Hi everyone! I'll be doing season rankings as "All Legends" will be taking place this December and be the final season of the franchise.
49. Survivor Vietnam (S35)
---------------------------------
This is a season that always remains uncomfortable for me to talk about based strictly on the fact from start to finish it was not fun. I really forced the casting process and essentially casted a partial friend group as Tengaged was dead at this point in time. It was also not fun in the sense that the final vote became a huge controversy. If there is any bright spot in this season it's that Shawn ( SuitMan13) was medically evacuated and big players like Jake ( Lemjam6), Jasoi ( Jasoi), and Kelly ( Kelly0412) were the primary drivers of the season (there were entertaining moments for sure). Ultimately, there's a reason why this season was stripped from the record books.
48. Survivor Comoros (S25)
---------------------------------
Wow! Throughout the years, I think a lot of people believed this season would be the worst by a mile. Comoros maybe had the best logo in the series but the worst cast possible in regards to activity. We had two walks, two medical evacuations, and yet again another non-existent pre merge. What lifts this season over the other Vietnam is the duo of Patrick ( Pokepat) and Tashi ( tashi) sliding to the end together along with a few other characters in Barbra (BarbraStreisand) and Logan ( lhooper902976). Outside of that, I would say the game was extremely bad.
47. Survivor South Africa (S30)
---------------------------------------
Honestly, the Second Generation probably provided the worst seasons of the entire series as we further look into these rankings. The season consisted of a quit and three medical evacuations and went on to be a very unmemorable season. What were the good takeaways? I really enjoyed Benjamin X ( BENLINUS) and Juniper ( NewNightmare7) duo that had been in the works as they ended up being powerful forces throughout the entirety of the game. It was also interesting that Tim ( lionsden121) turned out being the underdog. Other than that, Eoin ( Eoin) the last picked goes to win the game nearly being perfect and Kolby ( ThePug) would be the winner of All Stars II after being a late addition to the cast. Andrew ( turney1805) was unfortunately not on the jury trip.
46. Survivor Israel (S38)
------------------------------
The concept of Survivor Israel in theory was sound. The format consisted of always having some form of combined tribal council. The season also featured four returnees in Adam ( mathboy9), Alan (AlanDuncan), Christian ( Christian37) and Martin ( Hudspith). We lost some heavy hitters early in Jayson ( BBlover96) and Chili ( Lalisa) which ultimately slowed down the game from an activity standpoint. However, new players like Robert ( Robson704) and Kyle ( Kyle12212) proved to be strong competitors and were both asked back for last chances to memory. What the season will likely be remembered for is Will ( IceBeast) steamrolling the season but not much else.
45. Survivor Jordan (S4)
------------------------------
This is quite the throwback! At first glance, I think a lot of people will look at this cast and say what's so bad about this season? We had Jimbo ( sahmosean), Erik ( YoundAndReckless), Kelly ( Kelly0412), Mike ( Michael31), and the names continue. The problem that the season proved was activity and consistency. The "Black Vote" twist which allowed an eliminated player to cast a vote at the next tribal council was non-impactful and there were also self-votes across the board. Erik and Jimbo ran the season till Jimbo decided to cut Erik and Loop (Loopulle) was a unique character and became one of the more interesting zero vote finalists. On paper, I expected a much better season and got maybe 20% effort out of this cast outside of the individuals in the final four (along with John and Kelly).
