Honestly.. I didn't even get into survivor until it came on netflix bc I was always interested in it.. but somehow I just never could catch it from the first episode and I'd forget it was coming on each week like it just never panned out like I thought it was just a show where they put people in the wild and see who lasts the longest lmao I had no idea about challenges or all the lying and manipulating and strategizing and alliances etc. now I'm already hooked like I had no idea how good of a show it was.. Btw if anyone could recommend which seasons I should buy next? (Besides Heroes vs. Villains and Cagayan ofc)
@@reginamachamer821 Season 16 - it has returnees, Season 11 - jeff says it’s the toughest season, Season 10 - watch 10 before 11 b/c of returnees (but if you have seen hvv, you saw one contestant), Season 1 - you see what has changed throughout the years, Season 18 - imo best personalities, Season 19 - an underrated season
Glad to see Fiji in here - so many iconic moments: downfall of the four horseman, the car deal, Rocky as a character, Dreamz unpredictability, Earl first unanimous winner - so many good moments!
@@aocplusme5676 He was supposed to be on HvV but got cut because they wanted Russell on the season. Then he was considered for BvW with his son but they never made it too far in casting. Then he was in the running for Cambodia but the fans didn't vote for him because y'know we just HAD to see Vytas and Varner again
And if you think about it, just almost every season (sorry winners at war rob) if people just obeyed rob they make it or would of made it to the end. All stars, literally worked. Heros vs villians would of worked if tyson listened. Redemption island worked completely. Winners at war, well cant try to be the mafia when everyones a mafia level player
Definitely agree with Marquesas. Rotu 4 flip was genius and unprecedented at the time. Also had some of the best characters, Rob 1.0 is the best version from a character point of view. Sean was great, Kathy was great, Vecepia is an extremely underrated winner who survived a pathetic Maraamu tribe, a swap to the minority on Rotu, and being on the very bottom of the merge only to still be at the bottom at F5 when Kathy sided with Neleh/Paschal and Sean got voted out. Won a crucial F4 immunity and made a deal with Neleh to take out Kathy because Kathy would always win if she made F2. Vee really gets no love as a winner but she navigated the game absolutely perfectly. She also brought the one person at the end she can win against other than maybe Sean.
Couldn't agree more about Vee. I'm working on another video that will feature her somewhat prominently so I've got her on the brain, but she played such an incredible strategic and social game. One of Survivor's most underrated players ever.
Marquesas has been my favorite since it first aired. Loved it so much I bought from the auction after the show. I never understood the hate. The best OG season IMO!❤️❤️
Top 5 most cruellest twists on survivor? Such as Ravu having nothing, Palau's school yard pick sending 2 people packing, having 2 people missing out on merge feast on GC for no benefit etc etc

@@moviemaniac14 you are right .. poor Parvatti was so excited to know what was written in the paper inside the bottle ..and oh no she wished she wasn't.
I have Vanuatu in my top 5 seasons of all time. I love the volcanic theme of the season, it made the season feel more real. I really enjoyed the end game players and Chris is an awesome and entertaining winner.
That sputtering volcano reward was probably one of the best Survivor rewards of all time! I remember watching that episode and I was in complete awe! It was like volcano fireworks!
In my head canon, Survivor Vanuatu lives up to its subtitle ‘Islands of Fire’ and every challenge of is a fire challenge and several of the challenge take place at the volcano.
Marquesas! Yes! Marquesas is one of the best seasons of the show. Sean is a pantheon-level character, Kathy is close to that, Vecepia may be the most underrated winner in all of Survivor (and deserves to come back), and the fall of the Rotu 4 is one of the very best storylines in Survivor history, with John being an all-time great Survivor villain. Such a good season.
I think Gabon is one of the most entertaining seasons of Survivor, but as far as a whole season goes, it wasn't a great season. The gameplay and strategies were bad throughout the season, but I think that's what made the season entertaining. I do like Gabon as a season for sure though. It's nice to have that season where you can't take it too seriously and just have a lot of fun throughout it. It's complicated in that sort of sense
Yay for the Survivor Marquesas love! It's a great season and Vacepia is a great winner. It's always fun to look back on Survivor "firsts" that we see all the time now. And Pascal and Neleh breaking with their alliance was one of those firsts. They set the precedent.
