Season 1 if you want to start from the beginning! Otherwise a season i'd recommend is season 17!

All good suggestions.  I may watch Season 1 eventually it's just I wanted to watch a good season first (that wasn't the first one).  I figured later formats of the show would have a more solid format than earlier seasons.

I started with 17 but if you can starting at the beginning would not be a bad choice.

Hm.  At the very least seeing even just one season will help me understand the mentality a bit better, I suppose.

I'd recommend S7, Pearl Islands. It was my first season and it's the season that's unanimously loved among all Survivor fans. It's also still my favourite season to this day.

I'd also highly recommend S17, Gabon. It's my second favourite season ever.

Also, I definitely wouldn't suggest watching S1 first. I think you need to watch an amazing season, like S7, first to really get hooked on the show and then go back and watch it.

Yeah that was partially my reasoning (and reasons for the blog) in general. The first season of any show is usually not the best one since the format isn't solid yet; that is, after a few seasons they know what kinds of contestants to recruit, what challenges to do, etc.

I'll probably try S7 then. Who knows.

GarretStryker Exactly. IMO, S1 is still an amazing season, but I HATED it the first time I watched it. I've watched it 3 times since then though, and I've loved it every time. You have to be really, really into the show before you can truly appreciate its greatness.

I was thinking of also someday doing a Survivor game on here or a forum (who knows). So it'd help to learn the format a bit better; though don't get me wrong, this blog is purely to see where I should start, whether I do the game or not.  I've just been curious for a while now.
