I haven't seen many of the Survivor seasons in full (and didn't see Thailand at all), so I am anxious for all the seasons to come out on DVD. I did think Rich played well and played brilliantly to win, and Tina and Vecepia impressed me (though I can't remember much about their seasons now). I've always thought Jenna is an underrated winner based on things I've seen people on messageboards and other places say; she was amazing in challenges (both reward and immunity) and had some subtle strategies. I think you meant to say "Matt" and not "Alex" in your post, though.

Chris was an Ok winner to me, but not one of the 'better' ones. He seemed to play himself up more than what he was worth; he did play well, but the clips of him telling the camera "I'll take that risk right now!" were dumb because once he was the only male left, there were no real risks for him. He had nothing to lose. The biggest move of season 9 was actually initiated by Twila as she went to Chris and told him to approach Eliza about an alliance. Plus, Chris made a dumb move in lying to Julie and Eliza without needing to.

Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
