Came from the Survivor subreddit - great video! Feel like Jake definitely should've been on the Survivor 45 cover though - pretty big part of the season, and a big fan favorite. I love Julie, but I think I'd replace her with Jake.
You just might be right! When I was making the list I was thinking gameplay, but Jake did provide so much entertainment and it seems entertainment makes the covers. He also really came into his own the final few rounds! Thanks for watching
As a physical media guy, collecting these are quite expensive. Currently I own 30/43 that are released. Kind of weird 44 and 45 aren’t announced yet when the rest of the new era dvds came out pretty quickly after the season. I haven’t even started collecting Amazing Race either! 😭
30/43 is a dream. Since this video I have bought 5. Ahh!! lol it is addicting. I hope someday it all gets released. Really a shame if they stop at 43. Amazing Race DVDs would be fun. I would love to own Season 31. Battle of CBS!
7:59 Candice did not get 20th place in Blood vs Water. Because of Redemption Island, Rupert/Colton/Rachel/Marissa were all out of the game officially before her, making her 16th Place overall. It's still weird she was on the cover in the first place though.
Thanks for the correction! It’s been a while and honestly different wikis get screwed up when it came to redemption island. Very strange though that she’s on there!
it's still weird she's a 3 time player. it's weird she's a 2 time player but there have been enough people that became legends on their second time that it's understandable, but 3? couldn't they have found a better alternate for bww?
As someone who likes Candice, I was even surprised by her HvV return. Especially for the heroes (I’ve heard they had to switch her with Parvati tho to avoid black widow 2.0) Blood V Water return is an anomaly, however it kinda fits with the random returnees they got
I had a friend get spoiled watching China by the DVD cover. So I had him watch Pearl Islands to make it seem like the winner isn't always in the center. Kinda worked LMAO
LMAOOO I guess the PI DVD is good for something at the very least! It be funny if your friend just assumed Rupert won and then saw him get booted so soon
The taste!! But omfg yes Rupert being top center instead of Sandra has always bugged me. Like I get it, he was massively popular at the time (and lowkey still is?), but the consistency is ruined 😫 Also I somehow did not realize that they were still making dvds of the seasons and definitely didn’t realize that they stopped putting the cast on the cover. Talk about making the new era even more indistinguishable. Love your picks for who to put on!
As a canadian Survivor fan I paid for Paramount Plus when it was CBS All Access, but when it rebranded that's when they limited the season viewing. I cancelled right after lol
That sucks!! I really hope they figure it out one day. That’s why physical media rules 😎 It is funny I was in the middle of watching The Amazon for the first time and BAM just gone!
Pointless fun fact: Since Amber is still top center in the All-Stars cover, Jeremy is the closest thing to top center on the Cambodia cover and the two of the other seasons that don't have winners in top center are two time winners, means that Tommy Seehan is the only winner in the first 40 seasons to not have a top center slot in the DVD cover ever.
I didn’t even think of that! So true. Poor Tommy. Even though he was kinda a boring presence, his game is top tier, and no representation on that DVD cover at all! 😂
I had actually gotten out of Survivor for a while, and Gabon was actually the first season I had watched in full since All-Stars. What a weird way to get into. (Or in my case back into) the show. DVD wise I bought Pearl Islands and Amazon back not long after they came out, and then years later I bought the DVDs of all the seasons I had skipped, Vanuatu through Micronesia. Weirdly it made it so that those have become some of my favorite seasons. Few people love Fiji and Guatemala like I do. Anyway, great content. From the Aysha shout I figure you’re an RHAP listener, and I gotta show some love to a fellow Cesternino fan.
@@NDeezy that’s such a unique story and way to get back into survivor. Potentially the messiest season ever. I’ll have to watch 11 and 14 with that lens in mind. With the Canadian streaming rights and spotty online links, those were some of the seasons I haven’t fully seen all the way through. I’ll keep that in mind if I get them on DVD! Hey! That’s awesome. Hoping some people would understand the Aysha reference. RHAP is a masterclass and ROB C is an all time fav. Got a few chances to chat with him when I was a patron and he’s just the best. Glad a fellow RHAPer is showing some love!
Spent $40 on the Gabon DVD. In fact, I own all 43 seasons on DVD. The cover heads have always fascinated me. I always wondered who would've gone on seasons 8, 31, 39 and 40. and the Rupert middle thing always bothered me so much.
All 43! That’s awesome. It’s starting to become that. While in production of this video, I purchased Pearl Islands, Gabon, HVV and Tocantins. It’s starting to become a collection and idk if I’ll be able to stop! They are so Facinating. I agree. Rupert is so random on the middle
I am a 44 enjoyer and it’s a real bummer. Here’s to hoping they randomly release it in the future. Back to the Og Covers! Would nice to see some Blu Ray releases again as well, but doubt it
the Gabon AV is very good... but can I point your direction to the Nicaragua unused version. Truly unfortunate the salsa inspired version never got used for any of the seasons filmed in Nicaragua!
