1. Survivor 40 Winners at War: I did not think a season could top the first but this one did. The quality of game play, the alliance development and then voting those people out at the right time was great TV. Tony played pretty much a flawless game. I would love to see another winners season. Seeing how much this game means to the players too was incredible. Amazing season. Favorite Players: Tony, Sophie, Denise, Jeremey, Ben, Tyson, Yul
2. Survivor 1 Borneo: This is the best season because it is the first. Before people started coming up with elaborate strategies, eliminating threats, hidden immunity idols. It was a perfect season. Some of my favorite characters on the season are Rudy, Sue, Richard Hatch, Gervase.
3. Survivor 37 David vs Goliath: The seasons in the 30s struggled. This season saved it. This was an incredible season from tribe depth. I just wish Gabby would stop crying. How does she get through life? There was so much good game play this season. So much back and forth, good advantage moves. Love this season so much. I watched it in just a few days. I could not stop. Favorite players: Nick, Mike, Alison, Davie, Christian, Alec, John
4. Survivor 10 Palau: I loved the physical domination of this season. Seeing a group just utterly decimate the other tribe, it was amazing. And then the most physically dominating player to be older compared to some of the physically fit players? Love it. Tom Westman was perfect. I don't know how anyone can dislike him. Favorite players: Tom, Stephenie, Coby, Bobby John, Angie
5. Survivor 7: Pearl Islands: The season that gave us Rupert. Just a beast. Guy was truly a survivor. Plus we have Johnny Fairplay and then a really well played game by Sandra. I don't really like her but she played well. This was a really great season despite the boy scout master going to the end. Take that part out and this season could have been the best. Favorite Players: Rupert, Johnny Fairplay, Savage
6. Survivor 28 Cagayan: Tony was a savage on this season. All over the place, finding idols, convincing people of just absurd things. Guy was incredible. Plus I thought the tribe split was interesting, didn't love it, but it was interesting. I also really liked the Spencer. He is another player I love and it near the top of my list. He was smart and physical. If it was not for Tony I think he could have ran that season. Also, this season had maybe my two favorite female players ever in Jefra and Tasha. Top Players: Tony, Spencer, Woo, Tasha, Jefra, Jeremiah, LJ
7. Survivor 25 Phillipines: What an exciting season with some great story lines. I loved seeing Malcom and Denise overcome a lot and keep surviving. I also like the three returning players that had prior injuries. The season was exciting throughout for me and did not have any down points. I also really liked Skupin (sad to see that he was actually a terrible person) Favorite players: Malcom, Denise, Skupin, Penner, Carter, Jeff Kent, Angie
8. Survivor 19 Samoa: Russell. Enough said. Played a nearly perfect game, just had a jury that didn't want to see him win because he was simply better than them. People on here complain about the edit but I loved it. Russell is a fighter. It is a shame he did not win this season. I also really enjoyed the Tribe Leader aspect and thought it was just an overall entertaining season. Favorite Players: Russell, Monica, Mick, Russell Swan, Liz
9. Survivor 2 Australian Outback: An early season played without some of the crazy twists you see later on. I loved how much of a beast Michael was before he was evacuated and him catching the pig! True Survivor. Most of the people that made the merge were great! Favorite Players: Colby, Tina, Keith, Elizabeth, Rodger, Michael.
10. Survivor 18 Tocantins: This season had such big personalities and the good guy won! I really enjoyed Coach's craziness, Tyson's dick personality and the tight alliance that JT and Stephen had. The two of them really played the game well together. I would have like to see the secret alliance with Brendan work but still a really good season. I also wish Jerry had not become sick. I thought he could have gone far. Favorite players: JT, Tyson, Stephen, Taj, Brendan, Coach, Jerry.
11. Survivor 20 Heroes vs Villains- I really enjoyed the returning players in this season as compared to some other seasons with returning players. I really enjoy Russell and his ability to just run most of the game. It was also interesting to see the effect of time on some players (Colby & Tom) and how the castaways just did not trust certain people based on previous seasons. Some people I had previously liked, I didn't this season: James. I think the only thing keeping this from being higher is some of the egos and the players knowing each other too well. Favorite Season players: Russell, Colby, Rupert
12. Survivor 26 Caramoan: This season ranks high for me for pretty much one reason: Cochran. I love him. One of my all time favorite players. So I was happy to see him win. But there were some really cringey moment and terrible people that keep this from being higher. I also really enjoyed the three guys teaming up and knocking out the leader of Stealth-R-Us. He makes me question how we allow people to have any sort of government clearance. Regardless, what a well played season by Cochran. Favorite Players: Cochran, Erik, Malcolm, Reynold, Brenda, Matt
13. Survivor 31 Cambodia: I thought this was a really strong season. Though it was interesting some of the people that got voted back in. I was surprised by (Wentworth, Varner and Kimmy). Though I think Wentworth and Kimmy played surprising better games than I thought. Overall, I thought the Jeremy story was great. I would have loved to see Spencer get some votes and I think his game is severely underrated that season by the other players. Favorite Players: Spencer, Jeremy, Tasha, Keith, Savage