Just recently finished my rewatch of Marquesas, and watching Vanuatu now. Marquesas was absolutely an underrated gem of a season, and so many of those players deserve to be brought back to play again.
Really? No Guatemala? That season is the most underrated season of all time, to me. I think the cast is great and the game play is fascinating and no one ever mentions it when talking about good seasons.
I feel like I'm the only one who thinks this Edge of extinction is so underated imo. The cast is great there’s so many potential returnee in this cast: Rick, Reem, Ron, Wardog, Vic, Lauren and evening Chris Underwood would be interesting to see prove himself like Michele. Both the pre merge and post is one of the only seasons I find myself never getting bored at. Watching the cursed Lesu/Mana tribe, Wendy and the chickens (especially the flint is hilarious), Rick is vastly entertaining, it’s Kelley at her best imo, Aubury’s boot and of course Reem island welcome 😂 A lot people hate the twist but it makes the last episode so interesting. It’s basically an entire season in 2 hours and like it or not Chris played a totally perfect game when he came back.
Yeah I put EOE at 18th in my season rankings. Amazing cast with with a couple duds like Julia, Joe, Eric, Gavin, even like an Aubry wasn't too good at the game this season but everyone else was great and the gameplay was great with the Eric blindside, the Joe blindside, the Wentworth blindside being the best parts of the season! And the finale itself was amazing! Easily a top 5 all time finals
Love EOE. Unpredictable tribals, blindsides of the returnees, Reem and Devens. Chris winning just left a bad taste in my mouth. It made all the game play and strategies irrelevant.
Chris Daugherty is my all time favorite player and Vanuatu is my favorite season. He was a total boss, straight up making promises and then slicing throats the very next vote. Over and over. And then convinces all these people he knifed in the back to vote for him
@@joeertman I liked Corrine but she was too mean and aggresive towards Sugar ..I am not a fan of Sugar but that was too much .. Randy was annoying as hell ..I know that was his character but he rubbed me the wrong way .. I was happy when he was the first boot in the villains tribe on Survivor:Heroes vs. Villains
YES YES YES MARQUESAS IS A HIDDEN JEM from the hilarious preswap maaramu to the huge underdogs of postswap maaramu to Boston Rob which is probably even better then his other seasons, to the flip on the Rotu 4, to the purple rock draw to vecepia’s cutthroat game in the last few days this season is honestly on the same level as the newer seasons.
I personally find Ghost Island to be pretty underrated. It's far from perfect but the pre merge is amazing and the merge episode is awesome. It slows down after that but there is still Micheal's under dog story and Domenick and Wendell being a great duo. The finale is great too.
it always makes me so sad that HHH gets so much flak, most of the cast is genuinely fun and interesting, and tbh I didn't even mind the Ben Bombs in the last few tribal councils bc like.... everyone knows that idols often go back in play when one was used the night before, so it was really fun seeing this guy never sleep in order to drag himself to that final 4 (though I can't defend the fire making challenge)
I mean, he was blatantly searching for the idol, and no one did anything. The kind of got what they deserved for just letting their target search for the idol without trying to find it themselves.
HHH was honestly a really good season, had some incredible plays and only gets hate because of how controversial Bens win was. In an alternate universe where that twist never happened and Devon ends up winning, I think it would be in most people’s top 10s
Marquesas is one of my top 10 favorite seasons ever and I'm glad it's getting the recognition it deserves! I'd also have Gabon on this list. I found its chaos really great and fun to watch.
I think the biggest weakness Marquesas has is its cast compared to the first three seasons of Survivor. Half is the cast is full of duds and the winner barely even gets her own winner story.
