Day 6: Most Overrated Survivor

Rupert Boneham

Fine, he is a likeable guy and an iconic contestant, but really he does very little well. He has no strategy at all, socially he annoys everyone but manages to get a good edit, and does not win challenges. Yes, he is strong and can fish, but the fact that he was America’s favorite Survivor annoys me. He is not a good player at all 

Day 5: Most Underrated Survivor

Todd Herzog

One of the best winners of the game, one of the best strategists ever. He gets very little love from fans, and has not been asked to play again. But look how small he is, how does someone that little win!? He was an amazing strategist, knew how to play the game, socially got along with everyone, and had arguably the best final tribal council performance ever. 

Day 4: Most Intelligent Survivor

This man is a genius. He played an extremely strategic game, and somehow managed to be loved. A total nerd, but was so modest and aware of his nerdiness. A great Survivor player, and he always knew exactly what to do. It’s a shame he has not played again. 

Day 3: Most Annoying Survivor 

Courtney Marit

This girl is freaking annoying! Heck she looks annoying! The first episode she cried over a dead turtle instead of building shelter. And every episode she annoyed the heck out of me, it was awful. I cannot re-watch season 12 because of her. 

Day 2: Funniest Survivor 

Rob Cesternino: funniest guy ever, his confessionals, group interactions, and personal interactions were all so funny! This guy made me laugh every episode without fail, hopefully he will get a third chance one day!

Saw this on facebook, every day for 39 days (the length of a Survivor season) I will give my opinion on a selected topic about Survivor. Today’s challenge is: 

Who is my Favorite Survivor? 

TOM WESTMAN

This man was a stud, no other way to describe him. He dominated his season unlike anyone else, including 5 individual immunities. A very kind and likeable guy who played with integrity, and just owned his season. This man is an everyday, as he was a firefighter chief for many years. It is hard not to love Tom, one of the greatest to ever play. 

WEEK 3

1.) Albert- He is going to hold this position for a long time, and even as a physical threat he has tools to navigate socially and go far. Watch out for him.

2.) Sophie- Gotta love her, seems to be well-rounded. She’s smart, tough, and put her head down to work. She is in a nice cozy spot.

3.) Ozzy- His tribe needs him, AND likes him. He wanted Cochran out, yet Cochran wants to align with him. Maybe playing the game 3 times does make a difference…

4.) Coach- Coincidentally, has always improved his game, interesting. He is the center of his alliance, but can he maintain control of it when the merge comes?

5.) Keith- Last episode showed that Keith is Ozzy’s right hand man, and made a great move aligning with Jim without mentioning his other alliance. Keith may potentially a young man on Survivor who uses his head (*fingers crossed*). 

6.) Rick- Right now momentum is on Upolu’s side, which really helps Rick out. His dislike of Coach has gone unnoticed by Coach, which will be interesting since they’re in the same alliance.

7.) Whitney- Good game or completely invisible? More time is needed to fully evaluate her, but fortunately for her she has more time for the foreseeable future. 

8.) Jim- Jim is splitting at the seams for a chance to be a leader/scheming backstabber. His ego is big, his schemes are bigger. At some point he will go after Ozzy, my money is on Ozzy to win that battle. 

9.) Elyse- On pace to be this season’s most invisible player, and we’re talking Purple Kelly like invisibility. I can easily see her on the jury, and unfortunately a chance for further due to her looks and quietness.

10.) Edna- She is aligned with Coach, but is not Upolu’s 5. She is not at the tribe’s bottom of the totem pole, but Coach has let people down before for the sake of “honor.” She needs to form another alliance within the 5 to stick around.

11.) Mikayla- Editing makes you think she is gone, I doubt that. She is a better social players than the cameras/Brandon are showing. He gunned for her and she did not get a vote. She will move back up in time, as she is very valuable in challenges and camp.

12.) Dawn- Dawn is much tougher than she looks. A breakdown early in Survivor can be overcome, and she can rebound, especially if she gets Ozzy on her side. 

13.) Cochran- Here’s some math: Cochran + friends with Keith x Ozzy’s right hand man = slightly better position than before. I am certain he will get another week. If he calms down he can be solid social and strategic player.

14.) Brandon- I don’t think he will be in any danger, but he is bringing too much upon himself in the long run. There is no chance he wins this thing, his best bet is the jury. Somewhere Russell Hantz is contemplating undoing Brandon’s work by going on Amazing Race. 

15.) Stacey- She has done very little wrong, but has had very little luck bounce her way (alliance, the clue, only ally voted off, etc.). She has the best chance of finding the idol though, and that is her only shot until she can find cover in an alliance. 

16.) Mark- I hate to do this, but something tells me that he’s next in his tribe, and his tribe is struggling. Unless the editing is deceiving us, he should be doing much socially.

REDEMPTION:

Christine- She’s from Long Island; therfore, she is ferocious. Semhar has no chance against anyone unless it’s a petry reciting or sobbing challenge. 

Brilliant Survivor Premiere, great start to the season!
