- Reviewing the entire season of Survivor: Ghost Island. Was it good, bad, or somewhere in between? Is it a top tier season or one of the worst? Here are my thoughts... again!
Also it needs to be said: Ponderosa is killing it. If you're a fan of Survivor and you want just a little more after each episode--it's a must watch.

Underrated season, it was frustrating how laurel never made the move and it seemed like every chance someone had to take out dom or Wendell the blew it, but on the flip side dom and Wendell played amazing games and it was cool watching them work their magic
Laurel not making a move was frustrating but at a certain point it was obvious she was on Dom and Wendell's side and whenever someone wanted to blindside them, they would blab to Laurel which was more frustrating.
I feel like this season was a solid season, but it could have been a really good one if some people had played a little better (Donathan, Sebastian, Laurel, Angela, Chris Noble)
to me Wendell looks like Childish Gambino/Donald Glover, Michael looks like Chris Pratt, and Libby kinda looks like Kara from Survivor David vs Goliath
Robles Tako Libby on her worst day looks better than Kara on her best
Libby looks like the yellow power ranger from Power Rangers Fury or whatever
Robles Tako trueeee
Robles Tako BRUH THATS WHAT I SAID ABOUT DONALD. SO MUCH SO THAT I CALL HIM DONALD
Stephanie was more interesting than MOST of the jury. Definitely want her back for another season ,
She’s never playing again she said
I think I might watch this season in the Furture. I haven't seen enough season to get all the twists/advantages refrences. What do you think Should I watch this Season? Ive only watched 15,18,28,33.
Dom got robbed
Mohamed gulaid agree but hey at least the person he lost to played a good game aswell
JC Gam1ng I like Wendells as well but dom was better and he was playing it as soon as they hit the beach
Mohamed gulaid just sucks knowing who one after the votes tied
Overall a rather dull season, however there was an exceptionally good merge episode and decent finale.
Harvey Hingley I liked it better than Edge of Extinction and Island of the Idols
No love for Michael!
My Rankings:
20. Jacob
19. Gonzalez
18. Bradley
17. Morgan
16. Brendan
15. Stephanie
14. James
13. Chris
12. Desi
11. Chelsea
10. Libby
9. Angela
8. Jenna
7. Sebastian
6. Laurel
5. Kellyn
4. Michael
3. Donathan
2. Wendell
1. Dom
This might be an unpopular opinion but I really liked Morgan and believe that she should come back in a second chance season. She was kind of screwed but it was a good blindside
Exactly!
Tbh I loved ghost island finally was predictable after the votes tied and it’s funny because I was like I wanted Dom to win day 1 and said won’t mind Wendell winning and look how this ended
JC Gam1ng thank you. Someone else who really likes this season.
I agree with u
This is one of my favorite seasons ever
I think I saw this when it was first uploaded, but a Peridiam video to watch on Saturday? Heck yeah!
Michael needs to be back for another season he was a really good player he just got put in a terrible situation
Justice Kellett he was my favorite
I agree.
No thanks, HE WAS SOOOO BORING
All your hard work is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for taking your time to make these amazing videos for us!
Thank you for watching!
@@Peridiam I think I might watch this season in the Furture. I haven't seen enough season to get all the twists/advantages refrences. What do you think Should I watch this Season? Ive only watched 15,18,28,33.
So basically
*spooky scary skeletons send idols down your spine*
You mean spooky scary skeletons send idols down MICHAEL'S spine
For a Pagonging season I must say it was really good. I'm just shocked that after Morgan got voted out, no one threw a challenge on that tribe. They could've saved Stephanie and Brendan. In return taking out Chris and Angela. And the whole game is evened out.
let me make ONE THING CLEAR. MICHAEL NEEDS TO COME BACK. best player in the whole season. it was a shame to see him go so soon.
Steven Tarsitano I believe Dominic deserves was a much better player but I can agree that he needs a second chance
@@kitwalkerscumsock I think that Michael was deffinitely way more cunning. Dom had people to do his dirty work for him which made his game easier.
