ShiiAnn vs Sook Jai should be on there. She received votes from her tribemates at every TC until she was finally booted. She was "ostracized" according to some, and didn't get along with anyone sans Jake and Ken, the only people that she needed to get in good with in order to survive SJ so long. Fake merge is where the rivalry climaxed.
Shii Ann vs Robb and co vs Sook Jai would actually be better because Shii originally fit in with them, and she only got votes from Steph, Jed, and Robb.
That rivalry hit off right off the bat when Sook Jai bashed Jed, Steph, and Robb for being lazy while Shii was fighting with Robb about camp life. Sook Jai
couldn't deal with Jed and Steph not doing anything, so that they were even willing to throw the challenge to get rid of one of the strongest challenge
competitors ever. Then, they still outcasted Steph by making her paint the entire dumby herself. Robb was pissed off at Ken because they had a deal to watch
out for each other, yet they voted against each other every round eventually leading to their blow out with each other. Shii was still fighting with Robb over
stupid shit like eating their bananas, but others were getting involved like Ken. (which was right before the blowout). Eventually Robb came to his senses, but
it wasn't before he and Shii's relationship escalated especially with his voting confessional of, "Sorry girl, you get on my nerves and I
don't like being around you. Nothing personal." At that point where Robb had left, everyone (except Ken) was starting to gang up on Shii Ann as Shii
Ann and Ken bashed the hell out of Penny. The rivalvy ended after the fake merge where Shii had been screwed over by a twist with even Ken mad that she was
starting to turn on them.
That's just a little bit why it should've been ranked (especially over things like Parvati and Eliza, Danni vs Jamie/Judd).
Same thing goes for Clay vs Helen (Ted never hated him that much until the racism thing)
Clay vs Helen started in episode two where Clay was complaining with Ghandia about Helen being too bossy, while Helen complained about Clay being lazy and
someone who looks down on women. (Ghandia and Tanya voted for Helen that round). Next episode, Grindgate happened, and Helen and Clay were on opposing sides
since it was guys vs girls, yet the girl's target was still Clay over Ted because Helen thought he was sexist. Episode 4, Helen was scared of the purple
rock (or her alliance with Brian was greater than Ghandia, but I think it was the first), so she joined Clay and the guys to vote off Ghandia. From then on,
they kept bashing each other, all the way to the final 5 where Helen and Ted tried to get rid of Clay. Clay obviously stayed "backstabbed" Helen (I
use that term lightly cause they never liked each other), then we saw Helen go off on both Clay and Helen where Clay gives the greatest response to any jury
question by basically telling her to fuck off since he's not getting her vote anyways. (This is the only rivalry where I liked both sides, besides Varner
vs Mike which I also don't know why it's there, but it definitely deserves to be on a top 20 list.)
And I know you didn't list Ted vs Ghandia/Bobby Jon vs Jamie/Varner and Mike/Tom vs Sue, but all of them would probably make mine.
Ted and Ghandia had the biggest fued in Survivor history by far. If you're counting it out since it only lasted 2 episodes, that's crazy since Parv and
Eliza was only two episodes. There is no need to explain what happened because if you've seen it, you'd know why it should be on any fueds list.
Varner vs Mike was 100% one sided with just Jeff making fun of Mike and his spear, so I guess I understand why it didn't make the cut. It's still much
better than a few that were listed.
For why Bobby Jon vs Jamie should've been on the list, read http://www.averdata.net/~locbaseb/funny/36.htm.
And for Sue vs Tom (which I can understand being left off) http://www.averdata.net/~locbaseb/funny/84.htm