This isn't a popular opinion, but Edge of Extinction. I didn't watch it live, so I can see how people would be totally pissed at the end result, but watching it with the knowledge that Chris was going to win made the season incredibly fun to watch. So many good characters, a lot of fun tribal councils, and Chris played beautifully at the end. Probably one of my favorite seasons in recent memory.
shane is the ONLY castaway to make me cry. he was wildly entertaining (him having cirie diagnose him, the blackberry) & still had a heart. survivor casting needs to step tf up & put him on a season
Vanuatu coming after All-Stars already meant the season was facing an uphill battle before it even started. The pre-merge isn't bad but I wouldn't say it's anything great but the post-merge and Chris's revenge story somehow turning into a win is one of most amazing storylines the show has ever had.
Guatemala, The Amazon, and Edge of Extinction are the most underrated I’ve seen. But I’m still going thru the seasons. Also think Kaoh Rong is a top 10 season. Not sure if that’s too big of an leap to claim as one of the most underrated, though.
during the filming of survivor: fiji there was coup d’tat happening in in the country. because of that there was no loved ones visit. earl survived 39 days in an unstable country and won $1 million for it. that’s iconic
Honestly, I think Marquesas is underrated because a lot of people didn't know where the Marquesas was. Coming off of Africa and Australia, too easily recognizable places for most Americans, Marquesas was too obscure for them. Especially since the locations were such a huge part of the marketing and storytelling and overall draw for the show early on.
SoPa is my underrated fave. It’s Ozzy at his best, and Coach at his most hypocritical. Which to me are both interesting in different ways! The majority of the cast is memorable (especially Upolu) and we got a very deserving and unique winner in Sophie. My favorite moment is when Brandon gives up immunity to Albert, and then he gets voted out. Albert obviously knowing Brandon was going home, yet continuing to insist Brandon is safe always cracks me up!
All Stars is under-rated. It has one of the best all time casts. Awesome game play. Best season ever played (by Rob) and he did not win. But he got him and his future wife to the final And there was a great love story to boot..
This is wrong season 30 was absolutely insane yet very underrated 1. Mike won 5 immunities which tied the record 2. There was crazy drama between will and sherni 3. The final tribal was intense and no one knew excatly who would win but had a rough idea
This is my favourite Survivor channel. I have adored Survivor since its beginning and am loving watching a lot of the older seasons here in Australia whilst still in lockdown. I will NEVER tire of "survivors ready". "if anyone has a hidden immunity idol.." "head back to camp I've got nothing for ya" etc. Am I the only one who doesn't like Boston Rob? He'd be first one voted out if on Aus Survivor. Our own version has been awesome for the past 2 seasons and host Jonathan gives Jeff a run for his money.
Panama: Specifically Danielle as a player, she was an amazing villain and a content queen m, her fights with everyone and her feud with Shane was amazing. She redeemed herself in HvV , would love to see her play again
Vanuatu is on my top 5 seasons, its so great and good tv to see all those women taking controll of the show and then fighting with each other. Also, there is a lot of nice personalities.
As a relatively new survivor fan (and I know this is going to cause some eye rolls), I found it difficult to commit to watching some of the pre-HD seasons. But I finally committed to Cook Islands, and I'm very glad I did. Now I might just have to watch some of these underrated seasons next ;) starting with Marquesas
I totally get that! I never recommend pre-HD seasons for newbies just because it's such a huge jump down in picture quality. If Marquesas moves a little too slow, I'd totally recommend China! It's got a great cast, moves a pretty brisk pace, and is super funny.
Guatemala, Vanuatu, and Nicaragua for me. I would say San Juan del Sur, but I think it’s been getting the praise it deserves lately. The best thing about Guatemala is Stephenie’s arc of being a hero turned villain.
