Welcome to our first ever edition of Australian What Season Should You Watch!

With fourteen seasons of Australian Survivor, there's never been a better and yet more confusing time to dive into the US show's acclaimed cousin. We get frequent questions about what the best seasons are from Australian Survivor, and where to start. This is your chance to weigh in with all your opinions about these seasons and to encourage newbies to take the dive.

Though only twelve seasons are considered part of the modern Australian Survivor canon, we have included the two earlier seasons as part of our surveys. If these surveys do not receive enough responses, we will not include them as part of the overall rankings. We will however still do 'unranked' countdown posts for these two seasons to give you the chance to give your longer opinions on these seasons.

For this iteration of WSSYW we will be continuing the format of WSSYW 12.0. In each parent comment, there is a link to a Google Form where you will be asked to rate how watchable the season is for a new Survivor fan. For example, if you think a season is extremely watchable and highly recommended for a new fan, you might score it a 9 or a 10. If you think a season is dense, predictable, unfun or disappointing, you might score it a 1 or a 2. We will then calculate the average scores given to each season and use these to create a ranking of seasons. VOTING A SEASON UP OR DOWN ON REDDIT HAS NO EFFECT ON THE SEASON RANKINGS. To emphasise this, we will keep this thread in contest mode during voting.

Voting on WSSYW 12.0 will close at midnight EST at the end of Friday July 24th. At this point, we will collect and average the data so that we may publish the results over the next few weeks, as part of a series of countdown posts.

There will also be additional questions in these forms. These questions are not mandatory - they are merely a gauge of your opinion on specific aspects of each season, such as challenges, twists and the ending. The results that they produce will also be included in this thread, and in the daily countdowns, at a later date.

Once you’ve voted, you are encouraged to leave a review. Any comments that contain major spoilers will be removed. This especially includes any comments that could give away the winner or F2/F3. It also means no major plot points like boot order, rock draws, medevacs, or twists. Mentioning tribe swaps is ok, but discussing specific results from them is not (e.g. someone getting swap screwed). When describing boot order, please be vague, with words like "bad" or "disappointing" instead of "all the likable players are booted pre-merge." It is ok to discuss spoilers in vague terms as long as you don't reveal the specific results. For instance, “Champions vs. Contenders has a bananas post-merge, with tons of awesome drama” is okay, but “One player runs a train over her overmatched competitors this post-merge” is not.

We encourage a 1,250-character limit on comments to keep replies short and on point. Newbies who use this thread said that they want to be able to quickly peruse short non-spoiler descriptions of seasons, rather than read essay-length responses.

But there will also be a place for those essays. After a few days has passed and this thread has established an order of seasons, we will begin a second series: a countdown series of the rankings that allows spoilers and has no character limit, beginning with whatever season came in last. They will run for the next two weeks after voting closes.

The thread is not trying to establish the perfect order for watching seasons. It's meant as an easy-to-read, spoiler-free reference tool for anyone who wants help figuring out why they should watch a certain season, and which seasons are considered the best. We refer to this thread throughout the year whenever someone posts something like, “I’m new to Australian Survivor! What seasons should I watch?” We get a ton of these posts.

To emphasise that voting seasons up or down has no effect, this thread will be sorted in contest mode at first and will later move to sorting by the order of the seasons.

TL;DR:

1. Click on the link in each parent comment to vote on seasons.
2. Do not upvote or downvote seasons; this has no effect.
3. Leave short, spoiler free reviews for each season, with a suggested character limit of 1,250
4. Write in-depth reviews with no spoiler restrictions for a daily countdown of the rankings

# Here are the latest winner pick statistics.

To avoid any potential spoilers (or even the impression that something could be a spoiler), numbers for a particular castaway will be published only after they are voted out.

She had 31 of 450 total picks (7%).

Rizo was ranked 15/24 in Winner Picks.

He had 7 of 450 total picks (2%).

Joe was ranked 16/24 in Winner Picks.

He had 6 of 450 total picks (1.3%).

Jonathan was ranked 24/24 in Winner Picks.

He had 1 of 450 total picks (1.7%).

Post Episode 13

61 Winner Picks (14%) still standing.*

What did people think of Tiffany based on pre-game information?

We have compiled some of those quotes below:

* “Sarah, Parv, Amber and Wentworth were all underestimated on their returnee seasons and made it deep. I think Tiffany could do the same." - u/SevereWizardShark

* “She will be able to fly under the radar for a long time yet has the strategic chops to make the right moves when she needs to.” - u/jstu9

* “Back when she was first voted off, I remember saying in the comments that she'd win a returnee season if she ever came back. I might not have been expecting that season to be 50, but I'm sticking to my guns. She'll go unnoticed compared to some of the bigger threats here, at least at first, and I think she has what it takes to make it to the end." - u/theevilcactus1

* “Tiffany’s threat level coming into this season is extremely reminiscent of Parvati’s on FvF (she’s a WTF? pick for this season, but is overall decent.) So many players outside the game have said that they love Tiffany and that she is one of the coolest people they’ve ever met; I’m pretty sure Liz said as much in her most recent AMA, and it helps a lot in tandem with threat level. I think she brings a very down to earth radical energy that will allow her to integrate with everyone else." - u/bigpaparoid

# What did people think of Rizo based on pre-game information?

We have compiled some of those quotes below:

* "Nobody’s seen 49, so they don’t know his gameplay. He’s got a crazy strategic brain for Survivor that got him far in 49, and hopefully get him to win 50." - u/Tig_bitty_420

* "R-I-Z-G-O-D RIZGOD BABY" -u/mxjd

* "At the final 3 breakfast of Survivor 49, Savannah, Sophi, and Sage talked about how good Rizo is at Survivor, and if he ever got a chance to play again, he would win. The show has been telling us he wins 50 before the season even airs." -u/foxsleftear

# What did people think of Joe based on pre-game information?

We have compiled some of those quotes below:

* “think he is going to fit in perfectly with old school and new era has bigger threats that will be targeted first. His loyalty tactic will be more respected this time around. And I think this is exactly the outcome Jeff wants to see!" - u/clhinton

* "Joe proved he is loyal to his alliance and that perception will entice other players to keep him as an ally." -u/salmonberry94

* "Joe has crazy eyes in premiere week press." -u/righteoushare

# What did people think of Jonathan based on pre-game information?

No quotes available

# What did people think of Aubry based on pre-game information?

We have compiled some of those quotes below:

* "It was between Aubry and Tiffany for me. Aubry has a pretty low threat level coming in and she’s had a lot of time to reflect on her games which is something she didn’t really get the chance to do in 34 or 38 which I think will give her a high chance to win" - u/TheCoolGuy998

* "I feel like Aubry has something to prove after a previous poor performance which also helps  lower her threat level. This combined with a strategic mind makes her an end gamer for sure!" -u/WayfaringRogue7272

* "Aubrey has played a good game in the past. There is enough time, a couple of rough seasons to get her under the radar." -u/grimmlover79

* "I think Aubrey is positioned well on her starting tribe, isn’t someone that will come out blazing but rather play pretty subtlety, and will be so non threatening she will make it all the way." -u/MsMeseeksTellsTime

# As we reveal the most recent numbers each week, we'll update the winner picks!