14. Survivor 3 Africa: An early season that I think was really entertaining. The tribe swap early that ruined the young alliance was exciting. Teresa outlasting all the much younger people in the arm hold endurance challenge was a great moment. Ethan was easy to root for winning as well. Favorite players: Ethan, Teresa, Tom, Lex, Frank.
15. Survivor 6 The Amazon: The men vs woman original split worked really well here and then the contestants went away from those gender alliances and that made it even better. Rob was a mastermind but could not pull it out. This also gave us the memorable moment of the girls getting naked for food. I also really liked Matthew. I wish he had won. If he had, I probably would have rated this higher. Favorite players: Rob, Matthew, Heidi
16. Survivor 17 Gabon: I really liked Gabon. I thought it seemed like someone was going to win and then things flipped. Sugar was all over the place and I loved it. I thought Bob was a great winner and played a very good game. I liked the domination of the one tribe and then their collapse with the swap. I originally thought I would like Kenny but by the end I thought he sucked. Corinne was annoying and I didn't like Randy. Ace and Dan I would have liked to see make the merge. Favorite Players: Bob, Sugar, Matty, Dan, Ace
17. Survivor 21 Nicaragua: I at times like this season a lot. Other times hated it. NaOnka was one of the worst humans ever. Regardless of the edit, the things she did were awful. I thought Fabio was great. I really enjoyed his semi-under the radaalways a threat style, dumb kid attitude. Then he turns it on physically. Loved him. Chase Rice is an idiot and I thought Sash was an asshole. Then you have Shannon, yikes. The two girls quitting and the trash people on this season kept it from being higher but I enjoyed the game play from a lot of people. Favorite players: Fabio, Holly, Marty, Jimmy T
18. Survivor 15 China: This was an interesting season. At times I loved it (James throwing people off the platform), others I found it insufferable (anything with Courtney). Todd schemed his way to the finals and did a great job of it. I was not a huge fan of the tribe swap in this season though and I think that's why I don't have it higher. Favorite players: Todd, James, Aaron, Erik, Frosti
19. Survivor 30 Worlds Apart: This season again was saved by the winner. So many terrible people, but thank god for Mike. Guy dominated despite always being on the outs. The stereotypes that were played up here were hilarious too. Another decent but not great season. Favorite players: Mike, Carolyn, Kelly
20. Survivor 29 San Juan Del Sur: The only reason I think I liked this season where I did was because I sort of know Jon Misch (he went to my high school, graduated 4 year before me so I only knew him from summer working out in the gym). Many of the players annoyed me, their family emotions were too involved for them at times. I just was not a huge fan of Missy, Natalie and Baylor. They were annoying and entitled in my opinion. Favorite Players: Jon, Keith, Reed, Josh,
21. Survivor 12 Panama: The initial age and gender division was interesting. I wish they would have kept it going longer. The tight alliance of Casaya was good to see as well. Then we have Terry physically dominating the game. Loved that. Cirie's rise and growth during the game was really cool to watch. You could see how she was learning the strategy as she went along. Shows how much luck there is to getting through that first couple votes for her. I just wish Aras had not won. Didn't like the guy at all. Favorite Players: Shane, Cirie, Terry, Bruce, Austin.
22. Survivor 13 Cook Islands: This was an interesting season. The racial division could have been great if they kept it going. However, the PC police ended that. Ozzie and Yul dominated the game from different perspectives. You could see Yul using the management consulting textbook strategies through his decisions. I would have liked to see Nate go further and Penner. The three young white tribe members were so annoying near the end. Favorite players: Yul, Ozzy, Penner, Cao Boi, Nate, Sundra.
23. Survivor Edge of Extinction: I am torn on this season. I either love the twist or hate it. I really am not sure. Regardless, it made for some good tv, provided more character development and made for a really solid season. I thought Chris played his return perfectly. I don't think Gavin deserved any votes at the end. Something about him bothered me the whole time. If Wardog was good at challenges, I think I would have loved him. Favorite players: Chris, Devens, Victoria, David.
24. Survivor 27 Blood vs Water: This season is an interesting concept but it was just annoying. A lot of the family members sucked at the game. There were very few of them that I enjoyed. It was a pretty clear winner from early on. Season was set up for a Tyson win. I didn't hate it though but didn't love it. Favorite Players: Tyson, Caleb, Gervase, Hayden
25. Survivor 8 All Stars: I think this season is overrated by most. It was ok, but how could no one see that Rob was controlling this? These were All-Stars? I thought it was a poorly played game especially by Lex and Jenna. Dumb moves. Jenna should have known she had no chance without Rupert making it. Favorite players: Rupert, Colby, Shii Ann, Kathy
26. Season 36 Ghost Island: The concept of this I felt was so forced. It seemed over the top a lot of the time. I did think the strong cast kept it interesting though. I liked the Dom vs Chris conflict. Chris is great TV. I liked how Dom and Wendell though really controlled the game. Either could have won. Favorite players: Wendell, Dom, Chris, Donathan, Desiree
27. Survivor 35 Heroes vs Healers vs Hustlers: I am not sure where they come up with some of these original tribal splits for the show. A strange grouping but it ended up being a pretty good season. I liked a lot how Ben was in control, then was on the bottom and had to fight his way to stay on. I thought he took the game into his own hands and won. Plus he had a great story. I thought Ryan played a better season than the final jury vote let on too. Some really dumb players too (JP and Lauren) Favorite Players: Ben, Chrissy, Ryan, Devon,.
