【Peter North Jenna Jameson - Priceless (1995)】

Survivor returns tonight for its 33rd cycle,Peter North Jenna Jameson - Priceless (1995) and from the pre-season hype it could be one of the wildest seasons yet. Survivor: Millennials Vs. Gen-Xis literally a battle of the generations.

For the past eight years, I’ve been blogging about Survivor for People.com -- and have occasionally been joined by artist Erik Reichenbach. We’re both former contestants, and we also both have last names ending in -bach, so our collaboration just makes sense.

While Erik’s drawn comics for only a few seasons of the show, in that time he’s captured some of Survivor’s biggest characters and most memorable moments. I wanted to share a few of my favorites.

10. Tyson Becomes the Coconut Bandit

Coming into Survivor: Blood vs. Water, Tyson Apostol was notorious for establishing dominant early-game positions and then dramatically flaming out. On his third try, however, Tyson relaxed and had fun: he stole his tribe’s coconuts, he blindsided his allies and he even found an idol. He was rewarded for his fun-loving gameplay at the end with a million dollar check and the title of Sole Survivor.

9. Drew Christie: Strategic Badass

One of the most enjoyable parts of Survivoris watching arrogant people get their asses handed to them. Drew Christie was so certain he was the “kingpin” of Survivor: San Juan Del Surthat he threw a challenge to vote out a threat. “Basically, I’m a badass and a manipulator of this game,” he said. Ehhh...not so much. That night at Tribal Council, he was the one whose torch was snuffed.

8. Rupert Puts Candice to Work

When Rupert Boneham first appeared in Survivor: Pearl Islands, he stole America’s hearts with his piratical looks and wilderness savvy. A decade later, on his fourth outing, a 52-year-old Rupert didn’t have quite the same can-do spirit of his younger self. The one-time Blackbeard impersonator let Candice Cody forage for food on Redemption Island while he saved his strength.

7. Woo Goes #NinjaStealthMode & Steals Spencer’s Clue

Who doesn’t love an idol scramble? On Survivor: Cagayan, young lad Spencer Bledsoe found an idol clue at a reward and snuck away from camp to seek it out. Yung “Woo” Hwang put his martial arts training to use and ambushed Spencer, stealing the idol clue. Spencer tried to chase him down, but Woo bolted away, “Sonic the Hedgehog-style.”

6. Ciera Votes Out her Mom

The whole premise of Survivor: Blood vs. Waterwas to put relationships to the test when contestants faced their loved ones. But nobody seriously thought that a player would turn on a relative -- until Ciera Eastin voted out her own mom. You just know that the producers were high-fiving each other that night.

5. Colton Quits the Game

Silver spoon country clubber Colton Cumbie is one of Survivor’s biggest heels -- he holds the distinction of being the only player to quit the game twice. On One World, he feigned an injury to be medically evacuated. Then On Blood vs. Water, when it became clear that his tribe disliked him, he bowed out again. Here, Colton is visited by the ghosts of Survivor quitters past, who think he may be the biggest baby of all.

4. Tony’s Bottomless Bag of Tricks

Survivor: Cagayanchamp Tony Vlachos is possibly the most dynamic contestant the show has ever seen. Nobody knew quite what he would pull out of his “bag of tricks” at Tribal Council -- including two normal idols, as well as a “super idol” that let him save himself even after the votes were read.

3. Tony Builds His Spy Shack

Tony’s tricks didn’t end with his idol-finding superpowers. He also built a “spy shack” beside the tribe’s water well, where he would camp out for hours. He knew that players would often retreat to the well to strategize, so he could listen in on their conversations unobserved.

2. San Juan del Sur-ians Barter Goods with Jeff

Survivor contestants don’t get very much, so you guard your tools and you ration your food. But on Survivor: San Juan Del Sur, for the first time ever, the careless contestants bartered goods with Jeff Probst. After the Hunahpu tribe lost their flint, they traded their fishing gear for a new one. Later, when the voracious Hunahpus had eaten through their rice, they offered Jeff everything they had -- a hatchet, a hammer, flint, a pot and even their tarp -- for more food.

1. Ciera Goes to Rocks

It’s only happened twice in the history of the show: the contestants were so deadlocked on a vote, that they chose to draw rocks to determine who would go home. In Blood vs. Water, sassy Ciera (of mom-voting-out fame) realized at the final six that her allies were planning to do her dirty. She switched alliances and forced the dramatic tie-breaker -- though the move didn't help her. Ciera ally Katie Collins drew the dreaded white rock.
