29 is a STELLAR and recent season. Everyone's expectations were very VERY low because of the gimmicky twist, but it's a modern day masterpiece and I would recommend to anyone.
25-27 are also really good modern day seasons. 25 is universally loved and it came at just the right time (its impact is similar to Survivor China and Philippines happening after a string of very very very bad seasons), 26 is another season where the gimmick seems awful but the cast is great enough to outweigh it, and 27 is a really slow burner with one team taking up WAY too much screen time but the endgame is superb.
For more old school seasons, 5 is essential viewing if only for the Charla/Mirna experience (and the Colin/Christie experience, which is great enough on its own but wow they're actually coming back to our television screens), 3 is uh-mazing, and then 1, 2, 6, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20 are all very solid.
If you're interested in your Survivor/BBUS crossovers, Alison from BBUS4 is on TAR5, Jordeff are on TAR16 (which is such a bad season that they are somehow one of the best teams), Jessica and Cody were on the recent TAR30 (which is fine, lots of people love it but I think it was merely okay), Romber were on TAR7 and 11 (and surprisingly they were a suffocating presence on both seasons... 11 is an All-Star season btw), Ethan and Jenna are on TAR19, and Brenchel are on TAR20 and 24 (24 is an All-Stars season and is ATROCIOUS). I think that's everyone?
OH, and Natalie/Nadiya are on TAR21 and 24, which are both very very bad seasons but 21 *might* be worth it for the Twinnies Experience.
