Each new season of Survivor we're gifted one or two incredible characters that create a memorable moment or deliver an iconic quote that sticks with us forever. This season, however, we were given one of the all-around wittiest casts in Survivor history, dropping lines that I still can't get out of my head—I've been singing, "my enemies are plottin'" far too much for someone without actual enemies.

So what were the stand out quotes from Survivor 48? Well, there were too many for me to include here, but I narrowed it down to the best of the best because honestly, I can't believe some of these things were said on national television...see for yourself!
