    The origins of Survivor, and by the numbers, the most popular the show has ever been. No individual episode has matched the viewership of the Borneofinale, nor the overall ratings for The Australian Outback. Many lists lump together the first eight seasons into a similar “golden age,” and it’s easy to understand why. Pretty much all seasons in this...

    As I said before, these seasons are similar to the first three in that the game overall was simpler. With the exception of All-Stars, it was always 16 players on two tribes, with a Pagonging usually at least discussed, if not carried out. There were no hidden immunity idols, or any other gameplay advantages to shake up the majority. The focus remai...

    For the first eight seasons, while various different twists were introduced, Survivor rarely bothered to shake up its core formula. This era was the one where they started really pushing the envelope, hence why I have dubbed it “The Era of Experimentation.” This is where the show started playing with things that had been the accepted norm previousl...

    The longest era on this list, two things really unite the seasons in this period. One, as the name might imply, is Exile Island. Except for Survivor: China, which had the kidnapping twist instead, every season in this era featured Exile Island, with different strategies about how to use it. Do you send the biggest challenge threat in the hopes of w...

    It may be seen as a crime by some that the only player to get an era of Survivor named after them is Russell Hantz, but when you look at his impact on these six seasons, as well as the trappings of the show since his introduction, the man has earned the right. Four out of these six seasons have someone surnamed Hantz on them, and the two that don’t...

    Strangely enough, this era has many of the hallmarks of the previous era. Returning contestants were still the norm—appearing on 3 out of 4 seasons—and still used as a marketing tool. What changed was the emphasis. Whether it was because of casting or how the new players were edited, a lot more focus was placed on the new players in this era. Sure,...

    The shortest era on this list, one might argue that I should have saved this name for the era with Ghost Islandin it. However, I am not referring to Laurel the player but rather the idea of resting on one’s laurels. At this point, this is really what Survivor was doing. They returned to the well of past successes, including more “versus” seasons an...

    Most people, especially those who complain about the “decline” of Survivor, tend to list Cambodiaas the start of the downward spiral. While I don’t agree that all seasons in the 30s can be lumped together, Cambodiais definitely the birth of the Big Moves era. Add to that, the idea of the “Survivor resume” originating in Millennials vs. Gen-Xand Sur...

    To me, what distinguishes this era of Survivor is just how much it emphasizes the necessity of idols and advantages to win the game. Some might see this as an extension of the “Big Moves” idea, and to a certain degree, it is. It doesn’t help that the influx of advantages began during the last era, from “Advantagegeddon” in Game Changersto Ghost Isl...
