Survivor Season Ranking #26

Oct 18, 2013 by Yerg
#26- Redemption Island (22): This season was an obvious last, everything about why this season is so poor has already been said, but, the reason I put it dead last is because it has no redeeming factors.
There were a few likable people on Zapatera and there was Francesca, but the edit completely made them irrelevant, and Francesca was the first boot. There is no character development at all, something even Caramoan has a little bit of. This is the only season other than maybe Samoa, where the plot of the season is completely carried on two characters, Phillip and Rob, and they both suck in this season.
Phillip is obviously a try hard, from the start, and never once seems to be being real, as well as being completely irritating, and possibly racist, the only person with any sort of air time other than BR, and the biggest enforcer for Rob getting a huge edit. Rob is just a gambot in this season, and completely tarnishes his legacy in my eyes. Plus, how many times do we need to hear Jeff Probst praising him during and after the season? It's the only point where I believe the whole Jeff Probst sexism, bad host accusations are actually true. (Although of course he's a horrible producer overall)
Ometepe is completely boring other than two people, who are hatable, Zapatera is mildly likable, but for the most part uninspiring and boring, and RI serves as an excuse for dumb story lines that go no where for Matt other than him getting voted off again. (Which in perspective, be my least favorite vote off again) and even more of an airtime vacuum. This is the only season where legitimately everything was done poorly. The only possible good thing about it is Russell Hantz being voted off, but it just fueled his fans even more, to call Zapatera idiots and etc. (although really, they barely mention RI when they discuss him)

Season Ranking (no write ups for this):
18th: Phillip Sheppard
17th: Natalie Tenerelli
16th: Rob Mariano (You know a season sucks when the final three are your bottom three)
15th: Russel Hantz (You know a season sucks when Russell Hantz is on it and he's not in your bottom three)
14th: Matt Elrod
13th: David Murphy
12th: Krista Klumpp
11th: Sarita White
10th: Grant Mattos
9th: Kristina Kell
8th: Mike Chiesl
7th: Stephanie Valencia
6th: Ashely Underwood
5th: Andrea Boehlke
4th: Steve Wright
3rd: Ralph Kiser
2nd: Julie Wolfe
1st: Francesca Hogi (You know a season sucks when the first boot is the only really likable, non boring person)
None of these would be in my top 100

Amazing write-up. Totally agreed with almost everything you said.

yerg the worst thing about Redemption Island is that the Boston Rob fantards use it as an excuse to call him the best player ever. And Jeff thinks that it is a good season!! This shows that Jeff is a terrible gauge of what the audience thinks.

masterchef I wouldn't say it's the worst, but i hate people that say he's the best player ever and etc. And Probst doesn't help with that, he constantly praises him in interviews and makes it known that he regards him as like the ultimate Survivor strategist.
