And right off the bat we have Ben, our most recent winner – who played an excellent game of, well, being saved by an inexplicable (and completely dubious) Production Twist. Several contestants over the years have been famous for catching (or, in the case of Richard Hatch, BITING) sharks, but with the lengths production bent backwards to push Ben into that Final 3, this was the first time a season *jumped* it. You can say what you want about Michele, but she had an incredibly good read on what the jurors needed to hear, which is something neither Aubry nor Tai had going into the endgame. But the thing that impresses most about the Twinnie it’s okay to like is that her social game was SO. While she deserves props for constantly keeping herself positioned one up from the bottom, her actual win came solely down to the fact that Final Immunity winner Lil knew she couldn’t beat either of her opponents and figured that at least if she took Sandra to the end and gave her the win, the million dollars wouldn’t be as likely to be blown on blowjobs and blow (or strippers and coke, as it was put). While the Texan cowboy’s immunity wins got all the attention, it was really her ability to forge such unshakeably strong bonds with every single member of the post-merge tribe (well, besides Maneater Manthey anyway) that kept her core trio intact til the end. So, when he FINALLY CeCe Peniston’d his way to the (admittedly well fought) win on one of the more uneven playing fields in Survivor History, it couldn’t help but feel a little anti-climatic. Chris Underwood proved himself incapable of winning Survivor without first being voted out, given earned (and unearned) advantages, playing the social game with his fellow non-jury castaways, and without playing a full 39 days. Ryan Johnson is a writer based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Which, in actuality, tells you a lot about how far backward the editors had to bend over to make it seem like his win was anything other than a lock. The key to Kim’s game was keeping every single one of these players close, all of the time and never hesitating to cut them two moves ahead of schedule. Change ), SURVIVOR 36 : Ghost-Busting The Island Edit and Trying To Work Out Our Winner Picks →, Wow, the way my iPod’s shuffle is keeping my gym workout FED tonight.. Does that make her the worst player ever? During Micronesia, she formed a tight bond with Cirie and Amanda that defined the season. To be fair, Mike did a lot of things right in Survivor Worlds Apart, but damn if the things he did wrong weren’t inexplicably irrationally insane and would have been game-ending in the hands of anyone else less physically able. Plus, her push to vote Roger (and his blatantly anti-vagina agenda) out at Final 10 was the first real case of someone intentionally shaping the jury to their advantage at such a pivotal point. But Jesus Christ, when that is the best thing you can say about someone’s winning game, you know you’ve got some problems. Ryan enjoys movies, sports, and is an avid fan of Survivor. Along with Natalie White, Brkich is probably the most maligned of all Survivor winners but, if you rewatch the season, there are a lot of subtle and deliberate layers to her gameplay than often get remembered. File under :- ‘How To Win Half A Million Dollars Without Really Trying’. Nick was responsible for voting out John and formed tight social bonds, but his resume lacks any other big moves. Now this is a hard one (which, incidentally, is something that Amber Mariano is used to saying when she gets into bed most nights). Parvarti is one of those rare castaways who is good in all three facets of the game: socially, strategically, and physically. SHOULD HAVE WON : Pretty much anyone else in the Final 4. If we were ranking players based on their overall gamesmanship, we could have her as high as #1. Click through our 'Survivor: Winners at War' photo gallery that ranks the returning castaways from worst to best for Season 40. It makes sense that they’d ask us this, because we are the authorities when it comes to Survivor season rankings. Nick is one of those players that comes out of the gates strong, stumbles throughout the latter half of the game, and just happens to take the right individuals to the end. Everyone seems to forget that the Insider footage that year shows that it was actually Parvati who engineered her widely-lauded Coach boot, that ousting Courtney over Sandra basically came down to the equivalent of an emotional coin toss and, had been two seconds quicker in that nail-bitingly close final immunity challenge, Sandra would have done a Jordan Lloyd and been out at Final 4. Not bad!! He has been a storyteller his whole career and worked as a production assistant on several film and tv projects. Carolyn got a good edit but, well, Carolyn got a good EDIT. How to win $2,000,000.00 in 33 seconds or less :-. Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. 'Survivor' has had some impressive winners over 39 seasons. Gains points for pioneering and perfecting the “As Long As It Ain’t Me” voting strategy (Rob C in Survivor : Amazon played similarly, but not to the same blatantly mercenary effect Sandra did). Like some unearthly mix of Good Cop, Bad Cop and Tasmanian Devil, he wore more hats than a Village People Tribute Band, and was never less than thrilling to watch – both for casuals and die hard fans alike. A few big names are missing from the list, however, including first-ever winner Richard and fan favorites Tom and Todd. Playing advantages correctly is important in modern Survivor, but Ben's overall game is weaker than other winners who could have been brought back. Also known as the only two-time winner in Survivor’s 28 season history. Hands down the most maligned Survivor winner OF ALL TIME, due to her shocking (SHOCKING) defeat of Russell Hantz a few years back. However, unlike a lot of other players with similar Survivor winning game blind spots, at least Mike Holloway seems acutely aware of said critique, and actively played a game where this was a driving factor in his strategy. BEST MOVE : That string of Immunity Challenge wins was impressive any way you shake it – there was literally no challenge out there that Mike couldn’t put his whole back (and collar) into and pull out a win. While flashy, this type of gameplay is indicative of a weak social game. Ben may be one of the weaker winners in recent memory. Which isn’t to say that he didn’t play an excellent game but, well, there just seem to be a couple of small holes in it that stop it from being as high up here as a lot of other people seem to think it should be. Low placing or not though, there’s no way to deny that he might just be the most genuinely amusing person to ever play this game :-. Other than that, his best move was basically just his backstory, which is as nauseating a reason to win as you can get in modern Survivor. FINAL SCORE : 4-2-1 (Besting Human Sasspot Courtney and a not yet Livid-manda). There’s probably not a single win here we feel less enthused about than JC’s super solid win out there in the Second Chances jungle. Credit where credit is due, THAT Immunity Challenge performance at Final 3 was incredible, and she turned in a phenomenally confident Final Tribal Council performance (so confident in fact that no one seemed to notice she was either bullshitting or borderline delusional about her own performance in the game but, still, either or both of those things still would be better answers to those questions than HOW LEE DID). In fact, our season rankings are so well-known that they’re referenced in Wikipedia footnotes and complained about on r/Survivor. It’s a very dark place indeed. Even worse, right up to Day 55, Kristie legitimately seemed to have NO FREAKING IDEA that she was so close to being stuck on the pre-jury vacation for the rest of the duration of the game. Dragging a lonely goatherd to Finals is one thing, but managing to pull out a victory against truly worthy competitors is another level entirely. Please note, this is not a list of who is likely to win but rather an examination of their previous gameplay and how deserving it is to be included in an all-winners season. The third time was the charm for everyone’s favorite Man Tiara aficionado.