I like this list. Fiji had one of the best opening themes of the entire series (I'm a sucker for the theme and Fiji's rendition is one of the best) plus that random "Well if Mookie or Alex has the idol, why not just vote Edgardo?" moment from Stacy. I'm sure there are already better coined terms for it already but I remember calling it Plan C when it first happened and it was absolutely amazing to watch live (and I was kinda rooting for the horsemen too, so I felt bad for Ed... but the genius of that move at the time...) Plus yeah Earl is a totally underrated winner. Fair points on HHH. The fire-building format change did rub me the wrong the way and I did like the cast. Lauren especially I want to see return. Exile Island I feel like is pretty well received, at least from what I've seen... but if it wasn't, I would be annoyed lol. One couldn't write a better dysfunctional tribe than Casaya in a scripted show and the fact that they really only had to contend with one person is that much better. So many great memories, from Shane implying that Courtney's apartment was mediocre while literally threatening her life and her first thought was "my apartment's not shitty" to the absurdly hilarious edit of Bruce's medevac to Cirie going from "I'm afraid of leaves" to "I'm a fire-making challenge away from final 4." Casting was probably wetting themselves from having so many "oh this person will make good TV" choices ending up all on the same tribe and then not even knowing how to react when they actually dominated. Vanuatu is my favorite season so I can just leave that there >_>. And Marquesas... well yeah, I wish I had been a fan at the time. I didn't start watching Survivor until Guatemala. As amazing as Marquesas was and as much as I do appreciate it, to have been able to watch it live and spoiler-free would have been a hell of an experience.
I can't believe HHH is hated on so much. It's such an epic season, great cast, competitive gameplay! Yes I understand people don't enjoy the winner, but that's not a reason to write off the entire season. Many great seasons have terrible winners, Heroes Vs Villians is a perfect example.
There is no season of Survivor I could look someone in the eye and say it sucks. IOI comes the closest, but even that season had some great moments in the premerge. I respect every season for what it does, even if it is Thailand, One World, Nicaragua, or IOI! Again, a little less IOI though, we can forget about that one. Except for Noura, we shall never forget about Noura
There's just those Seasons that don't click for you. For me it's San Juan Del Sur, Redemption Island, and One World. I never feel motivated to rewatch them
IOI was good season but that Dan's thing made that season less likable along with the inappropriate behaviour of Missy and Elizabeth when they acted like everything was right with Dan and they accused Janet of being a liar ..that was total mess and bad look that affected the whole season .. imagine if Dan was evicted at the merge episode ..the trajectory of the seaon was going to be much better...there were some great characters in the cast who i am certain we would see them again on the show like Janet , Elaine , Kellee , Lauren , Noura , Jamal and Dean .
I think a moment in Fiji that is not remembered as much as it should be is Dreamz backing out of his immunity/car deal with Yau-man. That tribal council was so dramatic. I also think Chris in the Vanuatu season should be remembered one of the great players in the game. It was amazing how he won from from being in a 6:1 minority.
Vanuatu definitely doesn’t get enough credit as a good season. It picked up so much speed and Chris pulling the biggest underdog story in Survivor history
Fiji and Exile Island were the first two seasons I ever watched so I was never sure if I was personally attached because of that or if they actually were really good seasons
While it's nice seeing Vanuatu here, when I think underrated seasons, I always think San Juan Del Sur, Guatemala, Millennials vs Gen X, and (at least from what I've heard people say), Kaoh Rong alongside it, so it was a little odd not seeing any of those. But I will concede Marquesas is really underrated now, especially for how important to Survivor's history and evolution it is.
10:16 : Oh damn, Rosie hosting... I so clearly remember the next season, Jeff Probst was in a commercial hyping up the soon to come Survivor Thailand reunion show... "No singing... No dancing..." Clearly a shot at Rosie. LOL
Vanuatu should be revered so much more than it is currently. The Yasur 6 is one of my favorite alliances of all time. Great characters and players alike
3:02 I also find it ironic that 2 Survivor Winners that lots of people said didn't deserve to win their season, Ben and Michelle, made it into the Top 5 of Winners at War.
