Everyone doubted me, but I was one of the few that called it, and I'm so happy that I did.

FANTASTIC SEASON! My new favorite season, and I'm not even overreacting! I loved this season SO FREAKING MUCH! It's much better than Caramoan, Worlds Apart, Nicaragua, or any other season that I personally loved. I just really loved this entire cast, I loved the finale, I loved the editing, I love the personal stories and how they thankfully overshadowed most of the boring game-play, I love the challenges, and I freaking LOVE the winner! This season literally made me cry several times (mostly thanks to our fantastic champion), it kept me on the edge of my seat, we had a fake idol being played and a rock draw, we had shocking votes...it was just amazing from start to finish. This is, without a doubt, my new favorite season. What started as a gimmick season turned into a beautiful one!

Here are my rankings for this season, on how I felt about all 20 players after the season ended:

20. Taylor Lee Stocker (12th Place): Forgive me for not finding his idiocy funny. He's like a bad version of Fabio, which isn't a good thing, because what made Fabio awesome was that he was innocent and cute, not mean-spirited and retarded. Taylor is also a scumbag, since we learned about his pregnant ex-girlfriend back home, and on the show he just pissed me off SO much. All he did was laugh about nothing, refuse to actually play the game at all, and basically his brain was in his dick the entire time, if you catch my drift. Awful player and so beyond annoying.

19. Jessica "Figgy" Figueroa (15th Place): Ultimately, she wasn't as awful as Taylor in the end, but she was still bad. A Parvati wannabe who basically tried to act like a queen when nobody owed her anything, and the moment she stupidly insulted Zeke by gushing over Michelle and ignoring him was the icing on the cake. I just really hated her smug, self-righteous attitude, the fact that she actually allowed a stupid boy to ruin her game, and just how much she freaking pissed me off every time she was onscreen. Thankfully these two didn't play much into the end of the game.

18. Chris Hammons (11th Place): He reminded me too much of my evil uncle Doug, who's also a lawyer. I mean, he doesn't SEEM like a really bad guy, but that's just how I viewed him and I just did not enjoy his presence. Even when he was trying to have fun or be nice, he just made me uncomfortable. I really just did not like him at all, mostly from my own bad experiences with my uncle, but also because his game-play was just so mean.

17. Michelle Schubert (13th Place): She was so passive-aggressive and I just didn't like it. She had no reason to vote out Mari, but she did anyway. And then she acts self-righteous the rest of the way and does nothing at all to have any sort of personality. She really was just like Michele from Kaoh Rong, but thank God we didn't have a repeat winner. I get she's a Christian girl, and I love that, but I really wasn't getting that feel from her much. Plus, in her Ponderosa videos, she preaches it a tad too much.

16. Paul Wachter (18th Place): To be fair, he wasn't that bad of a guy. Just slightly annoying. Taylor was MASSIVELY annoying, but Paul at least seemed like a good guy and one that I legitimately felt sorry for when he left. I mean, he got dehydrated and was trying his hardest to be likable, but then got voted out when he felt really safe. I mean, I FEEL for the guy. But, in the end, I can't really rank him any higher than this.

15. Rachel Ako (20th Place): Another Survivor that leaves first who didn't REALLY do much wrong other than "they sucked at the challenge" and "they're annoying at camp". So, that's pretty much it. Rachel seemed like a fine lady, but we didn't have much to go on at all with her, sadly. I didn't mind her, though, and didn't really feel annoyed by her myself.

14. Sunday Burquest (7th Place): Again, another sweet old lady who I don't really have many negative things to say about. She is what she is. I didn't hate her, but I didn't love her, either. She was just there to be the typical mother figure of the game; we get one every season. This one was fine.

13. Will Wahl (8th Place): I really don't know why this guy never got more screen-time. Maybe because the Millennial tribe was just so good that they couldn't fit him in. I don't know. Either way, he was a lot of fun to listen to; maybe it's his odd deep voice for his young age. He was kinda a douche when he hit the merge, but ultimately I didn't mind him too much. Not the best, but a likable enough young guy.

