I guess but nothing special.

Ace sucks though. I like Matty & Sugar a lot but the fact that they're close with him SMH. I was really liking the GC/Ken/Crystal group but the way it kinda fell apart and GC went. </3

Just got to the Marcus blindside and WOW I can't believe Ken & Crystal have lasted this long after things were looking grim. :clap1: I thought at least one of them would be gone by now for sure with the way things were going.

Also I'm LOVING Corinne again :laugh3: but I really don't like anyone else in her group lol...

Just got to Crystal going and I'm actually really happy with that. I've gone through a 180 with Kenny & Crystal. Been liking them less and less as the season has went on. Matty, Sugar & Corinne (</3) >>>>>>>>>>

---(faves)---
1. Matty
2. Sugar
3. Corinne (dropped her from possibly 1 to 3 simply because of her nastiness at the jury questioning but that attitude is part of what made her entertaining throughout the season so she's definitely still #3 at worst)

(top 3 were in a category of their own and pretty tough to rank)

4. Dan
5. G.C.
---(liked)---
6. Paloma
7. Ken (top 5 for a while but soured a bit by the end)
8. Crystal (top 5 for a while but soured a bit by the end)
---(ok)---
9. Kelly
10. Jacquie
11. Bob
12. Susie
---(meh)---
13. Charlie (I feel like the gay guy character is just copy & paste in Survivor? but he was one of the better ones just still not so good & kinda irrelevant)
14. Randy (mostly disliked for a while but kinda got funny by the end, what a perfect way for him to go tho :joker:)
15. Gillian
---(dislike)---
16. Michelle (seemed mean without much charisma or anything to it.. could've ended up being a character I loved but obviously didn't get to see much, there's a fine line there with her type of personality)
17. Marcus (not a bad guy at all but I rarely like this particular type of alpha male character)
18. Ace (self-explanatory)

Sugar getting 0 votes. </3 She actually deserved it over Bob. He was alright but in the game what did Bob even do? :shrug: For a second there I kinda thought Susie was gonna win. :laugh3:

2 episodes through Tocantins and idk about this cast so far. Most are either ok or I don't like them but things can change.

I do like that Sandy & Sierra stayed though. Sandy seems at least ok and I didn't really like Carolina at all. Candace was just ok as well and I'm in love with Sierra. :love:

How many seasons have you seen now jersey?

16 seasons I think, this one being my 17th.

Tocantins is a season of Survivor.

Just watched the episode where Sandy goes and I was starting to like her quite a bit these past 2 episodes. :/

Sierra is like for sure my favorite though. Unless J.T. gets better cause he's somewhat close. I like the potential of the Sierra/Brendan/Stephen/Taj two-tribe group because I like them all, probably in that order... but the preview I just saw for the next episode was completely against Brendan & Taj so it doesn't give me much hope.

Shugs Kiper should be number one!

Philippines (harder than I thought to rank because looking back, Lisa doesn't really seem the best of anything and Pete doesn't seem the worst of anything, nor do I really do justice to Abi or Katie or effing Dawson, but there we are)

Lisa
Denise
Abi
Carter oops
Malcolm
Katie
Dawson
Zane
Angie
Skoopin
RC
Penner
Artis
Russell
Roxy
Dana
Jeff
Pete

And now from the sublime to the ridiculous(-ly ****) as I move onto/force myself through Caramoan

Been slacking on the finale but I just finished Tocantins... I enjoyed it. Also, a pretty amazing boot order. Like I would say it turned out to be a really good final 9, final 8, 7, etc. The ones I didn't like helped make things entertaining and most of the ones I did like beat them and made it to the very end.

---(faves)---
1. Sierra
2. J.T.
3. Stephen
4. Erinn (she really emerged towards the middle to end)
5. Taj
---(liked)---
6. Brendan (dulled out a bit and then got out but he was one of my faves in the very early episodes)
7. Sandy
8. Sydney
---(ok)---
9. Spencer
10. Candace
---(meh)---
11. Jerry
12. Tyson
13. Carolina
---(disliked)---
14. Joe
15. Debbie
16. Coach

The Coach/Tyson/Debbie trio sucked but they were actually fun to root against and that itself is just great for a season when I feel that way about my least favorites. Pretty much all satisfying boots for them as well. Kinda entertaining in their own ways but unlikable in their own ways sooo idk... Coach for example was funny to watch after a while yet still painful and often annoying to watch at the same time. I guess for me I would compare him to Jozea but not exactly on the level of delusion or entertainment so I guess a bit worse. :shrug: And that's why I rank him last despite sort of enjoying what he brought to the season. Also there was TOO much of him too.

Debbie's last three episodes are everything how dare you

Debbie not knowing how to do math at the auction :p :love:

I never really 'got' her in Gabon but yep, I wouldn't like to think about what I would have done to myself if I'd have had to watch Caramoan without Corinne's narration about how much she loves the gays to go along with it

Also the best moment of the season was that musical rendition of Hold Up Bro done entirely in Lego, and everything else, as I suspected, sucked

JT :love:
Good rankings Jersey!
