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 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

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

god I had forgot about Hannah

I was expecting a Top Five Uncomfortable Moments

1. Heroes vs Villains
2. Cagayan
3. Vanuatu
4. Amazon
5. Pearl Islands

honorable: Micronesia, Second Chances, Kaoh Rong (would be top 5 for sure with a different winner)

I watched all seasons as they aired up to Cook Islands and then just got kinda bored like most people seemed to. Then I got into ORGs and started watching again but that was when RI was starting so that's where I jumped back in. I've gone back and watched seasons in that gap I missed but I haven't gotten around to HvV. I feel like I've seen too many clips and know too much of what happens to motivate me to get into it. I'd watch Tocantins first but I'll still get around to it eventually

After rewatching HvV for the first time recently, I can say it really doesn't lose much of its impact knowing the outcome. There's just so many great moments/storylines, especially in the pre-merge

also looking at people's lists, apparently there's a bunch of good seasons I need to go back and watch sometime (: I've missed more than I thought

haven't seen:

Borneo
Guatemala
Panama
Cook Islands
Fiji
China
Nicaragua
Redemption Island
South Pacific
One World
Philippines
Caramoan
Blood vs. Water
San Juan del Sur
Worlds Apart

ya at least I dodged pretty much all the biggest dud seasons

I might watch Philippines next while I'm on this kick tbh. I know pretty much nothing about it beyond the winner and the fact that Abi's in it

I just liked having auctions :(
