Heather Havrilesky Salon.com Sadly, though, there seemed to be a curse on this exotic land: The able-bodied players here were less entertaining than usual and the weak, negative players were more chumpy and unlikable than ever. Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Dalton Ross Entertainment Weekly It got better near the end, but it was still a case of too little, too late. The fact that so many unworthy players went so far is simply too damning. Mar 15, 2019 Full Review Joe Reid The Atlantic The tribes would have to elect a "leader," a completely arbitrary and toothless designation which only functioned to put a target on one person's back. Not that it stopped Probst from harping on the leaders' "failures" at every juncture. Mar 14, 2019 Full Review Michael Hewitt Orange County Register "Survivor: Gabon" must rank as the strangest of the show's 17 seasons. The inland location is part of it, along with the bizarre self-destructive tendencies of so many players Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Mark Bozon IGN Movies It was a great season, but one with some seriously terrible players, and some odd, odd switch-ups. Rated: 8/10 Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Mr. C "Survivor: Gabon" is full of petty drama, an explosive cast and little to no routable players, making it a hilarious train wreck which perfectly walks the line between ‘so bad its good' and ‘just plain amazing'. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
