I was going to add Matt's second blindside in RI good job Curt.

Some other good ones not necessarily top 5:
John Carroll's boot in Marquesas
Paschal and the original rock draw
Carl and Lindsey in the trivia face off.
Erik giving up his necklace
Amanda's surprise idol
James leaving with two idols
Jeff Kent's boot was pretty crazy

You guys seem to have the more recent ones down. I think Sarah's boot would be my fav though.

Brads original boot was pretty great too.

Jays fake idol last season was pretty good too.

I narrowed it down to 8. Even though I tend to enjoy the earlier seasons of survivor more it appears that the production value of tribal makes a difference as most of my favorite tribal are from recent seasons.

1. Edgardo's blindside - Such a fun blindside. The reactions are just completely ridiculous and the Funny 115 article just makes this over the top my favorite TC.
2. Sarah's blindside - Such a classic. I did not see at coming at all and absolutely loved it. The reactions afterwards are almost as great as the tribal.
3. Matt's second blindside RI - Such a great move. The reaction on Matt's face when he realizes what has happened is priceless.
4. BvW Rock Draw - While I was pretty confident Tyson was winning the season this was really the last hurdle and most nerve wracking for me. Also Tyson telling Katie off afterwards was great.
5. Jeff Kent's blindside - I don't really know why this one sticks with me. I tried to find a full youtube video but only got the voting. IIRC both Abi and Malcolm out they have idols, and Jeff goes home only because Penner effs up and votes the wrong person.

Honorable Mentions
Michaela's Boot - Mostly because I didn't see it coming at all. And her reaction towards Jay was priceless. Such a great character.
Double Idol in Cambodia - Great tribal council that doesn't resonate as well with me because they made it so obvious that it was going to happen leading into the finale. Really fun nonetheless.
Malcolm's Boot - I am sure this one will eventually get into the top 5 because it was crazy exciting but I don't want to get carried away yet.

I think in terms of boots such as Alex, John C, the entire episodes makes the blindside that great. Not necessarily the tribal council itself.

1. Kim
2. Rob - If you just watched the season and did not know the history it is easy to see that he's the bomb.
3. Earl
4. Cochran - I hate to do this but Vic makes a good point.
5. Hatch

Honorable Mentions:
Yul - got helped out quite a bit by the twist. But used it very well.
Tina - Mario Lanza (the funny 115) makes a great point about how Tina used the "Strategy is of the devil" strategy perfectly.
Jeremy, PI Sandra, and Natalie A were p. good too. Look at that I did a top 10!

Worst Moves: I tried to do this based on if they hadn't made this move they would have won the game.

1. Colby chooses Tina. Morals aside this was a $900,000 decision.
2. Erik gives up immunity. Erik could have won the last couple challenges and probably been a millionaire.
3. Woo chooses Tony. Not sure if Kass would have been able to lawyer him out of the million bucks, but he had a good shot.
4. Rupert and Colby don't listen to Sandra. Sandra had an idol at F6 and wanted to go with Colby and Rupert. Had they gone with her, one of those 2 would have won the game.
5. James gets voted out with 2 idols in China. It was the Final 7. Yes had he survived he would have been guaranteed Final 4, but with his challenge strength he could have easily won a challenge or two.

Honorable Mentions:
I don't recall a lot of the bad moves in older seasons. A few come to mind.
- The Brandon one that Bryce mentioned.
- The coconut chop in Marquesas. The rotu 4 would have likely been the final 4.
- Penner for declining the alliance in Phillipines.

Jeremy is for sure top five to me. I have no idea how people let him get to the end. Tasha and Spencer are fairly worthy FTC opponents too (maybe the most well rounded FTC f3 ever?) and for him to get all 10 votes against them is super impressive

Ya fuck Cochran. Jeremy is fourth now.

Well still. Getting voted out with two idols at F7 is DUMB!

I don't think Parvati is a good winner because if they hadn't made it a final 2 blindside Cirie would have won. Not really setting yourself up for the win.

The OG millennial tribe!

I am the same as Vic! Blindsides are great but I remember the characters more. Because my top 2 were actually strategically boring seasons. I am sure HvV would be top 5 if I hadn't seen the spoilers.

1. Exile Island
2. Tocantins
3. Cagayan
4. Pearl Island
5. Marquesas

Honorable Mentions: BvW, MvGX, Micro, HvV, Gabon

Ya I guess Tocantins was a little more back and forth compared to EI which was straight pagonging.