12. Bret LaBelle (5th Place): I started off hating his guts, since he and Chris were both assholes. Then I began to just dismiss him and not care. Then I was touched with his moment with Zeke. Then I got angry when he insulted David at tribal council. Then, in his final few episodes, he turned out to be just alright. He seems like a likable guy at heart, and even if I didn't like some of his actions, I can appreciate that his heart was in the right place.

11. Lucy Huang (17th Place): Horrible edit, yet one that I honestly really appreciated. A few times in the first three episodes, Lucy is seen to have MAYBE a slight attitude problem. Then, in her elimination, she suddenly becomes a dictator and angers her entire tribe. I mean, it's just so funny! Plus, she did it in a way that I can't be angry with because I can see where she was coming from. She explained herself very well. If not for David's kind heart, she would've stayed and possibly gone far. So, even if she was pointless, I enjoyed her for what she brought.

10. Ciandre "CeCe" Taylor (16th Place): One of the earliest underdogs of the season that had to scrap and claw her way along, but ultimately just never had the numbers going for her. She seemed like a sweet woman with a good heart, and she had a smart head on her shoulders. Just had a bad draw with players that didn't trust her or want to work with her. A lovable underdog that won my heart and I was very sad to see her leave over Michelle.

9. Jessica Lewis (10th Place): One of the most tragic, painful moments in the entire show, I feel. I mean, we've had a few rock draws before, but none as stunning as this one. Jessica literally was the one sobbing about possibly going to rocks, and then it's HER CHOICE that sends them there, and ultimately karma strikes and she draws the odd rock. I mean, that's just brutal. Jessica herself was fine. I liked how loyal she was to Ken, even though I was confused why she seemed to trust him more than David (after David freaking SAVED HER), but I liked her. She was a nice woman.

8. Ken McNickle (3rd Place): A more toned-down version of Coach is what we have here, which isn't a terrible thing. Ken started off as a likable underdog, even though looking at him you wouldn't think so, and he had a fine story. The one episode with Will exploding on him basically explained why Ken wouldn't win, but I still appreciated him a lot and found him to be a really sweet man with a caring heart. He certainly meant no harm by his tactics, and I respected the hell out of him. I'm also thankful for him voting out David and sealing the win for Adam.

7. Hannah Shapiro (2nd Place): Probably a lot more insane version of Aubry from Kaoh Rong. Hannah symbolizes what a geeky girl is, and it was funny to see play out. I'm very glad she didn't win, because she easily did not deserve to, but knowing that she doesn't, I appreciate her a lot more than I would've had she won. Her random moments of her spazzing out and not knowing what to say. Her weird scene with Ken. Her moment with Zeke and Adam. Her retarded look when Zeke began grilling her. Her dumbass decision to vote out Sunday and Bret over Jay and David. She was just so completely clueless and it was hilarious. But, I still really loved her story of personal growth, too, and how she really came into her own by the end...even if she became slightly desperate and psychotic. Still a lovable girl.

6. Zeke Smith (9th Place): Overall, I really loved Zeke. His attitude, much like Jay's, kinda bugged me a lot, but seeing where he came from and knowing what a good guy he is at heart, I could forgive him for that. He had such a strong opening few episodes and I loved seeing him grow out there and become a power player, but then when he DID, he sadly started to target people I liked, so he left at the best time. He had lasted any longer, I fear I may not have liked him as much as I do. I just found him to be unique, funny, and very interesting. His moment with Bret, of course, was one of the best in the entire series.

5. Mari Takahashi (19th Place): One of the biggest robberies in the history of robberies. I mean, she would've been SUCH an amazing player to watch develop in the game. I mean, we got a lot of good stories going forward in the season, but Mari leaving was extremely disappointing. She was witty, funny, intelligent, insightful, cute, charming, and just really a breath of fresh air. Sure, her narrating about how a millennial typically acts may have been annoying, but I can easily look past that and appreciate her big time for how huge she was as a player. I mean, being voted out THAT early simply because she's a threat has to be one of the biggest compliments in the book. Plus, hey, I love gamers. What can I say?

