Reception
Survivor: Greece received very mixed reviews upon completion.
Fans were either mixed or positive about the cast; they found them to have a good variety of personalities and gameplay, and good activity. However, some players were later criticized for their poor sportsmanship towards others during the season. Notables included Alyssa, Drew, Cosmic, Amity, Max, CeCe, and Zoey.
The pre-merge had mixed views from fans. They enjoyed the neck and neck challenges and the double swaps, and some of the vote-offs surprised people. The dominance of the big names received mixed reviews; some liked seeing the big names still around, while others felt it was boring seeing the newbies go one by one and wanted something to change. The end of the phase surprised everyone with the Trials of Olympus twist. Not everyone was a fan of it, but some audience members were happy that Alyssa got another chance, though others were sad for Ty.
The merge earned praise for its entertaining performances by the cast, from Alyssa’s revenge, to the successful idol plays ousting two strong players, to the feuds that formed between the other castaways, especially Max and Zoey.
Out of the final five, fans agreed that Amity and Drew were the two strongest players compared to Andrea, Dean and Zoey. However, much like Seasons 6 and 7, both were voted out; Drew was idoled out, while Amity lost to a sword fight with Dean. At the Final Tribal Council, most were not impressed with the final three, due to either being dubbed “sheep”, “boring”, or overall “bad”. The jury was convinced that Zoey played the better game, giving her the win with a 9-1-0 vote. The audience was either very supportive or mixed about her victory.
Penn ranked Greece as his new favourite season, beating Panama. He knew while some may differ from him as a player, as a host he felt that everything went perfectly, from the twist's secrecy, to the cast's activity, gameplay, and the season's winner.