Personally, I find One World to be very underrated. It was highly entertaining and most of the women were very likeable in my opinion, and the men had some good and bad ones, which is the case in most seasons. But both strategy and drama were there and it just had good vibes overall. I really don’t understand all the hate. The men who made it far may not have been the most likeable, but they were oddball characters and were entertaining to watch. And I personally found all of the women who made it far to be very likeable except for Alicia

shane is the ONLY castaway to make me cry. he was wildly entertaining (him having cirie diagnose him, the blackberry) & still had a heart. survivor casting needs to step tf up & put him on a season
I think my most underrated favorite is BvW 2. I know its not a well loved cast, but I think it has a lot of greats!
Vanuatu coming after All-Stars already meant the season was facing an uphill battle before it even started. The pre-merge isn't bad but I wouldn't say it's anything great but the post-merge and Chris's revenge story somehow turning into a win is one of most amazing storylines the show has ever had.
My favorite season
You should do best/most unique rewards or greatest characters of all time! Love your content!
Thank you for watching! Love the best/most unique reward idea!
Cirie was soooo popular they brought back the Fan Fav Award
so glad to see hhh on this list, its one of my favorite modern seasons and it tends to be the one i recommend for new viewers
Guatemala, The Amazon, and Edge of Extinction are the most underrated I’ve seen. But I’m still going thru the seasons.
Also think Kaoh Rong is a top 10 season. Not sure if that’s too big of an leap to claim as one of the most underrated, though.
I agree that Vanuatu is very enjoyable but never even talked about❗️
Marquesas and Exile Island are two of my top 10 seasons! Thankful I’m not alone in my Marquesas love. Keep these awesome videos coming!!
Vanuatu was the first season I remember seeing as a kid.
All of these seasons are entertaining. I can’t believe tons of websites rank these seasons as the worst.
during the filming of survivor: fiji there was coup d’tat happening in in the country. because of that there was no loved ones visit. earl survived 39 days in an unstable country and won $1 million for it. that’s iconic
Honestly, I think Marquesas is underrated because a lot of people didn't know where the Marquesas was. Coming off of Africa and Australia, too easily recognizable places for most Americans, Marquesas was too obscure for them. Especially since the locations were such a huge part of the marketing and storytelling and overall draw for the show early on.
I'm always surprised SJDS never makes people's top "Survivor newbie cast" list. I absolutely loved that season
My most underrated season is Kaoh Rong - so many dynamic, interesting players in one newbie cast!
People like koah Rong it’s not underrated lol
Guatemala is completely underrated
SoPa is my underrated fave. It’s Ozzy at his best, and Coach at his most hypocritical. Which to me are both interesting in different ways! The majority of the cast is memorable (especially Upolu) and we got a very deserving and unique winner in Sophie. My favorite moment is when Brandon gives up immunity to Albert, and then he gets voted out. Albert obviously knowing Brandon was going home, yet continuing to insist Brandon is safe always cracks me up!
"for revenge, basically"
- Ozzy at his finest
Honestly the season was decent imo except for the pagonging
Guatemala
Fiji
Vanuatu
If only Zoe had worked so hard and played so hard that she could’ve made everyone love marquesas.
Panama/Exile Island being considered underrated is criminal.
Sean and rob confronting John on marquesas is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen
Boston Rob's take on the members of the other tribe at merge is hilarious.
All Stars is under-rated. It has one of the best all time casts. Awesome game play. Best season ever played (by Rob) and he did not win. But he got him and his future wife to the final And there was a great love story to boot..
This is wrong season 30 was absolutely insane yet very underrated
1. Mike won 5 immunities which tied the record
2. There was crazy drama between will and sherni
3. The final tribal was intense and no one knew excatly who would win but had a rough idea
This is my favourite Survivor channel. I have adored Survivor since its beginning and am loving watching a lot of the older seasons here in Australia whilst still in lockdown. I will NEVER tire of "survivors ready". "if anyone has a hidden immunity idol.." "head back to camp I've got nothing for ya" etc. Am I the only one who doesn't like Boston Rob? He'd be first one voted out if on Aus Survivor. Our own version has been awesome for the past 2 seasons and host Jonathan gives Jeff a run for his money.
