Sarah voted out in Cagayan is my number one
Parvati and her two idols to take out JT
Russell gives Parvati his idol and Tyson votes himself out
Jessica draws the rock in millenials vs gen x
Malcolm leaves game changers after a tribal of whispering (the to talk made that so much fun )

Others that I thought of after those 5;

Ozzy blindside in micronesia
Natalie gives her idol to Jaclyn to idol out Baylor
Debbie leaves Kaoh Rong because of idol paranoia
Phillip Idoled in fvf

man im having a hard time remembering the sarah tribal
it remember it was so satisfying seeing her voted out
would made it so great tho?
is that the one where trish convinced kass to flip?

Iconic, would def be in my top 3 idol plays. So fucking badass

Tony and Lj played idols on eachother so confident that it would do the trick thinking they needed them. But doing so caused the other alliance to switch their vote when it was clear Tony had an idol. So they play the idols.Then the Jefra vote comes and they're all crushed and the other alliance is smug. Jefra is crying and then BAM Kass randomly flips. They all applaud. The fact Sarah was unbearable as hell all episode made it so beautiful

It was amazing. I love TC's that things have BUILT towards. That's why I don't rank last nights' super highly, it's missing that element almost completely. My favorites are the culmination of storylines playing out

There was a ton to love from the Sarah boot but the best was that she was acting like a brat who thought she was the queen of the merge but left it first. And then everyone having a round of applause when the final parchment was flipped. People getting out of their chairs to whisper was a heightened version of the whispering we've seen a lot lately but everyone clapping was a first in its own way

Chris D knifing Eliza and shrugging and waving her off is a personal favorite

I wanna do one of these for Big Brother

kelly sharbaugh blindside
kimmi leaving in 2nd chances
sarah blindside
tyson vote hvv

Randy playing the fake idol and Crystal yelling while voting was also classic

I was also going to say Jessica drawing the rock in Millennials vs. Gen X only for the way it went down. It sucked for her and her alliance, but it depends on how you want to define 'top 5' or 'best' tribal councils.

This isn't top five but I LOVED Tai denying Scot the super idol. And I know it meant Tai would've left if he did so it wasn't as badass with that in mind, but the way it was edited and Tai looking back and forth to Scot and Jason was just the best. I think some of us had joked about it happening earlier in the episode/season and then seeing it actually play out was incredible

All already mentioned but Sarah blindside, Parvati double idol, Michaela blindside, Savage blindside are the first ones that come to mind

Russell and his "I ain't done playing just yet" idol play in Samoa is definitely up there too

This one was the most cathartic for sure, I've never hated villains as much as I hated those two. Even more satisfying in hindsight after seeing how they treated Cydney at Ponderosa

JASON AND ELIZA PLAYING THE STICK

I could watch this all day. Tai's head going back and forth and all the little nudges from them. They must've been like "what is he waiting for??" because they're such morons. Then Tai shaking his head. I remember flipping out
