Ranking the best new player casts in Survivor history
Best Survivor Casts – Number 4: China (Season 15)
After a lackluster cast in Fiji, casting got back on track with Survivor: China, one of the best casts ever assembled. Here are the players we got from China:
- Todd (Winner)
- Courtney (Runner-Up)
- Amanda (Third Place)
- James
- Peih Gee
- Jean-Robert
- Jamie
When most people look back on China, there aren’t a ton of all-time WHOA moments (other than James getting voted out with two idols – that was pretty huge), but what helped this season was the tremendous cast.
Todd was an incredible winner and Amanda also made her debut on this season. She was a savvy contestant who did everything right, but couldn’t explain her game in front of the jury.
Courtney is arguably one of the funniest contestants EVER and showed that yes, women can be funny on Survivor. Her one-liners help make China the epic season that it is.
James was another fan favorite and despite him not being as fun to watch in his returning seasons, he was really funny on China. The confessional he has about Jamie holding onto the fake idol and thinking it was real still makes me laugh to this day.
Survivor needed a pick me up after Fiji‘s cast fell flat and they got it right with the group casted for Survivor: China.
