I will say, Fabio earned Purple Kelly's vote. She may have quit, but she was really suffering out there. She was a recruit who wasn't allowed to wear clothes. Fabio loaned her his jacket. I like the idea that simple kindness can net you a vote.
@@vaporterra He has one of the most bizarre paths to victory but you should give credit to a man who both won three clutch immunities in a row to put himself at the final tribal, and really won over the jury with his final tribal performance. I will always say that every survivor winner has merit in their victory, and Fabio is no exception! There's just no denying though that his victory is a strange one in the history of this show, even if it is one many people love, myself included!
And even then from what I've heard, 2 of chases votes were from people, forgot who, who thought he was getting no votes and pitied him, so the right winner won at the end of the day.
Ozzy’s performance on Cook Islands really was impressive. He was way more than a challenge beast! The man has an ego but credit where credit is due! I would love to see Hannah come back for a second season, she was just a lovely presence on her season I am curious to see how she would fair a second time knowing she would probably once again be underestimated!
When I was watching this, my first thought when hannah came up was that I'd love to see her back on a returning season. I think she showed a lot of chops for the game, and I think she could do really well on her second time playing. I feel like she would be underestimated and that she would be able to slip by to the merge and then really start to play
@@emeraldbyrne4097 what's interesting is that many players often struggle as a returning player because they often can't get away with being underestimated twice. Take Kelley Wentworth, she played fantastically in Cambodia, but she also might not have performed as well if she wasn't such a lacking presence in her first season. Jeremy, by contrast, completely changed his strategy knowing he had to if he wanted any chance to make it far into the merge! Hannah, though, I think she could absolutely get away with being underestimated a second time, because she played a strong game, but not one that made her an obvious threat even in retrospect. Either way, I would love to see what she could do on a second attempt!
@@JRJuggernaut1 yes to all of this!! Fantastic points about Jeremy and wentworth. I think with Hannah, she has this perception of playing maybe a messy and ‘emotional’ game, where her agency and moves were questioned. I could just see players on the island forgetting just how well she maneuvered in season 33. I definitely would like another second chance season in the 40s, and Hannah is on my dream list of returners for that season
@@emeraldbyrne4097 thank you, I tried to make sure my explanation was easy to follow and both of those players are great examples of how two players can have very different but successful returning performances! As for Hannah, I always figured that because her game was not so flashy, it was harder for the jury to connect and see her as the strong force within the game that Adam was. Unlike other seasons where you could point out possible sexism in relation to how the jury perceived two different gendered finalists' games, this just felt like it came down to Adam playing a higher profile game, while Hannah was definitely in the forefront, but not so much that the jury felt she was a major presence. I think Peridiam said it best, Adam's game was all about being in control of the game, but never being the biggest threat. He always made sure that other bigger players would be taken out first! Still, respect to Hannah's game, which is easy to overlook but commendable all the same!
Just want to point out that Spencer had actually lost Kass' vote for his response. If you watch the "The Jury Speaks" segments, Kass states that she wants Spencer to acknowledge that he was wrong and that her way of playing (Chaos Kass) was not a game with "Zero percent chance of winning". While Spencer does show humility, he fails to acknowledge Kass' feelings as it seems that his remarks about her game really hurt her.
Chase had the best Final Tribal Council performance relative to his overall game, which was pretty weak. He was so good that he actually forced Fabio to step his game up in response, and Fabio delivered with a very good performance of his own. Ultimately, though, Chase was one of the most wishy-washy players in Survivor history. So it wasn't enough, thankfully. Fabio is a million times more entertaining and frankly the perfect winner for the underrated gem of a season known as Survivor Nicaragua.
Nicaragua was the first season I watched start to finish (the good old days that I actually had to sit in front of the tv to watch episodes at a specific time), so it'll always be my favourite no matter how much people diss it.
Chase did a good job of outlining the specific game moves he had to make though. Definitely wouldn’t call him wish washy. He made very intentional decisions whenever he flipped
Hannah might be (and act) a little too young, like an erratic youth that didn’t really know what she was doing and flipped flopped on a whim. Of course that’s not how she would describe her game, but that was the jury’s perception. Adam did a lot of the same but he acted more confident and rational and got more respect
I remember watching the season and FTC, thinking she’s a real chance. I never understood what Adam did that rendered his gameplay so far above Hannah’s. He arguably made a lot of missteps.