28. Survivor 5 Thailand: I don't think this season was as bad as some say. I actually like Brian. He controlled the game well physically and strategically. The young tribe was pretty terrible but I loved when Clay got choked. But still it was slow at times so I get why people don't like it as much. Just I didn't hate it as much as most. Favorite Players: Brian, Penny
29. Survivor 9 Vanuatu: This season started off terrible. The old guys were so dumb and eliminated the tribes biggest strengths (physical strength) and almost were completely eliminated if it was not for Chris. The guy was very good post merge and controlled the game. The women were just so much smarter than every man this season, but Chris. Favorite players: Chris, Twila, Eliza, Julie, Brady
30. Survivor 23 South Pacific: Too much god for me here. Brandon Hantz needs therapy. Lots of it. Ozzy becomes more insufferable more seasons he is on and I use to like him. I still enjoy Coach but his followers were weird. Cochran was the saving grace of the season for me and the only reason it is not lower. Sophie played a good game I thought though. Just not a great season from an enjoyment standpoint. Favorite Players: Coach, Cochran, Dawn.
31. Survivor 11 Guatemala: This season was not bad. But it was not good. It was just average. It was a decent idea to bring back Bobby Jon and Stephenie but the rest of the cast struggled to be interesting. I do like that the immunity necklace was introduced and could only be used before votes were cast. I think that is how it should be, but that would prevent a lot of twists in seasons that came after. Favorite Players: Stephenie, Rafe, Gary, Brandon
32. Survivor 14: Fiji Earl played a great game. He just didn't have much too him from a personality standpoint. I do think he is the type of player that could win multiple times if he played again. Yau-Man was such a quirky dude and helped keep the season going. The four horseman alliance was done in by maybe one of the most idiotic overall performances in Dreamz. Overall there were some characters here that were hard to watch (Lisi, Rocky). Favorite Players: Yau-Man, Mookie.
33. Survivor 33: Millennials vs Gen X: Could they have picked a bigger group of the worst a generation has for millennials? They hit all the bad stereotypes. I like the concept but man were the millennials tough to watch as one myself. I really don't understand why Adam won in the end. It felt like he was running with his head cut off the whole time. I did not see the strong game play others did. I actually thought he had the worst case of the three going into the final tribal. Favorite players: Ken, Hannah, David, Brett, Chris
34. Survivor 34 Game Changers: What a bizarre group of people to call game changers. Felt like a cast of second tier players. It had its moments and I thought Sarah really developed from her first game, but a lot of the better players from previous seasons were just voted out right away because the others were scared. Like why is Zeke considered this great strategic player? He is terrible at the game. I don't understand how Varner got to be on a third time. Or Hali again? Just weird casting. Favorite Players: Malcolm, Andrea, Troyzan, Tai, Brad, Sarah
35. Survivor 32 Kaoh Rong: This season was hard to watch at times. The verbal abuse Alecia received was tough and I am usually a person that believes people should toughen up but man were Jason and Scott just pieces of garbage. The really good characters saved the season though. In the end, the jury voted for against people in my opinion than for someone which is not my favorite part of the game. One of the strongest female casts we have seen though. Favorite Players: Tai, Aubry, Cydney, Debbie
36. Survivor 4 Marquesas: This season had some good characters which is surprising for how boring it was. The winner was just under the radar the whole time and I had wished she had gone home much earlier. Sean sucked and complained the whole time. I hate the rock pull too. Favorite Players: Paschal, Kathy, Hunter
37. Survivor 24 One World: Some more terrible humans on this season, plus the dumbest moves by the men. Complete idiots. The women played them well but should never have been there. The men giving up immunity was hard to watch and you just knew they were done. I did enjoy a few of the characters on the show though and hope to see them again. Favorite players: Troyzan, Sabrina, Jonas
38. Survivor 16 Micronesia: This season made me angry the whole time. The fans were star struck. They eliminated all the physical threats and Jeff fell in love with the term blindside. I know a lot of people like this season but I did not at all. I use to like Cirie in her first season but not here. The best players were eliminated for being threats by weaker players. There were just more weak players together. Favorite Players: Yau-Man, Joel, Penner, Eliza, Ozzy, Erik, Jason,
39. Survivor 22 Redemption Island: I thought I could not hate a season more than Micronesia but I was wrong. A complete setup season. Idiots on the one tribe throwing the challenge and and complete followers on the other. Just terrible. This season was just a Let's get Rob a win. My favorite player was Stephanie but she made the wrong numbers alliance with Russell. I think if she was able to get to the merge she could have done something. Also, the whole bible thing was too much for me. Favorite Players: Grant, Ralph, Stephanie
40. Survivor 39 Island of the Idols: They should have renamed this season Island of the Social Justice Warriors. Almost ruined the entire show for me how much this was forced down throats. It was a hard season to watch. The god worship of Rob and Sandra didn't help. Rob I think is such an overrated player in Survivor history. Just not a good season. Favorite Players: Dean, Tommy, Lauren