Steven Tarsitano Domenick did all of his own dirty work Wendell had dom do it for him
he really deserved the W for 5:36
I've been searching for this video for the past few months and questioned why I couldn't find it, thankfully I can watch it now.
One of the worst seasons ever with a very boring case with the exception of Dom, Wendell, Donathan, and Stephanie Rae......
And Jacob
@@BladeBlur fucking loved Jacob
Joseph Harriman we need jacob back ASAP
Kellyn? Libby? Michael? Chris?
@quinna5537
Chris Noble yes
Kellyn, Libby, and Michael were all duds or archetypes we’ve seen better from other players
Random opinion: the should’ve brought back the car reward for Ghost Island to see if anyone can reverse the car curse
The Dom and Wendle show....Laural could have easily won by blindsiding then at 6 and 5....
She couldn't have blindsided them though, because they both had idols, that was the problem. If she gets lucky enough to blindside one of them (which probably wouldn't have happened because they would have used their idol), then she most likely gets voted off next time considering whichever one doesn't go home still has an idol and probably wins immunity (I think Wendell or Dom won every immunity from final 6 on). So either way Laurel loses and either Wendell or Dom wins, it was pretty much inevitable.
@@nolanrussell6326 it's a blindside. So in this scenario they wouldn't be expecting to have to play it.
She had chances basically since the Desiree vote but was too scared to make a move
I would love to see a season without premerge. that would be a twist
stacuu2222 Season 10 Survivor 🇵🇼 was the only season with no merge at all.
@@quinna5537 yeah but that was different. There was usual tribe split, and Im Talking about full out just one tribe twist
I liked the theme of this season, and think it would have been perfect for season 39 rather than 36
This season is not necessarily my least favorite of all time, but boy was it bland. Five people (mostly two) took up a vast majority of the screen time post-merge which resulted in an utter lack of knowledge about any of the other players. I honestly kept forgetting Angela existed. Also - the GI theme did not contribute to the show effectively at all in my opinion. If anything it took away from some of the dynamic we could have seen between the cast. The theme was also not consistent at all. I do think the final three were very deserving and the FTC was good, but it did not make up for the rest of this season for me unfortunately.
Peridiam .... your vides are the fucking shit!!! good job buddy. keep em coming
laurel was one of the main catalysts to ruin this season
I don’t know how someone who comes across as so logical can have some demented idea in her mind that she’d get votes in the end sitting next to Dom and Wendell. She had so many opportunities to flip and just didn’t.
That and the editing just made this season abysmal.
She could have won this show if she just burnt Dom n Wendell. But she didnt pull the trigger.
@@TheMurrmursonbottle I'd heard that she later said in interviews that at a certain point she was content with 3rd place because she didn't want to play the bad guy. I don't know which is true. I don't know which is less crazy.
@@Mentally_Will Its called surivior yet she didnt want to be a bad guy
TheMurrmursonbottle Wendell had her so indebted to him, especially after he didn’t claim the immunity win that she won. That just confirmed to her that Wendell is extremely loyal and she didn’t want to betray his trust.
Jeff sounded so happy with this season.
Pssshhh they'll never make a winner's season
@Tegan Green makes it an even playing ground, I got my hopes up already
@Tegan Green it's already confirmed to be all winners, they actually just started filming it! The first person has been voted out already.
Season 40 is an all winners season
it’s being filmed as we speak
Yes, they are. Season 40 and Wendell is in it.
Thank you for reuploading this, I was never able to watch the original one and to finally be able to watch this I’m happy
I forgot what the firemaking challenge was like in this season and I seriously forgot about the existence of Angela. I think that about sums up the editing for the Dominic and Wendell show aka Ghost Island.
I think I might watch this season in the Furture. I haven't seen enough season to get all the twists/advantages refrences. What do you think Should I watch this Season? Ive only watched 15,18,28,33.