That and he claims production continuously tried to dissuade him from taking that shot! Not sure if it’s actually true but could believe it. But even then I don’t think Spencer would have been successful had he tried to take a shot, especially considering how good of an ally Jeremy was to him all season!
@@charlestoti2252 I don’t think he needed to get Abi-Maria to the end and Tasha was already drawing dead. With Wentworth, I think Spencer would’ve had a better chance against her then he did against Jeremy. It would’ve been a really close vote to say the least.
I think it’s notable to bring up how in S30 Mama C didn’t connect enough with the jury and allowed for Mike to play a hero role at the end. She could’ve pulled more votes at the end if she had a more impactful final tribal. By far my fav from that season.
In fairness though Mike didn’t need to do all that much to make his case. He was very openly in control of the game and his case was pretty clearly laid out for the jury to see! Mike’s social game wasn’t the strongest but it also was good enough to get him the win between that and his challenge beasting at the end! Still love Mama C but I don’t see much of a way for her to win in those circumstances!
I remember commenting this suggestion on one of your videos a while ago. I didn't know if you would actually do it. Thank you for doing this, even if it wasn't my comment that inspired you Keep doing your awesome work!
I wonder how well known it is that Chase is now a pretty successful country artist nowadays. Not many people in the country music world knows he was on survivor
Yeah, that tis still the most bizarre part of Survivor Nicaragua to me, the fact that one of the finalists later became a pretty successful country artist and is arguably the most famous person ever to have played survivor!
I think Spencer's problem with his FTC performance is how he continues to treat the castaways like they aren't people. He basically brushes off their frustration and resorts to using the same "I've grown, I've changed, and I've matured as a person, and that's why I deserve to win" answer to every question, which to the jury, is complete hogwash. It's kind of like how Russell refuses to acknowledge the flaws with his own gameplay whenever the jury confronted him about it, except Spencer isn't as defensive.
Aubrey lost because Jason and Scot are the worst survivor players of all time and refused to vote for Aubrey cuz they had sour grapes. They made this vow before the final jury even happened.
As much as the show and the edit dunked on Dreamz, I feel like he’s not a bad person. He never made any malicious insulting comments about anyone. He’s not very educated or sophisticated and backstabbed Yau. But I feel like if it was like Parvati or Tony that went back on the truck deal, they wouldn’t get as much hate
Aubry was never gonna win with Neal being kicked out the jury and Scot and Jason going into final tribal already voting for Michele. so much had to work against her but thankful her final tribal will always be recognised as one of the best!
My favorite moment Aubry's performance was when Michelle tried to take credit for a move, and Aubry straight up asked her if she knew what was going to happen at that tribal, to which Michelle replied no, invalidating everything she had just said. Aubry made an absolute fool out of Michelle and honestly that exchange alone should have won her the game.
I had to rewatch that question (and the whole FTC) before I responded but overall Aubry gave a strong performance, but Michele was def stronger in terms of articulating her growth and tying it into the theme as well as understanding how the jury perceived her game and argued it incredibly well. With the specific question you are referring to, Aubry shot herself in the foot with asking if Michele knew Cydney was getting votes BEFORE (Yes, Aubry asked Michele before she responded to Cydney's comment though I doubt it weakened Michele's response it def made it stronger) since Michele was able to reaffirm her social bond with Cydney AND make note of two key things (1) Michele could've flipped on Cydney for fire-making. She didn't. Regardless if she knew or not, Michele had the power to determine fire-making or not at that power probably got her 1 jury vote (2) Michele was then able to tell Cydney she would've saved her (which she even did with her actions) or fight to save her had she known. Quite honestly, it fits her narrative since Aubry/Tai wanted to keep Michele out the loop but Michele was able to make moves for her game that benefitted her and hindered Aubry who admitted she wanted Michele out but couldn't get her out (which happened a lot in the end game). Michele didn't even try to take credit for anything in regards to that specific question your referring to but she definiately turned Aubry's attempt to hinder her game into a pro for her game and honestly was probably Aubry's weakest part of her FTC.
