    I’m so glad that people recognize how great Yul’s performance in Cook Islands is. Honestly, in the dark times of Survivor, some viewers would’ve danced the sugarplum fairy in order to get a winner like Yul in one of those seasons. His game was that ahead of its time.

He forces Jonathan to go with Aitu and then votes him off anyway, he perfectly blindsides Cao-Boi to protect his idol after using his alliance to figure out its weakness and destroy it, and he found it with ease (the quickest super idol ever found). Everything else about his game is astounding, his jury management is perfect, his strategy, social game and alliance making and even challenge prowess is all brilliant. He is a one of the GOATs

      I love Jeremy but if he didn’t need to make his big confession to win than I wish he hadn’t done so. It’s bad optics when the jury votes for someone after learning something about him or her that has nothing to do with the show.
      I love Spencer too and am forever going back and forth on whether I would have preferred seeing him win instead, but it’s a moot point since apparently he was never in it.
      I hate how when Tasha is asked what she did to show agency in the game she claims to have been riding Spencer’s coattails and doesn’t even mention how she saved herself from near-certain elimination when she was swapped to the expansion tribe. It’s one of the most skillful squeezes through a tight space that I’ve ever seen.

    I feel like Parvati had the best winning strategy HANDS DOWN! I personally wouldn’t say she’s #6 but a brilliant strategy. I feel like her game is the best for modern Survivor: Actively burn a early jury to paint yourself as a jury goat. This is risky but it paved the road for her endgame as she was a #1 to everyone within her alliance and knew she’d be sending people out she knew loved her. Not only only her social game saved her but her perception of it to her competition did. Not only did that make Amanda a prime target of taking a shot at Parvmanda but also if Amanda ever DID get eliminated. Parvati falls into a bunch of back-up plans being a #1 to both Cirie and Natalie. If Erik bulldozed his way through immunities, Parvati has a likely chance to make f3, even f2 as Cirie was staying loyal to Parvmanda which clear HURT Cirie’s game as her, Natalie and Amanda were all so loyal to the person who had the hugest shot to make it to FTC instead of say.. Cirie taking a shot at that. (Believe me, I think Cirie played the best game and had great strategies but Parvati had great longterm ones!)

Just my personal second favorite because he was alot of fun to watch and super entertaining. He actually played a good strategy for that starting tribe. Being a dopey fun loving guy took a target off his back. He let all the drama and nonsense happen around him until he got to a spot where he could try and go on an immunity run.

    I expected to hate this list but I actually really like it, even the rankings I disagree with I 100% understand the rationale behind like Kim, rob, and earl playing against week casts or Brian, aras, and chochran, getting there alliances pagonged if they enter the merge without the numbers, and the underedditing of winners like tommy and Sophie. I do think this lost works almost better as a player rankings then a winner rankings personally but that is absolutely not a bad thing ether. Personally I usually rank winners based on there winning game and nothing else but that often gets players like Brian and Boston rob ranked higher then they would be on a player rankings and people like Michelle and Ben near the bottom when they are genuinely solid and consistent players of survivor. Basically what I’m trying to say is even if you disagree with the rankings at least try to understand the rationale behind it (heck, OUAI literally gave his criteria at the beginning of the video) instead of writing it off completely. And even if you still disagree, can’t we just all get along for once

  • @lizfinkelstein1323
    @lizfinkelstein1323 Год назад +81

    Here's my argument for why Boston' Rob's win on RI is far superior to his almost win on AS- coming into AS he was a last minute addition to the cast, not nearly the power player that Lex and Kathy were, so expectations for and towards him (from his castmates) were low. He was never a threat to be an early boot like the bigger players (Colby, Ethan) so once he got his hooks in, he could ride that to the end.
    But that means that he had a huge target coming into RI- that he was able to work and charm his way into his tribe is a testament to his immense social skills. Then, once he's in and in the power seat, he has to contend with another alpha male in Grant, and a total loose canon in Philip. When people evaluate his tribe, they tend to only look at the girls, without giving Rob the credit to manage two tricky male players.
    IMO, the reason Rob's tribe looked like a bunch of dummies is due to how expertly he played them.