Marquesas is the first season I watched so it's ranked pretty high on my list.
Panama: Specifically Danielle as a player, she was an amazing villain and a content queen m, her fights with everyone and her feud with Shane was amazing. She redeemed herself in HvV , would love to see her play again
The Amazon is very underrated imo
Totally agree about Fiji. I always roll my eyes every time Dalton Ross re-lists his season rankings and it's near the very bottom. It was quite fun!
I’m gong through every season at random and I just finished Vanuatu. Absolutely fantastic season, Chris is one of the greatest winning arcs ever.
Vanuatu is on my top 5 seasons, its so great and good tv to see all those women taking controll of the show and then fighting with each other. Also, there is a lot of nice personalities.
As a relatively new survivor fan (and I know this is going to cause some eye rolls), I found it difficult to commit to watching some of the pre-HD seasons. But I finally committed to Cook Islands, and I'm very glad I did. Now I might just have to watch some of these underrated seasons next ;) starting with Marquesas
I totally get that! I never recommend pre-HD seasons for newbies just because it's such a huge jump down in picture quality. If Marquesas moves a little too slow, I'd totally recommend China! It's got a great cast, moves a pretty brisk pace, and is super funny.
@@IdoledOut It's also the second to last pre-HD season and the 1st season to have the into done the way HD seasons do it.
U go Jeff we Stan that
Glad to see Marquesas get its due. Such a great season!
Exile Island is a great season. I’ve watched through it twice. Totally recommend
Tim Apple hahaha. Well played sir.
WHAT S4 MARQASIES IS UNDERATED WHY ITS THE TOP 5 BEST SEASONS WHAAAAT
Vanuatu and Exile island are one of the best seasons ever. Eliza from Vanuatu, Shane and Danielle from Exile Island are my favorite playerss
I've actually rated Panama as my 6th favorite season ever, it's that good!
I liked survivor Fiji just cause lisi and the meke dance they did was pretty funny
Gabon is underrated it is genuinely the most fun I've had watching a season of survivor. It's a comedy and a train wreck I love it.
Worlds Apart is underrated and doesnt deserve the widespread hate that it gets.
Guatemala, Vanuatu, and Nicaragua for me. I would say San Juan del Sur, but I think it’s been getting the praise it deserves lately. The best thing about Guatemala is Stephenie’s arc of being a hero turned villain.
I like this list. Fiji had one of the best opening themes of the entire series (I'm a sucker for the theme and Fiji's rendition is one of the best) plus that random "Well if Mookie or Alex has the idol, why not just vote Edgardo?" moment from Stacy. I'm sure there are already better coined terms for it already but I remember calling it Plan C when it first happened and it was absolutely amazing to watch live (and I was kinda rooting for the horsemen too, so I felt bad for Ed... but the genius of that move at the time...) Plus yeah Earl is a totally underrated winner. Fair points on HHH. The fire-building format change did rub me the wrong the way and I did like the cast. Lauren especially I want to see return. Exile Island I feel like is pretty well received, at least from what I've seen... but if it wasn't, I would be annoyed lol. One couldn't write a better dysfunctional tribe than Casaya in a scripted show and the fact that they really only had to contend with one person is that much better. So many great memories, from Shane implying that Courtney's apartment was mediocre while literally threatening her life and her first thought was "my apartment's not shitty" to the absurdly hilarious edit of Bruce's medevac to Cirie going from "I'm afraid of leaves" to "I'm a fire-making challenge away from final 4." Casting was probably wetting themselves from having so many "oh this person will make good TV" choices ending up all on the same tribe and then not even knowing how to react when they actually dominated. Vanuatu is my favorite season so I can just leave that there >_>. And Marquesas... well yeah, I wish I had been a fan at the time. I didn't start watching Survivor until Guatemala. As amazing as Marquesas was and as much as I do appreciate it, to have been able to watch it live and spoiler-free would have been a hell of an experience.
for so many years I thought s9 was the most underrated season in the history glad to see this
I agree with #1-3, 5 so much! (hvvhvh is just okay for me). Great video
Gabon, Nicagura, and Mike Holloway's Season, and South Pacific.
