Players were separated by ethnicity: African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and Caucasians.
The post-merge episodes, which I usually find to be a bit boring, were fun to watch, and the season only becomes more entertaining from there. This season probably has the best cast of new players, and they all contributed in creating one of the most enjoyable seasons of Survivor.

Players were separated into three tribes: Beauty, Brains, and Brawn. For your convenience, I have marked the seasons that include returning players and listed their seasons of origin. If you want to watch the seasons in the order of my rankings without spoiling prior seasons, I would highly recommend skipping those particular seasons for now. Villains, feature returning players (players who have competed in an earlier season). Note: Some seasons, such as season 20’s Heroes vs. The last eight seasons might be good to watch for historical purposes, but they will definitely not be as satisfying. Most seasons, I think, were pretty enjoyable to watch, so my first 32 rankings are all seasons that I would still recommend. It was a little difficult to rank all 40 Survivor seasons without spoiling anything, but I tried hard to be descriptive when explaining why I thought a season was good (or bad), while being vague enough to not give anything away.
