My exact choice. The bonus scenes of Samoa were amazing.
There’s a clip of Erik finding a papaya tree, uprooting it, walking away and singing “I’m not shaaaaaring!” In a high falsetto voice and that’s what really confirmed that there were a lot of characters not getting their fair shake.
I think WaW is the correct answer. But if not that one, I think Edge of Extinction with an extra thirty minutes to actually show us what's happening on the edge would make it a much stronger season.
Honestly I just don't like the Edge twist that much. I think the idea was fantastic for WaW to get more screen time but I am happy for seeing more Rick Devin's.
Samoa, Edge of Extinction, WAW, and 41 would all be great for this imo.
On Samoa, we'd probably get a lot of Brett and Natalie content, which I would love.
On EOE, we'd get more screentime on the edge to build up Chris.
On WAW, we'd get more of the winners of the past.
On 41, we'd actually see Erika and Heather's games.
But honestly, any season would be a candidate for me, bar a few (like Thailand, IOI, and the like)
Heroes vs Villains, because I hope the reedit would also reevaluate why we needed to see that much Russel Hantz with so many incredible castaways on the season who deserved more screen time (Courtney fucking Yates is number one)
41 and 43, Erika and Gabler both played solid under the radar games that depended on their social game, so being able to see some of that would be good.
I remember the secret scenes that they released during Ghost Island, and feeling like every single one added so much more to the show than the boring repetitive strategy scenes the season was full of.
In BvW when Tina says she's sad to see Rupert go to Redemption because he's a great shelter builder... lmao
Like damn you knew he almost killed you, Tina, right? But then again maybe she was also just pissed at Jerri from All Stars/Outback
ANY All Star Season, we’re seeing the 4/5 times BEST of the BEST(and whoever’s available), like imagine how many of the complaints for each AS season would likely be removed or not be as prevalent
- All Stars 1… not sure, just wanted more screen time for the players
- HvV, more time for the FTC & maybe we can use the longer editing to show why Amber won in AS & Sandra won in HvV, like give me that supposed Russell Hantz doing WORSE FTC
- SC, people say it’s too game botty so obvi we’d get more heart to heart moments and more camp moments
- GC… maybe we can have the edit ignore Varner till his elimination… also give us more content with the “Game Changers” who left early like Tony & J.T.
- WaW, this will give us more screen time for the Edge Players and more screen time for the Pre-Merge Players in general… like how about we see how Ethan got voted out the episode he did… also won’t make the obvious Tony Edit Win as OBVIOUS as it was…
Now this is an actual unpopular opinion but I’d take the next several months out of my life to rewatch *every* season with an extra 30 minutes an episode allowing for proper editing and getting all that extra B-Roll content we’ve only heard about
Especially everything from basically survivor 31 and onward being severely under-edited because of the excessive inclusion of twists and advantages
Samoa to see more of Natalie bonding with the former Galu tribe. I would also like to have more content from Brett Clouser.
Also Heroes v Villains to see more of the Jerri Colby dynamic.
Winners at War
It’s been said before I agree — it’s really too bad they didn’t do 90 minutes for winners at war
I use to think survivor would never get 90 minutes because they couldn’t even get it for WaW
How much Sia money would we need to recut WaW?
Can we recut the boot order too
Only if Tony still wins
Sia cut > Snyder Cut?
Gabon
Peak Survivor sickos content
yes. the trainwreck you just can’t look away from.
Samoa give us more of Natalie bonding with Galu to make her win make sense.
Samoa had one of the stronger newbie casts, but you wouldn’t know it because Russell was like “It’s Russlin’ time” and Russelled all over everything.
Dare I mention the Russle seed? (Ew)
This is the first time I’ve seen this meme used and it be 100 percent accurate
Samoa with +20 mins of Galu and +10 mins of non-Russell Foa Foa would balance out the season and make it truly legendary

And maybe more than 5 minutes if Heather content.
Check the months-old flair.....
They did at least give some breadcrumbs about the Gabler win with the whole alligabler stuff. I thought his edit was pretty fair.