The thing is, the jury didn't care about that, so it didn't do anything. Aubry mainly lost due to choices she made before Final Tribal Council, though (e.g. writing down Julia's name, voting out Jason instead of Michele at final six).
@@bigbuffguy9589 Aubrey lost because Scot/Jason/Julia's egos were hurt that she outplayed them. Nothing she could do about it, a truly robbed contestant
@@vaporterra we know but still, mfs and their egos are still very annoying.. they want the best to win but they theyre the best so they throw a hissy fit when they lose.
Mike actually had kind of a bad performance because he was conflicted about winning money he didn't need. I think that if he had actually put his full effort into Final Tribal Council the way he did the rest of the game, he would have won.
4:03 Natalie actually definitely DIDN'T know it, and, in an interview afterwards, expressed a lot of anger towards her edge of extinction buddies for not giving her the win. she even says in the interview that she was expecting it to be close, but was very surprised that she lost, and was completely blindsided that she lost by so much
The fact that there’s such thing as “edge of extinction buddies” is maddening to me. It’s kind of like students having secret relationships with their profs or exam proctors. It’s insane that one finalist get to spend that much time with the jury. Meanwhile some jurors never even met Michelle or Tony in the season
@@freddytang2128 completely agree. I'm frustrated she even got to be sitting there at final tribal, let alone actually got votes, and ESPECIALLY let alone her getting to the point where she actually EXPECTED the win
People have come out to say that she was a pain to live with on edge and that she frustrated yul.....YUL the most chill survivor winner ever she can't be that surprised
@@esdeathisbae9480 ikr...she thought she was such a BAB doing well on extinction and buying that idol for Tyson and everything, but basically everyone else has come out afterwards saying that she made like less than zero effort in her social game while on the edge
On one hand I get that the edge was used as a way to keep the big and memorable cast relevant the entire season, but I wish they just made the jury bigger instead of having the edge. As much as I was happy Chris won his season, that's more so because his competition did not outperform him in the final tribal. Natalie though I feel didn't do enough to justify her win over Tony and Michele knowing both of them played really strong games. Natalie played well, but she wasn't entitled to that win, and while I can understand the frustration of losing, she should put it in perspective that she made it that far despite initially being the first player voted out. In most seasons, she would have been done then and there, or if there had been redemption island, she at least would have had to win a bunch of duels to make it back! I love Natalie as a player but the entitlement she displayed was a bit much!
She definitely did not know. She thought she did so much to get to the end, when the truth was she mainly only got there by winning the final immunity. Besides that she was given an idol, found another, and never had much control over the game. Plus, the fact that Natalie was the first boot meant she contributed to the game the least out of all the players who had the chance to return to the game! I applaud her efforts and that she was close to winning, but Natalie almost felt entitled to win even against Michele and Tony and that never sat well with me even as a big fan of hers! Imo, if Natalie truly understood the position she was in coming back to the game, she would have done what Chris did and challenged Tony to firemaking to both eliminate her biggest threat and maximize her chances of winning. Chris took Rick out knowing he needed to make a big move to win and he did it because he knew without it his game wouldn’t have much merit. Natalie needed to recognize that as well but instead she decided she could win against anyone in that jury, which was obviously the wrong move! Love Natalie as a player but her game sense was way off here!
@@JRJuggernaut1 I might be wrong, but didn't the jury in EoE basically SAY that whoever would go back needed to do the fire-making thing to win? As in, it wasn't Chris' own, original idea to do it? Agree on Natalie's game though!
