I'll never get tired of saying this, SJDS is A CLASSIC!!! It's gained a lot more respect throughout the years and I believe it only needs time for it to be an absolute favorite. It's not THE BEST, but the poetry and cinematic feels of the season (credited to Nadiya and Natalie) will always be one of the best story arcs in a single season :)

[@noahs5636]

I 100% agree! The premerge isn’t even that bad and it has its moments. This season probably has some of the best editing and one of the best storylines. They couldn’t write this season if they tried!

[@riverlari]

Agreed! I actually think it sets up the characters and their dynamic perfectly! I don't think the blindsides (particularly Ozzy's) would've hit as hard if we didn't get the relationship build up first. Peak storytelling IMO

[@synyster5469]

I would definitely now add survivor 46 to this list! Pre merge was boring with the constant yanu losses, the bhanu over saturation and mess, the underwhelming randen medevac, lack of interesting dynamics on siga, etc. post merge, however, had a streak of SEVEN blindsides, four of which were in a row with idols in their pockets, Q single handedly causing chaos in the season, the iconic applebees meltdown, and other fun moments!

[@ArcanineEspeon]

I was looking for a comment like this! I don't really get all the Bhanu håte and meming I've been seeing, but one tribe being dubbed the latest Matsing is always depressing. I would also give 45 an honorable mention, although it really picked up at the swap (except for the whole Sean issue) and I think an argument could be made that 46 is overall a better season because it didn't have one alliance successfully dominate the whole time; also, Jelinsky. Still, you can never top Kaleb saving himself!

[@chrisv.h.2307]

Micronesia had one of the best post-merges ever, but the beginning was so bad you can feel waves of disappointment coming from Jeff up until the girls' manipulation of Eric. Also, I totally agree about Vanuatu! The story of Twila, Chris, and Scout breaks my heart. Scout basically set up the whole game for Twila to win because she desperately needed the money-- including setting Chris up to be roped into getting Ami out and taking Twila to the end. Twila can't own her game at the end because life has taught her she doesn't deserve to be a winner, and the jury's personal attacks convinced her of that again (especially Sarge).Then Chris's blatant BS wins him a million.

Any time Stacy the queen of Fiji gets mentioned I am happy. As terrible as Fiji’s premerge is, the postmerge really is amazing on re-watch. At the time I think a lot of people were pro-Yau Man, and Earl didn’t get his flowers until much later. I will say, this jury was bitter with a capital salty, and the questioning of Cassandra and Dreamz was absolutely ugly. But in post, this was actually a very strong Final 3 that didn’t get as much appreciation until very, very recently.

[@zeaferjones1404]

Micronesia's premerge is interesting because Parvati didn't seem like the winner at that point. For example, if you asked Kathy who was in control of the game when she left, I doubt she would say Parvati. It's not long after Kathy leaves that Parvati than has complete control of the game and is blindsiding everyone besides Amanda.

[@stephaniecasey9100]

The thing is, if it was a final 3 Parvati doesn't win. I firmly believe Cirie wins if it's a final 3. There was not a vote that Parvati could take credit for that Cirie wasn't part of the decision making also and Cirie came up with idea and was more involved than Parvati with getting Erik to give up his immunity necklace.

[@Trey-dd6md]

Hey Luke! I don’t know if you know but Candice (Yes The “Hero” from Raro Tribe that you ALWAYS bash on) was supposed to be on Micronesia instead of Parvati but she declined as she had just started medical school before filming so Parvati took her spot. So if not for that none of this stuff happens. Maybe that outta stop you from bashing on her and might explain why she was on the Heroes Tribe. Because she gave up the chance to be on the season to give us THIS!

I mean, with the whole Brenda thing at Caramoan's FTC, yeah maybe she took it too far, but wouldn't you also be pissed if you did something like that and "were the only reason" your closest ally stayed in the game, only for them to blindside you later? And then on top of that, claim that they actually would have stayed in the game despite what they told you? And also, I feel like her asking Dawn to remove her retainer in front of the jury isn't an unreasonable question, given how according to Brenda, that was the first time she'd ever heard Dawn not be super self-conscious about her teeth. Call me a petty bitch, but I stand by what Brenda did. And I also stand by her decision to not vote for Dawn in the end. She was burned by her and regardless of if she took out her retainer or not, it reveals that she lied to Brenda about it.

[@huhhhh5508]

Exactly! That was outside of the game moment for Brenda. For Dawn to say her life in the game was in Brenda’s hands? Then vote her out. Brenda was fair because Dawn was the one that said it. lol

[@walsh9080]

I think it would've been more forgivable if Brenda would've then voted for Dawn.

[@KeitaroHirochi]

@@walsh9080 That's not quite "fair" if it guarantees her Brenda's vote. The only thing that it proved was that Dawn manipulated Brenda, and didn't just burn her after "her life in the game depended on Brenda". So after this happens, apologies have been made and accepted, but Brenda is free to vote for whomever she thinks should have the win and the million. Well, who am I kidding, she's free to do that either way, but let it be known that if you burn an ally, and apologize at FTC, you're not entitled to their vote.

Agreed. The only things that entertained me in the premerge were Cody's and Gabler's antics. Then the merge hit and it's like the whole season hit the gas. Maybe the season is more engaging as a whole if it's binged, since there's less of a wait between the setup in the premerge and the payoff in the postmerge.

