Yes, I love this show. In an entirely unironic way. It's often silly, exploitative, and cheesy, but I love it.

So, favorite seasons? Favorite moments? Favorite players?

As for players, Sandra Diaz-Twine, Rob Cesternino, Kathy Vavrick O'Brien, Yul Kwon, and Earl Cole are my amongst my favorites. I like people who play strategically and yet still have a sense of humility or friendliness. I despise Russell Hantz as both on screen and off he has shown himself to be a terrible player as well as an arrogant and entitled sociopathic misogynist who lied about his career and fortune whilst demonstrating a huge inability to understand the game properly.

Favorite moments? I love cool strategic gambits or people being funny without really trying. I like it when players are self-aware and aren't trying to act like they're too special and just be themselves. However, Yul's Immunity Idol play in Cook Islands is maybe my favorite moment, as it's simply a great example of strong player essentially winning the game for himself through well thought-out play.

As for seasons, I love China, Heroes vs. Villains, Marquesas, Pearl Islands, Cook Islands, Amazon, and Fiji of all things. I dislike Samoa and Redemption Island, and I find Micronesia to be a solid if overratted season.
