Surprised by some of these picks. They're noteworthy, but I feel 'iconic' only applies to some of them.

I started compiling iconic moments not too long ago just because I was wondering how many there were and (possibly) to make a poll out of it for the sub to rank them! This is my list so far. Tried to include all series as well (which I didn't really have to push in any way) as as many contestants as possible without stretching the definition of 'Iconic' too far. Also my memory can only get me so far. The bolded ones I feel are ones I'd consider to make up a 20 minute video.
