@rosinelankos8010 winners at war really hurt her legacy I think. There had always been questions because her cast was so awful, s40 threw that back into doubt because she had absolutely no agency at any point in the game.
The more I watch Winners at war, the more I am impressed by Tony. Like holy fuck he might put on a facade of being kinda happy-go-lucky, but he may have worked harder than any castaway ever. Busting his ass to be a good provider, being a legit challenge beast, and being a terrific strategist while searching for the idol at night. That last bit says it all, when you consider everything he did this season, he did on only a few hours of sleep. Most complete player ever.
Sophie is the only one that saw through him the whole game and he was such a threat in plain sight and no one seemed to notice. He is definitely the king.

Sure, he wasn't actually there for a significant amount of the show, but he still did the best he could with the resources at his disposal.

The only reason he even knew his win condition was to get immunity, then volunteer for fire against Rick Devens and win was because others on the edge overtly told him that would be his win condition. He may have succeeded in play, but the strategy wasn't even his own. Very frustrating lol
@@lolabush2201 They do, and I fully understand why. It just de-legitimizes his win for me when the playbook was handed to him lol. It wasn't some brilliant strategy, it was the de facto "only option" straight up delivered to him by the jury who had the power to give him the win in the first place
They were on that edge for a very long time with nothing to do. I'm sure they talked a lot of game strategy. For ever game move he used from them I'm sure there were like at least 50 he didn't. I think the majority of people who came back from the edge would still have lost. He found the right path out of many,.
@@PikachuPlays To be fair, Chris definitely had some great strategy and people skills. Especially the way he convinced Lauren to play her idol for him.

I just want to say, this is really cool that your collecting real research data with these surveys. These fan-vote based rankings are a really good way to record the perception of Winners by dans over time
Woo voting out Kass instead of Tony is the biggest butterfly effect in Survivor. Tony likely gets on Cambodia and probably gets voted off pretty early due to being such a crazy threat on one of the most recent popular seasons at the time. He still might get cast on Game Changers but still might get out pretty early. Woo likely plays on Winners at War but I don't think he wins the season
If woo voted out tony I'm pretty sure woo would win the season, tony would get voted early on cambodia, and we'd never see him again. In that timeline, Sophie might have won winners at war and if she continued the game she was playing she'd be in the running for our new goat
@@nathangaspacio6128It’s possible he does his tone down in public go crazy in private stratagey in winners at war, in either Cambodia or game changers and he could have won either season
I loved watching Mike dominate. I think seasons like World's apart are fun when they don't happen that often. I found it enjoyable because every episode, I wasn't sure if he was gonna make it. He was the obvious winner, the only question was if he could get there.
Agreed, I feel like in a lot of seasons the physical aspects of the game get downplayed past the merge. It's refreshing to have a player who won through pure strength and willpower.
Jeremy is my favorite. I liked him a lot in SJDS and was devastated when he was blindsided, I hoped that he would return (bearing in mind that practically none of the castaways I hoped would return ever have...) but not only did he get enough fan votes to play in Cambodia, he went up against a huge cast of veterans, got to the end and received every jury vote. Was beautiful. I wish his Survivor story ended there and not at WaW 😥
Yul, Natalie Anderson, Jeremy, and Earl will always be my favorite winners. I loved watching Sandra on Pearl Islands, she’s beyond entertaining and I think she’s one of my favorite characters to come out of reality tv.
I'm not sure how much of it is an intentional tactic but Adam's manages his mom story expertly. He doesnt reveal it to the whole cast initially which prevents him having a big target, reveals it to Jay which if he stays makes him an ally and if he goes a jury asset that will influence other people on pondarosa. Then come final tribal he lets the cat out of the bag solidifying his position as the favorite to win. Of course there are other assets to his game such as allying with and managing two goats Hannah and Ken, making sure target is always on someone else and general social gaming but I think its really impressive how he manages the backstory aspect of his game
Hard watch ONLY BECAUSE I felt like every winner was criminally underrated, until I saw who was after them and the chain continued!!! They're all so good, but I ultimately do agree with the consensus and reasonings behind why people were placed where. Good video as always!