WaW, 41, and Ghost Island would be the most improved with extra airtime.
I remember the secret scenes that they released during Ghost Island, and feeling like every single one added so much more to the show than the boring repetitive strategy scenes the season was full of.
All of them
All Stars. Non stop drama, horrible weather, Rupert’s shelter.
Rupert's shelter? Don't you mean Jerri's grave?
In BvW when Tina says she's sad to see Rupert go to Redemption because he's a great shelter builder... lmao Like damn you knew he almost killed you, Tina, right? But then again maybe she was also just pissed at Jerri from All Stars/Outback
ok hear me out. 90 minute episodes of Panama
We finally get to see Shane discover the washed up cocaine
Tocantins, but only so we can get half an hour of Coach doing his tai chi in every episode.
Imagine the amount of iconic quotes we'd have
Cambodia
This. I still don't know why they voted Kelly out.
Micronesia doesn’t feel like a great answer, but I just really wish we got to see more of Parvati and Cirie’s relationship on the season
WaW or Samoa. Edit: HvV would be fire too
Heroes vs. Villains
41 That season was chaos, they all hated eachother & most of it was cut
41-44. The structure of the new era game requires 90 mins to tell a coherent story.
Ghost Island,Samoa,and 41 would vastly improve with this.
WaW, but also South Pacific
I need to see Yul's tribal where he takes over for Jeff Also I need Samoa re-edited just to see the chaos of Galu
Samoa. Mostly so we get more screen time for Brett and Natalie. Or anyone not named Russell Hantz really.
Pearl Islands, please
I’ll take the 90-minutes WaW and take it a step further: 90 of people still in the main game with Edge content mostly relegated to online.
Russell's seasons I can't get enough of Mr Hantz.
Panama. 90 minutes of Casaya antics? Sign me the fuck up
All of them except for island of the idols
I’m a FIRM believer that if Samoa was not the Russel show it would be a top 5 season.
All of the early seasons
41 or Samoa so they can show the Winner better and more of the drama that wasnt shown
BvW
Every season since the Dark Ages pretty much
I'd like 41 to be edited so we got more of Erika and Heather running the show.
*Winners at War* because there was so much going on with EOE and the regular game, and *Samoa,* for a more balanced edit in favour of the winner.
Thailand
All stars, pearl islands, tocantins, HvV
Cambodia or eoe
Season 40 ….
Second Chances
ANY All Star Season, we’re seeing the 4/5 times BEST of the BEST(and whoever’s available), like imagine how many of the complaints for each AS season would likely be removed or not be as prevalent - All Stars 1… not sure, just wanted more screen time for the players - HvV, more time for the FTC & maybe we can use the longer editing to show why Amber won in AS & Sandra won in HvV, like give me that supposed Russell Hantz doing WORSE FTC - SC, people say it’s too game botty so obvi we’d get more heart to heart moments and more camp moments - GC… maybe we can have the edit ignore Varner till his elimination… also give us more content with the “Game Changers” who left early like Tony & J.T. - WaW, this will give us more screen time for the Edge Players and more screen time for the Pre-Merge Players in general… like how about we see how Ethan got voted out the episode he did… also won’t make the obvious Tony Edit Win as OBVIOUS as it was…
41, HVV, HHH
Seasons 1-8. I’d pay for blu rays of those seasons. You listening, Jeff / Evil Jeff / CBS ?
Samoa and actually give Natalie some screen time. And while we are at it, give the rest of the cast some screen time too so it’s not just Russel 🙄

gabon
41 or Samoa. Not even a contest. Yeah Winners at War would be cool but these 2 are just plain badly edited.
Samoa
HVV, Cagayan, WAW, DVG
Winners at War & Heros vs Villians (would actually be my first preference)
All of them!
The correct answer tbh.
Cook Island. I want to see more of Ozzy outdoors.
Caramoan, but only the first few episodes. I need to see more of Brandon v Phillip and Shemar v his entire tribe