VIDEO SUGGESTIONS!!! Both are in the same vein as these performance videos you've been doing recently, which I have been LOVING! 1) " *Best NORMAL Tribal Council Performances that Changed the Vote AT Tribal Council* ." Basically people who were definitely going home or were about to see an alliance member go home, but their comments and arguments at tribal council flipped the vote at the last second. 2) On the flip side, " *Best Losing NORMAL Tribal Council Performances that ALMOST Changed the Vote AT Tribal Council* " maybe? This one may be a little too ambitious because there are a LOT of contenders, but, like, people who were on the chopping block and put up quite a good fight at tribal council and made a lot of people really think and consider what they said before the vote and afterwards and maybe really changed the game with what they said, but they still got voted out because they were doomed already by being too big of a threat or the vote already being decided with not enough people feeling comfortable switching their vote without being able to talk to their alliance or whatever.
I think there are few enough of the first category (I can only think of Hayden at (the first) F6 in BvW) that you'd have to merge the two lists. Nonetheless I think "best tribal council pitches" would be a good topic.
I really enjoyed Winners at war final tribal council and before it knew it will be good because they are already winners and know how ro speak and deliver a good explenation to what game they played.
An interesting video could be about missed opportunities in FTC. Aubry had a missed opportunity when she talked to Sydney. She could have pointed out that they wrote each other’s names down because they were the two biggest threats. That would have complimented both herself and Sydney and maybe even won Sydney and a couple other votes. I think Ozzy made a mistake by referring to himself as the Yul of his original tribe. He needed to differentiate himself from Yul, but that answer just made him look like Yul literally. There were a lot of missed opportunities in the classic era. Earl is the first person to tell an ally who would have beaten anyone at FTC, that he voted him (Yauman) out because he wouldn’t win against him. So many previous players just danced around the question. But that’s why Earl is one of the best winners with one of the best FTC.
PS: That ending? Even as a kid, I didn't understand that. Was she trying to treat him like he was stupid, or did she legitimately not know how many zeros there are in a million?
man there’s so many players from 33 and 35 that need to come back. Sadly I think those seasons will be too far back to be considered for the next returnee season.
That would’ve made it a 5-3 vote. How does that get her the win? Joe getting medevaced was what truly robbed her, as otherwise michele would’ve gone home at final 5. Though there is a chance everyone was still bitter and votes Joe over Aubry
Lmao Natalie did not “pull apart” Tony’s alliance, the game did. When you have an alliance of 5 people and you’re coming back from the edge with an idol it’s impossible for that alliance not to break
There were three spots at FTC and only Tony remained from his alliance. She absolutely pulled the alliance apart, had she taken out Tony she probably wins the season
You should do a video about australian survivor idk if uve watched it at all but you should definitely check out the heroes vs villans season just for george alone his game is scary good
Aubrey not winning is still mind blowing to me. I love Michelle but she had little to no control where Aubrey was basically running circles around everyone. The only other person who even holds a torch to her game is Sydney
Hannah and Chrissy should have won Survivor and I will stand on that hill forever. Adam won because of the emotion behind his story and Ben won because of his flashy idol plays. That's my opinion.
NO SPOILERS...but just to make double-sure, I'm-a do the four spaces thing. 10. WHY do I find them to be THE MOST attractive person to ever play? No, literally, I DON'T GET IT. But the fact that I like to look at them aside, I really wish this had netted the win...sigh. Intelligence can't always be appreciated, I guess...(goes off to pout). 9. Did this game help them AT ALL with the living situation? I wonder whether I could find out. Gods know that if anyone ever needed the money, they did. 8/7: Frankly, I want to see ANYONE beat (insert winner's name here) at a Final Tribal. Now THAT would be a worthy performance. 6. All of my love for this first time around, but it only went downhill from here. Poor them. But no, by the way, they're not stupid. It's just that they're SO physical that it might outweigh the intelligence factor for viewers. 5. They definitely own their game with grace, but considering who won, NO ONE was going to win otherwise, I'm sorry. 4/3: Okay...I had brain damage that lasted through multiple seasons in the mid-30's range, so I don't remember this too well, unfortunately. I DO remember that I didn't want that particular winner, but I'm fine with them now. Going off what they say here, though, they have some excellent-sounding resumes. 2. WHT?! Alright...I'll hear you out. Make it good. (After she hears you out), okay, I forgot about more than half those things. You make an excellent argument, sir. And anyways, better them that the OTHER runner-up... 1. Sigh...I was fine with who won, nothing against them or their game, but like I said for #10, can we appreciate intelligence a bit more? Well, no, that's not fair: A LOT of really smart people have won this game. I shouldn't overgeneralize. I suppose it had to do with who stepped on the fewest toes.