Boston Rob playing the fiddle from start to fijnish on Redemption Island is a perfect game. People act like it "was set up for him or Russel to win" but in reality, both had the biggest targets on their backs the ENTIRE time. Fans are just very stupid. Thats what I gained from this list. Especially having Jam Jam in the top? Are you kiddding me???
Natalie Anderson should be higher. She was the only winner that made me feel like it was a privilege and an honor to be able to watch her play. Just an absolutely incredible, masterful game and she was a decently likeable person as well. I actually was indifferent to her for most of the season until her endgame got going. But her endgame was so masterful and flawless that I felt like I had no choice but to respect her as both a player and a person. By the FTC, I was saying “if she doesn’t win, it would be an injustice to the entire game of Survivor.” She is the most deserving winner by FAR in my opinion. As Jeremy said, “she was ballin’”
I hope Tommy's throwback game gets more credit as time goes on. I'm glad Vecepia and Chris Daughtry seem to be getting more respect. This made me want to see all the snubbed one-time player winners not in WAW get another season.
I think the difference between Sophie and some of the others that you mentioned in the same archetype is that she was able to articulate her game at final tribal in a way that made the audience reflect on her game as a subtle B plot - like a whodunnit where the clues were there all along. That being said I don’t think that makes the other women you mentioned any LESS deserving of their wins, just explaining why Sophie may have received a little less heat for her win.
Oh give me a break, Brian played the game perfectly. Lots of Survivor fans respect and even like him. Just not around here apparently. Yes he is kind of a jerk, but there is so much worse. He lied and took a goat. Oh my! ( Oh and already had money..like he was the only one) Brian realistically should be in the middle.
kind of a jerk is a big time understatemt but i agree he's not the worst winner here by any means, he's just a very wicked individual outside of the game, so honestly i'm not really mad he's last
Yah he’s not last by any means, I kinda liked his villainous ways on that season. It’s obviously because of what happened outside of the show that is making him worse.
@@itzwakk335 Ehhh. He does not belong at the bottom regardless. It's just silly and sad. There have been much bigger jerks on the show then him, honestly I found him sleazily charming. Chris Underwood being above him is just laughable.
@@XxTR1D I am a newish Survivor fan still, but I think I have heard something about him killing his neighbor's pet? Then I have seen other people say that either there is a lot more to it, or he didn't do it at all. So I don't know what to think. I may have to do some reading. I am an animal lover. That still doesn't factor into to how he played the game. He just might be a complete a-hole in "real life" who I have no time for. Still not the worst Survivor winner ever though.
Tony’s winners at war game was truly as close as we’ve seen to a perfect game he played so good that even though the jury had spent literal weeks with Natalie and seen how amazing she was it didn’t matter because at the point she got into the game she didn’t have nearly enough time to erase all the great thing tony did and the interactions he had with Sarah at those last few tribals were just the icing on the cake the only person that you can even question if they would have beat tony is Sarah but I still think Tony wins although that would have been a much more interesting final tribal the only thing that Natalie could have done was maybe take fire against Tony but even then she still probably loses to Sarah
Wow, the fans failed hard by having Brian last. His game was top 5 dominant. How good the season was overall is irrelevant, and him winning by only one vote is also largely irrelevant. Other players who played like him lost for the most part, like Rob and Russell, so he should get credit for getting the W. The only possible explanation is that no one has watched this season in 15 years.