4. Justin "Jay" Starrett (6th Place): I never imagined I'd have him this highly ranked by the end of the season, but wow did he really have a great few final episodes. From the pre-merge all the way to Jessica and Chris' double-elimination, I seriously couldn't stand him. He was just so cocky, rude, condescending, obnoxious, hateful, aggressive, and mean. But, his final 3 episodes were fantastic and basically were the perfect ending to his story. His moment with Adam was so touching and amazing, and pretty much ANY moment with Adam after Taylor left was pretty amazing. And of course his elimination in the finale was probably one of the most hilarious eliminations EVER! He got his comeuppance that he deserved, but his "love you" to Adam at final tribal brought me to tears. He's basically the jerk with a heart of gold trope, and now that the season is over, I can love and appreciate that. Jay, you're an asshole, but you're a nice asshole.

3. Michaela Bradshaw (14th Place): What a badass bitch Michaela turned out to be! But she didn't even have to be aggressive with her game-play (like stupid Cydney was). Michaela just had a freaking awesome personality and her heart was always in the right place. From scolding Hannah in challenges, to mocking other tribes to vote a certain way, to having an emotional moment of her own, to her epic (yet anger-inducing) elimination. Michaela is simply the definition of what I look for and want to see more of in female players. I'm extremely hard on females because they all tend to be so boring, generic, pushovers, or uninteresting. Or they're just models hired to be on the show and make men fawn over them for a few episodes before they're quickly eliminated. Michaela is just awesome. She's sassy, intelligent, amazing in challenges, likable, and just one badass bitch. Can't wait to see her next season!

2. David Wright (4th Place): The neurotic little guy that was pretty much the little engine that could. I think I can, I think I can! David was fantastic. This guy (hopefully) won all our hearts with his fantastic story and his game. He started on the bottom, yet worked his way to the top, and shockingly almost made the end despite everyone SCREAMING what a huge threat he was from pretty much the final 10 onward. If Michaela was the badass female of the season, David was the badass male of the season. I just cried at what David had to go through and the things he said, and just how genuine and sweet he was right down to the end. I love the guy to death, and in any other situation, he would easily be my #1 favorite. But, that spot is reserved for the most amazing winner ever.

1. Adam Klein (1st Place): The amount of screaming for joy I did. The amount of tears I shed. The amount of jubilation and happiness I felt when I saw Adam make the final 3 and then win in an unanimous vote...I can't describe it. Adam is, without a doubt, my favorite winner EVER. Look, when I watch Survivor, I watch it for the stories, not the stupid editing. I want to know about these people we're supposed to be rooting for, and why they're out there, and what their personalities are like. SCREW the stupid game-play! You can be the world's greatest chess player, but if you have no personality or you're an asshole, I'm not going to give a shit! Adam is fantastic. He worked his ass off to make the end, for his mother, and he did. But God was the one who helped him get there. You atheist creeps can laugh all you want, but I don't care one bit. God helped guide Adam to the end, he helped guide the jury to making the decision they did, and God kept his mother alive one final hour for him to return home and tell his mother he loved her and that he (likely) won. You can't write this stuff. Not even a movie could do it justice. This was just so fantastic, heart-wrenching, beautiful, and amazing in EVERY sense of the word. I loved Adam's personality, his random screaming in confessionals, how he found two idols (with his mother and God helping), his erratic game-play that annoyed people, his relationship with Jay, and his touching reunion show appearance. I really hope he can help contribute to finding a way to stopping cancer; every little bit helps. Oh, and to you assholes that are going to whine that he "used" his mother's illness to gain sympathy votes...no, he didn't. David was the last juror to go, and he basically asked them to talk about their experience on the show and how they grew. Adam didn't look like he was going to say anything, as indicated with his talk with Jay, but he broke down and spilled the beans. He HAD to let David and everybody know what he was fighting for and why this meant so much to him. Are you people seriously saying YOU wouldn't if you were Adam? Give me a break. Adam did everything beautifully. He is a genuine, amazing human being with a heart of gold and I'm BEYOND happy that he got his deserved win. Fantastic season, fantastic winner, and may God bless Adam and his mother rest in peace.
