Before I go into the top 3, I just want to say this:

This was always going to be the final 3. These 3 seasons stand head-and-shoulders above all the rest, and there was no doubt in my mind that these 3 were going to be the top 3. I can find virtually no major flaws in any of them so mainly these rankings are just going to be based off of personal preference. With that being said, let's get to it!

3) Survivor: China

China is a near-perfect Survivor season. It's one of the only seasons where both tribes just work as each other. I personally favor the catty and cliquey Fei Long tribe, but the messy and dysfunctional Zhan Hu tribe is amazing as well. Survivor: China quite possibly has the best cast in Survivor history, with everyone playing some sort of part in the season, and everyone having some level of STAR POWER.

China is another season that has some very innovative gameplay (James being blindsided with two idols comes to mind). Despite no REAL idols being played all season long, the game stays fresh and exciting, with blindsides around every corner. The final 12 through the final 7 might be one of the most exciting strings of episodes in the history of Survivor, tbh. The game slows down a little during the endgame, but the contestants have enough star power to carry the rest of the season to its conclusion without needing a flashy endgame, and the final 3 contests Missy/Jaclyn/Natalie for the best final 3 of all time.

China really does have it all. Great tribes, a fantastic cast, exciting gameplay. The only reason China is lower than Borneo and Pearl Islands is because I don't think it's as good as the two of them at building a storyline, but other than that, China is basically a perfect season <3.

Obviously the top 2 is Borneo and Pearl Islands. Which one is better?

Neither. They tied ^_^. My reasoning as to why will be posted below.