Erika should be way higher. The most underrated winner imo. She did so much work that the edit missed. And Deshawn later admitted in interviews that Erika was never the target during luvu and it was just used as a plot point for her story to the win. Which makes her win even more impressive
Sophie should be way higher and her story is nothing like Natalie or Amber in my opinion. She was in control the whole time and never hid behind Coach as she was a target quite a few times. Its definitely productions fault they didnt feature her as much as Ozzy and Coach, but her gameplay was so solid. Her growth arc through the final few episodes alone is enough for me to place her higher.
we need to stop with the revisionist history, yes she was in control alongside coach, she was not the one running that alliance, that alliance doesn't go without coach, cochran doesn't flip without coach, coach was the one with most of the social collections, coach got featured more because he did more
As much as I disliked Coach this season, the other comment is correct. Coach steamrolled them all. He used religion to create a cult of followers. Sure, Sophie saw through it. But she did nothing to stop it, because she knew she had no leverage against Coach. Sadly when Winners at War came out, I was like Sophie who?
@@itzwakk335I just rewatched the season and youre completely wrong. She is in the driver seat for most of the game. Coach listens to her distinctly at two key tribals and the fact you think its "revisionist" history when Im literally stating what really happens just proves some of you cant distinguish the true story from the edit. Seriously listen to Sophie and Coach on ANY podcast and youll see your blowhard comment is wrong when Coach has made it pretty clear that Sophie pushed ALL the big decisions. Sit down if you dont know what you're talking about.
Its also "revisionist" history to say that the group doesnt go that far with out Coach and rewrite the whole game the way YOU think it would have happened. Cochran flips either way(again, listen to a podcast once or twice). You can't possibly make that statement with any substance.
next time you do a ranked video by us fans I think you should have options for strongly dislike and strongly like (both being -2 and +2) in terms of strategist and character, I think it would be more accurate cause some of the players I said I liked in this video was because I only slightly like them, while some I loved
The like and dislike this time were weighed heavier than in the 2022 rankings to try and give people more power over who they really liked and disliked.
It annoys me that Tom is at 20 because ‘modern Survivor watchers don’t like the way he manipulated his tribe’. Uhhhhh…. Didn’t y’all just rate Parvati #2?? People PRAISE her for her extremely manipulative gameplay. So when she does it, she’s amazing and she’s the best and she’s a queen, but when Tom does it, and in a much less intense way mind you, he’s too manipulative. Explain that to me because that’s garbage.
@@mizzviolet this gives me the same vibe as someone saying "russia better stop what they're doing in ukraine or I'm gonna have to get involved" and their username is smth like bigboogiebear523
Cochran will always be my favorite winner, though I'm biased due to having a crush on him when I was younger. Also I love when we get Tony's Winners at War placement the first clip used is Tony running like a cartoon character to read his advantage. That scene never fails to make me laugh
very interesting that erika is lower in the 2023 version in 2022 she was 34th out of 42, now shes 38th out of 44 i would have expected the reverse i wouldnt be surprised if she goes up a bit in the 2024 version
I feel like Earl Cole's near-perfect game isn't given enough credit. Man won Fiji with just ONE VOTE against him, and got every single vote at the final tribal council.
Tommy played one of the most underrated winner games of all time. Granted he played on one of the worst seasons(for a reason I will not mention), but he played a great old school game. He simply had a great social game. No advantages, no challenge wins, just pure survivor.
i really like natalie white, she saw that russell is easily threatened by women he perceived as even remotely challenging him (like a loser, which he is) and played a really solid game socially, making russell underestimate her which cost him the win, rightfully so imo. she stayed on russell’s good side, while still maintaining her integrity with pretty much everyone else, and i can appreciate that kind of game even if it’s not a flashy one. she’s also one of very few people who made it far in that season that was yknow, nice and normal lmao. i appreciate that.
I can never understand how Sandra's PI win always gets ranked higher than her HvV win. While both seasons are obviously top tier and she's very likable and a satisfying winner in both of them, she kind of wins in PI by default when all the big threats take each others out and she's left with an outcast in the final two. In HvV, at least in my opinion, she plays a much better and more active game and also has to beat what was considered at the time the strongest cast ever.
Because most of her strategy in HvV failed upward to where it was attempting to overthrow Russell which wouldn’t have been in her best interest. In PI, she actually succeeded in overthrowing her arch enemy in Fairplay, had a bigger hand in whom went home & was a much clear author of her own path. It depends on what you value. In HvV, she played a better threat management game and had tougher competition but I think her strategic & social game was better in PI.
