10. Survivor England - Second Chances (S13)
--------------------------------------------------
Survivor England - Second Chances will arguably be one of the most impactful seasons in series history. I believe this is the only returnee season where a hidden immunity idol wasn't played and with such a heavy-hitting cast it was shocking. I can still recall the rock draw at the Final 10 where Christian (@Christian_) and Natasha ( Blondelle) had hidden immunity idols in their pocket but decided to go willingly to rocks (rip Christian). Brandon ( brandonrichie) and Qaz ( Qazwdxedc) ran a majority of the season (yet again) but not without a few bumps in the road. Overall, this is one of the few casts where I can safely say everyone that returned was very deserving of a second chance and had their own little story arc. In the end, it was Tico ( ticofernandez) who was the underdog in Palau turned villain who sweeps the jury votes against Dan (#TheDirtyBrock) and Shadi ( Chastain). The final three also consisted of one member from each original tribe so that was also cool along with Ivy ( _ivyyy_445) and Natasha (Blondelle) becoming co-fan favorites by the OG Viewer's Lounge.
9. Survivor Tuvalu - Heroes vs. Villains (S23)
------------------------------------------------------
I think every host should love a good HvV season. It allows players to really embrace their archetype without having to worry about the potential stereotypes that come with them as a player. When I read back on this season the word that will continually be brought back to mind is the word "Brovivor" after the alliance of Christian (@Christian_), Newz ( OldNewz), Scott ( byp123) really sort of dominated the game once the numbers wore down (and maybe I'm not recalling the game right). However, I do remember some of the key moments of the end game where Dylan ( DBWs) idoled out and split up the duo of Christian and Ivy with his allies. LeQuisha ( LusciousLips5) made a relatively big mistake not voting with Dylan and Jimbo ( sahmosean) against the "Brovivor" alliance to force rocks as they were a very apparent final three. In actuality, all the entertainers were knocked out early like Watermelondrea ( TheEclipse) and Ken ( konohavillage1) allowing the opposing alliance to prosper. I can't recall the premerge too well but I think if I were to do anything it would not be having four tribes and just allowing HvV to play out as normal because the cast was already stacked (waits for Newz to complain). Scott's speech also warmed the hearts of the viewer's and rip Jimbo putting up a good fight and was one challenge away from probably winning.
8. Survivor Laos (S43)

Survivor Laos is one of the few seasons where the game never stopped moving. From..
