'The season may not quite hold up when watched next to some later ones, but nothing will ever be able to duplicate that sense of wonder and excitement'
1st (tied)

'It wasn't just the most insane four-episode-run in Survivor history ...it was also...the perfect mix of stupid and solid gameplay'
1st (tied)

'Filled with huge memorable moments like [name] voting himself off, [name] giving [name] his immunity idol, and [name] handing out two immunity idols at one Tribal Council'
3rd

'Some people hate on [name] as a winner, but she won challenges and played a great social game'
4th

'It was all delicious. Loses points, though, for the awful Outcasts twist, which also led to a disappointing final two'
5th

'I loved watching one tribe decimate the other, culminating with [name] becoming a tribe of one'
6th

'The casting and storylines that developed gave us people to root for and against — something every great Survivor season needs. And how awesome is this final four?'
7th

'If I was grading this solely on pre-merge episodes this would be waaaay down the list due to the emphasis on big personalities as opposed to big gameplay. But everything post-merg
8th

'[Name]'s controlling of the game was truly a work of art...he was robbed in the end, though, in the most controversial jury decision ever'

'Yes, it was a weak final two, but it also had a woman peeing on a guy's hand.'

11th

'Really good cast. Really bad location'

'There is one thing I really do like about this season, and that is the cast'

15th

'Best. Reunion Show. Ever.'

20th

'One of the more unlikable casts so far.'
21st

'I don't blame producers: The battle of the sexes worked well the first time around'
22nd

'[Name] was more a horrible human being than a classic villain, and the rest of the players were mostly either completely forgettable or people you wish you could forget.'
23rd

'The fake merge and brutal last challenge...keep this dud out of the bottom spot. Barely'
24th

'The ''Haves Vs. Have-Nots'' twist was one of the worst creative decisions in Survivor history'
