My Top 5 Favorite Survivor Episodes

[@claymiller9707]

My personal favorite episode is the HvV premiere, from that helicopter intro to that iconic first challenge, the Jerri and Coach relationship, the Rob and Russel seesaw, Rob being the only competent Villain survival-wise, Coach climbing the tree, Sugar's disastrous flirting with Colby, it is just great!

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

My favorite episode(s) is Cook Islands when the aitu 4 had the best comeback story and bonded together. Nothing is more pleasing to me in survivor than seeing their faces when they continue to win.

[@j1r1]

the premier episode of pearl islands is one of my faves. The whole village scene was awesome. Billy falling in love with candace on cook islands is one of my faves also. And the season finale of australian survivor s1 (or 3 depends on who is counting) with Kristie emerging from an underdog to slay the competition

[@davidm9026]

You scared me when you said the finale of Australian survivor. At first, I read “the finale of the Australian outback” which is a terrible, boring episode that gets worse and worse as it goes on

[@j1r1]

I don't remember mutch about australian outback since it's been 18 years since I saw that season but I remember my favourite challange being the one where they jumped off the cliff.. They don't do stuff like that on survivor anymore

[@davidm9026]

[@blackwidowbrigade5042]

@Natalie agree with everything but it's def not underrated. Everyone knows how good that episode is Not to mention Parvati throwing the challenge to Danielle. Parvati Galaxy brained literally everyone not just the heroes.

[@johnfeather6476]

Personally, one of my favorite episodes is the one in Palau where Stephenie and Bobby-Jon are the last two members left in Ulong. Throughout the episode, those two are just giving into despair over constantly losing that it’s gotten to the point where Bobby-Jon is just destroying pieces of wood in frustration and is getting on Stephenie’s nerves by grossing her out with his snot-rockets that he keeps shooting right in the middle of where they sleep. Also, camp chores, such as pushing a boat into the ocean, are becoming much harder now that there’s only the two of them, which saps them of their energy and it’s clearly worn down on them physically and emotionally. Despite not giving up hope, they lose the immunity challenge to Koror anyways, leading to Survivor’s first ever fire-making challenge, where Stephenie comes out on top against the bigger fire-making expert Bobby-Jon. Now, Stephenie becomes a one-member tribe. A first in the entire series, and has never happened again ever since.

[@kaitlynwithoutthet2106]

As someone who's very biased towards Palau, I 1000% agree! There will probably never be another episode like that, ever.

[@Captain_Subpar]

I think you hit on an interesting point when you mentioned at the end that all of your favorite episodes weren't strategy heavy and focused more on fun/emotion. I'm a big fan of strategy as well. Most of my complaints about certain seasons have to do with a lack of strategy: either it not being shown or it straight up not happening. But fundamentally, I do think strategy is more of a skeletal framework than the core of what we need in Survivor. Strategy is only fun if it's happening among compelling personalities that we care about on a base level. Gamebots aren't fun. The few that are are so because they're playing with a very dynamic cast. Strategy, on its own, it bland. And that's what makes Survivor so great: it's the perfect mix of fun, emotional stuff and a strategic game. ...and I just said the word "strategy" and variations of that way too many times.

[@davidm9026]

I think it’s a mischaracterization to say the early seasons didn’t have strategy. Maybe Borneo wasn’t super strategic. By Australian Outback and Africa, people had a good grip of the game and were willing to be sneaky, lie to some extent and pave their way to the end. By Marquesas, we saw the first real “flip” where the people who entered the merge in the minority took control of the game and made it to the end. By Thailand, we saw someone not only plan out a path to the final 2, but intentionally bring along a “goat” with him so he could win the million dollar vote. By Amazon, we saw the “flip-flopper” where a player who clearly had no real allegiances and was willing to backstab anyone made it all the way to F3 and nearly won. The early seasons aren’t lacking in strategy at all. And they’re so much more full of life and emotion than the newer ones. Old survivor over new survivor any day (with the exception of Cagyan and Philippines)

[@ohemgee3005]

David M All older seasons are entertaining to watch for me. I am not the biggest fan of seasons like The Australian Outback, Thailand and The Amazon, but who can deny that they’re all so full of life? Each of the first seven seasons felt like a journey all the way through. By the time they hit All Stars and Vanuatu, it felt different. The people who were being cast were people who weren’t exactly in it for the experience. None of them were genuinely nice people. Africa in particular is an example of a cast of strong personalities, yet they are all genuine. The players we see now... they honestly scare me and I’ve been disinterested in survivor for the past few years.

[@davidm9026]

123eatanappletree Yea me too man. I agree with everything you said. Stopped watching after Game Changers. I didn’t watch 35-39 and only came back to Survivor because it was an all winners season. Will definitely re-watch Africa, Pearl Islands and China if I have the time during this quarantine.

[@mikegoldberg8939]

One of my favorite scenes from Bruce's medevac episode was aras and cirie talking about how Courtney has a crush on Shane and then the next scene is Shane threatening to kill her. Also I think Courtney said that Bruce's evacuation was the capper to a "pretty poo poo day"

Honestly I'm shocked that Episode 13 of Micronesia where Erik gives up Immunity didn't make the list. The entire editing is fantastic, the Tribal Council is amazing, and it goes down as one of the most iconic moments of all time.

[@torockchick]

The reason is because it's been the topic of many other Survivor videos of Peridiam's that it doesn't need to be brought up again. Plus it's not like it's happened before when someone had given up their immunity and then been voted out immediately afterward.

[@bigbuffguy9589]

That's a great episode. I don't even really like Micronesia, but that episode is a classic.