Big time alternates. When I was editing and coming up with my list. 45 was the most difficult one. Honestly I’d be fine with swapping out Bruce and Julie or Bruce and Kaleb for those 2
@@BiemanTV I’m just saying I think Jake did a lot more for the season than Julie! She was just part of the week of five and that was it. Jake tried and fell misery because nobody else wanted to play the year game their all wanted to play follow the leader!
@@BiemanTV Like Kelley in SDJS, Monica in One World, and Francesca in RI are questionable but those seem to based on the biases of like "Anyone who returns by the time the cover is made who isn't a prodcution persona non-granda will make the DVD cover", I guess their could be like attempts to make the covers more diverse, but like Ghandia could be easily swapped for Ted and make marginal sense, and like Cirie is already on the Panama cover and obviously belongs and like they didn't even put Crystal on the Gabon cover, and put Candice on BvW over Gervase (and Monica bizarrely so it's not a gender balance thing)
Looking at the final 6 of S43 made me remember my pre season winner prediction as I guess ~20% of the cast to win* and I predicted that all the men except Jesse to win *guessed 3/18
Okay but Gabon is 100% what I would pick given the chance to own just one 😅 not only is it peak chaos but it's in ~HD~ for god's sake....gotta pay respect where it's due.
Oh no!! I hate region locked DVDs. Hoping if physical media survives that goes away and everyone can own a universal dvd 😂😂 you’ll just have to bootleg your own copy and put your 6 favs from Gabon on the cover ;)
there is nothing i support more than an obsession of a group of strangers stuck on an island
Right!! 😂😂 hey I understood that reference! (Seriously everyone reading this, check out Lars’s 7 Hour ‘Lost’ Deep Dive!! It’s a treat)
One thing about you, my friend… you know your audience
Hahaha Thank You Legend. Would you have you on the 45 Cover
The 46 cover art should add Jelinsky so it has several people on it.
@@PenguinPat 😂😂😂 that’s so funny I wish I would of thought of it. You’re right!

honestly this video is so real
They stopped making season dvds for it after Season 43, i was looking foward to getting Season 44 on dvd
I am a 44 enjoyer and it’s a real bummer. Here’s to hoping they randomly release it in the future. Back to the Og Covers! Would nice to see some Blu Ray releases again as well, but doubt it
Awesome video!!! Gabon was also my first season!! ( Best version of ancient voices )
That’s awesome!! And I agree. I remember putting that version on my MP3 player and listening to it in class!
the Gabon AV is very good... but can I point your direction to the Nicaragua unused version. Truly unfortunate the salsa inspired version never got used for any of the seasons filmed in Nicaragua!
Awesome!
No Jake or Katurah on 45 ?
i had the same thought but tbh that's a STACKED season in terms of front cover worthy characters
Big time alternates. When I was editing and coming up with my list. 45 was the most difficult one. Honestly I’d be fine with swapping out Bruce and Julie or Bruce and Kaleb for those 2
Exactly. In terms of who cabs would put on the cover I think they’d be skipped, but either way i would of took them on there too
So even you got a disrespect Jake!
We do it to ourselves unfortunately 😭😭😭
@@BiemanTV I’m just saying I think Jake did a lot more for the season than Julie! She was just part of the week of five and that was it. Jake tried and fell misery because nobody else wanted to play the year game their all wanted to play follow the leader!
Ghandia made the DVD cover and is in the fan favourite slot! Bring her back for S50
Username checks out! Lol but yeah if anyone deserves another go that isn’t tainted it’s Ghandia!
How dare you not point the bizarrity of Bob Dawg and ghanda on their DVD covers
Hahahaha it was Soo close to making the video. In my research I was truly like “wtffffff”
There is so much more odd about the DVDs like the special features it very well could force me a part 2 where they will be mentioned lol

You have an infatuation with survivor? I could never tell.
@@creative_commander4973 I mask it pretty well 😉 I guess it’s time to come clean!
Nice name
Right back at ya. Us Jake’s need to stick together!
Great video
Great vid!
Thanks so much!
Jake robbed for the 45 cover
As a fellow Jake who loved him, it hurt me as well to not include him
i love brandon donlon in all 6 spots. i cackled lol
also: pirating from paramount is always morally correct
Hahaha when I knew I was going to do the 41-46 DVD covers that idea came to me and I included it WITHOUT QUESTION!
👏👏👏
Looking at the final 6 of S43 made me remember my pre season winner prediction as I guess ~20% of the cast to win* and I predicted that all the men except Jesse to win
*guessed 3/18
That survivor dream…is oddly real. Have had my own fair share running into in Gabon, china, Samoa and the sorts just to wake up
I wonder what it is about Survivor between the realms…
Okay but Gabon is 100% what I would pick given the chance to own just one 😅 not only is it peak chaos but it's in ~HD~ for god's sake....gotta pay respect where it's due.
The whole cast hates each other WHILE there’s an elephant by camp?? This season is… CAMP! So good
I hate survivor dvds cos im from the uk and paid like £60 for gabon and it didnt work in my dvd player 😭 😂
Oh no!! I hate region locked DVDs. Hoping if physical media survives that goes away and everyone can own a universal dvd 😂😂 you’ll just have to bootleg your own copy and put your 6 favs from Gabon on the cover ;)
Awesome!!
Thanks for the love Sean!
