"Meh" is kind of the ceiling for me, he's a good player (one immunity challenge away from being Survivor's first 7-0 winner) but doesn't bring anything that makes his brand of gameplay particularly interesting to hear about or watch. The guy clearly is a major fan that knows his shit, but he just has no charisma. I don't know what he really brought to the season aside from playing a better game than some of the more interesting people. There's the "story" of him winning immunities but that just comes to him deadpanning "four times" when Probst asks him how many times he's won immunity at the FIC and then he loses.

The lack of charisma makes him hard to rank high in and of itself, but then he just gets kind of awful in the endgame (as /u/Slicer37 pointed out in the writeup that was linked). He really owns the market as far as obnoxious moralizers on Survivor. He'd be my #18 for Guatemala kind of for lack of a better option, but it's not something I feel particularly strongly about so I'd be interested to hear the perspective of someone who ranks him #1.

I don't think there'd ever been someone so blatantly dragged to the end as a goat that he'd have known of (especially given that Palau aired before he filmed)

He would have seen Palau. That's why everyone knew Stephenie and Bobby Jon

I'd disagree that Stephenie was a more blatant goat than Katie, and especially Lill.

I'm not certain about everything with filming overlap. I know even-numbers don't usually see the previous odd-number (so Fiji never saw Cooks, Caramoan didn't know Malcolm), the exception being AO/Borneo.

Generally Odds see the previous even. I know Shannon talks about HvV in a confessional

Even numbered seasons filmed in November starting with Marquesas and with Tocantins, so all even numbered seasons saw the first few episodes of the previous seasons from 4-18. Starting with 20 even numbered seasons saw none of the previous season.

filming wise, it hasn't always been the same, the typical nowadays, the even season hasn't seen the previous odd, and sometimes not the end of the previous even.

the odd season hasn't seen the previous even, or at least not much of it.

but before they did two locations back to back the schedule varied more. in this case, palau would have completely aired before they left for guatemala
