Let's forget all stars exists tbh But I enjoyed All-Stars. So many good interactions. But Pearl Islands is a season I barely remember, honestly. I need to fully watch it again when I can.

I've never really liked it much tbh, it has a great start but it's rough once you get to the merge for me.

God f*cking damn it Sandra is such a b*tch I love her so much. When she steals the tarp and is like "I didn't know I came out here to work" and calls T "the black girl" LMAO she gives zero f*cks. I think this might be her best scene actually. Either this or when she burns Russell's hat.

1. Pearl Islands No surprise here, this season remains my favorite out of the OG seasons after the rewatch. While some would say the Outcast twist tainted this season a lot, I would say it only did a little. It wasn't THAT big of a deal and Burton and Lill both brought a lot to the game so who cares. Aside from that, the cast was amazing with plenty of great characters, some who I'd still love to see return, and the game also took a HUGE turn towards strategy and blindsides that the Amazon only grazed with Rob. Fun to watch from start to finish and one of the greatest seasons in Survivor history.
2. Marquesas I really don't remember liking this season as much the first time I watched it, but it was so good the second time around. The cast is arguably the weakest out of the four so far, but still has a great cast, all the way down to the pre-merge boots as well. It had a lot of great game-changing moments like the first merge flip, Hunter's early elimination, the rock draw...and Kathy made this such a great season with support from Rob (who I actually wish had made it further this season) and Sean (despite the unnecessary god and race comments he made). Great season in all aspects.
3. Borneo While it may have been one of the least conventionally exciting seasons ever, it was still the first season, and with the cast as amazing as it was, it made up for the lack of strategy and actual playing of the game. I think what sets it apart from Australian Outback is that it's the OG season and Richard, Sue, Rudy and Kelly are the most amazing Final Four in the history of Survivor.
4. Africa It's weird because on my original watch of this season, I wasn't a huge fan and thought the first two seasons were for sure better, but after rewatching it, it's actually a really good season. Once again, casting did so good this time, possibly the best so far actually. There were so many good characters throughout both phases of the game, with Silas and Lindsey being fun to watch, and then the entire merge tribe was great, especially the final five. Also had the best merge game of any season so far, with Teresa and Lex keeping things interestng even if it was a straightforward vote.
5. The Amazon I remembered thinking this season was meh overall, and for the most part I'm still in that mindset. I think there were a decent amount of duds in this cast, and I got irritated with a lot of players. I think this season was saved by the really smart Guys vs. Girls format that I think had a huge part in the enormous amount of new grounds of the game explored strategically speaking. The biggest shift yet towards strategic gameplay and blindsiding saved a season that was one of the weakest cast-wise.
6. Australian Outback This season had a great pre-merge, but the post-merge was very boring. While this season also benefitted from a very strong cast, I think Borneo's cast was stronger overall. It also seemed to actually digress rather than progress in the amount of game playing there was, taking out the advantage this cast had of knowing how the game works, while in Borneo they were literally thrown into unknown territory and had to figure it out for themselves.
7. Thailand This season gets a very bad rap and tbh it deserves like 80% of the hate. It's not AS bad of a season as people like to make it out to be, but maybe it's because I enjoy watching disgusting human beings being themselves, which there were plenty of. The fact that this season is ridden with horrible human beings (Brian, Clay, Robb) and then a bunch of insufferable people (Ghandia, Robb, and even Shii Ann kinda) along with a bunch of no-names makes this easily the worst cast so far. Pros are the winner being a great manipulator, Shii Ann screwing herself over, and the b*tchiest FTC yet, but none of these things can save the otherwise lackluster season.
1. Brian Heidik Despite me having Brian at #1, I don't see him staying this high when I get deeper into the series. He's a strong winner, nevertheless. He played his entire tribe like puppets and despite the fact that they called him out in confessionals, nobody ever entertained the fact of taking him out. The fact that a horrible person like Brian can be this fake and trick fifteen other people to basically do whatever he wants without even realizing it makes him probably the best winner of the pre-All-Stars group. He was ahead of his time and really f*cked sh*t up. However, the 4-3 vote against an almost equally as awful person at the FTC and his lack of knowledge of the other players as people instead of pawns will take him down in my list in the future.
2. Richard Hatch To have the winner of the very first season, where nobody knew anything about the game before playing, be such a witty and manipulative person is amazing. Hatch had a firm grip on the game, but of course he also had many flaws on top of this. However, compared to Tina, they both had the social game, but Richard had the strategy to overpower her game.
3. Sandra Diaz-Twine (Pearl Islands) I know this may be controversial to put her this high, but she actually played a great game in Pearl Islands. Sure, she was obviously confrontational which isn't ever necessarily a good strategy, but she was confrontational with the people it mattered to be that way with. One of the biggest things that makes Sandra stand out to me as a great player is her read on people. She knows who the bad eggs are even when nobody is aware, but she's always there when they finally come around OR in both of her cases, seeing she "had their best interest" in mind all game, and thus rewarding her with the jury vote. The Queen of UTR and the Queen of Survivor.
4. Tina Wesson Tina's social game is one of the best in Survivor history easily, however, beyond that, Tina really didn't do any strategic work to get to the end. Not to mention, Colby had much more control over how the game was going to go than Tina did. Tina played a solid game for the time she was playing, but not strong enough to be high up on the list.
5. Ethan Zohn He gets a lot of credit in the TEOS podcast, and by fans in general I feel but I'm not entirely sure why he got SO much credit. He's a strong winner for sure, but he lacked in social game, confirmed by many of the players. He did pick the right people to trust and align himself with though, and he had a good enough social game to get him to the end, and there were definitely strategic moves he made throughout the game.
6. Vecepia Towery I do think Vecepia is underrated. She played a very under-the-radar game, but that isn't a game to be ashamed of. She made a lot of subtle smart moves like sitting back and distancing herself when Sean and Rob became targets pre-merge, but still keeping a working relationship with Sean for later, and also making sure she knew everyone's story, interests, etc, which eventually helped her win the jury's votes. However, she just simply didn't play a strong enough game to beat Tina or Richard, however her and Ethan are close in my opinion.
7. Jenna Morasca There were times where Jenna seemed to know what she was doing, like with manipulating the men, but more often she seemed to have the strategic/social awareness of a toddler. She complained constantly, often about things that everyone had to go through, which rubbed people the wrong way, and she just seemed overall self-involved and immature. Heidi was definitely the stronger player of the two "cute girls" and I don't feel like Jenna is a strong winner. However, positives to her game was her social manipulation and her general awareness of what was happening, aside from how she was perceived by the other castaways.

I love Sandra but I'd at least put her 5th from the OG winners with Brian, Rich, Tina, and maybe Ethan ahead of her.

He's definitely one of the weaker winners and I don't see Sandra as a weaker winner. She had her flaws but her flaws never hurt her game, and in fact, often helped her game even more.

Did anyone else notice that when the they were competing during the Outcast Challenge the Outcasts were given purple bandanas or something they could wear and then they used them to tie their sticks to grab their keys?
I don't think that's fair at all. The other two tribes weren't given those colored bandanas. They were only given thin rope.