[@IdoledOut]

[@km_studios]

@@IdoledOut I would still swap out San Juan Del Sur for Palau. I kind of enjoyed the pre-merge of San Juan Del Sur, as kind of a Gabon-style trainwreck. Meanwhile, Palau's pre-merge is pretty painful to watch; especially on the re-watch, already knowing that Ulong gets completely decimated. Much like Survivor: Fiji, it just isn't much fun to watch one tribe get completely steamrolled, especially when none of the people on that tribe overcome it (unlike, say, Malcolm and Denise)

[@Quatrixjs1]

Excellent taste having Vanuatu in your top 10. FTC is one of the best segments in survivor history

[@harrdeeharr]

I’ve thought Micronesia is super overrated for a while, and I find it very satisfying to finally see a Survivor youtuber criticize it. People are so in love with the Ozzy, Jason, and Erik blindsides that they ignore the three quits, two medevacs, unfair final 2 twist, and largely unlikeable or underedited fans tribe. I’ll never understand how it consistently makes the top 3 of people’s lists. Most of the season is mid at best.

[@AA-dd3we]

I also would say Parvati is super overrated as a player and winner. Once you critically look at the "she made finals twice" hype, you see a pretty mean-spirited player who mostly knows how to ride an alliance and get lucky. She's not a legend, but she's not bad. Cirie does everything Parvati does, but better.

[@KeitaroHirochi]

@@AA-dd3we I needed to see this forever. Micronesia is very overrated, especially when you're like me and you don't like the Black Widow Brigade. Most of the characters I found funny, likable, admirable, or any combination of those, get an untimely exit, and when the merge hits it becomes a "unga bunga all-girl alliance" which becomes very predictable. And predictably, the girl that was running the show gets the win. I wish Cirie had won that season, because as overrated as I think she is, she is still an incredibly cunning player, with a strategic pedigree I can have a lot of respect for. Parvati gets all the credit only because she's hot.

[@zeaferjones1404]

If you watch Micronesia carefully notice that Parvati takes Eliza out first and then talks about a woman's alliance. You can't just build them with anyone. Although I do think Eliza would have been a cool black widow if Parvati would have forgave her for agreeing with Penner about Parvati being a threat. Penner called it early though. On like episode 1 he said that Parvati scared him more than Ozzy which was a strange thing to say considering Parvati took 6th and Ozzy took 2nd on his season.

[@KeitaroHirochi]

@@zeaferjones1404 Penner was socially aware enough to know that in Survivor, the biggest threat is the one that you're the only one to see. Everyone knows Ozzy's a threat, but that's only really the case in challenges because he just wins all of them. Parvati, though? She flunked out in Cook Islands being so useless and just coasting along until her boot became inevitable because nobody could stop the Aitu 4. Which means she gets to fly under the radar, and Penner would know how easily that pretty little social butterfly gets herself numbers.

I'd personally argue that The Amazon should also be on this list, as the premerge felt like creepy level of horniness fest from the men, an unfortunate amount of misogyny, boring voteouts, and drama so nonexistent the producers literally hid a granola wrapper in the women's camp to ensue drama. Added with Rodger's unwelcome homophobia as well I just did not enjoy The Amazon's premerge, but I felt it really pick up steam almost the moment the tribes merged, with Rodger's hilarious blindside as well as Rob's masterful gameplay, almost every single character becoming more likeable, and fun blindsides all throughout it felt like the season got infinitely better at the merge for me.

[@seanberrodin801]

I'm with you, thankfully the horniness is almost completely removed from the game by the merge. I have a theory that a lot of that and the misogyny was coming from the producers to a degree. Some of the confessionals during the pre-merge about how hot some of the girls are or how good the guys are gonna do in the challenge I don't buy from the likes of Matthew, Rob, and Butch. Especially because they all make it very deep in the game and those types of confessionals mysteriously disappear. As a big old-school fan it's hard for me to deny how much the producers interfered in the game, but always in questionable ways like we'll let the Ted and Gandia situation slide but you better not vote out Rudy!

Sorry, but there’s nothing even potentially redeeming or worthy of sympathy about Rocky. He was an obnoxious bully and almost made me stop watching after literally two episodes.

Survivor Fiji has to be one of the most satisfying seasons. The cast was unlikeable, but because of that I enjoyed their downfall. Seeing Earl and Yau run the table was amazing and Earl’s win was even better

Ok it’s time you make the survivor 43 recap and give yourself points based on if you read the contestant correctly

Basically I'm a badass 🤷‍♀️

11:31 I knew they were wrong

I thought Amazon would be on this list

[@ci_blanch5407]

Good video, but I would have probably had Amazon on the list instead of Micronesia. Micronesia's pre-merge is at least decent. But the gap in quality of Amazon's pre-merge and post-merge is similar to that of Fiji and Vanuatu.

Three amigos are likeable?!! Maybe when you are 14 years old schoolgirl....

[@thecamishere4344]

I agree about Brandon not being in the right head space. Not Shamar. Hard pass on that

[@franciswalsh5469]

Yo what’s up with the communist interpretation of the twist in Fiji 😂