1. Marquesas- Overall, a very dull cast. Only a few stand outs. While there's some to appreciate, such as Vecepia's underrated game, Sean's funny personality and Rotu Four being overthrown, the cast and plotline overall were just dull. Least engaging season to me among the first 20.
   
2. Thailand- Some ugly moments such as Ted and Ghandia, and Clay being choked. The cast itself, while more interesting than Marquesas, wasn't good as a whole. There are some interesting moments such as Robb (at times), Brian's game, the fake merge, Shi Ann, and the older and underdog Chuay Gahn tribe prevailing over the younger Sook Jai tribe. Despite some of the good moments which were better than Marquesas, the ugly moments and cast leave this season at 19.
   
3. Gabon- This was a season of characters. Definitely different compared to most of the seasons in the first 20. However, there were only a few characters enjoyed. This season had its ups and downs. The worst part was the last 1/4th, which was just boring. We had one of the most boring final 5's and 4's, and arguably the worst final 3. However, since there were no ugly moments aired, I'll leave this at 18.
   

1. Palau- I actually liked this season. Watching Ulong decimate was entertaining. Steph and Bobby John were great underdogs. It is ranked at 16 because it was pretty much a lopsided domination. There was nothing to get in the way of Tom's control. Wish there was at the very least a switch to shake things up. While this was good, there was really a missed opportunity to shake things up.
   
2. Guatemala- Probably the toughest location ever. This is one of the seasons that show how real Survivor is. A lot of fun characters. A lot of enjoyable moments such as the very first challenge, Bobby John vs Jamie, introduction to idols, and Danni eating up the last 1/4th of the game. I just think the other 14 ahead of this were more engaging.
   
3. Vanuatu- Second Women's vs Men's season. Fun characters in paranoid Eliza, Twila, Ami, and Chris etc. Fun moments in paranoid Eliza, Twila, all women's alliance, and Chris managing to win against 6 women. The most fun moments were Chris managing to win while going up against 6 women. I also loved the location. Good season, but I find the 13 ahead of this to be more entertaining.
   
4. Fiji- Definitely a better season than people give credit for. Good characters in Earl, Yau, Dreamz, Mookie, Michelle, Stacy, Rocky, and Boo. Top tier winner and game in Earl. However, there were bad moments such as Haves vs haves not (One of the worst and most unfair twists), the truck deal and very angry jury. These bad moments leave this at 13.
   
5. Australian Outback- Good characters in Colby, Jerri, Tina, Roger, Keith, and Alicia. Fun moments in finger wagging, Skupin falling into the fire, Jerri vs Keith, and just Jerri. Skupin falling into the fire and Jerri's arc are top tier moments. However, this season is just no where near comparable to the first season. While this was good, the first season completely outshines this. Also, the other seasons are more entertaining.
   

1. Cook Islands- One of the most diverse casts ever, which is a big reason I rank it here. Future legends and returning players in Yul, Parv, Candice, Ozzy and Penner. This season produced 4 legends, which is great. Very fun moments in Yul's. Penner being the best narrator, and Aitu Four overcoming the disadvantage. However, it's down at 10 mainly because the tribes were divided by race. They could have done a much better job with this. Did not like that they divided tribes based on race. Other reasons are the super idol, and alleged rigging for the Aitu.
   
2. Samoa- Russell heavy season. Russell was golden television and one of the biggest Game Changers ever. He really changed he game in strategy and idols. He is massive in the evolution of strategy. Most of the greatest moments involve Russell. Another top tier moment that wasn't just Russell, was Foa Foa Four overcoming the disadvantage was very entertaining. However, I can't rank this higher because the season was centered around 1 player.
   
3. Amazon- Biggest reason is because of Rob. He really influenced the game with his flip flopping strategy. One of the early game changers. His confessionals were just hilarious. Other than Rob, you had, Deena, Heidi, Christy, and crazy Matt. Crazy Matt was hilarious. Very fun season, but think the other 7 were more entertaining.
   
4. Africa- The best and my favorite location. One of the toughest locations as well. We really got to explore Africa. One of the most focused locations. Great characters in Lex, Big Tom, Ethan, Clarence, T-Bird, and Kelly. Fun moments in Clarence and the beans, Big Tom, and paranoid Lex etc. Very fun season, but the other 6 to me were just better.
   
5. Toc- Very good mix of characters and strategy. Great characters in Coach, Tyson, JT, Fishbach, Sierra, Debbie and Taj. Great moments in Coach and Tyson, Coach's Amazon story, Timbira imploding post merge, an JT and Fishbach running the post merge. Coach and Tyson 1.0 are top tier characters. Great moments, but not enough to be top 5.
   
6. China- Very fun cast. Fun characters in Todd, Amanda, Courtney, James and Jean Robert. So many funs moments, such as Todd's entertaining game, Courtney's hilarious confessionals and lines, Creepy and villainous Jean Robert was hilarious, James hilarious lines, and James going home with 2 idols. A lot of good character and game moments. However, the top 4 just had more top tier and iconic moments.
   
7. Micronesia- Great cast overall. The returnees were great. Among the newbies, standouts were Nat B, Jason and Erik. The season is top tier becuase of Black Widow. They killed the second half. It was so fun watching them destroy the guys. The best moment that season and possibly all time was Cirie conning Erik into giving up his necklace. I loved watching Cirie play. Cirie played the best non winning game ever. Nat B is just so underrated. Nat B was robbed of airtime and second chance. Amazing season overall, but the top 3 had better moments in my eyes.
   
