Updated season ranking! The cream of the crop: 1. Kaoh Rong 2. Vanuatu 3. Pearl Islands 4. San Juan Del Sur 5. China 6. Philippines Very good seasons with a few minor flaws: 7. Marquesas 8. Borneo 9. Heroes vs. Villains 10. Nicaragua 11. Guatemala 12. Gabon 13. Survivor 42 Largely solid seasons, but with some major flaws that prevent them from being better: 14. David vs. Goliath 15. Cagayan 16. Exile Island 17. Fiji 18. Amazon 19. Survivor 41 20. Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers 21. Micronesia 22. Palau Has some distinctly negative aspects, but has enough fun and enjoyable content to not hate outright: 23. Game Changers 24. Winners at War 25. Blood vs. Water 26. Edge of Extinction 27. Samoa 28. South Pacific Mostly bland and forgettable: 29. Tocantins 30. Africa 31. One World 32. Australia 33. Ghost Island Extremely, extremely negative and unpleasant, but at least KINDA interesting in that negativity: 34. Thailand 35. Worlds Apart 36. Island of the Idols Aggressively boring and soulless, and revolving around a twist that honestly makes the season worse through its existence: 37. Millennials vs. Gen X 38. Cook Islands 39.

So much for that Twitch chat. I just got back btw. I didn't get to watch the after show part, either, because my parents and I had a LOT to discuss (long story short, they're selling their condo) so we got started way late (which is why I wasn't here during) Thoughts:

Eh, I think Romeo had a solid FTC. It's just that Maryanne was there with an even better one, and he was starting from an even worse position than she was. Much better than Mike's, at any rate.

I mean I guess I'll give him that he was actually really that inept at the social game. Like, his comments at the racial tribal council, I really think they came from a place of truly not being able to read the room. So I guess he's kinda interesting in that regard but still uncomfortable to watch a lot of the time. --- darkx Twitch - MattyDsCorner Games beaten in 2022 - 15; Most recent - Golden Sun: The Lost Age ...

Yeah, Romeo wasn't BAD - he just didn't inspire anything. By "ineffectual" I mean that he didn't change anybody's mind, nothing more. Mike's FTC was bad because it was shades of Benjamin keeping up the "HONOR INTEGRITY" shtick when he needed to drop it and admit his duplicity. Neither of them did that and thus both got 2nd place to a well-liked under-the-radar female who blew the jury's socks off. Jonathan last makes no sense to me. He made challenges more fun to watch than anyone has in a long, long time, and I don't think he was a bad guy in the slightest. He LEARNED some things and I don't buy Lindsay saying he was condescending - I can get how she felt that way, but my fly on the wall perspective was him telling her "you're one to talk." The thing with this cast was that almost everyone was at least good and some were great, but I can't say there are any "all-time favorites" here. Here's my quickie ranking: 18. Jackson (not telling production about the lithium is the only reason) 17. Marya (Secondbootitis) 16. Chanelle (I recall nothing about her aside from the "Oh crap, it's Chanelle, stop talking" gag) 15. Zach 14. Lindsay 13. Jenny 12. Lydia 11. Hai 10. Rocks 9. Romeo 8. Daniel (I found his ineptitude hilarious because he was a tryhard) 7. Swati 6. Drea 5. Jonathan 4. Mike 3. Omar 2. Tori 1. Maryanne --- BlueCrystalTear | You're living your own life.

Jonathan in that finale definitely came across as condescending. Yeah, Lindsay voted for him too, but just smugly repeating "you voted for me" AFTER making the claim that you were ALREADY planning on voting for Omar (which means you betrayed her trust just as much as she betrayed yours, from both of your perspectives) comes across as just gloating that both of you lied, but you won out over her. --- Touch fuzzy.

It wasn't even him really being salty. It was mostly just smugness and rubbing it in Lindsay's face. Like, by making the argument that he was already going to vote out Omar regardless, it comes across like he just was fortunate that Lindsay/Omar turned on him as well, so he could justify his betrayal by pointing at their betrayal. --- Touch fuzzy.

Honestly, they both looked terrible there. Lindsay basically acted as if she expected Jonathan to just lay down and get voted out, and the fact that he did something about it was a great offense. And it's not like Jonathan was blindsided at Tribal that Lindsay was turning on him and Mike. That was the whole reason they threw votes on Romeo on in the first place. --- ""Love" is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope."

I think Lindsay admittedly already didn't like Jonathan for talking down to her and condescending to her (corroborated by several accounts, and events we saw on the show), but I think it was frustrating to have him acting like she was the bad guy, while also climbing up on a lofty perch to claim he was already planning on blindsiding her and Omar regardless of what she did. It was a lot like some of the arguments Mike made at FTC: "It's okay for me to betray you because you were going to betray me", like some sort of Minority Report justification as to why your move wasn't REALLY a betrayal. --- Touch fuzzy.

BlueCrystalTear 05/26/22 12:48:42 PM #197: |
I don't think being direct was the same as being condescending. "You voted for me. I voted for Omar. We were both plotting against each other. You can't blame me for doing the same thing you were doing." Jonathan acted far more mature than Lindsay did there. Lindsay was desperate to absolve herself and looked far worse than Jonathan there. I can get why she perceived him as condescending, but I don't think he was trying to condescend. I think he was trying to get her to take a deep breath and think for a second. EDIT: And so we're clear, I am simply talking about that conversation in particular. There were other points where Jonathan was surely condescending toward her, but that wasn't one of them. --- BlueCrystalTear | You're living your own life.

Lindsay was doing that too! Jonathan knew that Lindsay was targeting him (or Mike), which was the whole reason Maryanne had such a hard time convincing them to vote Omar. And then she acts all upset when Jonathan left her out of the loop, when he knew the whole time that she was gunning for him. --- ""Love" is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope."
