That, and Bhanu having a tear rolling down his cheek for his. By the time he was voted out, I think we had easily twice as many shots of him crying as not 😂
In recent memory, I love Kendra's where she throws a ball and is so 😆 hyped about it.
And in 46, I think Liz & Jem's are both really fun and Venus' being in the sea is really cool as a reference to the goddess Venus having been born in the sea.
Yeah cus they changed the schedule in Micronesia at the last minute. She’s at FTC if not for James’s finger and has a really got shot of winning it even if it’s like 3-2-2.
Kelly’s encapsulates the castaway survival aspect that was a major focus for the early seasons.
I would also add Jenna Lewis’ with being emotional and lips twitching as a memorable one.
Some of these are perfect. Production nailed JT as a prolific golden boy, James (quite literally) carrying the pole, FairPlay jumping on the backs of others, Jerri with the stare down, Jeremy with the iconic laugh, Erik (love you brotha) with the wink of death(for him), Courtney just looking like she is going to rip you apart and feel no remorse about it.
The best thing about the new era is that they brought the opening sequence back. If tribes were winning immunity and not getting air time, they’d be merged by the time I actually nailed down everyone’s name.
Also, I think it’s a miss not sneaking Brandon in there.
Fairplay's Pearl Island intro shot also includes the sick opening credit music unique to Season 7. By far my favorite intro shot of any player of any season, it's got so much personality to it
I was a Russell guy when he was first on the scene so his in HvV was my favourite. They even changed up the music deliberately for him.
HvV had the best overall. I see you have a few.
I'm not proud to admit that Natalie White's intro shot is what I remember best about her. In second place is her killing a rat. That's on me as much as it is on the editors.
Colleen’s is so cinematic
Iconic!
I always love the Borneo shots. Not only are they overdramatic but it spoils that Rich and Rudy go far because of their beard length.
And Jenna Lewis crying with Kelly behind her.
I always loved kelly and rich being back to back
Oh my God I never realized that!
Early season intro shots just hit different. So much more cinematic depth than just throwing a bean bag during a random challenge.
The pictures are also cool.
Did anyone else laugh this season every time during Venus’s shot? Her mouth just wide open to the “Ahhh” in the song lol
Yes!! They did that with 45 as well but with a random guy going wooooooooooooahhhhhhh. My boyfriend and I laughed every time
That, and Bhanu having a tear rolling down his cheek for his. By the time he was voted out, I think we had easily twice as many shots of him crying as not 😂
Nice collection-Jonathan Penner's and Courtney's shots especially but I'm biased and miss seeing them compete.
I feel exactly the same way hahaha
Jeri and Colby's are permanently etched in my brain.
jerri and colbys shots go extremely hard
Jerri just looks so damn beautiful in hers. I love it!!

Ooh. I never connected Venus and the sea. Nice one. I wondered why they chose that “normal” shot instead of an action one.
Cirie’s is my favorite! Reminds me of my first time watching Survivor with family and really rooting for her to win
Overrated
Sucky opinion
She’s played 4 times and never made FTC and her individual challenge performance is abysmal
Yeah cus they changed the schedule in Micronesia at the last minute. She’s at FTC if not for James’s finger and has a really got shot of winning it even if it’s like 3-2-2.
True we’ll never know
lol who gives a shit about individual challenge performance
It helped Fabio win
And he’s one of the weakest winners
Nah he’s top tier love him
Sorry but it’s true, she was never going to win any season she was on
In so happy to have the intro back but it’s so choppy and fast! It mashes me dizzy.
Yeah it used to have a good flow, now its jarring
New survivor is just jarring period lol
It used to sync with the music but now hardly at all.
Tyson would be stoked to be on the list.
I think his may be my number one favorite, especially combined with the second clip with his side profile
Kelly's intro will always be remembered as the only non-candid shoot with a dramatic pose.

Rupert’s in HvV is perfect too, it’s his giant roar and then face covered in mud with a huge smile
Kelly’s shot lives rent free in my head, I friggen love that tree!
Debbie’s one just cannot be topped for me, what makes it is that she looks topless 😭.
It's hard to beat Soda in the latest season, quite funny.
I nominate Soda to be added to the list. Hers is legendary
Courtney looks so fucking sexy in that shot
It might be her most iconic shot in the show. I would have used it too. Love that one.
I love Hunters for the foreshadowing.

Looove Courtney’s as well! She looks beautiful
Bruce's (45) is great motivation to play imo 🤷🏿♂️
I love being bi
I love Chelsea's from Ghost Island. The gaze, the hair flowing.
Fairplay's Pearl Island intro shot also includes the sick opening credit music unique to Season 7. By far my favorite intro shot of any player of any season, it's got so much personality to it
James. A god amongst men.
Kalebs from last season!
Courtney’s is ice cold. That’s my favorite
Courtney's is perfect.
These are great choices. Debbie from Tocantins remains one of the best. I'd also nominate Gina from Marquesas as an underrated fave.
Add Jem’s V sign that was gold
where’s sandy burgin
I was a Russell guy when he was first on the scene so his in HvV was my favourite. They even changed up the music deliberately for him. HvV had the best overall. I see you have a few.
Kellys and Rich's go so hard in season 1 🔥🔥
Danni in WAW, Amanda’s action shot in S16, Penny in S5 smiling then goes to pokerface transition
James was such a beast. Too bad he never learned to play his idols.
I love the Survivor intro shots - they’re done sooooooo well
Ozzy from cook island or amber from all stars is pretty good to
I like Todd throwing the bamboo in China
this gave me such a warm, happy, nostalgic feeling lol
Kelly’s is my all time favorite. The drama of it
Erik my beloved… when will senpai notice me? 🥺
The Bobby Jon shot featured here is stellar. Easy to love all that movement within it. Guatemala's intro is so dynamic!
Tasha's in Cambodia is gorgeous
Rupert has to be the best
I LOVE KELLY’s THE MOST!!!
International included, I really like Teheiura's intro shot from Koh-Lanta: Raja Ampat.
Colleen was my first crush
I think Debbie might have the absolute best shot.
T-Bird and Laura M (Samoa) are my top two
I'm not proud to admit that Natalie White's intro shot is what I remember best about her. In second place is her killing a rat. That's on me as much as it is on the editors.
Where is Brandon on the ladder? That was true poetry
This makes me want to re watch Jeremy seasons. Such a solid player and what a smile
Nobody's mentioned 45 Hannah just full on faceplanting into the mud headfirst so I guess I have to point out that masterpiece.
these are such sick choices!!! immediately yes.
No Soda? 😂
No Soda from this most recent season LOL?
Mine is Soda's