8. Borneo- The first ever season. Nobody knew what they were getting themselves into. The players, production, and Jeff were all clueless. However, they all proved to be amazing. Everything was so unique. The editing, character moments and strategy were all so unique. Great characters in Hatch, Rudy, Sue, Sean, Colleen and Greg etc. Mot notable top tier moments are Gretchen's blindside, and the alliance started by Hatch. Top 3 worthy for being the most unique season ever. However, the top 2 just have better moments.
   
9. Heroes Vs Villains- Greatest cat ever, which is almost perfect. Starting off with a physical challenge is the second best start to a season. Second best premiere ever. Second best theme in Heroes Vs villains. A lot of fun moments, such as the opening, the cast and theme, Rob vs Russell, JT's and Tyson's blindsides and Cirie blindside etc. The tribals where Tyson and JT went are some of the best tribals in the first 20 seasons. So many top tier moments. All this makes this top 2 worthy. However, I feel the #1 edges it out in character moments, strategy, and big moments.
   
10. Pearl Islands- The season starting without the players knowledge was just phenomenal. It gets even better when they have to jump off the boat (ship wrecked) and going to a village to get supplies. The greatest start to a season and premiere. The pirate theme is the greatest theme ever. Great and top tier characters in Rupert, Fairplay and Sandra. Good characters in Burton, Lilian, Osten, and Darrah. Top tier moments, such as the season starting without the players knowledge, the players being ship wrecked at the start, "I can get loud", who the hell voted for me", Fairplay's entertaining personality and game, and the dead grandma lie etc. The Dead Grandma lie is arguably the greatest lie and one of the best moments ever. As much as I dislike the outcast twits, the season still proved to be phenomenal with it around. Perfect mix of strategy, character, and shocking and crazy moments. All this makes Pearl Islands the greatest and my personal favorite season ever.
    

• Wooly Rhino: Same size as a white rhino, but much hairier, the wooly rhino is a classic animal, with a very similar behavior to its living relatives.
• Elasmotherium/Siberian Unicorn: A huge (same size as a mammoth) rhino species, he was also wooly as his cousin described above, but bigger, and with a huge single horn and heavier head, that was always pointed below, making him a grazer only.
• Wooly Mammoth: The Classic Extinct Animal, it doesn't need any introductions. A must have.
• Borophagus/Bone Crushing Dog: The heaviest and biggests canids to ever live, these good boys were massive, with heavy-set skulls making them a bit similar to modern molossian dogs, but much, much bigger. Very interesting animals that reigned as North America Apex predators for millions of years.
• Megaloceros/Irish Elk: These animals are simply majestic and one of my favorites of all. Biggest deer species to live (not biggest cervid), these moose sized deers did have the biggest ever recorded antlers who are just gorgeous. ZT EX using their cousins instead of them was a big disappointment for younger me.
• Giganthopitecus: Almost certainly the biggest apes to ever live, these cousins of the modern orangutans (this image makes them very similar) were simply huge and apparently highly specialized bamboo eaters. Probably the most interesting ape for me of all times. Mighty Joe vibes. Size comparison. They were almost always quadrupedal, like gorillas and rarely bipedal.
• Smilodon/Sabre-Tooth Cat: If the Wooly Mammoth is the symbol of extinct megafauna, this is the second close, and certainly the most famous of all extinct predators. Fascinating animals and another must have. There are multiple species of course, but fatalis is the most famous due to the magnificence of his canines and his size.
• Megatherium/Giant Ground Sloth: a pick up sized and weight mammal, one of the biggest to ever live. Despite its weight and huge claws, it was in fact a very picky eater, with a tiny mouth (smallest muzzle of all ground sloths) who eat only very specific types of fruits and plants. I'd love to see these big softies carrying around their infants like modern sloths do and as depicted in the second image.
• Glyptodons: The fusion of an armadillo and a ankylosaur, complete with the clubbed tail for some species. Car-sized and weight mammalian tank, this relative of the modern armadillo is one of the weirdest and coolest extinct animals.
• Chalicotherium: The Weirdest Mammal, imo. It's a huge gorilla-horse, that's the best way I can describe it. It's like straight out of Avatar (the cartoon). 2,5m tall and 4m long, it was a bipedial ungulate with arms that were long and heavily clawed, allowing them to walk on their knuckles only.
• Enteledont/Hell Pig: They sure as hell earned their name. Pig-like very old mammals, these were vicious predators that resembles a massive warthrog but with all the adaptations to be an apex predator. Here's a size comparison between them, a cave bear (biggest bear ever) and a human being. A similar animal would be the Daedon, slightly smaller but very similar.
• Gorilla Lemur: A gorilla-sized lemur, and with very similar habits and form, hence the name. A more obscure entry that I really like.
• Dwarf Elephants/Mastodons: Island Dwarfism and Gigantism are fascinating proccesses to me, and these are my favorites of them all. The entire Mediterranean as well Asian islands were full of these before humans came to them, and I picked these in specific because they're a favorite, and my other favorites (Dwarf Hippos and Giant Otters) already had similar animals in game. There's also the Giant Cretan Owl, that couldn't fly (or barely could). Here's the extinct Cretan fauna, including a dwarf deer, giant otter and the giant ow..
• Hoplitomeryx: A bunch of species of five horned, saber-teethed deer from Gargano, an island during the pre-history that is now a peninsula. The species ranged from tiny to white tailed deer size.
• Marsupial Lion/Thylacoleo: Lion (well a small lion) sized predatorial marsupials, who were Australia's top mammalian predator for a looong time. Those impressive teeth aren't just for show. Pound for pound, Thylacoleo carnifex had the strongest bite of any mammal species, living or extinct. Cute lion-sized Tasmanian Devils. I love it.
• Aurochs: The originator of all domesticated cows, this powerful and impressive animal was among the most moderns of all the animals in this list.
• Steller's Sea Cow: I love Sirenians. Manatees, Dugongs, they're adorable and just so interesting. And the Sea Cow is so unique, dwarfing all living Sirenians, with a weirdly elongated body with a tiny head. The Aquatic expansion gives me hope these animals might be implemented, if not then, than one of their living relatives (Dugongs for Asian Pack!). They were very pacific and slow animals, quickly extinguished first by the Native American populations that moved to the north, then whalers and seamen in their last refuge when they were found in the 1700s, a story similar to that of the Dodo.
• Bison latifrons/Long-Horned Bison: A huge, and I mean huge since it was twice as heavy as the modern bison on average, extinct bison with a massive pair of horns that make it such an interesting and primitive looking animal. Here mostly because I adore bisons and want more of them.
• Silvatheriums: These big moose-like relatives of the Okapi and Giraffes were a favorite of mine in ZT EX, and I'd love to seem them back. They were 3m tall and much heavier than any giraffe. Alternatively, for a huge terrestrial mammal we could just get Paraceratherium, the biggest ever mammal to live, and possibly as big as a terrestrial mammal could be. Called the Rhino-Giraffe, it certainly deserves that name with long limbs and neck but also a stout build and armor-like skin. It completely dwarfs any living mammal, here's a size comparison with a man and an African Elephant/SameerIndricotherium-56a2544f5f9b58b7d0c91bc0.jpg).

