I've watched three more seasons since I last posted here (Palau, Guatemala, Panama)..

Palau was OK. The only two I really liked were Bobby Jon & Stephanie which was mainly motivated by their storyline, but the cast was interesting enough despite the terrible final three. I was surprised to see at the reunion that Tom was so popular as a player, I didn't think he was that great and essentially profitted from everybody else's idiotic decisions.

Guatemala had a brilliant cast and the final five or so were likable enough for me not to mind who won. Bobby Jon was my favourite again but Lydia and Stephenie were equally amazing. Jamie and Judd were equally awful.

Panama was my favourite of the three. Cirie is probably my favourite contestant of the series and a reason why I enjoyed the season so much. Aras winning was a great end to the season too, I thought he was lovely.

Season Ranking:

Spoiler:

1. Panama
2. The Amazon
3. Borneo
4. Pearl Islands
5. Africa
6. Australia
7. Guatemala
8. Marquesas
9. All-Stars
10. Palau
11. Vanuatu
12. Thailand

I'll probably get around to watching Cook Islands within the next couple of months or so.

Guatemala BObby Jon

Surprised you didn't like Palau, it was probably my favourite so far when I was doing my chronological Survivor watch

With shows like this, the cast is everything. You can't rely on the public to boot off the bad ones. Plus, I always seem to root for those who don't really stand a chance and leave early, Shii Ann being the biggest example of this. It probably comes from a place of really wanting them to defy the odds but deep down knowing that they have no chance. And obviously with Palau we had Bobby Jon & Stephenie who were my favourites by far, and once they both left I just didn't really care for anybody left other than Janu (who was also an outsider) and the predictability of it all just really made it a bit lacklustre. I like power shifts.

Yeah I always root for the underdog and then when they get the power and get a bit too big for their boots I low-key hope they're knocked down a peg