The downfall of this season was having loads of underedited cast members. However, I still like a lot of them. I could see the show bringing back Michael, Kellyn, Dominic, Donathan, Chris and even Laurel. Even premergers like Stephanie J, Jacob and Bradley I would like to see again.
ghost island more like dom and wendells island
Purple Chelsea
When your favorite castaways are the season's underdogs that never win. It sucks. Michael, Stephanie J., James, and Libby should be back. Chris and Dom too.
Laurel and Kellyn should never come back!!! Naviti strong sucks.
People who I think should return (not counting Wendell because of WaW)
Donathan (he's guaranteed another chance)
Kellyn (she was strategic)
Domenick (prolly bring him and Chris back together for their rivalry)
Chris (same as Dom)
Libby (manipulative, possibly the new Andrea)
Michael (got the short end of the stick cuz Malolo was terrible)
Laurel (probably be a "game changer" for casting the deciding vote)
Stephanie (they've brought back pre-merge boots before)
love the ending of these videos. they always have such great moments
The stick becoming an immunity idol was the most interesting thing that happened on that season.
I cant believe I dont have to pay a monthly subscription for this. I feel like I'm stealing.. I'm marathoning @peridiam 's videos like a mad man.
I’ve been looking everywhere for this. YAY!
Shane Cox same
LIVING THE DREAM ON PONDEROSA
i LOVE your content. thank your for re uploading. Your the only content creator that could reupload a video and still have my full attention through every second
😜
This was my first season and I only watched because my neighbor (Brendan Shapiro) was on it and looking back on it, it wasn’t even that good
Ghost island not even giving out advantages literally half the time
“No game today” was the dumbest shit imaginable
Why even bother with the twist if they cap out at like 11/17
Peridiam, you are a freaking genius!
One of the biggest problems with this season was in the post-merge where players (especially Laurel) had opportunity after opportunity to go after DoMeNick and Wendell, and they never did. D & W just marched from the merge to the finale and there never was any doubt they'd make it there.
Also, Laurel just refusing to make a move. Never before have I seen someone literally play for 3rd place and no higher (well, maybe Tasha in Cambodia).
Hornacek troyzan in game changers and I think his name was mick? The guy from Samoa
Ghost Island was actually my favorite season in memory (Granted I've only watched each season from HvV onward once). I loved the idea of reversing the curse of failed advantages/idols, and Wendell is in my top 5 favorite winners of all time. I enjoyed this season, and I hope when I head back to watch the older seasons, I enjoy them all as much as I enjoyed Ghost Island.
You haven’t seen Ozzys first time playing ?! Or S15 China or RUSSEL destroy a whole tribe on S19
Actually a really strong cast. All the twists and advantages kinda masked all that
Is it bad that I group people like Dom from this season and Wardog from Edge of Extinction together?
There's always someone like them each season that makes me say "They look/sound shifty, gotta take em out day 1"...
Don't forget Joe (from HvHvH) ... They all are similar to Tony imo.
not every season can be a hit. some of it will always depend on the players. the ghost island twist fell flat in it's execution. but i feel like the players weren't really in it this season. sure, some of the characters were fun to watch, but this season kinda just felt like dom and wendell steamrolling through the game with their goats/enablers while all the other strategic players got the shaft too early or simply waited until it was too late, in the case of donothan and kellyn.
Hooray! It's back!
4:44 Peridiam that stinging sensation you feel in your eyes is a Natalie Napalm
just watched this season and oh boy its a stinker in my opinion. i thought the gimmick was cool at first, became tiresome, and i realized Dom or Wen would win like 3 episodes in and got bored of it very fast.
Okay, so this video about Ghost Island came back like magic and my theory is that it was resting out on Ghost Island itself for a bit just soaking up the Fiji sun.
Wasn't a fan of this season, and I watched this when it frist came out, but nothing wrong with adding to the view and like count right
Glad you reuploaded! This season was sadly very front heavy. Pre-merge/Merge episode were great. But then took a lull as the Dom and Wendell show took over. Oddly enough this season was a hint of what was gonna explode with EoE. A good cast we didn’t get to see enough of cuz there was too many people and a twist taking up too much time to really dig into their characters
This season had some bright moments but I have never seen a season with so many awful game players go so far. Im not saying I disliked the following but Donathon, Angela and Seabass are all contenders in my opinion for worst "players" of all time from any season. 0 game play or just mind blowing moves that make no sense. Laurel made good points about her game in the finale but made zero moves to take a chance to win, she always seemed fine with third. Wendall and Dom are all time greats, but not much else other than that.
