1. Australia: The show that gave us Jerri Manthey. Amazing - maybe jaded cus it was only season 2, but everything was great. W: Tina - 1st woman, and she's older, so thats kinda cool. Not too exciting.
2. Amazon: 1st Guys vs. Girls, Rob C rocked - unpredictable season W: Jenna - would have much rather had Rob C, but better than Matt.
3. Marquesas: Great characters, our first big take out of a power alliance W: Vecepia - Neleh blew it for herself when she said she didn't play until day 24. They both sucked.
4. Borneo: The original, but the standards have been raised in terms of challenges, quality of filming, characters and gameplay W: Richard - original strategist, but basical shot at a barrel of fish.
5. Africa: I rank this much higher than most - Some great characters, the 1st swap, cool challenges, had Brandon not been an idiot a much better season. Kelly <3 W: Ethan - alpha male had to win at somepoint. Glad it was him - he's a good guy.
6. Gabon: Underdogs rule! Unpredictable. Could have been much better without the Fang tribe being so terrible. W: ?
7. Micronesia: Fans vs Favorites. W: Parvati - I just didn't like her. I don't know why. I don't see her as an Favorite. So many better players. It was Amanda's to lose, and she did. Twice.
8. China: Good season, not great. I wish some of the early boots had stuck around - Denise & Courtney bugged me - But it was entertaining. W: Todd - Strategic, so that's good. A little paranoid. Had Amanda done better speech, she would have won and that would have been cool. I like subtle game players.
9. Pearl Islands: I rate this lower than most. Good season, but I don't know. Doesn't rank for me. W: Sandra - 1st use of the "aslong as it ain't me" approach. She played it well.
10. All Stars: The Rob and Amber show - which I hated. Why was Amber even there? Not enough Jerri - Lex made a bad call. Could have been brilliant with Brian H or Helen, Kelly G or Theresa, Neleh or John, if Jenna didn't quit.... and it was just...ok. W: Amber - horrible. Rob was just as bad, but atleast played.

...

11. Thailand: I enjoyed this season. I think the old vs. young thing helped. Some good moments, and a great winnter. Winner: Brian - just as good as Rich, only he was playing 5 seasons in when people knew how to play.
12. Guatemala: From here on down my list, its just kinda blah. Again, I thought great characters got booted early - Blake, Amy, Brooke, Marg. Overal ok, but just kinda flat. W: Danni -I think had more game than we thought or saw. Would have much rather a Rafe/Danni or even Rafe/Steph finals.
13. Palau: Had great potential, but just fell flat. W: Tom - better than Katie, but still, boring. I could have called it day 1.
14. Vanuatu: Meh. Loved Ami & Leann, but the 2nd time of guys vs. girls just bored me. And I didn't like the 5 older men voting together. Would have loved to see Brook, John K, John P, Brady etc. Just a blah season for me. W: Chris - had Ami and Leanne not felt bad, he'd been out. Damn emotions.
15. Panama: Cirie Saves this season - was really the only reason to watch. The 4 age groups thing lasted for 1 episode. Boring. Boring winner. All the ones I was rooting for - Sally, Nick, Misty, Austin etc. were booted earlier on or not really shown much. W: Aras - eh. He was fine. Just kind of boring. Not a huge strategist, or atleast we didnt see it.
16. Cook Islands: Concept was cool - a good controversial way to do it - I think the characters just we ok. I loved the come back of Sundra, Yul, Ozzie and Becky - that was cool, but not enough. W: Yul - predictable, but decent. He definately had work to do.
17. Fiji: This season is just a blur. Nothign really stands out - except for Yau Man...how sad is that. W: Earl - ummm, ok.
