I'd pick Marqueses because John and Rob (The General) and two others I can't remember had a clear path to the final four and made a stupid mistake in an immunity challenge that made the last few weeks much more interesting.
I also enjoyed Amazon because it was so unpredictable, largely because of Rob C.!
This season is probably the most I have been looking forward to, but since we are only two episodes into it, I felt I couldn't vote for it.
Pearl Islands was awesome, but toward the end it was driving me crazy, having Lil STILL in the game. I didn't care for that twist (bringing back the outcasts). Especially LIL! Ugh. But I am so glad Sondra won it- she really helped her team on day 1 with knowing Spanish and getting SO MUCH STUFF to supply her team with. I did like that twist to the game- that they were given $$ to bargain with and pick their own supplies- it really showed the skills of the two teams (Rupert stealing the shoes---hee-hee!). And it made me happy to see the one team buy TP and toothbrushes----that would make life more bearable for me anyway!
I would have to say season 1 was my favorite since that's what started it all and it was so new and fresh at the time. I also really enjoyed Pearl Islands but I probably wouldn't say that if Lil had ended up in the top two. I didn't like her getting to come back at all either!
Gotta say Australia as well. I think Colby is just adoreable and I thought Tina was great. She made it the entire time without one vote against her if I'm not mistaken! The excitement when she won from Colby was so genuine.
And Rodger is still my most favorite Survivor EVA! When he jumped off that cliff into the water knowing he was poor swimmer, he won my heart. And the relationship he developed with Elisabeth was so special.
They had a good mix of interesting people in that series. Remember Michael Skupin catching the pig and putting blood on his face? And then he ended up being airlifted out due to injury from fire. Then we had Maddog Marilyn who I enjoyed watching until something happened (I forget what) and I got annoyed with her. We saw Alicia wagging that now infamous finger at I-can't-eat-meat Kimmi. And of course that series brought us the duo of Jerri and Colby (chocolate chip or oatmeal?). Jerri accusing Army officer Kel of having beef jerky causing his ejection (and the rumors of what Kel was really doing when he went off on his own). And Jeff V's comments about everyone. I was dissappointed he missed out on being on the jury (and if Michael had not been injured, things would have turned out a lot differently in that game).
I can't decide on a second. I only saw half of Borneo, so I can't really count that..... Perhaps Africa...... Perhaps Amazon due to the men versus women thing in the beginning.
.....Perhaps none. WHY do I watch this show anyway?
