Yeah I thought that too, and said to someone the other day that I assume Steph was better in Guatemala, and he said that most people agree Guatemala is her worst season out of the 3 she is on. Guess I’ll soon find out

[Matthew.]

I finished Survivor Guatemala and unpopular opinion but I thought it was very good! Much better season than Palau and I watched it quickly so I can move onto Panama because I’m ready for THE Cirie Fields Experience. I have also amended the Rank The Series and Favourite Per Season threads accordingly. Also, just treat the top 3 as a collective #1 but Judd just feels right for just now, I’ll edit it later if I change my mind.

A quote for the edgic fans........

“I’m going to kick your ass afterwards! I’m going to find you in Michigan... I’m going to put in Gary Hawkins, 46, it’ll come BING BING BING, cell phone, address, MAPS, I’ll call the locals over there, can you give me the low down on Mr GARY HAWKINS, ex-professional football player”

Officer Amy O’Hara, 2005

1. Judd - I HOPE YA’LL GET EATEN BY ****IN CROCODILES SCUMBAGS I’m sorry but Judd is hilarious to me, even if I do get why he’s not liked. A paranoid, loud, argumentative, oblivious, not a bad sportsmanship man, who is continously OTTN and proud of it YOU HAVE AY DEE DEEEEEEE HEY MAWGRET GET OUT NOOOOWWWWW “It’ll only work for a millimeter of a second”

2. Margaret - Loving motherly nurse who looked after her tribe.... until some left and she had new people to look after and she was just not having it and became a miserable presence around camp and apparently told Judd he had ADD and happily pointed out his recall issues

3. Stephenie - I think StepheME’s far better in Guatemala even if most people disagree. In Palau, she was known as the CPP hero of the season who everyone loved and was the last one standing and was an inspiration etc (and I didn’t really care for her) and then she came back and completely bought into her own hype “Danni reminds me of myself - she’s just a COOL chick ^_^” “Boohoo Lydia I am SICK of hearing your crap you’re luckt to still be here ”

4. Jamie - Not quite the random neurotic he’s lived up to be but he did provide entertainment with how much he pissed everyone off BLINDSIDED, NICE, NOW ***THAT’S*** HOW YOU VOTE SOMEBODY OFF (cut to Lydia looking unimpressed)

5. Amy - The Sue and Twila comparisons are true because she seemed so Raw And Real and the fact that she broke her ankle in the first episode (I think) and lasted 2 weeks with it is pretty good going And she sussed out Gary and revealed it to him when he was least expecting it too

6. Gary - Initially my favourite for reminding me of Frank Garrison, Gary’s initial weirdness unfortunately stopped a few episodes in but I still enjoyed him nonetheless for giving us moments like “Kansas is in love with Brandon.............and so am I

7. Brian - A nerd who says the most obnoxious **** ever in the most patronising voice but is still loved by his tribe “You may be The Golden Boy..... but I’m Platinum. ” “This would be the OUTWIT part of Outwit, Outplay and Outlast. ”

8. Bobby Jon - A huge glow up from Palau In one episode, he said some variation of the phrase “I HATE JAMIE I MIGHT KNOCK HIM OUT ” 3 times

9. Lydia - MORP tribe mom who everyone loves even though she stabbed Jamie in the back and then randomly has a theory that by breaking a Guatemalan tradition and eating a chicken, she caused a huge storm

10. Cindy - “I would much rather hurt Jamie’s feelings than Brandon’s. Brandon is a solid dude. ”

11. Danni - I don’t really care about her at all as she’s so *just there* for a winner? Stephenie should have won imo

12. Brianna - I liked Brianna in her leaving episode and I can’t remember why lmao

13. Blake - Completely unaware that he was coming across as someone who’s only personality trait was “having a girlfriend who he insisted had big boobs”

14. Jim - I hope your arm has healed because you seemed nice!

15. Brooke - I had no thoughts or opinion about her

16. Brandon - I had no thoughts or opinion about him

17. Morgan - I had no thoughts or opinion about her

18. Rafe - (***rant alert***) Just a painfully pathetic human being and possibly in my bottom 5 ever? Looking down on people who talk about others while they’re not there because it’s “not pretty”, crying because Jamie was sarcastically cheering Judd on in a challenge, hoping that Jamie reflects on his actions the previous day and then calling him untrustworthy for giving up his reward to apologise for his actions, complaining because Jamie feels he can trust him, refusing to give people his word for being scared he’ll go back on it because he’s such a gOoD pErSoN, complaining that Cindy took a car she won instead of giving a car to everyone else and then complaining that she spoke about her new car, insisting that Danni vote him out and then refusing to vote for her because she actually did it and the worst Rafe moment..... “I’m a really touchy person and Cindy isn’t, so it’s nice to be touchy feely with Cindy ” Very Dan Spilo-ish. And there’s The Good Person/Hero of the season, everyone

[Matthew.]