I just have to add, alot of people are saying Brian should be higher, but he brought Clay with him to the end as a goat that he thought would get no votes, but he almost lost to Clay.
@@itzwakk335 >no agency strategically Ok so basically we are discarding Ethan, Jenna, Sandra, Tom, Aras, Parvati, JT, and Natalie because they weren’t strategic or had agency? He was a social game player. He was so socially impressive that Sugar handed him the win, it doesn’t matter how dominant you are unless you can get the votes. >and horrific FTC what was so horrific about it? He literally told the people who voted for him what they wanted to hear and got their votes. The only votes he lost was from Kenny, because he was bitter, Crystal, because she was voting with Kenny, and Matty, who just liked Susie more, he didn’t do anything horrible! Even if you think it was bad tho, he was never losing to anyone at the F6. >burns Randy’s vote Bob told Randy in private that the idol was fake, those reactions from Randy were just cobbled up by the edit to make the moment spectacular, and his FTC was again editing and Randy hamming it up to add suspense. Also now it feels like you are saying he had a bad social game for burning his votes and that’s why he didn’t deserve the win when you said earlier that the fact that he wasn’t a strategic and dominant winner is why he didn’t deserve the votes. The Gabon cast was never gonna vote for a player with agency they all believed they were the toughest on the block.
I'm going to get hate for saying Parvati is probably the most overrated winner, and her being so high is mostly due to her separate HvV playthrough. Even when I think she still played one of the best games, she would have lost Micronesia if either Cirie was at the original final 3 finale with her or Amanda answered her jury questions better and more honestly. Erik even said he was trying to force a tie, so if he knew Parvati would have had the majority votes, he would have switched his over to Amanda, and at that point who knows who would have been the winner.
You shouldn’t get hate at all for this. She came into a FvF season as a relative nobody which is already a huge advantage in itself. Every quit & medevac aided her throughout the entire game (Fairplay’s quit gave leverage for Cirie to swing to the couples, Chet & Kathy quitting also helped her alliance & Penner/James leaving saved her game losing trajectory with the F2 twist) While she does do good work in pulling over Natalie/Alexis duo to pull off the Ozzy blindside, once the Parvmanda duo get targeted with the odds against them due to the favorites banding together to take out Amanda, it’s ultimately Amanda that does the work to give the favorites the majority & Cirie convincing Erik to give up immunity. Two of the biggest hurdles that would’ve potentially put a dent into Parvati’s chances at reaching FTC. Based on how Eliza has said post-game about how atrociously they handled her questions, i’m willing to believe she won at FTC.
I 100% agree here, but I also kind of think Amanda did fine at FTC too. Shes not an explosive personality but I felt she was being herself and answering the best she could. Parvati is just such an enchanting personality that she can pull people in. Cirie is also the culprit here because of her sour grapes that there was no final 3, and Amanda eliminated her.
First time I watched it, I was really p.ssed off by Yul's God idol assisted win. On rewatch, not as much. But still too high here. He might be a good player but his path to the FTC was pretty much assured once he found the idol. Not a great choice by production to have an idol to have so much power. That actually works to your advantage when everyone knows about it.
Tommy’s win in 39 just doesn’t do anything to impress. Most of the overt players were already eliminated, the whole season is kind of a mess with the Dan stuff, and the end of that season had more goats than a petting zoo. He wins as much because of his competition as he does because of any social game.
I would put JT around #7. He played an incredible game, perfected the "partner in crime" strategy AND the meat shield strategy at the same time. Everyone blamed Fishbach for voting them out and JT played a blinding FTC by pushing Fishbach onto the train tracks. He's up there with the GOATs for me.
Tina is criminally low on this list, first woman to win, the first to get someone to flip from the power, the first to make a successful cross-tribe alliance, and the first to blindside someone in her alliance once she had enough numbers to do so. All while being seen as nice and sweet.
