Survivor 12: Panama.
 

I've just completed it.

Overall it was a solid season, it was a bit of a slow burner in the first couple of episodes, but I would say that it was getting better and better until Bruce had to get pulled out of the game because then all of the big personalities just fell one by one imo.

The eliminations earlier on didn't bother me too much though (apart from Misty who had potential to be a good contestant) because while they wasn't horrible people they didn't exactly bring much to the table in terms of entertainment either.

And apart from the odd "I miss my family" segments then some of these contestants wouldn't have bothered me at all.

Anyway here's my rankings.

1. Courtney
2. Shane
3. Bruce
4. Cirie
5. Misty
6. Bobby
7. Nick
8. Sally
9. Ruth-Marie
10. Melinda
11. Aras
12. Tina
13. Dan
14. Terry
15. Danielle
16. Austin

Courtney and Shane made this season for me with their chaotic relationship with each other, truly iconic.

The final 3 was really flat for me, Aras was annoying, Danielle was boring, and Terry was smug and tried to portray himself as the all American dream.

Overall some great fun in the middle period though.

Bruce, Shane, Courtney and Cirie are my top 4 also :love:

I'm glad that you agree with me on this, especially on Shane who I imagine divided people lol.

Tbh them four made the season for me, without them it wouldn't have been the same I don't think.

I don't think any other tribe in Survivor history will have the same entertainment value as Casaya :love: Fang in Gabon comes pretty close but each tribe member in Casaya just feels like a unique character. The fact they all manage to stick together post-merge even when they all want to kill each other is amazing and creates probably the funniest season of Survivor ever. It might even be my favourite.