Finished Survivor Panama! Such an interesting season with some of my new all time favourite contestants!

Edgic:

Spoiler:

Ranking:

1. Shane - Suuuch a compelling character, in my top 5 and probably my favourite male Survivor so far (Sean Rector has been dethroned ) and I prefer him to Cirie oops? There was moments of insanity and abrasiveness from Shane but I never felt like it was too uncomfortable to watch and with Shane, I feel like his flaws make him a better character? Also you can tell he is actually a great person underneath it all who clearly loves his son
2. Cirie - Hilarious and sweet I also like her journey from someone who’s scared of the outdoors, particularly leaves, to someone who fully embraces living on a Panamanian island 36 days She’s also in my all time top 10 atm!
3. Courtney - Infuriated everyone for the whole experience like just LOOK at that edgic When Bruce was being medevaced and she offered to sing, so he declined and she just did it anyway
4. Danielle - I stan if for no other reason than Terry teaching her how to make fire only for her to win the fire making challenge and then vote him off
5. Bruce - What a weirdo Getting infuriated by Courtney doing yoga in his zen garden and spending his time on Exile doing martial arts rather than idol hunting
6. Aras - WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TERRY SAY SOMETHING BAD ABOUT WOMEN x
7. Bobby - Stealer of wine and user of phrases such as “COURTNEY IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE 2 OR 3 MOST ANNOYING PEOPLE PROBABLY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD ”
8. Tina - The Lumberjack Lady She seemed so nice and the scene of her writing her son’s name into the sand as she cried her heart out is probably the saddest scene of Survivor I’ve ever seen I wish she stayed longer given her circumstances </3
9. Nick - He also had some potential one episode but I had barely any opinion on him at all?
10. Sally - Had some potential but I never really had any opinion of her?
11. Misty - I have no thoughts on her either but she only lasted 3 episodes so...
12. Melinda - I’m sure she’s fine but she had to go to save Cirie
13. Ruth Marie - was a contestant on Shane Powers’ season of Survivor.
14. Dan - I got a creepy Paschal English-y vibe from him so that’s an automatic red!
15. Austin - Irritating, self-impressed bores who constantly pat themselves on the back and laugh at their own rubbish jokes are not fun to watch!
16. Terry - Smug, condescending prick. Telling Aras his family visit was more important because he’s married and Aras wasn’t Winning every immunity challenge and being referred to as SuperTerry all season and acting as though he’s some hated underdog

Yesssss @ that top 2! And I didn't care for Danielle & Courtney as much (particularly Courtney) but WOW what a ****ing hilarious trio that was I appreciate them all for their roles. Those top 4 are definitely a big part of what made that season so great.

Also Terry did suck for the reasons you stated

Would recommend even to those who haven’t seen Survivor before because it’s just that good of a season

Edgic:

Spoiler:

1. Susie - Okay so hear me out - A kind hearted 47 year old woman who aggravates everybody in her tribe just by talking 24/7 who unintentionally provides the most UTR-hilarious moments at any given opportunity, only to have a segment in every episode about how crazy and loud she is and how her tribe wants to bury her alive and stab her in the face (actual comments made!) so ends up being OTT overall? And to make it even better, she makes it all the way to top 3 and is one vote (or one cookie according to Randy) away from winning $1,000,000? Sign me up.
2. Randy - Self labelled King of Gabon Randy might be a disgusting, old, hotheaded, chauvinistic, alcoholic bigot who needs to grow up before he dies alone and a loser but he’s one of the most unique characters Survivor has ever seen because he’s so ****ing strange and he’s my #2 for it.
3. Crystal - Olympic athlete who can not compete to save her life She was also hysterical with dealing with GC, Ace and Randy as well as possibly giving the best voting confessionals ever?
4. Sugar - Completely crazy and irrational in spite of getting an OTTP edit
5. Gillian - Such a nice and joyful woman She was the first episode of Survivor Gabon with her love of elephant dung and failure to see Randy’s cut head, so she, as a nurse, calls the medical team in
6. Dan - All round decent person who did actually make fun television with his weirdness all whilst living out the Survivor Gabon experience in a suit way better than Andrew Savage could ever attempt to.
7. Kelly - Thinking GC got eaten by a monkey Being picked last for the first time in her entire life Being glad to be around people who respond back
8. Bob - Decently likeable tbf and although the Fake Idol moment was unleashed to its full potential by Randy, Sugar and Crystal, Bob was the one who set it all up so
9. Paloma - “Do you think you and Ace were brother and sister in another life” “Maybe in another world, 1000 years from now. When I’m DEAD ” “Um... okay”
10. GC - I don’t really care for him at all but the arc of - GC’s been through a lot in his life, he’s a good guy -> Everybody hates GC -> GC goes missing -> GC is quitting? That’s bull**** - Crystal Cox -> GC’s not a bad guy, he’s been through a lot in his life -> GC goes home - is a fun one!
11. Charlie - I <3 Marcus I <3 Marcus I <3 Marcus *gets voted off*
12. Michelle - Really grumpy and miserable but it was only for one episode so she makes for a kind of fun first boot, but if she stayed I might not have been as fully on board.
13. Ken - Don’t have any strong feelings on him either way for someone who was so prominent throughout the season?
14. Matty - He annoyed me a few times but nothing worth full on disliking him for.
15. Jacquie - She seemed okay?
16. Marcus - “Susie you’re a mom and a teacher, how can you justify lying to me” erm what
17. Ace - Awful and grating to watch, I could physically feel the sleaze and slime through my screen and that’s not what I look for in a Survivor contestant.
18. Corinne - So pathetic and unnecessarily nasty, one of my all time least favourites and idk why people like her at all. I’m guessing it’s because she’s sharp tongued but lbr Sugar was right when she said she plays all nice to people’s faces yet acts all big and clever when it’s just her in confessionals. Her jury speech was beyond gross as well.

Tbh I'm surprised but not surprised Gabon is your #1 season. Like it was just kinda ok/decent/but solid to me but it does feel a bit like a Matthew-classic idk why It does have a good amount of legendary/funny characters and some fun unforgettable moments.

Corinne - while her jury speech was nasty and gross - was a really funny legendary character despite that! But I watched Caramoan first where she's also great so I already had a high opinion for her going into Gabon. She's kinda nicer and a lot more tame in that so maybe that'll change your opinion on her in some way... or maybe not

I do like how she was pretty nasty throughout Gabon but she got asked back for a "Fans vs. Favorites" season Does anyone know: Is Corinne really popular among Survivor fans or was she just like a random production pick for that season?

17. Ace - Awful and grating to watch, I could physically feel the sleaze and slime through my screen and that’s not what I look for in a Survivor contestant.

This one I can agree with

[Matthew.]

The thing with Corinne was that I already disliked her going into the finale as I always felt like her confessionals throughout the season came across more as desperate than funny. Like in the premiere, she said she is a total bitch and if people cry, she laughs in their faces. I guess lots of people found this funny but I just rolled my eyes at it. Amongst other moments throughout the season such as rolling her eyes and making faces at TC when Sugar was crying about her dead father, her overreaction to Susie telling her that she planned on voting for her at the next TC which I thought was clearly played up for the cameras, saying Dan was probably a former fatty..... it just never worked for me anyway, and it was the jury speech that solidified her as being one of my least favourite Survivors so far.

And I think she is popular (I searched her name in this server when I was watching and iirc most of the posts about her were fairly positive) and tbh a few days later after watching the shkw, I do realise why she is liked, because she brings the shock factor in how far she goes, but it wasn’t really my thing in Corinne’s case. That’s my take on it anyway

Also I knew she does come back in a later season, but when I watched the reunion, I could tell Jeff really disliked her, so I’m surprised she does come back actually?

(I felt like I wrote a lot there about Corinne of all people but hopefully I got my point across )

The Thing About Corinne is that people project all of these qualities onto her that just aren't there, and they only do so because she's a bitchy girl who pretends she has a feisty personality. In reality, she's non-confrontational and humorless. She tries too hard and isn't even that villainous in doing so. Even in Caramoan when she tried to frame herself as an anti-Phillip warrior, all she did was cry and ask him to stop being mean to her? Someone once compared her "witty, scathing remarks" to a game of Cards Against Humanity and if that doesn't sum it up then I don't know what does.

Yeah I agree with you, sums up my thoughts on her too. That last sentence is a great summary of her

Cards Against Humanity is a great game