People forget that mike heard Dan and Rodney talking about how they were going to vote him out first with their 4 after they got all of the opposite tribe out which is why he sold out for the next idol clue
Interesting list…… I hate Brian but he played an almost top tier winning game, he called the shots from beginning to end, won 3 individual immunities & had multiple F2 routes to get there. Chris U should be at the bottom no matter what. He missed out on 2/3’s of the game & benefited from a profound momentum killing twist. Jenna is underrated. Her & Michele practically played similar games with her playing arguably better than Michele. Being the author of her own faith while Michele bailed out by Joe’s med evac & she literally won 4 individual immunities. Erika is way, way too low. She had a hand in the Naseer vote out through her connections with Ricard, safe guarded herself with the contingency plan to blindside Shan at the F8 & was frequently in a power position by playing the swing vote from that point onward. Tommy is extremely too low! He & Lauren ran the merge while working his way out of situations that could’ve screwed him through no fault of his own (Elaine’s block vote, double tribal & Dan’s ejection) & had a fantastic social game. Danni & Chris D have similar game trajectories, going down in numbers at the merge before working their way into a F3 route & winning final immunity (Chris D was at more fault for voting out John K & putting himself into that position) & i’m honestly more impressed that Danni was able to break an alliance than Chris D taking advantage of an already broken one. I don’t know, I just don’t understand why she’s so low at 32 while he’s at 19. Nick should be higher. He ran a great chunk of DvG (Jessica, Natalie, John, Dan, Gabby & Kara boots) & won 3 individual immunities. Sarah’s GC is one of the best post-merge performances of all time! Flipping between alliances 8 different times on such a stacked cast. I don’t understand why she’s not at least in the top 15. Tom has the GREATEST individual challenge performance out of any winner, great social game & he ran majority of the game. Top 5 performance. Kim completely controlled every single decision that was ever made in OW, won 4 individual immunity challenges, had a great social game all while having great jury management. This is basically Boston Rob’s RI game on first go, she should be in the top 5. JT has the best social game of all time, ran the game with one of the most dominant duos, won in a 7-0 sweep with a fantastic jury speech, never received a vote casted against him throughout the entire game & won 3 individual immunities. In my opinion, this winning game is borderline top 3. Earl ran every vote he partook in, was a throwaway vote from a perfect win & had a great social game. I’d also say he played a top 3 winning game. Yam-Yam being that high is a recency bias and everyone knows it. Lastly, Yul shouldn’t be that high & especially Parvati considering they were heavily advantaged winners.
Gabler broke Survivor. He is the greatest person to go on this show. Who goes on a game show, wins a million dollars, and donates it all to charity? Gabler does. Legend.
Maryanne had a solid end-game but top 10 winner? Is she even a better player than Yam-Yam & Erika? I feel like her game falls with a similar trajectory to Adam Klein’s. What makes her so much better?
@@kharihammon9784 Better than erika , absolutely many things , Maryanne holding on to that idol was very impressive , she used her extra vote successfully , she was not the front runner to win , but she was able to convince the jury with having solid evidence to back up what she did, that is a crucial part of the game players and viewers forget , she managed her threat level perfectly, also i will say, she had a great edit so that shifts my opinion a lot, we didn’t see erika a lot
I have to disagree with at least Mike Holloway. He had one of the best wins of all time imo. From switching sides to really playing the game, he fought very hard for the win even becoming public enemy #1 for weeks. To then win nearly every immunity is insane, he had to win or lose and he sure did. Give my man some credit even if it was a controversial season
Yes Aubrey was in fact not robbed but Michelle’s winners at war game was very unimpressive she was the textbook definition of a goat always getting blindsided constantly on the wrong side of the votes and always coming back from tribal saying how badly it went she really does not make any big moves at all and is so easily persuaded into voting for Sophie the one time she was on the correct voting side
according to tony they did michelle dirty with the edit, as even though she always voted wrong she was considered somewhat of a threat (due to her social game) and managed to keep the target off of her back all game. In my view she deserved second place, or tied third where tony gets all the votes, but natalie didn't play better.