• Dodo: Le Meme Animal. These fatty pigeons-like turkey-like big beaked animals are a must have due to how iconic they are.
• Viti Levu Giant Pigeon: A dodo-sized terrestrial colorful pigeon from Fiji. Just gorgeous and my favorite of all the birds here.
• Elephant Bird: I'm putting the Elephant Bird just because its the biggest, but the Moa could be placed here as well, and it'd be a great addition with Haast's Eagle their main predator (who doesn't enter this list because PZ has no Aviary yet). These massive, powerfully built animals (size comparison with a human and an ostrich) are famous for their insanely huge eggs, which probably reached the limit of how big and thick an egg can be without it being impossible to break.
• Terror Birds: An entire family or raptor-like hunting terrestrial birds, relatives to the modern siriemas, they came in all size and shapes (the modern siriema is the A figure). Some of them killed their prey by kicking and pulling them to death with their powerful legs. Others had massive beaks and just them well. If you don't like them, you can use the similarly looking Gastornis, nicknamed Terror Duck due to the aforementioned similarity and being a relative of the modern duck. These huge birds were South America apex predators for millions of years, until the American continents became glued together (via Panama connection) and the Great American Biotic Interchange, probably one of the biggest mass migrations in history brought the North American predators, much better at their niches, who outcompeted these huge birds.

• Titanoboa: It's a movie-sized huge snake that certainly deserves its name. The size of a bus and weighting over a ton, it would snack up caimans like these crocodilians eat fish.
• Quinakana: An extinct Australian croc, that unlike almost all other crocodilians, had long and strong erect legs, built for running. Yep, it's a fast, running croc. The biggest species got to the size of the biggest saltwater crocodiles of today.
• Meiolania: A 2m long turtle, with a super cool appearance, including horns, a powerful tail that could be used as a club and maybe even serrated edges on their shells for even more protection. They were coastal species similar in niche to marine iguanas. Australian beaches were ruthless even back then.

