"Kind of weak." Ha. That would be far too polite. In all my time watching this show (from Season 19: Samoa up to now), this right here [Season 29: San Juan Del Sur - Blood vs. Water 2] is by far the WORST. The cast is boring and unlikable. The gameplay is idiotic and uninspiring. The editing is terrible and inconsistent. There are no clear, likable fan favorites, no clear villains, and no clear strategic masterminds. The production value is terrible. Exile Island is terrible. The abundance of immunity idols is ridiculous, more so than in any of the past seasons combined. The "biggest" moves this season are inconsistent. The cast is a bunch of wimps, negotiating for food because they don't know a little concept called "rationing." The "major players" are overrated as heck. The few dumb Survivor fans who ARE still invested in this season are ridiculous bandwagon-riders who probably don't know what they're talking about. Overall, this season is one of the most depressing, infuriating, incompetent, unwatchable piles of drek that I've EVER seen from reality TV, TV in general, and by far from the series known as "Survivor." This season right here makes ONE WORLD look like a GEM.

...So, no. I'm kinda not a fan of this season.

In response to the second question, I follow my own rule of going strictly off of only the seasons I've watched. As such, I can't comment on such past players as Johnny FairPlay, Rob Cesternino, J.T., and other great players that I've never seen fully in action. So based on all 10 seasons I've watched (not counting the current abomination), I'd probably have to say that the best player I've seen yet is...Tyson. He made a ridiculously stupid move in HvV, but fully redeemed himself by winning the original BvW (which I predicted correctly, I might add. ;D). And what he really accomplished that Boston Rob or Kim never did, is that he had many strong, smart, challenging players as threats against him. Whereas Rob and Kim were merely dancing circles around all the other idiots in their respective seasons, Tyson had to overcome genuinely smart and stronger players, both veterans and newbies.

...But my personal favorite will always be Russell Hantz. <3
