Yeah Thailand is a peak example of a season that was The Worst Ever at its time but has since been elevated to like...... slightly below mid-tier if not higher just because of how much the show has decomposed over the years. Also see: TAR8, BBUS4 (which I would both easily have in my top half now? )

Finished Thailand! Overall, it was slightly better than I anticipated tbh but it was a bit of a slog to get through, particularly post-merge. Shii-Ann, Ghandia and Robb were the three biggest characters at the start so to lose all three was definitely detrimental to the season. I will say though I thought the final tribal council was pretty good for such a boring season the jury were so bitter. The Chuay Ghan boys made it too far as well, I couldn’t stand any of them. Onto Amazon next...

Amazon is a great season and my favourite of the pre-All Stars seasons My ranking of the cast would probably have everyone in green bar the bottom 2, it’s *that* good |

So I’ve started BvsW, only because I like watching a more modern season after an old one but I’ll definitely be watching Amazon soon! I’m four episodes in and it’s been pretty great so far! I really like the majority of the cast so far, in fact I only dislike Colton and he’s already gone (even Brad is great to hate if you don’t take him too seriously he’s really funny ). Candice on RI is everything I need too.

The Culpeppers Monica is hilarious, quotable, and rootable and Brad is a really fun villain too

Finished the pre-merge of BvsW, it’s actually been pretty good so far but the boot order has stung a lot Candice, John, Brad, Marissa and Laura B out already?!?! Cancel it!

Unfortunately (like many seasons tbh ) this season has definitely taken a turn post-merge. I just cannot fully back anybody left in the F7 (not including Tina/Vytas/Laura M currently on RI) atm, the last episode with Ciera’s dilemma about voting Laura out was sooooo dull.
Also this is the first season I’m watching with the RI twist and why the hell is it still a thing post-merge it was cute as a pre-merge thing but I just do not see why it’s still an aspect of the game at this point. |

Redemption Island always lasts for the whole season, with someone coming back in the merge episode and someone coming back in the finale.
I really don’t like the twist either, however the BvW edition is probably my favourite for giving us moments like **** You Brad Culpepper and a funny moment you’ll see in the next episode |

It's my understanding that Probst's reasoning for letting twists like RI last beyond the merge, and by extension for the entire season, is that one of his core beliefs as a producer is that a twist has to have some sort of payoff in the finale (e.g. someone coming back into the game) to justify its existence
Hence, I guess, the finalists of Ghost Island and Island of the Idols being shunted off to their respective islands together on day 36-or-so for seemingly no reason |

I've said it many times, but Blood vs. Water is nothing more than A Season Of Survivor. It's the most glaring example of a median season if the franchise has one.
That being said, I somehow long for the days of BvW given how much the show has become a complete parody of itself, but that's a whole different conversation

That being said, you should definitely cleanse your palette by watching Amazon now It's basically the BBUK6 of Survivor where just about everyone is overwhelmingly negative and the one person with an overly positive person is actually an unbearable demon

Finished Blood vs Water. Overall opinions on the season are a little varied, some episodes were great and others were really shoddy. I think RI definitely impacted the season narrative a lot and we could’ve had a really gripping season with some great characters and story arcs. Tyson dominated the game so I guess he deserved his win but idk, I wasn’t a fan in Tocantins or HvsV but this was best showing and I’m still not sold.
Rankings: 1. Hayden 2. Candice 3. Ciera 4. Tina 5. Brad 6. Monica 7. John 8. Katie 9. Marissa 10. Laura B 11. Laura M 12. Vytas 13. Aras 14. Rupert 15. Caleb 16. Tyson 17. Kat 18. Rachel 19. Gervase 20. Colton Last edited by Daniel-X; 09-09-2021 at 11:25 PM. |

Have you all never met a nice person before?
Have you all never met someone who isn’t selfish? Have you all never met.... a NEAT LADY? Enjoy Amazon if you’re going onto it next |

I’ve only just finished episode two and Christy from Amazon is such a delight as a loveable underdog a great start to the season so far

Okay so it may be a little premature to say The Amazon is my favourite (I’ve just finished the merge episode) but it’s been stellar so far. Christy/Deena/Heidi/Dave/Matthew/Rob are all great (everyone left brings something a little different to the table though that I like) characters and there’s not been a single dull episode. The preview for next episode with sociopath Matthew sharpening his knife

The merge episode is fantastic, with the famous immunity challenge, all the Roger bashing, everything Deena said and did, and Roger being voted out