1. Survivor 1 Borneo: This is the best season because it is the first. Before people started coming up with elaborate strategies, eliminating threats, hidden immunity idols. It was a perfect season. Some of my favorite characters on the season are Rudy, Sue, Richard Hatch, Gervase.
2. Survivor 10 Palau- I loved the physical domination of this season. Seeing a group just utterly decimate the other tribe, it was amazing. And then the most physically dominating player to be older compared to some of the physically fit players? Love it. Tom Westman was perfect. I don't know how anyone can dislike him. Favorite players: Tom, Stephenie, Coby, Bobby John, Angie
3. Survivor 7:Pearl Islands: The season that gave us Rupert. Just a beast. Guy was truly a survivor. Plus we have Johnny Fairplay and then a really well played game by Sandra. I don't really like her but she played well. This was a really great season despite the boy scout master going to the end. Take that part out and this season could have been the best. Favorite Players: Rupert, Johnny Fairplay, Savage
4. Survivor 28 Cagayan: Tony was a savage on this season. All over the place, finding idols, convincing people of just absurd things. Guy was incredible. Plus I thought the tribe split was interesting, didn't love it, but it was interesting. I also really liked the Spencer. He is another player I love and it near the top of my list. He was smart and physical. If it was not for Tony I think he could have ran that season. Also, this season had maybe my two favorite female players ever in Jefra and Tasha. Top Players: Tony, Spencer, Woo, Tasha, Jefra, Jeremiah, LJ
5. Survivor 25 Phillipines: What an exciting season with some great story lines. I loved seeing Malcom and Denise overcome a lot and keep surviving. I also like the three returning players that had prior injuries. The season was exciting throughout for me and did not have any down points. I also really liked Skupin (sad to see that he was actually a terrible person) Favorite players: Malcom, Denise, Skupin, Penner, Carter, Jeff Kent, Angie
6. Survivor 19 Samoa: Russell. Enough said. Played a nearly perfect game, just had a jury that didn't want to see him win because he was simply better than them. People on here complain about the edit but I loved it. Russell is a fighter. It is a shame he did not win this season. I also really enjoyed the Tribe Leader aspect and thought it was just an overall entertaining season. Favorite Players: Russell, Monica, Mick, Russell Swan, Liz
7. Survivor 2 Australian Outback: An early season played without some of the crazy twists you see later on. I loved how much of a beast Michael was before he was evacuated and him catching the pig! True Survivor. Most of the people that made the merge were great! Favorite Players: Colby, Tina, Keith, Elizabeth, Rodger, Michael.
8. Survivor 18 Tocantins: This season had such big personalities and the good guy won! I really enjoyed Coach's craziness, Tyson's dick personality and the tight alliance that JT and Stephen had. The two of them really played the game well together. I would have like to see the secret alliance with Brendan work but still a really good season. I also wish Jerry had not become sick. I thought he could have gone far. Favorite players: JT, Tyson, Stephen, Taj, Brendan, Coach, Jerry.
9. Survivor 20 Heroes vs Villains- I really enjoyed the returning players in this season as compared to some other seasons with returning players. I really enjoy Russell and his ability to just run most of the game. It was also interesting to see the effect of time on some players (Colby & Tom) and how the castaways just did not trust certain people based on previous seasons. Some people I had previously liked, I didn't this season: James. I think the only thing keeping this from being higher is some of the egos and the players knowing each other too well. Favorite Season players: Russell, Colby, Rupert
10. Survivor 26 Caramoan: This season ranks high for me for pretty much one reason: Cochran. I love him. One of my all time favorite players. So I was happy to see him win. But there were some really cringey moment and terrible people that keep this from being higher. I also really enjoyed the three guys teaming up and knocking out the leader of Stealth-R-Us. He makes me question how we allow people to have any sort of government clearance. Regardless, what a well played season by Cochran. Favorite Players: Cochran, Erik, Malcolm, Reynold, Brenda, Matt
11. Survivor 3 Africa: An early season that I think was really entertaining. The tribe swap early that ruined the young alliance was exciting. Teresa outlasting all the much younger people in the arm hold endurance challenge was a great moment. Ethan was easy to root for winning as well. Favorite players: Ethan, Teresa, Tom, Lex, Frank.
12. Survivor 6 The Amazon: The men vs woman original split worked really well here and then the contestants went away from those gender alliances and that made it even better. Rob was a mastermind but could not pull it out. This also gave us the memorable moment of the girls getting naked for food. I also really liked Matthew. I wish he had won. If he had, I probably would have rated this higher. Favorite players: Rob, Matthew, Heidi
13. Survivor 17 Gabon: I really liked Gabon. I thought it seemed like someone was going to win and then things flipped. Sugar was all over the place and I loved it. I thought Bob was a great winner and played a very good game. I liked the domination of the one tribe and then their collapse with the swap. I originally thought I would like Kenny but by the end I thought he sucked. Corinne was annoying and I didn't like Randy. Ace and Dan I would have liked to see make the merge. Favorite Players: Bob, Sugar, Matty, Dan, Ace
14. Survivor 21 Nicaragua: I at times like this season a lot. Other times hated it. NaOnka was one of the worst humans ever. Regardless of the edit, the things she did were awful. I thought Fabio was great. I really enjoyed his semi-under the radaalways a threat style, dumb kid attitude. Then he turns it on physically. Loved him. Chase Rice is an idiot and I thought Sash was an asshole. Then you have Shannon, yikes. The two girls quitting and the trash people on this season kept it from being higher but I enjoyed the game play from a lot of people. Favorite players: Fabio, Holly, Marty, Jimmy T
15. Survivor 15 China: This was an interesting season. At times I loved it (James throwing people off the platform), others I found it insufferable (anything with Courtney). Todd schemed his way to the finals and did a great job of it. I was not a huge fan of the tribe swap in this season though and I think that's why I don't have it higher. Favorite players: Todd, James, Aaron, Erik, Frosti
16. Survivor 30 Worlds Apart: This season again was saved by the winner. So many terrible people, but thank god for Mike. Guy dominated despite always being on the outs. The stereotypes that were played up here were hilarious too. Another decent but not great season. Favorite players: Mike, Carolyn, Kelly