    • @kk_33
      @kk_33 Год назад +8

      A lot of Rob's tribe on RI have admitted to only seeing him on HvV. Most of them had never seen All Stars or Marquesas, so they only saw the likable underdog that got screwed over by Russell. Then when he was put on the season in opposition to Russell, his tribe naturally were excited to get him.
      I can never fault Rob himself for the cast they chose to put him with, and his game was impressive considering the cards he was dealt. But overall, it's just hard to feel that impressed when he had so much stacked in his favor.

He loses a jury vote to everyone but Phillip and Natalie, which shows his jury management was absolute garbage. It was a piss poor cast. He was in danger of being the merge boot. He had no options outside his alliance. And he made 2 or 3 visible strategic errors too.

    It's crazy how low Tom Westman is on this list. People don't like him because of how he manipulated his tribe? What about Todd Herzog and Parvati Shallow, who were way more manipulative, but rank 6th and 2nd? Tom was a much better winner than both of them and many higher than him on the list. He was a challenge beast, a good strategist, very likable and friendly, and served his country as a firefighter. Nobody, except maybe Ian, would have won against him in the end.

    • @handsoaphandsoap
      @handsoaphandsoap Год назад +1

      I don't think that's the actual reason, I think it's moreso that people aren't impressed with winners that go on comp runs. I think his strategic game was also pretty solid for his season but when compared to the Parvati's, the Boston Rob's, the Todd's, the Kim's of the world, his win is not especially exciting tbh. Plus, he's not really fully playing the actual game of Survivor until the merge (a gripe people also have with winners like Michelle and Erika) and some of his individual wins were crapshoots where he would've gotten voted out had luck not been on his side that day (that one challenge with the number combination comes to mind, Ian would've beat him if Tom hadn't stumbled on the correct order by chance). Still impressive, winning Survivor is inherently impressive, but he wouldn't breach my top 15 tbh.

    My favorite winner is Adam by a long shot.
    MvGX was the season that made me fan of Survivor once again after I stopped watching it as a kid.
    And having mom, who also went through cancer and beat it, I related to Adam so much, since I know very well how difficult it is.
    Then he won and I was so ecstatic, but when he said that his mom died, I just lost it. Literal waterfalls of tears.
    No one can in my eyes replace Adam as my favorite winner. And with MvGX being my absolute favorite season, it's like the perfect recommendation from me to anyone, who wants to start watching Survivor.

    I think it's unfair to have Chris the last ranking just because of the production. If we were to stick with how the individual player played, Chris really did play tenaciously. Him having to stay in EoE and winning the last comeback challenge and surviving the tribal councils after and also risking the final spot by playing fire despite winning the final immunity is just sickening. People have to give credit where credit is due. Despite him getting a freebie of an idol when he returned, he still fought his way back. He played a good balance of social and physical game. He basically did a Natalie of Season 40 except that Natalie didnt win, and everyone loved Natalie in season 40 so why cant we give the same to Chris though.

      For WAW, you misunderstood me a bit, as I said that I'm ok with Tony's ranking for that. So let me expand a little bit on my thinking.
      I don't think Nat would've won, but I felt that more jurors would've given her credit for doing whatever it took to get back into the game, and that she and Michelle did control those last few Tribals. Then again, I thought Michelle would get a vote as well. She didn't play poorly, and a no-vote final doesn't really do her justice.
      I don't think Tony played a perfect game on WAW, but he showed a lot more maturity than he did on Game Changers - he tried to play the same game as he did on Cagayan there, and people were not having it. Chaos? I would say it was there, but in a controlled fashion. And I think that control is what helped him get to the winner's circle on WAW.