I strongly disagree with the winners at war sentiment. Michelle was consistently telling people who were on the outs where they were positioned and wanted to pull off moves, but nobody would listen. You can’t fault her when people like Nick and Jeremy outright choose to lose the game rather than working with her to try and win
Tbh I’ve always had a soft spot for Natalie White… but my favorite winners have always been Ethan, Sandra, Parvati, Sophie and Carolyn… I mean YamYam 😅😂❤

Yul, Natalie Anderson, Jeremy, and Earl will always be my favorite winners. I loved watching Sandra on Pearl Islands, she’s beyond entertaining and I think she’s one of my favorite characters to come out of reality tv.
JT's win is surprisingly low on this list. Not sure if his choices in HvV affected that, but he literally walked on air in his first season
He played the first ever perfect game!
a lot of wins here are much lower than they should be lol but that's just my opinion
His HvV & GC has definitely had an affect on his ranking. No way he’s not Top 5.
Is there anyone too high?
@@OnceUponAnIsland Sandra, parv, yul, Tony in Cagayan, yam yams, Denise, maryanne
I'm not sure how much of it is an intentional tactic but Adam's manages his mom story expertly. He doesnt reveal it to the whole cast initially which prevents him having a big target, reveals it to Jay which if he stays makes him an ally and if he goes a jury asset that will influence other people on pondarosa. Then come final tribal he lets the cat out of the bag solidifying his position as the favorite to win.
Of course there are other assets to his game such as allying with and managing two goats Hannah and Ken, making sure target is always on someone else and general social gaming but I think its really impressive how he manages the backstory aspect of his game
Hard watch ONLY BECAUSE I felt like every winner was criminally underrated, until I saw who was after them and the chain continued!!! They're all so good, but I ultimately do agree with the consensus and reasonings behind why people were placed where. Good video as always!
12:55 This is hilarious because it’s SO TRUE 😂 Angelina acted like she just climbed up Mt. Everest
Boston Rob playing the fiddle from start to fijnish on Redemption Island is a perfect game.
People act like it "was set up for him or Russel to win" but in reality, both had the biggest targets on their backs the ENTIRE time. Fans are just very stupid.
Thats what I gained from this list. Especially having Jam Jam in the top? Are you kiddding me???
Yam Yam is recency bias, imo. Let's see where he lands when we do the 2024 list.
Tony definitely goofed up in Game Changers but he totally made up for it in Winners at War. Stellar player and so fun to watch. ❤😊
Natalie Anderson should be higher. She was the only winner that made me feel like it was a privilege and an honor to be able to watch her play. Just an absolutely incredible, masterful game and she was a decently likeable person as well. I actually was indifferent to her for most of the season until her endgame got going. But her endgame was so masterful and flawless that I felt like I had no choice but to respect her as both a player and a person. By the FTC, I was saying “if she doesn’t win, it would be an injustice to the entire game of Survivor.” She is the most deserving winner by FAR in my opinion. As Jeremy said, “she was ballin’”
@@martonyomchale342You’re confusing Natalie White for Natalie Anderson.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I dont like Brian but i think last place is a bit hard considering he dominated
I hope Tommy's throwback game gets more credit as time goes on.
I'm glad Vecepia and Chris Daughtry seem to be getting more respect.
This made me want to see all the snubbed one-time player winners not in WAW get another season.
Vecepia, Earl and Todd must return!
Brian Hedik being dead last is absolutely WILD
I think the difference between Sophie and some of the others that you mentioned in the same archetype is that she was able to articulate her game at final tribal in a way that made the audience reflect on her game as a subtle B plot - like a whodunnit where the clues were there all along. That being said I don’t think that makes the other women you mentioned any LESS deserving of their wins, just explaining why Sophie may have received a little less heat for her win.
I still wish Vecepia was in WAW instead of Sophie
Videos like this always remind me how distant I am from the rest of the community. My ranking is very different.
