TOP 30 BABY!

Now, I would just like to say that basically every season from here on out, I genuinely LIKED. So despite the critiscisms I might give, I'd still rather watch them than basically any other TV show on the planet (with the exception of some BB seasons I will admit :P)

#30- Survivor: Cook Islands

I remember when I had only watched from seasons 19 and above and I wanted to go back to watch the "classics", I did some research to find which seasons were the better ones that I should go back to. Cook Islands was consistently a top contender amongst various sites so I went with that. Lo and behold, my expectations were  far too high for this bore of a season.

The only interesting things I can remember prior to the mutiny were Billy's confession for his love of Candice and Cao Boi relieving somebody's headache with nothing but his fingers. Everything else just seemed pointless and had no relevance to the game whatsoever. I think this season might even top Redemption Island for most characters that were completely ignored and had no story whatsoever. I mean does anybody remember anything Melissa did while in the game? (For those of you that just said, "Melissa who?" I don't blame you.)

The mutiny I will admit was a great moment but to be perfectly honest, I didn't even LIKE the Aitu Four. With the exception of Yul, none of them were of any interest to me and could've easily gone out in 13th place without me giving a damn. Then again, the Raro alliance was just as under-edited that I didn't even really care about THEM. All in all, this season had terrible character development, a slow pre-merge and pagonging at the merge that led to a pretty predictable win. It's a good fucking thing that King Penner was on this season otherwise it very well could've been in dead last.

And as if you couldn't get enough pagongings, here's ANOTHER!

#29- One World

One World is the kind of season you want to avoid showing people who you're trying to convince to watch the show because the strategy this season was absolute horrific from basically ALL fronts. The guys were all PATHETIC. The young jocks alliance proves that people still can't count, Manono giving up tribal immunity was so fucking stupid, Colton was a cry-baby sob story who I didn't even enjoy watching and it gets worse from ther. That, combined with the fact that nobody dared challenge Kim except for maybe Troyzan ruined any suspense as to who was going to win.

Now, don't get me wrong, One World DID have its moments. Alicia saved this season from being a complete failure, having DYNAMITE confessionals. Yeah, she was a bully, but that doesn't take away from the fact that she was fucking hilarious. Kat was another one of my favourite characters, not even realising that there was going to be bacon in a BLT sandwich XD. Jay's blindside was just a stroke of stupidity that I somehow found really funny to watch. However, overall, this season is essentially Redemption Island with a little more characterisation and funny confessionals. Nothing special.

#28- Survivor: South Pacific

Look, I am about as religious as a rock so as you can probably tell, this season was extremely, extremely cringeworthy and NOT in a good way. I HATED The Family with a burning passion; Coach was the most boring he's ever been, Brandon was a try-hard bombshell, Edna did nothing until her fate was sealed, Rick got about 2 confessionals, Albert was about as cringe-worthy as they come and the ONE person from Savaii that actually made it far happened to OZZY, the only one of them I couldn't stand!

With that being said, it does have some saving graces. I did enjoy a lot of the Savaii tribe's dynamics; from Cochran constantly being voted against by his tribe but never quite going home, followed by flipping on his tribe and getting berated for it, Jim Rice slaying Ozzy's girlfriend like a king <3, Kick-ass barbie Whitney and Keith's obvious relationship that NOBODY seemed to be worried about and who can forget Papa Bear scampering around looking for idols so obviously but thought he was being so sneaky? Also Stacey and Christine were GOLD entertainment wise and I loved them absolute destroy "Benjamin" on Redemption Island. Sophie was also a great winner so that made up for a lot of the religious bullcrap.

Another thing, Redemption Island is the worst twist ever invented. Period. In Blood vs. Water it wasn't so bad, but the first two times it did absolutely nothing to shake up the game and I really hope to never see it again, as I do this dull season.