I swear, I want to like Chrissy for how hard she played to make that final tribal, along with tying the woman’s record for individual immunities, but her constant childish complaining about her loss, even 6 years later is ridiculous…. To really highlight how ridiculous she is, she tried to use Jesse’s defeat in S43 to illustrate how badly she was robbed. Now whatever you think about her season, the fact is Jesse didn’t lose because of the fire making twist, if anything it gave him a shot at winning he wouldn’t have had otherwise! Hard to believe a woman in her 50’s can still act like a child throwing a temper tantrum. Just take the loss and move on, most finalists have done that 🙄
To be quite frank, they learned from aubry's edit and made it clear to why Chrissy lost but truthfully Ben winning really shouldn't have happened lol. Also, I think its been confirmed in interviews that Chrissy vs. Ryan vs. Devon was gonna be much more closer (mainly cause the jury didn't know Devon's game that well). She should complain cause her loss and that entire season was very questionable come merge lol
@@funkycrawler619 Chrissy would have lost to Devon as long as he didn't completely bomb at Final Tribal Council. You are right that Ben only won because of late-game production interference, but the same is true of Yul and Parvati.
@@bigbuffguy9589 Parvati winning had more to do with the medevacs and a quit. Yul I am unsure of what you are referring to but no, Devon wasn't a guaranteed win. Several jurors confirmed that the jury was quite open had it been Devon vs. Ryan vs. Chrissy.
Honestly I am so glad that Ozzie never won. It is first season he was actually kind of a jerk in the beginning. Every season he was just so arrogant as well. In terms of his character at least on the show I never really was drawn to him at all.
Is liking Dreamz supposed to be some dumb Woke Zoomer thing? IDGI, first why do you have to be so personal by calling her an idiot? Seems like you are angry about how the world treated poor Dreamz. The dude literally stole a truck. You can have the New School opinion without calling people idiots about having Old School opinion. ALSO literally Survivor stopped giving away vehicles BECAUSE of Dreamz. So it obviously made a big deal in the world.
I will say, Fabio earned Purple Kelly's vote. She may have quit, but she was really suffering out there. She was a recruit who wasn't allowed to wear clothes. Fabio loaned her his jacket. I like the idea that simple kindness can net you a vote.
I’ll forever be happy that Fabio won, he was a fun character and makes for a unique winner
She had nothing left to suck

Regardless if she knew or not, Michele had the power to determine fire-making or not at that power probably got her 1 jury vote (2) Michele was then able to tell Cydney she would've saved her (which she even did with her actions) or fight to save her had she known. Quite honestly, it fits her narrative since Aubry/Tai wanted to keep Michele out the loop but Michele was able to make moves for her game that benefitted her and hindered Aubry who admitted she wanted Michele out but couldn't get her out (which happened a lot in the end game). Michele didn't even try to take credit for anything in regards to that specific question your referring to but she definiately turned Aubry's attempt to hinder her game into a pro for her game and honestly was probably Aubry's weakest part of her FTC.
The thing is, the jury didn't care about that, so it didn't do anything. Aubry mainly lost due to choices she made before Final Tribal Council, though (e.g. writing down Julia's name, voting out Jason instead of Michele at final six).
@@bigbuffguy9589 Aubrey lost because Scot/Jason/Julia's egos were hurt that she outplayed them. Nothing she could do about it, a truly robbed contestant
@@dbliss741 Jury management is part of the game
@@vaporterra we know but still, mfs and their egos are still very annoying.. they want the best to win but they theyre the best so they throw a hissy fit when they lose.
kind of surprised Mike White didn't show up in this ranking. great video though
Things worked out for him in the end!
riiight. I agree
Mike actually had kind of a bad performance because he was conflicted about winning money he didn't need. I think that if he had actually put his full effort into Final Tribal Council the way he did the rest of the game, he would have won.