Also does anyone else believe Sebastian, Chris, Micheal, Laurel, Wendell, Dom, Donathan, Stephanie, AngelA and Kellyn will return
Season 40 is rumoured to be all winners and Wendell is in it so that'd be his second chance. Michael and Domenick are huge fan favourites so I could see them on Heroes vs Villains 2 or Cambodia 2. I rate Chris and Stephanie too.
In order: No; not really; not as much as I used to believe; no; 100% yes; absolutely; I'd like to see that happen but I doubt it; it's doubtful; absolutely not; and maybe/maybe not
Dom should have won, so dumb that it came down to a player that shouldn't have had a vote.
Ghost island should come back I love the flashbacks of players who made bad decisions
treating this as a new video anyways because I can't ever get enough content from you xD
Worst season
Worst cast.
Worst edit.
Ekong Makoy Have you never seen Redemption Island, One World or Game Changers?
@@kitwalkerscumsock thats also one on the books bro. But personally this is the worst season for me.
One world, game changers and redemption island has full of characters to remember.
Ekong Makoy fair enough, I just think that one world game changers and redemption island had the worst cast ever and the worst edit ever
Atleast we had iconic characters in RI, OW and GC.
How bout GI? I cant even recall the narrative on that season.
Worst season: No way.
Worst cast: No.
Worst edit: Maybe.
I think I realized after watching this, ghost island and edge of extinction where I get the most entertainment when I watch survivor since these seasons were complete opposites in the sense that ghost island had a bad journey with a good payoff while edge of extinction had a good journey with a bad payoff. Other people seem to be valuing the payoff more, but I'm more interested in the journey since there is a lot more of it i suppose. There was also some value in the fact that Chris was a shocking winner while Wendell might have been the most predictable winner in the history of the show aside from Boston Rob.
18:23 I'm just watching this now. Season 40 is all winners!!
Lol did he just say multiple swaps didn't work in Cambodia ??
LMAO. How do you think those premerge alliances were broken up and we had a fluid season ?
Ceo Oberabor It makes the season way too hectic, imo to the detriment of the episode and the editors.
I think that the season would have been super fluid regardless of the swaps, just based on the group of players that were out there. I think one swap would have worked just as well, but I do think Second Chances was the best result of 2 swaps that we've seen.
i think that ghost island was a twist not done well. it fell flat. why go to ghost island to get an advantage when you can find one in the bushes near camp? i feel like if they make a place where advantages come from, then they need to remove the other ones from the game. i feel like in general, the producers need to limit the ammount of idols on the island. makes it possible for idol spam.
I think the themers did a bad job at creating scenarios from the past. It goes to your complaint about the "exile island moments" with no prize. What so you couldn't seriously think of enough mistakes to fill an entire twist? REALLY? The thing is you didn't even need to redo mistakes it could have even just been interesting X/Y choices that could have been made differently. If Survivor had trouble with the theming they should have asked fans on Twitter for help, it would have made fans feel good and improved the show.
Kellyn was one of the most annoying people to ever play Survivor. Her confessionals were cringe to watch. My least favorite player in Survivor history.
Dr. Mantis Toboggan, M.D. I’m late to this comment but Kellyn made me wanna chop my head off. The naviti strong made me so annoyed. If she comes back I might lose my mind
Let's hope it stays up this time
Dang you think CBS blocked it cause you gave it a 6.5 out of 10? That's messed up if true
Man. This was the worst season in a while, imo. Totally forgettable aside from FTC
Hey how posting some link (eg Google Docs/Sheet on view only mode) with all the scores of all the seasons. A post isn't going to be targeted. That said your scores are definitely more lenient than most people haha. A number isn't just nice but wraps up the whole season and boils it down to a scale where you can measure and compare between seasons. Ofcourse measuring seasons are more complex than a numerical value but that's why there are the review videos too and go very much along with the number.
