I thought this was one of the strongest seasons in a while, and
certainly included one of the strongest strategic players we've seen! My
ranking of the top 10 strategic players in the game:
1. Parvati (Cook Islands, All Stars & Heroes v. Villains)
2. Boston Rob (Marquesas, All Stars, Redemption)
3. Kim (One World)
4. Earl (Fiji)
5. Yul (Cook Islands)
6. Evil Russ (Samoa, Heroes v. Villains, Redemption)
7. Colton (One World)
8. Yau Man (Fiji & All Stars)
9. Amanda (China, Fans v. Favorites & Heroes v. Villains)
10. Rob C (Amazon & All Stars)
Some memorable moments from these players:
-
Parvati giving away 2 immunity idols to Sandra & Jerri in Heroes v.
Villains to protect her alliance & subsequent owning of the Heroes
- Kim's streak of 4 immunity wins in a row
- Earl's alliance taking out Edgardo in the best collateral damage blindside I've seen
- Yul's alliance repeatedly sending Candace to Exile Island
- Yau Man - the first person to create a fake immunity idol
- Rob C - convincing Matthew to throw the final immunity challenge on the basis that it would make him look better to the jury
- Colton convincing his tribe to go to Tribal Council for no reason

Thoughts on the Season:
Congratulations to Bag & Leah!! They had two really strong players, but in the end they only needed 1 to take this one. In a season filled with backstabs, medical evacuations, insanely stupid people, and really bizarre decisions, the one thing that remained constant throughout was Kim's complete dominance of the game. I'd love to see her in an All-Stars season where she'd really be tested by other great connivers.
Speaking of stupid people & top 10 lists, Kat is definitely making it onto the top 10 dumbest people in Survivor history list, along with Robb With Two Bs, Dreamz, and Erik (the guy who gave up his immunity necklace on his bday & then got voted out). This is a different list than the "top 10 dumbest moves" in Survivor history list, which I should actually write sometime.
Thoughts on Next Season:
I like that they are bringing back med-evacked people; I've been hoping for that for a while. I do NOT like that they are only bringing back 3 of them. Surely there have been enough med-evacs over 24 seasons to fill the whole cast, right? I'm getting tired of them bringing back just a handful of repeat castaways and a bunch of n00bs. All repeats or all n00bs is the way to go. That being said, I really hope that Colton & Michael from Season 2 (burned hands guy) are 2 of the 3 who come back.
I am pleased that they are finally leaving Samoa though! We need more variety!

woo woo so happy we won! My first time too!
Good battle this season and congrats to the winners. Enjoy it while it lasts because we will be winning the next one.
I am also glad they are switching up the location. About time.
I think Colton will definitely be back for this next season. Not sure about who else.
DoW for Chelsea for her terrible final tribal speech. "Hey Y'all, don't give me the Million, and if you were planning to vote for me please change that right away, thanks!!!"
Amazing that a Bag-associated team now has three wins under its belt. Lele was clearly the difference this season though. It's gotten rather competitive amongst the four of us in the all-time series.