4:03 Natalie actually definitely DIDN'T know it, and, in an interview afterwards, expressed a lot of anger towards her edge of extinction buddies for not giving her the win. she even says in the interview that she was expecting it to be close, but was very surprised that she lost, and was completely blindsided that she lost by so much
The fact that there’s such thing as “edge of extinction buddies” is maddening to me. It’s kind of like students having secret relationships with their profs or exam proctors. It’s insane that one finalist get to spend that much time with the jury. Meanwhile some jurors never even met Michelle or Tony in the season
@@freddytang2128 completely agree. I'm frustrated she even got to be sitting there at final tribal, let alone actually got votes, and ESPECIALLY let alone her getting to the point where she actually EXPECTED the win
People have come out to say that she was a pain to live with on edge and that she frustrated yul.....YUL the most chill survivor winner ever she can't be that surprised
@@esdeathisbae9480 ikr...she thought she was such a BAB doing well on extinction and buying that idol for Tyson and everything, but basically everyone else has come out afterwards saying that she made like less than zero effort in her social game while on the edge
On one hand I get that the edge was used as a way to keep the big and memorable cast relevant the entire season, but I wish they just made the jury bigger instead of having the edge. As much as I was happy Chris won his season, that's more so because his competition did not outperform him in the final tribal. Natalie though I feel didn't do enough to justify her win over Tony and Michele knowing both of them played really strong games. Natalie played well, but she wasn't entitled to that win, and while I can understand the frustration of losing, she should put it in perspective that she made it that far despite initially being the first player voted out. In most seasons, she would have been done then and there, or if there had been redemption island, she at least would have had to win a bunch of duels to make it back! I love Natalie as a player but the entitlement she displayed was a bit much!
Im not sure Natalie knew she was fighting a losing battle in the WAW final tribal. At the very least, she thought her and Tony were relatively even
She definitely did not know. She thought she did so much to get to the end, when the truth was she mainly only got there by winning the final immunity. Besides that she was given an idol, found another, and never had much control over the game. Plus, the fact that Natalie was the first boot meant she contributed to the game the least out of all the players who had the chance to return to the game! I applaud her efforts and that she was close to winning, but Natalie almost felt entitled to win even against Michele and Tony and that never sat well with me even as a big fan of hers!
Imo, if Natalie truly understood the position she was in coming back to the game, she would have done what Chris did and challenged Tony to firemaking to both eliminate her biggest threat and maximize her chances of winning. Chris took Rick out knowing he needed to make a big move to win and he did it because he knew without it his game wouldn’t have much merit. Natalie needed to recognize that as well but instead she decided she could win against anyone in that jury, which was obviously the wrong move! Love Natalie as a player but her game sense was way off here!
@@JRJuggernaut1 I might be wrong, but didn't the jury in EoE basically SAY that whoever would go back needed to do the fire-making thing to win? As in, it wasn't Chris' own, original idea to do it? Agree on Natalie's game though!
VIDEO SUGGESTIONS!!!
Both are in the same vein as these performance videos you've been doing recently, which I have been LOVING!
1) " *Best NORMAL Tribal Council Performances that Changed the Vote AT Tribal Council* ." Basically people who were definitely going home or were about to see an alliance member go home, but their comments and arguments at tribal council flipped the vote at the last second.
2) On the flip side, " *Best Losing NORMAL Tribal Council Performances that ALMOST Changed the Vote AT Tribal Council* " maybe? This one may be a little too ambitious because there are a LOT of contenders, but, like, people who were on the chopping block and put up quite a good fight at tribal council and made a lot of people really think and consider what they said before the vote and afterwards and maybe really changed the game with what they said, but they still got voted out because they were doomed already by being too big of a threat or the vote already being decided with not enough people feeling comfortable switching their vote without being able to talk to their alliance or whatever.
I think there are few enough of the first category (I can only think of Hayden at (the first) F6 in BvW) that you'd have to merge the two lists. Nonetheless I think "best tribal council pitches" would be a good topic.
I really enjoyed Winners at war final tribal council and before it knew it will be good because they are already winners and know how ro speak and deliver a good explenation to what game they played.