I can't believe HHH is hated on so much. It's such an epic season, great cast, competitive gameplay! Yes I understand people don't enjoy the winner, but that's not a reason to write off the entire season. Many great seasons have terrible winners, Heroes Vs Villians is a perfect example.
There is no season of Survivor I could look someone in the eye and say it sucks. IOI comes the closest, but even that season had some great moments in the premerge. I respect every season for what it does, even if it is Thailand, One World, Nicaragua, or IOI! Again, a little less IOI though, we can forget about that one. Except for Noura, we shall never forget about Noura
There's just those Seasons that don't click for you. For me it's San Juan Del Sur, Redemption Island, and One World. I never feel motivated to rewatch them
IOI was good season but that Dan's thing made that season less likable along with the inappropriate behaviour of Missy and Elizabeth when they acted like everything was right with Dan and they accused Janet of being a liar ..that was total mess and bad look that affected the whole season .. imagine if Dan was evicted at the merge episode ..the trajectory of the seaon was going to be much better...there were some great characters in the cast who i am certain we would see them again on the show like Janet , Elaine , Kellee , Lauren , Noura , Jamal and Dean .
The only one I hate was one world they’re j so unlikeable
I think a moment in Fiji that is not remembered as much as it should be is Dreamz backing out of his immunity/car deal with Yau-man. That tribal council was so dramatic. I also think Chris in the Vanuatu season should be remembered one of the great players in the game. It was amazing how he won from from being in a 6:1 minority.
Gabon will always be my second favorite season (Behind Pearl Islands)
Vanuatu definitely doesn’t get enough credit as a good season. It picked up so much speed and Chris pulling the biggest underdog story in Survivor history
Hi Luke. Is there an Idoled Out vídeo of the best players who never returned? Maybe Todd/Marcus/Nate, etc.?
I haven't done that yet, but I'd like to at some point!
Survivor exile island (12) is absolutely the most under rated in my opinion. I’m really glad to see it on the list. SHANE IS AWESOME
Fiji and Exile Island were the first two seasons I ever watched so I was never sure if I was personally attached because of that or if they actually were really good seasons
When is everybody going to open to the fact that Edge of Extinction is actually a good season with a phenomenal cast
Ikr
"Bruce hates his bowels" 😂😂😂
Loved HHH. Casting knocked out of the park.
While it's nice seeing Vanuatu here, when I think underrated seasons, I always think San Juan Del Sur, Guatemala, Millennials vs Gen X, and (at least from what I've heard people say), Kaoh Rong alongside it, so it was a little odd not seeing any of those. But I will concede Marquesas is really underrated now, especially for how important to Survivor's history and evolution it is.
10:16 : Oh damn, Rosie hosting... I so clearly remember the next season, Jeff Probst was in a commercial hyping up the soon to come Survivor Thailand reunion show... "No singing... No dancing..." Clearly a shot at Rosie. LOL
Vanuatu should be revered so much more than it is currently. The Yasur 6 is one of my favorite alliances of all time. Great characters and players alike
I just psychically knew HHH would be in this for some reason.
marquesas is my favorite season EVER
3:02 I also find it ironic that 2 Survivor Winners that lots of people said didn't deserve to win their season, Ben and Michelle, made it into the Top 5 of Winners at War.
Personally, I find One World to be very underrated. It was highly entertaining and most of the women were very likeable in my opinion, and the men had some good and bad ones, which is the case in most seasons. But both strategy and drama were there and it just had good vibes overall. I really don’t understand all the hate. The men who made it far may not have been the most likeable, but they were oddball characters and were entertaining to watch. And I personally found all of the women who made it far to be very likeable except for Alicia
Fiji,Thailand, Marquesses,Guatemala,Panama,Vanuatu,Gabon Underrated
I really liked IOTI. My family friend was Tommy so that might have been a reason...
