Penner (7th) - Easily my favorite this season. NOW I understand why he's played 4 times. Not only is the guy a great gameplayer, but he is also genuinely a kind person (until pissed off and bitter like he was once he got on jury). But overall, a really fun character who I am glad I got to watch play really well.
Malcolm (4th) - Wow his first season is so good I wish he would've won or Penner :( Overall a great guy and gameplayer, now I know why he came back 2 times in the last 9 seasons already!!
(BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG GAP)
Denise (1st) - Only person to survive EVERY SINGLE TRIBAL. But as an individual and a gameplayer I didn't see anything really... extraordinary. She was honestly pretty average and got put in a final 3 that wasn't spectacular. She also had one of the most unnoticeable winner's edits.
Jeff (10th) - Regardless of him going after my favorite person in this game, I liked watching him and his edit. He was such a big target though so I'm not surprised he went early merge. He also made the mistake of going after Penner instead of the majority alliance when he had the chance.
Lisa (2nd/3rd) - I low-key thought she was winning once it got to the final 7 because her edit went through the ROOF. It was already there, but it just went crazy at that point. I saw her as an early boot pre-merge though. She was really nice and honest, but whenever she tried to make game moves they flopped.
RC (11th) - Ehh pretty neutral about her. She got kinda screwed by the stupidity of Jeff, who was obsessed with getting out Penner lmao, and his alliance. She also had to deal with Abi-Maria's bitchiness so I respect her for putting up with that shit.
Peter (9th) - Real potential in this one right here. I feel like I'd like him more his second time around because the people who he was grouped with were absolutely horrific. His little planting of the idol clue was HILARIOUS.
Carter (6th) - Absolutely irrelevant his entire time playing the game, I thought he'd be an early merge at best. I wanna say the guy got like 6 total confessionals all season? lmao it was not very much, might be because he's so monotone and boring.
Katie (12th) - She sucked sooooooooo bad at challenges but like Dawson, she was screwed by a med-evac that 100% put her in minority. Overall pretty neutral about her, but I wish she woulda made the merge tbh.
Russell (15th) - The dude loves the game so much but seems to suck at it lol. He was a hothead at times and sucked at explaining himself overall. He coulda just said he was a perfectionist instead of saying "I expect excellence for myself in everything," because that makes him sound like a dick.
Dana (14th) - Despite the fact that she was med-evac'd so early, I liked her for the most part. She wasn't a big part of the story line but I felt so bad for her once she got sick :( She also really added on that hero aspect to Penner's story line.
Artis (9th) - Pretty irrelevant like Carter honestly. I'm pretty neutral about him overall though. He is so low because his lack of screen time.
Abi-Mara (5th) - I know I'm going to get hate for this. I DO NOT LIKE BITCHY, RUDE, OBNOXIOUS. I DO NOT CARE IF IT IS GOOD TV. I would rather watch someone play the game well by their gameplay rather than skate by by being the most hated person there. SHE WAS SO HATED SHE COULDN'T EVEN BE A GOAT LOL. I just really don't like her at all. Absolute bully. I don't like how they set up her "underdog" story once she became alone at like final 7.
Dawson (13th) - Relatively irrelevant, didn't do anything and got into a girls alliance that was screwed by a med-evac.
Roxy (17th) - Jesus freak who started speaking in tongues for TV, not my forte.
Angie (16th) - I can't remember you soooooo
Zane (18th) - Quite possibly the dumbest Survivor player I've ever seen play the game. Also, I'm pretty sure he's one of the least educated as he is a high school dropout LOL.
Skupin (2nd/3rd) - Kinda an idiot overall, but I respect the fact that he made it to the end and TECHNICALLY has never been voted out of survivor in the two times he has played! WTF I JUST FOUND OUT THAT HE IS A PEDOPHILE
FEELINGS ON THE SEASON ITSELF:
The season was super mediocre and didn't have a very good cast. It set up for some great returnees in the future though like Malcolm and Abi-Maria I think. The winner was okay and deserved it because of her journey in the game, but I still think Malcolm was robbed. The final three was actual ass though even though most of them are high up on my list. I would've rathered have other people go, but its hard to rank people high if they left early.
Overall a decent season, but there were points in time where I got bored... pretty forgettable for the most part tbh.
Ranking - 7

you're able to separate ingame Skupin from real life Skupin? idk I try to for most people but theres just no way I can get past all that for me
amf7410 oop I put her name for Roxy's opinion so I mixed the two up lol.
dumbginger idk I disagree, I didn't really like the cast much. Also how did I separate it? I just went off of them in the game not their real life personalities.