Worth noting that Ozzy would’ve won if it wasn’t for the deal that Adam had made with Yul earlier in the game
My favourite losing finalists are Fishbach, Aubrey, Hannah & Owen.
An interesting video could be about missed opportunities in FTC.
Aubry had a missed opportunity when she talked to Sydney. She could have pointed out that they wrote each other’s names down because they were the two biggest threats. That would have complimented both herself and Sydney and maybe even won Sydney and a couple other votes.
I think Ozzy made a mistake by referring to himself as the Yul of his original tribe. He needed to differentiate himself from Yul, but that answer just made him look like Yul literally.
There were a lot of missed opportunities in the classic era. Earl is the first person to tell an ally who would have beaten anyone at FTC, that he voted him (Yauman) out because he wouldn’t win against him. So many previous players just danced around the question. But that’s why Earl is one of the best winners with one of the best FTC.
I would've called you out if you left Michele's S40 performance off of this list.
I'm a little surprised that Boston Rob didn't get on the top 20
Rob’s final tribal council performance in all stars was terrible
Because it sucked.
what's Dreamz up to these days?! I want to see him play again SO BADLY.
You should do a top 20 of the Worst performances now
I think that was done already but not 100% certain.
Top 3 prediction:
Amanda, China
Amanda, Micronesia
Natalie, Redemption Island.
Not quite a psychic there, bud.
Amandas final tribals are both horrible and are a big reason why she never won.
@@adamsalisbury9052 that's the joke, he had Nat from RI as his third lmao
Show some respect to Mick Trimming
You almost nailed it
PS: That ending? Even as a kid, I didn't understand that. Was she trying to treat him like he was stupid, or did she legitimately not know how many zeros there are in a million?
It’s an interesting move to put MOST of the perfect game non-winners on this list
man there’s so many players from 33 and 35 that need to come back. Sadly I think those seasons will be too far back to be considered for the next returnee season.
If Neal isn't voted off the jury I truly think that Aubry squeezes that one out. Truly the most robbed out of any season.
That would’ve made it a 5-3 vote. How does that get her the win? Joe getting medevaced was what truly robbed her, as otherwise michele would’ve gone home at final 5. Though there is a chance everyone was still bitter and votes Joe over Aubry
Lmao Natalie did not “pull apart” Tony’s alliance, the game did. When you have an alliance of 5 people and you’re coming back from the edge with an idol it’s impossible for that alliance not to break
There were three spots at FTC and only Tony remained from his alliance. She absolutely pulled the alliance apart, had she taken out Tony she probably wins the season
Then explain Sarah voting out Ben, what did that have to do with an idol?
@@vaporterra the better question is what did that have to do with Natalie? And the answer is nothing
@@dbliss741 Natalie did not survive a single vote without immunity. She played a terrible game and had no right winning
You should do a video about australian survivor idk if uve watched it at all but you should definitely check out the heroes vs villans season just for george alone his game is scary good
Aubry had a good speech... but I stil think Michele had a better one
Hannah has always been one of my favorite players
Where is Mick Trimming?!?!?!
Aubrey not winning is still mind blowing to me. I love Michelle but she had little to no control where Aubrey was basically running circles around everyone. The only other person who even holds a torch to her game is Sydney
No Amanda from either season. Savage lol
Because both of her performances were shit.
Ozzy is number one to me
No Russell☹️?
Russell showed very little self awareness in his tribals
His two final tribals (especially second one) could be in another video for “what not to do at final tribal”
I personally thought that Russell's performance in Samoa blew all of these out of the water. I really thought he might get every jury vote.
Dreamz could’ve won s43 😂
Chrissy would never win given the jury did not want to give a IB vet $1 million.
Hannah and Chrissy should have won Survivor and I will stand on that hill forever. Adam won because of the emotion behind his story and Ben won because of his flashy idol plays. That's my opinion.
Adam didn't win because of his story. The jury was voting for him before they knew his story.
Chrissy or Ryan should've definitely won 35, though.
NO SPOILERS...but just to make double-sure, I'm-a do the four spaces thing.
