      @@darriusbethea2373 yeah I think a big part of Maryanne not being a controversial winner is that she narrated her strategy. That it was shown to the audience so we knew that it was intentional. Maybe these other winners didn't say aloud to the cameras what their plan was. Gabler said in a bunch of his confessionals that he was hiding so it also was less of a surprise that he won by hiding.

      Gee, I wonder who the third was. She was so loud and in your face (in terms of her exuberance). I didn't want her to win at all. I slowly changed my mind after using her advantage during the racial discussion. She was willing to put her Survivor life on the line for her beliefs. I had so much respect for her and I started to look past the noise. She played and won the game on her terms. Not many Survivors can say that.

    A lot of the issues I have with the most controversial winners comes down to the editing of the season. Just show us more of each player and there will be more for us to look back on and analyze the road map to their victory rather than be pissed off that they won. No fan wants that.
    And Jeff, especially in recent seasons, assumes that by promoting the “play fast, take risks, & be cutthroat” strategy makes some people think thats how you play, but I would say most people go the other way and try to find a nuanced, subtle way to build their résumé. And thats really always been the way winners get to the end. It’s rare to be an obvious threat and still get the votes at the end.

    @JRJuggernaut1 ปีที่แล้ว +67

    I was waiting for this list and Part 1 did not disappoint! One thing I loved about your series covering each and every winner was that you could pinpoint how each and every player earned their win. For Sandra, she was not the dominant force of the season, but she did make moves that had the jury on her side at the end. And she was smart enough to stay aligned with Parvati and Russell knowing how they would be perceived compared to her should they all make FTC! For Amber, she aligned with someone who she knew would protect her while also being someone she could beat because of how the jury perceived his game! For Ben, who I am certain is in Part 2, the firemaking twist saved him sure, but it’s also important to note that he won the most jury votes because of the game he played to put him in such a position at the end! Frankly I wish he won that final immunity challenge he was so close to winning, just because his win would not be controversial and the firemaking twist would be far less disliked imo, plus Chrissy would stop complaining after doing so even 6 years after the fact 🙄

Russell was able to use both the heroes and villians to sway the votes however he wanted whenever he wanted.

Not to mention the fact that Russell got beat on the previous season before HvV by probably what will end up being #1 on this list, Natalie White-- then proceeds to go into HvV not even knowing whether he won or lost only for Sandra to undermine his and Parv's FAR MORE entertaining gameplay all season because she was either jealous or threatened by his gameplay-- and lets face facts she TRIED and FAILED to eliminate him all game long but still won the $1M?

    Me and my friends were some of the people on team “Xander was robbed”. When Jeff read the votes and announced Erica winner, we literally stared at the screen, silent, mouth agape for a solid 3 minutes. After watching back through the season, I’ve concluded that Erica must’ve been playing much harder socially and strategically than we were shown and she just got screwed by the edit. Even though we weren’t shown much of her game, throughout the season, other players kept throwing her name out there and saying she was a big threat and she was praised by the other players a final trial. Xander was given much more screen time and he was just really charismatic to watch so there was some bias towards him to win. In my humble opinion haha

During the reunion I was kind of baffled by the public opinion narrative that Bryant Gumbel was pushing.

    There are so many I wish would have won. But as you said, Tina (Season 2) played a great game. It took me a couple of seasons to realize this, Colby couldn't outplay Tina. The game was too cutthroat for him. I still think he'd take Tina today, even with him knowing he'd lose. Cody C on Big Brother took Derek the first time he played. I think he understood he wouldn't win with this decision. But he was too in his feelings and his character to choose Vernonica. After a few years, his philosophy on life and the game changed (it's a game that everyone agreed to play and knew the rules). The second time he took Enzo because Nicole might have enough votes to beat him. I wish Culpepper would have beat Sarah (but I'm a Gator and Buc fan). But I believed Sarah had the case for being a winner. Most of the players that won, I feel the same way.

      I honestly don't think it's as many people as you're making out. Because for every person that was pissed, there were two to three people like me that didn't understand how people thought she would win based on the edit. Like, Gabler winning was not clear from the edit at all, but in the moment I felt very strongly that the edit was showing that Cassidy wasn't the winner. There weren't any moments in the second half where she really was shown having agency or options, and all her achievements often were shown to us through the lense of what it meant for an entirely different player. The same for plans to get her out or drive a wedge between her and Karla, it was more about Karla. Now contrast that with all the times we see Gabler mentioning options, and people from all sides coming to him. In hindsight he had a shocking amount of agency on his place in the game and his one immunity win was turned into a big deal in the moment.
      As I said, being shocked Gabler won, I can get that. It was only in hindsight everything clicked for me. But I was basically 95% sure Cassidy wasn't winning. It felt more like people put stock in the supposed spoilers and tried to fit everything that happened into that box when it just didn't fit.

The editing does not make logical sense in giving the viewers an enjoyable experience. They seriously needed to decrease Xanders edit and increase Erika's. Just mild changes to the edit would have helped the season so much. Why didnt we see all the screen time with Heather and Erika building their bond, they were very close. The whole season was a joke.

I think Bob isn't all that controversial since the final 3 of Gabon is such a hodge podge of players so you could kinda just draw a random name out of a hat there and it'd make just about the same amount of sense, and Nicaragua's edit makes a decent case against Chase and Sash so I don't think Fabio was especially controversial, just not very respected.

      In all fair honesty, Aubrey did have a much better gameplay than Michelle. Heck, even Jeff Probst thought that Aubrey should have won the game along with the fan base. Not to mention Tai was also a close equal competitor of choice to win over Michelle. As with Natalie, she pretty much (road the coattails) stuck to the majority alliance and voted exactly how Russell was not only voting, but Russel also plotted just about every single vote. Not to mention, Russell Hantz not only won individual immunity challenges, but made the most insane idol finds and plays that Natalie never dared go for (except for killing a rat). And even though she did to a certain degree play smart with building a better social game than Russell. The legacy that Russell has set up holds very well to this day unlike Natalie. Thus, his 2nd place finished proved that the days of survivor winners Tina, Sandra's 2nd win, and Natalie's win of playing nice and fair are Dang near impossible today as they would have been in the early years of survivor.

Plus, if it wasn’t for Natalie convincing people to vote out Erik, her and Russel would’ve went out way before final 3. Russell doesn’t understand how to win the game. I still disagree about Aubry having better gameplay than Michele. Aubry was shown to be wishy washy and Tai just had a terrible end game. He was basically just a flipper.

Now, that sort of thinking is by far a minority take. Most fans of Survivor agree that Russell is actually not a good player because he fundamentally misunderstood how to win the game.