Yeah, maybe I'll add the scores to the description. I do think I'll continue to include scores in future reviews. I could just be paranoid.
Oh dear lord this was by far the worst season of all time and I’ve tried my best to hide it in the deepest darkest recesses of my mind so that I don’t have to think about it anymore
XxTheAnimetrixxX
Well I respect ur opinion and for me it was decent but had noticeable flaws
And to me Redemption Island and Nicaragua were worse maybe because both cam right after a huge amazing all star season Heroes v Villains also do u think this twist will return.
I can see it returning hopefully they give it tweeks though
"Worst season of all time"
I don't know if you generally think that or have only been watching since Cagayan. Ghost island may not have had a strong cast but for me it wasn't that dang bad....
The themes were not looking good for a few years now, just listen to Peridiam videos and make a RIVALS season
Yeah, the Rivals idea seems dope as hell. Although David vs Goliath and Millenials vs Gen X haven't been bad themes.
@@parkzy2920 I know bro and I loved DvG but ghost island, edge of extinction and now the next one being island of the idols.... Idk there are so many better ideas like Rivals and final boots(which would have an amazing cast to pick from)
@@philipthomas8928 fortunately Season 40 may save Survivor with it rumoured to be an all winner's season which even if they try they can't mess up.
@@parkzy2920 it's not just a rumor, it's legitimately an all winners season that started filming last week. The cast has already been revealed by InsideSurvivor which is a very reliable source.
@@nolanrussell6326 yeah I heard r/redmond was saying it, a reliable source, but there's been controversy since Tyson did a RHAP podcast roughly the time of the deperature of this season 40.
seeing as this is a review for ghost island, I'd have to say that we are on the same page in regards to the scoring (or lack thereof)
13:36 to 14:03 I HAVE GAINED POWER MY STICK FRIENDS BE IN THE FIRE AND MATURE INTO AN IMUNNITY IDOL
I don't think a number review is necessary at all - your comments are more valuable. No big deal not to have them in the future!
Dom should of won
Will you review old seasons?
Maybe one day, but right now I don't plan to.
It's really a shame how badly GI nosedived after its strong start. I even remember rewatching the premier the very next day because I thought it was so well done.
Hey peridiam, I was curious if your opinions of Ghost Island have changed at all in the past year
They haven't. I do like a lot of the cast members even more than at the time, but for the most part GI is still not great Survivor.
Please do a Peridiam video take on the cast for season 40
With better editing, this season could've been at least mid-tier
Oh shoot you should do a second chances for people who ain't make F5
]]Did not enjoy this season EoE was so amazing! Just made it even clearer this was a boring group. Once The dominate tribe took over and no one had theguts to go after Wendell and Dominick it never took off at all. David vs Goliath started and then EoE came next--two great seasons back to back!
WENDELL IS COMINGGGG
Why did you take this down in the first place?
I didn't, CBS blocked it.
The curse of the orange 😂
Great concept. I liked the idea of past misplays coming back like that.
But a terrible cast. Only a few players were actually good.
Tks for the score
the ending i cackled
will always watch videos for promise of domenic abatte
Dom is great. One of my faves.
cool review I agree
I didn’t like this season at all, but Wendell and Don made it better
Idk if anyone can tell CBS this but here's some ideas I've heard and I think would be great to impliment into a season: Second Chance 2.0, First Boots, Survivor Legends, Rivals Head to Head (Peridiam Vid), Heroes vs Villains 2.0, Survivor-Outwit, Outlast, Outplay-(Previous survivors that demonstrated one of these attributes the best), A season for those who got screwed by twists
Can someone tell me where can I download these?
I was wondering where this was......
Imma ghost, wheeeeeeeee
I feel like it was not as interesting as the other survivor episodes
I haven't seen this video in so long!
I liked this great premerge and great finish.
I loved this video
