Season rankings
What this shows: Every Survivor season side by side on the same handful of stats, plus how Rob Has a Podcast ranked it. There is no "best season" score unless you build one with the sliders.
Build your own ranking
What this shows: Say how much each stat matters to you. Every finished season gets a score from 0 to 100: the weighted average of where it stands on those stats against the other seasons. Your weights are saved in the link, so you can share it.
Move a slider, or pick a starting point, to add a “Your score” column and sort by it.
Every season, by the numbers
What this shows: One row per season with counts from our data, plus its rank in RHAP's All-Time Top 40. Tap a column to sort; tap a season to open it. A margin is hidden for seasons past your spoiler-safe point.

How these are counted
What this shows: Every stat is a plain count from our season data, so you can check it on the season page. Finished seasons only; an airing season shows its numbers so far.
- Blindsides
- Vote-outs where the player had voted with someone who then voted them out at their previous Tribal Council, or went home holding an idol. The same definition as player profiles.
- Idols played
- Hidden immunity idols played at Tribal Council (half idols and nullifiers left out), from survivoR's advantage log.
- Big moves
- Eliminations in the top quarter of the show's blindside index (the surprise score on Explore: idols in pocket, allies who flipped, back-doors, tie-breaks). For Survivor that means a score of 7.6 or more.
- Jury margin
- The winner's jury votes minus the runner-up's. Smaller is closer, so a small margin ranks high. Hidden for seasons past your spoiler-safe point.
- Comp spread
- How many different castaways won individual immunity. High = wins were shared around; low = one or two players dominated.
- Returnees
- Players who had played the show before.
- Your score
- For each stat, a season's standing is the share of finished seasons it beats (0 to 1, ties share the middle). Your score is the average of those standings weighted by your sliders, times 100. A missing or spoiler-hidden value counts as the middle, so it never moves a season up or down.
- RHAP Top 40
- The rank from Rob Has a Podcast's Survivor All-Time Top 40 Rankings ↗ (Survivor 1–40, published 2021); each rank links to its episode. It is RHAP's opinion, shown as-is and never mixed into your score.
