Determining which game of Survivor was the most exciting based on what happened each round. I started one of these for Big Brother, but Big Brother isn't nearly as good and honestly I'm not as familiar with every season of Big Brother as opposed to my virgin-like knowledge of Survivor.
Random.org has selected MARQUESAS and NICARAGUA.
FINAL 20 - Wendy Jo Boot - As much as I love Wendy Jo, someone getting voted out unanimously for being weak isn't very captivating. POINT: Marquesas (1-0)
FINAL 19 - Shannon Boot - Lines being drawn in the sand so early lead to a fiery tribal council where lots is left up in the air, and plans are confused. POINT: Nicaragua (1-1)
FINAL 18 - Jimmy J Boot - Again, someone getting voted out for sucking at challenges isn't fun to watch. POINT: Marquesas (2-1)
FINAL 17 - Jimmy T Boot - Poor Jimmy T just wanted to lead them in a challenge.... but this boot was still boring. POINT: Marquesas (3-1)
FINAL 16 - Tyrone Boot vs. Peter Boot - For Peter's boot, there was very little gameplay involved and people just kind of threw a vote, and it just so ended up that Peter got the majority of the votes. Tyrone being bossy and then getting sent out was better, I suppose? POINT: Nicaragua (3-2)
FINAL 15 - Kelly B Boot vs. Patricia Boot - Kelly B being blindsided was interesting, especially after Marty didn't play his idol. Patricia getting voted out by an early alliance is cool too, but it's not enough for this point. POINT: Nicaragua (3-3)
FINAL 14 - Yve Boot vs. Hunter Boot - Yve's boot was boring, but Hunter's vote out is still one of the great vote outs from the early seasons, Rob voting not to keep the tribe strong, but to keep people he felt he could control is an interesting strategy. POINT: Marquesas (4-3)
FINAL 13 - Jill Boot vs. Sarah Boot - Marty giving up his idol to Sash and getting Jill, who was his ally but didn't vote with him last round, voted out is an interesting move. Sarah was voted out because she was lazy. POINT: Nicaragua (4-4)
FINAL 12 - Alina Boot vs. Gabriel Boot - Alina getting voted out for just not being socially integrated as well is kind of a boring vote out. But, Gabriel getting picked off for not caring about the game is even more boring. POINT: Nicaragua (5-4)
FINAL 11 - Marty Boot vs. Gina Boot - Gina is voted out by Neleh, Paschal, and Kathy, 3 people who were originally on the same tribe. Marty has a plane to blindside Jane and flush NaOnka's idol, but it failed miserably as Brenda and Sash stuck with the Marty plan and he went out 7-4. I think Marty's boot was more entertaining. POINT: Nicaragua (6-4)
FINAL 10 - Brenda Boot vs. Boston Rob Boot - Brenda getting left out of the loop and blindsided is a fun boot. Boston Rob's boot is alright too, with Kathy winning a pretty clutch immunity, and Vecepia voting with Rotu to knock Rob out, but the point has to go to Nicaragua. POINT: Nicaragua (7-4)
FINAL 9 - NaOnka Boot vs. John Boot - NaOnka quit, enough said. POINT: Marquesas (7-5)
FINAL 8 - Purple Kelly Boot vs. Zoe Boot - Purple Kelly quit, enough said. POINT: Marquesas (7-6)
FINAL 7 - Benry Boot vs. Tammy Boot - Sash picking Chase/Holly/Jane over Fabio/Dan/Benry and blindsiding Benry, or Tammy getting Pagonged by the majority alliance. POINT: Nicaragua (8-6)
FINAL 6 - Jane Boot vs. The General Boot - Jane finding out that she'd be getting backstabbed after Fabio won immunity is super intense, and earns the point over Robert getting picked off by the bigger alliance. POINT: Nicaragua (9-6)
FINAL 5 - Dan Boot vs. Sean Boot - Dan getting picked off after Fabio wins immunity isn't as good as Kathy being the swing vote between the pairs of Neleh/Paschal and Sean/Vecepia. POINT: Marquesas (9-7)
FINAL 4 - Holly Boot vs. Paschal Boot - Holly was the obvious vote after Fabio won immunity. Meanwhile, Paschal drawing the purple rock is such an iconic moment in Survivor history. POINT: Marquesas (9-8)
FINAL 3 - Fabio Win vs. Kathy Boot - Fabio winning, although I love Fabio, isn't necessarily the final outcome that I was craziest about. I don't think it trumps Vecepia throwing the final immunity challenge, and Kathy getting voted out. POINT: Marquesas (9-9)
FINAL 2 - Vecepia Win - Once again, it all comes down to whether a winner is satisfying or not. While I know it may not be the most popular opinion, I think Vecepia played an awesome game. It would take me a while to go through it all, but she played the first great under the radar game. POINT: Marquesas (10-9)
And with that, Marquesas has won! Meaning Nicaragua is knocked out. Although I'll be honest, it was much, much closer than I thought it would be.
