Here in Part 2, Brent and Al begin their countdown ranking of the Survivor seasons. These rankings are largely spoiler free, so if you haven’t seen these seasons, fear not! Hopefully, the discussion makes you want to go back and catch up on some old ones.
This is part 1 of the countdown, starting with the 37th best season (AKA, the worst) and extending through #18.
The whole gang gets together and takes a break from the awards that don’t matter to the ones that do. Does Monty Python and the Holy Grail make the Talk of Fame? What does this mean for the rest of the MP catalog? Is David a herring? Yes…yes he is.