Tour our gallery above to scroll through our list of the worst “Survivor” seasons of all time, ranked from bad to worst. Sorry Rob, but your winning season scored poorly. Who? Shirin Oskooi (Survivor: Worlds Apart) While Shirin was definitely the victim of some totally uncalled-for, insensitive comments by her fellow cast mates (and losers-in-life, Dan and Will), the Yahoo executive from the White Collar tribe on the season that divided contestants according to their social class was nevertheless one of the more irritating players to have ever … Elite Survivor players aren’t just the ones who formulate the greatest game plan, but those that can most effectively recalibrate when luck doesn’t go their way. If allowed to get to the merge, she could very easily make it to the end again. Few contestants have ever played such a dominant physical and social game as Tom Westman. Once in the majority, Kim took control of the game. FINAL SCORE : 4-3. Her biggest strength is her ability to remain calm while fighting from the bottom. Voting out Neal from the Jury was 100% the right call too. So, without further ado, lets start from the bottom (and no, for once we DON’T mean Sash).. 35. Well, for every genius move Apostol executed (and there were many), there was an equal counter-blunder that he was lucky to survive. Would be higher if not for the fact that he was a few flames away (where’s Brice when you need him?) No, but she's certainly up there. So, yeah, basically anyone else but Kristie.

The way he shepherded his crazy Casaya family post-merge was truly impressive, even when he calming influence gave way to an often arrogant and hot head. I didn't see these coming--or if I did, I was surprised they happened at all. Easily the most aggressive Survivor winner ever, Tony moved the game into another gear with his play in Cagayan. BEST MOVE : Constantly keeping her alliance mates in check and sticking to the plan; Being a total asset in challenges and winning the key immunity that finally slayed Sir Ozzy of The Pleasure Dome; Cementing the fake Final 4 alliance that made Cochran so confident to flip in the first place; An EXCELLENT Final Tribal Council performance; “DROP YOUR DAMNED STACK”-gate; Generally just being amazingly honest, caustic and dryly hilarious. All of these are GOAT-worthy moves. Anyone else you think is undervalued (or, indeed, over)? Major props for being the only two-time winner (most likely ever) but major luck and a bitter jury played as much part in her second mill as did any actual game play or skill. And the way he weaponised the Axis Of Evil Alliance narrative into Jury Votes was good play (and saved the season). There are but a handful of players that you could count on to win any playing field, but this determined former Beauty Queen doesn’t need to be in Kansas to be The Girl Most Likely EVERY. Whilst his social game was just AWFUL, he did play an incredible strategic game and changed the way Survivor was played forever. SHOULD HAVE WON : Lex. Allegedly blew through his winnings in less than a year, he now spends his time getting charmingly arrested and starring in amazing C-grade homoerotic thrillers. And that’s about the nicest thing we’re going to say about his game, which was marginally better than Kristie’s in the sense that he DIDN’T ALMOST GET VOTED OUT PRE-MERGE WITHOUT EVEN REALISING. FINAL SCORE : 6-1-1 (against Blair Warner and whatever uninjured parts were left of Michael Skupkin-Magoo). Not as many women have won Survivor so her inclusion on this season is probably more out of necessity for gender balance than based on gameplay. So if Jeremy didn’t luck out with Spencer flipping on Stephen a round later, a seemingly memorable play would have signed his death warrant in the game. Is he the worst winner? BEST MOVE : Forming strong bonds with all of his fellow castaways, and doing so in a way that Ken & (especially) Hannah copped ALL the heat at FTC, despite it being an incredibly equal partnership the entire way.

His alliance slept in a nicer shelter and implemented the rule of two, where his alliance had to always go places in pairs to prevent the minority alliance from trying to speak to anyone individually. FINAL SCORE : 5-3 (Against Blandmanda – who, lets face it, just really isn’t cut out for sitting in front of a jury). Kathy, Neleh and Paschal all played stronger games yet illness, BJS and an accidental boob flash (because evidently peeing a man’s hand just wasn’t enough national exposure for our beloved Kathy), they all fell by the wayside, kinda like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but without the chocolate. Winning her way through the last few rounds of comps didn’t exactly hurt either. AMAZING. BEST MOVE : In addition to realizing the value of a voting alliance, he was the first to be a major food provider for the tribe and caught an impressive amount of fish and other sea creatures through his Survivor tenure.

The worst Survivor winner?

One of the most iconic winners ever of the history’s most watched season. Is it her fault that there was a production twist?
