Absolutely loved Gabon, one of my definite favourites.

But it wasn't meant to be a comment about the seasons themselves (which have gone down in quality) but the direction the show has headed. Instead of "16 castaways and their journey" it has become a mess of a show. The final three is one of the worst additions possible and just helps ensure production's favorites win, Hidden Immunity Idols are used and rehidden to the point where it's farcical. Like, instead of getting to know anyone or see any interesting strategy we're forced to watch people randomly dig in some faux scavenger hunt, it's really pathetic. We don't even get to know the players anymore. It used to be about the players and their journey and the characters were actually real people with interesting traits. There isn't even any semblance of characterization anymore, we don't know the players themselves. Russell Hantz has a lot to blame with it since he created the god awful "self-congratulatory, wannabe strategic (but not really strategic) 'mastermind' " archetype and ever since then we've gotten idiots who guzzle up screen time like Marty, David, Jim Rice, Malcolm, etc. Ever since Russell happened there's been this notion that the winner can only be shown in strictly game-related segments to prove that they were a strategic mastermind and deserving of the win and that their win had nothing to do with a bitter jury. It's really disgusting that you're not even allowed to be a normal human being who struggles with making decisions, because ever since Russell happened you need to be a psychotic sociopath to be a respected player. Moral dilemmas like Kelly Wiglesworth were what made Survivor great and now the show is soulless and clinical. Last night's finale just reaffirmed everything that's wrong with the show, and quite frankly I'm embarrassed by it all. And Black Dagger, get your hands on a good copy of Africa because that ****'s great.

I've heard alot of Survivor fans slag off Gabon, but i agree wioth you, it was one of my favorites, and i really liked the winner. China was also brilliant, because the setting is so different from most of the typical survivor islands, to be on mainland china was awesome. Same for Gabon, because it was actually in Africa, not just some remote island. Also there were great characters and great drama.
I totally agree that china and gabon are in top 5. I wish they would do more series like gabon and china and australia in actual places on a continent, and not just on little islands. It would be so cool if they actually picked a remote place in the USA. like in the wilderness of Montana or something.

Like im baffled how malcolms "move" is considered "the best of all time" when all he did was find 2 idols, it took ZERO brains. If they had brains they would have surprised everyone with the idols and voted for 3 different people and watch everyone scramble!

I was happy to see Cochran win, particularly out of that final three!
Dawn is such a highly annoying idiot and so unaware. I found her increasingly annoying as the season went on, up until the point where she was making really my skin crawl in the final and the reunion show. Bloody religious idiots! Mormon....... moron...slightly different spelling with exactly the same meaning. I love Brenda so much. I know she didn't play the best cutthroat tactical game this season but i say good on her for trying to play as herself, a genuine, caring, good-hearted person. And for those people who think Brandon deserves props for 'being real'.........your'e joking right ? He's one of the most heinous idiots to ever attempt to play Survivor and i really hope they never make the mistake of having that unstable, god-bothering Fuc*wit anywhere near another Season of Survivor ever again. He'd probably be too busy beating his spouse anyway! |

Just gonna throw in a controversial statement and say that Fiji is one of my favorite seasons. How can you hate anything with Lisi on it?

General sentiment seems to be that it is the worst season alongside Thailand. Although that may be more true on Sucks than here.

Fiji was great, and had one of the most controversial moments ever, when the young black guy, agreed to make a deal with the old asian guy, and then he went back on his word but still kept the car! and even his other black cast mates that he had an alliance with were saying "that's so ****ed up, you have shamed yourself" It was a great series.
It was like watching an episode of star trek, cause there were multiple cultures involved, and deciding what was morally right. I loved Fiji, and i loved the old asian guy. that young black kid was a piece of **** for doing that. (sorry for describing them based on race, but i really can't remember everyone's name!)
