Whether you're a host, player or admirer of each season I rate, I would advise you not to take offence to any of my ratings, there is a lot of criticism, so please instead of taking it as a slap in the face, take it on the bottom of the chin!

Here we go:


 * 1) Revival - Simply the best. Everyone was hyped about it before, during and after the season. The season was intensely unpredictable, almost every vote was not unanimous! So many twists and turns... Scrubber turn. <3
 * 2) Egypt - Hugely underrated. Great cast (except fucking Chris), and highly entertaining, mainly because of the power switches. Watching Isis get beaten up by Anubis in the pre-merge, to then see Isis bravely fight back, only to be squashed yet again was a spectacle.
 * 3) Cote d'Ivoire - I found it interesting to follow! But it's a "good but not great". It had very interesting character development, in supplement to the other on-goings like how everything unfolded, etc. Brilliant season!
 * 4) All-Stars - Very underrated because 'people upset good people went early', guess what? EVERYONE IN THE SEASON IS GOOD! Furthermore, the season was one no-one will forget in a hurry, it had it all... The only thing stopping me from putting it higher was it being a little too heavily rich. Any person who was in it deserves mass respect for mentally surviving it...
 * 5) Nepal - Very very very overrated. It's a good season, but I'm afraid that I do not see the "greatness" many others saw. With 2-3 inactives at the start, and a lot of unanimous votes... it took a while for it to pick up, but once it did, it did!
 * 6) Papua New Guinea - highly underrated season, it was far from great but was also far from crap... Despite having a repetitively boring pre-merge, the post-merge redeems it. And with the likes of Uli, Andrei, LP, Taylor, Abby and Jemarc, it brings a lot of spruce to the season.
 * 7) Polynesia - I gotta say this was a cool season but there were a lot of patches of blandness in it. Oh there be the inactives, the Pangonging, the mother of satan... It wasn't a bad season by all means, but it deserves no higher than an average rating.
 * 8) Hawaii - The first "real" season had potential to be much higher... but Chris, Sam, along with a few inactives had to ruin it...
 * 9) Korea - I would be putting this a lot higher had this season not taken literally a whole season to wrap-up... a season should take no longer than 2 months to be completed, anything longer than that makes it tasteless. Mr Rosal tried to make Korea much like the real show, with votes, private Tribal Councils being changed... but he forgot one main part of the game, the fact that the game is 39 days, not double that...
 * 10) Anarchy - Oh Anarchy... I honestly loved the contestants coming from the season, the cast, except for Corey was perfect. There were just a few errors which ruined the season for me. Mainly because the season started less than a week after All-Stars... Seriously? With all due respect, the starting date of the season caused it to live in All-Stars' shadow. And don't get me started on Noah's boot.
 * 11) Cuba - Give the season a break, haha!! But honestly, what killed the season wasn't my renegade of sheep or whatever... it was the hosting! The host cast uncommitted players, told contestants when to play idols, bullied contestants, made an unnecessary switch at F14, made silly rules; and instead of promoting the season, it was demoted by the season constantly being called a disaster by the host, which lead to the stereotype of "Cuba being terrible". And may I add, up until Adam's unjust boot, everything was very interesting!
 * 12) Switzerland - Oh I really feel sorry for this season, because it was truly a sorry sight... All the quitters, inactives and cheaters almost outnumbered those poor contestants who just wanted to play Survivor. Despite the rise and fall of Skandi, and a grand-stand finish, it's sorrily not one to remember!
 * 13) Laos - Not even a season of ORG Survivor. To sum things up, the best challenge in the whole season was a fucking random number guessing challenge, which was very very very very sad.

If you liked the seasons I bashed, sorry to taint your spirits! But hey, it's my opinion :) I'm not stopping you from having your own...
