Survivor: Samoa
Survivor: Samoa is the nineteenth season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor. The season premiered on Thursday, September 17, 2009. Participant applications were due by January 14, 2009. Approximately 800 were invited to be interviewed in several states. Following this, approximately 48 semi-finalists were invited to Los Angeles in April 2009 for final interviews with the producers. From there, 20 finalists were selected to be contestants in the show, which was scheduled to occur between mid June and mid-July 2009 in Samoa. Similar to Survivor: Tocantins, the minimum age requirement for this season was 18 for most states.[2]
In the end, Natalie White defeated Russell Hantz and Mick Trimming with a vote of 7–2–0. Hantz ended up winning the "Sprint Player of the Season" Award, earning the fans' vote over Shannon "Shambo" Waters and Brett Clouser. This was the first season when the tribes merged at 12.

Survivor: Tocantins
Survivor: Tocantins — The Brazilian Highlands is the eighteenth season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor. The season was filmed in the microregion of Jalapão in Tocantins, Brazil, and first aired Thursday, February 12, 2009. CBS began casting for Survivor: Tocantins once production for Survivor: Gabon was underway. Applications were due by July 15, 2008, with in-person interviews being conducted in various cities sometime in August 2008, and semi-finalists traveling to Los Angeles, California sometime in September 2008. Sixteen applicants were chosen to compete on the show, and were initially divided into two tribes. Exile Island returned this season, but with new twists. Instead of one castaway sent to Exile Island, two were sent. While on Exile Island, each exiled castaway picked from one of two urns. One urn contained a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol and an option to join the opposing tribe, while the other urn contained nothing.
James "J.T." Thomas, Jr. was named the winner in the final episode on May 17, 2009, defeating Stephen Fishbach in a unanimous vote. In addition, J.T. was named "Sprint Player of the Season", earning the fans' vote over Tamara "Taj" Johnson-George and Sierra Reed. Thomas was the second player to win the game by a unanimous vote, following Earl Cole of Survivor: Fiji, but the first to receive no votes throughout the season in addition to a unanimous jury vote.
---------------------------------
Each round I'll be posing a question for all polls. Round one question is a sort of grading rubric for the season:
Rate the season 1-10 on the winner
Rate the season 1-10 on entertainment
Rate the season 1-10 on the cast overall
Rate the season 1-10 on gameplay

Tocantins is the best. Tyson at his best! | "So, uh, what are we saying here? If we save LA from a nuclear bomb, then you and I can get together for dinner and a movie?"

toughhhhh I voted Samoa only because I like the winner and story better. But the editing was soooo bad. I liked both regardless. Don't care which moves on | |

Tough, people shit on Samoa, yes the editing was bad, but it was some crazy shit.
I think it's the season that taught me the most about strategy, when I was younger I was always convinced russell was robbed and should have won, then I read an essay about how bad russell was and that really got me into the game and eventually ORGs.
Toncantins is just too good though. JT, Stephen. Fucking Coach "dying" at exile. Tyson is such a clown too haha | Winner of 11 Courses of Thanksgiving

love both seasons. Samoa was the first season i watched, watched it when it aired... so p memorable season for me. Tocantins was such a good season though in terms of gameplay, characters, and one of the best winners in survivor history imo.
Samoa beats Tocantins when it comes to entertainment cuz premerge was far more interesting, but overall i'd say Tocantins was better. | | |