17. Survivor 29 San Juan Del Sur: The only reason I think I liked this season where I did was because I sort of know Jon Misch (he went to my high school, graduated 4 year before me so I only knew him from summer working out in the gym). Many of the players annoyed me, their family emotions were too involved for them at times. I just was not a huge fan of Missy, Natalie and Baylor. They were annoying and entitled in my opinion. Favorite Players: Jon, Keith, Reed, Josh,
18. Survivor 12 Panama: The initial age and gender division was interesting. I wish they would have kept it going longer. The tight alliance of Casaya was good to see as well. Then we have Terry physically dominating the game. Loved that. Cirie's rise and growth during the game was really cool to watch. You could see how she was learning the strategy as she went along. Shows how much luck there is to getting through that first couple votes for her. I just wish Aras had not won. Didn't like the guy at all. Favorite Players: Shane, Cirie, Terry, Bruce, Austin.
19. Survivor 13 Cook Islands: This was an interesting season. The racial division could have been great if they kept it going. However, the PC police ended that. Ozzie and Yul dominated the game from different perspectives. You could see Yul using the management consulting textbook strategies through his decisions. I would have liked to see Nate go further and Penner. The three young white tribe members were so annoying near the end. Favorite players: Yul, Ozzy, Penner, Cao Boi, Nate, Sundra.
20. Survivor 27 Blood vs Water: This season is an interesting concept but it was just annoying. A lot of the family members sucked at the game. There were very few of them that I enjoyed. It was a pretty clear winner from early on. Season was set up for a Tyson win. I didn't hate it though but didn't love it. Favorite Players: Tyson, Caleb, Gervase, Hayden
21. Survivor 8 All Stars: I think this season is overrated by most. It was ok, but how could no one see that Rob was controlling this? These were All-Stars? I thought it was a poorly played game especially by Lex and Jenna. Dumb moves. Jenna should have known she had no chance without Rupert making it. Favorite players: Rupert, Colby, Shii Ann, Kathy
22. Survivor 5 Thailand: I don't think this season was as bad as some say. I actually like Brian. He controlled the game well physically and strategically. The young tribe was pretty terrible but I loved when Clay got choked. But still it was slow at times so I get why people don't like it as much. Just I didn't hate it as much as most. Favorite Players: Brian, Penny
23. Survivor 9 Vanuatu: This season started off terrible. The old guys were so dumb and eliminated the tribes biggest strengths (physical strength) and almost were completely eliminated if it was not for Chris. The guy was very good post merge and controlled the game. The women were just so much smarter than every man this season, but Chris. Favorite players: Chris, Twila, Eliza, Julie, Brady
24. Survivor 23 South Pacific: Too much god for me here. Brandon Hantz needs therapy. Lots of it. Ozzy becomes more insufferable more seasons he is on and I use to like him. I still enjoy Coach but his followers were weird. Cochran was the saving grace of the season for me and the only reason it is not lower. Sophie played a good game I thought though. Just not a great season from an enjoyment standpoint. Favorite Players: Coach, Cochran, Dawn.
25. Survivor 11 Guatemala: This season was not bad. But it was not good. It was just average. It was a decent idea to bring back Bobby Jon and Stephenie but the rest of the cast struggled to be interesting. I do like that the immunity necklace was introduced and could only be used before votes were cast. I think that is how it should be, but that would prevent a lot of twists in seasons that came after. Favorite Players: Stephenie, Rafe, Gary, Brandon
26. Survivor 14: Fiji Earl played a great game. He just didn't have much too him from a personality standpoint. I do think he is the type of player that could win multiple times if he played again. Yau-Man was such a quirky dude and helped keep the season going. The four horseman alliance was done in by maybe one of the most idiotic overall performances in Dreamz. Overall there were some characters here that were hard to watch (Lisi, Rocky). Favorite Players: Yau-Man, Mookie.
27. Survivor 4 Marquesas: This season had some good characters which is surprising for how boring it was. The winner was just under the radar the whole time and I had wished she had gone home much earlier. Sean sucked and complained the whole time. I hate the rock pull too. Favorite Players: Paschal, Kathy, Hunter
28. Survivor 24 One World: Some more terrible humans on this season, plus the dumbest moves by the men. Complete idiots. The women played them well but should never have been there. The men giving up immunity was hard to watch and you just knew they were done. I did enjoy a few of the characters on the show though and hope to see them again. Favorite players: Troyzan, Sabrina, Jonas
29. Survivor 16 Micronesia: This season made me angry the whole time. The fans were star struck. They eliminated all the physical threats and Jeff fell in love with the term blindside. I know a lot of people like this season but I did not at all. I use to like Cirie in her first season but not here. The best players were eliminated for being threats by weaker players. There were just more weak players together. Favorite Players: Yau-Man, Joel, Penner, Eliza, Ozzy, Erik, Jason,
30. Survivor 22 Redemption Island: I thought I could not hate a season more than Micronesia but I was wrong. A complete setup season. Idiots on the one tribe throwing the challenge and and complete followers on the other. Just terrible. This season was just a Let's get Rob a win. My favorite player was Stephanie but she made the wrong numbers alliance with Russell. I think if she was able to get to the merge she could have done something. Also, the whole bible thing was too much for me. Favorite Players: Grant, Ralph, Stephanie

1. We were one of the first seasons to have multiple, genuine, superfans on the show. We also didn't have a marooning. All the cast came riding in on the backs of three separate utility trucks, separated by "Collar" color.

1. Soon before our cast broke the auction, Dan Foley received an extra vote advantage tied in a wooden sleeve as reward for a winning rock. Dan and I were close, but I soon found out he was not going to tell me what he'd won. He said the rules stated he couldn't say... sneaky, sneaky. You liar.

1. All throughout our season, production was hinting that we were one of their favorite groups of newbies in history... that casting was ecstatic... the stories, players, gameplay were all there and they had a season! We all felt good, not only for ourselves but for the fans. It's one of the things that started to bond us early on as a cast, which still endures today.