10. WHY do I find them to be THE MOST attractive person to ever play? No, literally, I DON'T GET IT. But the fact that I like to look at them aside, I really wish this had netted the win...sigh. Intelligence can't always be appreciated, I guess...(goes off to pout).
9. Did this game help them AT ALL with the living situation? I wonder whether I could find out. Gods know that if anyone ever needed the money, they did.
8/7: Frankly, I want to see ANYONE beat (insert winner's name here) at a Final Tribal. Now THAT would be a worthy performance.
6. All of my love for this first time around, but it only went downhill from here. Poor them. But no, by the way, they're not stupid. It's just that they're SO physical that it might outweigh the intelligence factor for viewers.
5. They definitely own their game with grace, but considering who won, NO ONE was going to win otherwise, I'm sorry.
4/3: Okay...I had brain damage that lasted through multiple seasons in the mid-30's range, so I don't remember this too well, unfortunately. I DO remember that I didn't want that particular winner, but I'm fine with them now. Going off what they say here, though, they have some excellent-sounding resumes.
2. WHT?! Alright...I'll hear you out. Make it good. (After she hears you out), okay, I forgot about more than half those things. You make an excellent argument, sir. And anyways, better them that the OTHER runner-up...
1. Sigh...I was fine with who won, nothing against them or their game, but like I said for #10, can we appreciate intelligence a bit more? Well, no, that's not fair: A LOT of really smart people have won this game. I shouldn't overgeneralize. I suppose it had to do with who stepped on the fewest toes.
💖
I swear, I want to like Chrissy for how hard she played to make that final tribal, along with tying the woman’s record for individual immunities, but her constant childish complaining about her loss, even 6 years later is ridiculous…. To really highlight how ridiculous she is, she tried to use Jesse’s defeat in S43 to illustrate how badly she was robbed. Now whatever you think about her season, the fact is Jesse didn’t lose because of the fire making twist, if anything it gave him a shot at winning he wouldn’t have had otherwise! Hard to believe a woman in her 50’s can still act like a child throwing a temper tantrum. Just take the loss and move on, most finalists have done that 🙄
To be quite frank, they learned from aubry's edit and made it clear to why Chrissy lost but truthfully Ben winning really shouldn't have happened lol. Also, I think its been confirmed in interviews that Chrissy vs. Ryan vs. Devon was gonna be much more closer (mainly cause the jury didn't know Devon's game that well). She should complain cause her loss and that entire season was very questionable come merge lol
@@funkycrawler619 agreed. Ben was given it
@@funkycrawler619 Chrissy would have lost to Devon as long as he didn't completely bomb at Final Tribal Council. You are right that Ben only won because of late-game production interference, but the same is true of Yul and Parvati.
@@bigbuffguy9589 Parvati winning had more to do with the medevacs and a quit. Yul I am unsure of what you are referring to but no, Devon wasn't a guaranteed win. Several jurors confirmed that the jury was quite open had it been Devon vs. Ryan vs. Chrissy.
@@funkycrawler619 They're referring to the double vote out twist that was the sole reason Yul's tribe wasn't Pagonged.
Honestly I am so glad that Ozzie never won. It is first season he was actually kind of a jerk in the beginning. Every season he was just so arrogant as well. In terms of his character at least on the show I never really was drawn to him at all.
First!
being first in survivor is a bad thing ;p
Mike white = robbed
To be fair Mike didn’t really try to win at final tribal. So he is a special case
Is liking Dreamz supposed to be some dumb Woke Zoomer thing? IDGI, first why do you have to be so personal by calling her an idiot? Seems like you are angry about how the world treated poor Dreamz. The dude literally stole a truck. You can have the New School opinion without calling people idiots about having Old School opinion. ALSO literally Survivor stopped giving away vehicles BECAUSE of Dreamz. So it obviously made a big deal in the world.
He did not "literally" steal a truck. And where did anyone call Lisi an idiot? If that's what your comment even means.
He called Lisa an idiot because she is one 💀 A bag of rocks could outwit her. She doesn’t even know how many 0’s are in a million.
I still feel bad for Aubry. 😥
