Some things to note:
1. These are my rankings. Mike's rankings will obviously be different.
2. Just like you, I am human so my opinions/rankings on seasons change all the time but for now, this is what I'm feeling.
3. There will be some twist names thrown out in these rankings. If you’re wondering how the twists worked, feel free to check out the season overviews on the wiki to get an idea of the twist. https://mns-survivor-series.fandom.com/wiki/M%26N%27s_Survivor_Series_Wikia
Okay, let’s continue with the rankings!
18. Ghost Island (S25): To the cast of Ghost Island, I’M SORRY. I was busy in real life so I really don’t know what happened in the game nor do I know how crazy things were. All I know is that Mike enjoyed this season a lot. Both pre-merge and merge seemed to be hectic so I tried to rank this season as high as I could with the limited knowledge I have.
17. Monte Carlo (S27): We originally were gonna use Las Vegas for the location but, Monte Carlo sounded so much cooler haha. The cast was determined through randomization which was a really fun and fresh idea to which Mike should be credited for. Sadly, similar to Ghost Island, I was not part of this season for the pre-merge portion so no clue what happened there. The merge however was pretty fun. We saw Casino Coins in action which was our version of Fire Tokens and I’d say they added a good level of gameplay and led to some amazing moments such as Jordan getting voted out by ONE vote at F8. There were some great personalities but Natasha getting medically evacuated for the SECOND time in the series really had me upset and for that reason, Monte Carlo is ranked a bit lower than one would expect.
16. Maldives - All Winners (S30): All Winners baby! Look it may be recency bias but, I’m happy with putting All Winners at 16. Merge from start to finish was amazing and the cast really delivered. I mean the Matt (GiGi10) blindside? C'mon son, blindsides don’t get better than that. Maybe people dislike the season more than I did but for me, it had the drama and the competitiveness you would want to see in an All Winners type of season. Unfortunately, the Ryan situation really fucks over Maldives ranking wise. For example, until F16, I’d say Maldives was looking like a top 5 season. Once people outside of the game started to harass players, things just got a bit too ugly. Overall, it was a blessing to get 20 former winners to play and it felt like a nice end to the series.
15. Hong Kong (S3): I keep going back and forth on my ranking of Hong Kong but, for now I’m comfortable with putting it at 15. The pre-merge was alright but some key moments included Sydney (Guigi) saving herself with an idol and poor James (jamessmith5) getting swap fucked. Merge was really fantastic as you had two sides going against each other and we even saw a Kass-like flip where Brian (justdontevictme) flipped on his alliance to save Christian (Christian_) and Sydney. Overall it was a very fun season and for our very third season, we couldn’t have been happier.
14. Brazil (S19): This may come to a surprise to some people but Brazil was such a fun season to host. On one end you have the duo of Stef (lemons) and Brady (CoachWade) who successfully ran the game and then on the other end you have a Mike Holloway type of story in Ethan (Ethan000). There were idol plays, clutch immunity wins, and some epic blindsides (poor Brady really got backstabbed by Stef at F4). For a season right before Heroes vs Villains, Brazil really delivered and met my expectations. Also a special shoutout to Drew (Tester) who played the game (and made F3) even though he was in such a different timezone!
13. Ethiopia (S15): Ethiopia has a special place in my heart as it was the first season I hosted all on my own. From top to bottom, this cast was awesome. Actually that’s a lie, I really can’t remember what Alf, Jayden, or Zach did. But in general, this was probably one of our most competitive seasons (especially for all newbies) and it got really intense near the end. Ethiopia was also the first season for many big players in the series such as James (J2999), Tashi (tashi), Josh (sergeant), and the list goes on. Besides the competitive gameplay, it just felt like the game never got too ugly. Everyone was very active but treated the game like a game and were generally pleasant to host. Hopefully this ranking explains why so many players have returned from Ethiopia haha.
And that’s it for part 3!
