I will be updating this soon.

31. South Pacific - I'm an atheist was not a fan of all the religious aspects going on. Even if I were religious, I'd believe that God would have better things to do than worry about a bunch of people who marooned themselves on an island for money. It's a pretty dislikeable cast for the most part, and the editing is not done well. Redemption Island is boring, the returness made it suck, and it just wasn't fun to watch.

30. One World - One of the worst casts in Survivor history. The fact that Colton was the leader of the Manono tribe means half the cast is already doing something wrong. The girls' tribe was pretty much run by Kim, which continues into the merge. Kim winning did feel satisfying but ultimately did not do enough to quench my entertainment.

29. Thailand - People who I've talked with frequently in the chat know that I'm no fan of old-school Survivor. Very little strategy, unlikeable  and bitter cast, and just a negative atmosphere overall. Brian is a great but unlikeable winner.

28. Nicaragua - This season probably would be ranked a couple of spots higher if it wasn't for NaOnka hogging all the screen time. Now, I'm not saying the season has much merits outside of that, either. The Espada tribe were doomed from the beginning, the Medallion of Power sucked, actual players like Marty and Brenda went out early, and of course the double quit permeated throughout the season, with what I think is the least strategic F9, F8, F7, etc. NaOnka is probably one of my least favorite castaways of all time.

27. Redemption Island - The first three episodes and the merge episode are great, which is why this is higher than the others. Once Russell is eliminated, however, a lot of the steam is really taken out of the season. Ometepe is full of goats who appear to be paving the road for Boston Rob, and they're all lambs that are willing to go into the slaughterhouse. It just wasn't fun and was a long slog of episodes.

26. Fiji - Unlikeable cast, for the most part. Most are arrogant and bitter people, and I had no fun watching it. The Haves vs Have Nots twist is probably one of the worst twists to ever exist in Survivor, and Ravu ended up winning only one challenge out of 14. Earl and Yau-Man bring this season up, though, and the episode where Edgardo goes out is fantastic. The car deal gone wrong is also interesting.

25. The Australian Outback - Again, I am not a big fan of old school Survivor, and this one's no exception. Pre-merge was great, but post-merge was a long slog. Cast was great but strategy was lackluster. There's just not a lot going on.

24. Borneo - I do not carry any nostalgia for this season. I don't give weight for "this is the first _____" at all, and without that the season really doesn't hold up. Obviously the production work is less polished, the pacing of the episodes are much slower, and little strategy. Didn't care for the season.

23. Marquesas - Pretty lackluster season. With Marammu losing most of the challenges, the episodes really get lost and don't have a lot of things going on. You have the iconic "bottom to the top" alliance flip with Kathy, and a rock draw, but otherwise not much else is going on in this season.

22. Africa - Pretty much same reasoning as Marquesas. Location wasn't stellar, strategy was lacking, just a boring season overall. Tribe switch was great, but otherwise nothing memorable.

21. Gabon - This is a very controversial season. If you like seasons based off their cast, you'll love this season. If you prefer the strategy, you'll hate it. I watch Survivor for the strategy, so this season is not my favorite.
