All in the title.

So far I have seen Australian outback, Africa, Amazon, Pearl Islands, All-Stars and Hero's vs Villians

Currently on season 22 and I cant believe that in episode one
Philip sold Christa and Francesca out like that, Rob was sure happy that happened, he has these dumb asses under his thumb already its pathetic. I know he wins, but you would think at least the tribe would have a brain cell to vote him out after his performance in all-stars.

    It was certainly an eventful tribal council, but not so good to lose an actual character so soon.

    If anyone's interested I'm watching Pearl Islands (my fave season) for the 3rd time. :D

    Pearl Islands was okay
    I am Glad Sandra won, buy she knows how to work the jury. Lil was a pathetic runner up, and Jon pissed me off, the lie about his grandmother :sleep:

    Very likeable people included Rupert who has a heart of gold he is so nice, and I liked him All-Stars (which I just finished)

    If I had to rank them so far I would say

    All - Stars (I loved how bitter the Jury was)
    Amazon (Just a great season as the power always changed)
    Pearl Islands
    Hero's Vs Villians (Will be interesting to watch Pavarati, Ive heard good things about her in her season)
    Australia
    Africa

    Certainly opt for Fans vs Favourites (aka Micronesia) to get your Parvati fix.
    Don't expect too much of her in Cook Islands or else you'll be disappointed.

    Anyway I don't want to spoil anything so *zips mouth* :o

    Amazon is awesome.

    Rupert? Really? :eek:
    Cook Islands.

    CI is a very underated season. I remember when it came out it was considered one of the worst, seems to be slowly growing on people over time though :).

    Yes I liked Rupert he seems like a nice person

    On season 22
    They might as well give Rob the money now, their all too scared to go aganist him. I like Andrea as shes very beautiful lol and Phillip is just so random I hope he sticks around as well for entertainment value, the others can go because their just pretty faces that add no value to the game. On the other side I am sad Kristina (who just got kicked off) and Steph are being picked off, maybe I find them attractive I don't know, but they are underdogs and I hope something drastic happens. The other six are stupid and pretty soon they will have to turn on one another, which I can not wait for as I would be happy to see them all go one by one. I know Rob wins but I thought he would at least have a challenge, but I am only on episode 5, so it might turn into amazon and the power might chance per episode

    :D My reaction too. I can hardly bear to watch him when he turns up for Reunion shows, let alone the seasons he actually played.

    And sorry, I think S22 is the worst ever.
    If Boston Rob hadn't been on it I would have turned off and I've never done that with Survivor

    Actually I think it would have been better without Boston Rob. It just ruined it having someone there that everyone was so in awe of.

    I don't actually think they were all THAT dumb, just quite dumb. The editing I think removes any slight form of intelligence in anyone but Rob.
    It was just a season gifted to him.

    At the beginning of that season, I thought that this cast has a lot of potential. They didn't live up to their potential at all which saddened me.:( But I wonder if things would have been different without Rob.

    For definite the way things played out would have been completely different, and the edit would have been more even because that season it was horrendous.

    It was strange, the cast seemed to have all the essential ingredients at the start, but it's like they all had their common sense chips removed and couldn't think for themselves properly. :confused:

    If the editors wanted to make Rob look good then they should have made everyone look good. Instead it just comes across like a p*ss poor season that anyone could win.

    I liked Rupert too. He was a fitting castaway for the pirate theme of Pearl Islands lol
    And he was in an alliance with two of my faves - Sandra and Christa. :)

    I wasn't a fan of CI when I watched it either but I think the reason it was so unpopular was because it was the season that drastically changed the format of the show, e.g. with 20 contestants, final 3 etc., and let's face it, it's shit - but at least now we've come to expect and tolerate it. I still think the show should go back to its 16 contestants and final 2 setup.

    Season 22 is the most dire piece of television I have ever suffered through. And such a disappointment after Nicaragua...funnily I missed Nicaragua on its originally airing, so I watched whilst RI was on the air, loved it so much I HAD to follow it up with the first half of Redemption Island, and was even more dismayed at its rubbishness.

    With respect to Rupert, I've never been a fan, in PI he showed himself to be a bit of an arse when he went off at Shawn (?) for 'daring to vote' for him.

    I think I'll watch All-Stars (for the first time!) when my exams are over...last summer I started filling in the gaps in my Survivor back catalogue and I've now watched all the pre-ASS seasons, although some of them I don't remember too well. Is ASS any good? :D

    Of the recent seasons I'd recommend Nicaragua, Gabon, FvF and China. (21, 17. 16, 15) :)

    I hated All-Stars. So many horrible egos, predictable gameplay. It has the most disgusting, bitter jury I've ever seen in one of these shows. It says it all about a season when the only person you like gets booed and walks off during the reunion show.

    The girls have confirmed in interviews afterwards that they knew a lot more than editing let on.

    Yep that's my main reason for not liking him. He didn't seem that bad before that but the way he screamed at JFP for daring to vote for him and put him hands around his neck was disgusting. So arrogant. There's a reason why about 98% of survivors that know him take the piss out of him.

    Its great how everyone has their favourite seasons, something for everyone :). Nicaragua and Gabon are by far my least favourite seasons since like pre All Stars,

    Didn't her closest ally Christie get the blame for that and get voted out the next episode because of it?

    Yeah, but Sandra was still loyal to her and did not vote for her out I think.
