I for one am ****ing shocked that a Survivor season in 2024 came this close to cracking my top 10, but this season was really good!!! We had a cast full of mean-spirited crazies who clashed with each other both on and off the show, and it's the most HUMAN drama we've had in a loooooong time. I mean, it's the most drama period we've had in a long time because this show is so formulaic and hollow now, but even better is the fact that the drama we're getting is REAL and AUTHENTIC. Like even as I'm writing this up I'm reflecting on the fact that Venus and Q were feuding through Cameos the other day and then Maria fully cropped Venus out of a #FreePalestine picture and they're feuding on it over Twitter. This season exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable and it really was one of the most fun viewing experiences in a looooong time.

Also I moved South Pacific up a few spots and more importantly, from yellow to green!
