@@ryssi8467 It wasn't a strategic season, but honestly all the contestants were such trainwrecks that it ends up being a hilarious season. And for the season idiot, Fabio, to win is just a cherry on top for a truely hilariously horrible season.

[@bobgray6498]

Neither Nicaragua or Gabon are bad seasons, entertainment-wise. I guess it depends on what you watch reality TV for. If you watch only for gameplay (gag), those seasons were all over the place, but if you watch for drama and mess (like me), they delivered in spades

How funny would it be to have Lindsey play with other villains? She would cry about how mean they are and then pull a move like Sandra eating all of the sugar💀

[@stevencook388]

I love how Kenny uses the Smeagol argument with Sugar. Telling her that Ace will ask for the idol is almost exactly what Sméagol says to Frodo about Sam asking for the ring.

[@codyhanson1344]

Yeah, Joel also came to my mind too as an underrated pre-merge player in general, but I wasn't quite sure if I would label him as a villain. After seeing the real entries on this list though, I could definitely see him having been included.

[@pacific_productions]

[@TheKYLEdavid]

@@pacific_productions Considering the nature of the video is basically a "Best 10", putting someone like Silas in there kinda just feels wrong to me, since it's kind of complimenting the person If it was something objective (like a voting confessional stat video or something), then yeah, put in whoever fits the objective definition

[@samthecoop]

Completely random thing I just thought of: After Heroes vs Villains was filmed, Russell could have thought that he was a two time winner and the greatest survivor player of all time because of the way that the filming worked. I haven’t seen this posted anywhere, but I thought it was interesting.

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

This is a pretty common take on Russell but good thinking if you never actually saw it before!

[@codyhanson1344]

He was convinced he won Samoa, though I'm not sure what he thought about his Heroes VS Villains odds.

[@siwap3809]

so he never actually went to the Samoa reunion before going on S20?

[@fishykid]

Hmm I wonder if this is a good idea for that "Heroes vs Villains 2" idea people keep having Hear me out, we have all returnees, all pre merge players, the season is called something like "Untapped Potential" or "Unfinished Business" where the tribes are split into Heroes vs Villains. The tribe names are filled with mediocre players, definitely not the players on Mount Rushmore, but that could add to the charm since CBS doesn't want to flop going ALL IN on a proper HvV cast. Why not go tame on the idea, and name the season something else, but split the tribes according to this theme? Could be a good idea considering I think they will never do a HvV season again.

So we chose the middle option, which we just get a decent sized rice bag" the explanation isnt perfect, but i was trying to focus more on editing what so said instead of making a new one

[@codyhanson1344]

@@IdoledOut Yeah, I watched Micronesia in preparation for Winner's At War since I haven't seen it yet, but I knew generally what went down. Joel was one of the few surprises of the season for me, as I've never heard a word about him and he was one of the more interesting players in the pre-merge. I wish he lasted at least an episode longer to see more of the Joel VS Ozzy dynamic that was taking place.

I would have put Silas over Lindsey. The way he went from trying to play the old and young people, to be extremely cocky and fake, was entertaining to watch. And then he was sent to the other tribe and had no power, where it was fun to watch him scratch and claw while Ethan easily sent him packing

[@barryishikawa2048]