Oh give me a break, Brian played the game perfectly. Lots of Survivor fans respect and even like him. Just not around here apparently. Yes he is kind of a jerk, but there is so much worse. He lied and took a goat. Oh my! ( Oh and already had money..like he was the only one) Brian realistically should be in the middle.
kind of a jerk is a big time understatemt but i agree he's not the worst winner here by any means, he's just a very wicked individual outside of the game, so honestly i'm not really mad he's last
Yah he’s not last by any means, I kinda liked his villainous ways on that season. It’s obviously because of what happened outside of the show that is making him worse.
@@itzwakk335 Ehhh. He does not belong at the bottom regardless. It's just silly and sad. There have been much bigger jerks on the show then him, honestly I found him sleazily charming. Chris Underwood being above him is just laughable.
@@XxTR1D I am a newish Survivor fan still, but I think I have heard something about him killing his neighbor's pet? Then I have seen other people say that either there is a lot more to it, or he didn't do it at all. So I don't know what to think. I may have to do some reading. I am an animal lover. That still doesn't factor into to how he played the game. He just might be a complete a-hole in "real life" who I have no time for. Still not the worst Survivor winner ever though.
I actually would put Brian in my top five best winners (based on game play).
Tony’s winners at war game was truly as close as we’ve seen to a perfect game he played so good that even though the jury had spent literal weeks with Natalie and seen how amazing she was it didn’t matter because at the point she got into the game she didn’t have nearly enough time to erase all the great thing tony did and the interactions he had with Sarah at those last few tribals were just the icing on the cake the only person that you can even question if they would have beat tony is Sarah but I still think Tony wins although that would have been a much more interesting final tribal the only thing that Natalie could have done was maybe take fire against Tony but even then she still probably loses to Sarah
I loved Ben, Bob, Mike 😢
Yam Yam over Earl, Rob, Tom, JT, Kim and Todd is insane
Make sure to vote next year!
Wow, the fans failed hard by having Brian last. His game was top 5 dominant. How good the season was overall is irrelevant, and him winning by only one vote is also largely irrelevant. Other players who played like him lost for the most part, like Rob and Russell, so he should get credit for getting the W.
The only possible explanation is that no one has watched this season in 15 years.
I think him barely beating Clay by 1 vote doesn't help either.
I get it, but last is just insane. Natalie was a similar level goat as Clay was and got 7 votes simply because people hated Russell.
Kim at 16 is also ridiculous lmao, top 5 winner easily
I agree. I think its because the season around her is so disliked but thats not her fault!
I think her season being disliked is a factor as well.
@@OnceUponAnIsland fair enough
cook
32:54 That shot of Tony in the tree is hilarious.
I've always found Chris and Brian underrated
Erika should be way higher. The most underrated winner imo. She did so much work that the edit missed. And Deshawn later admitted in interviews that Erika was never the target during luvu and it was just used as a plot point for her story to the win. Which makes her win even more impressive
I don’t think he really ranked her game on gameplay. It was moreso her story
@@devondonato4609 ya I get that but I still do think she deserves to be higher.
Sophie should be way higher and her story is nothing like Natalie or Amber in my opinion. She was in control the whole time and never hid behind Coach as she was a target quite a few times. Its definitely productions fault they didnt feature her as much as Ozzy and Coach, but her gameplay was so solid. Her growth arc through the final few episodes alone is enough for me to place her higher.
we need to stop with the revisionist history, yes she was in control alongside coach, she was not the one running that alliance, that alliance doesn't go without coach, cochran doesn't flip without coach, coach was the one with most of the social collections, coach got featured more because he did more
As much as I disliked Coach this season, the other comment is correct. Coach steamrolled them all. He used religion to create a cult of followers. Sure, Sophie saw through it. But she did nothing to stop it, because she knew she had no leverage against Coach. Sadly when Winners at War came out, I was like Sophie who?
@@jonnymankin thats a real shame you didnt pay attention.
@@itzwakk335I just rewatched the season and youre completely wrong. She is in the driver seat for most of the game. Coach listens to her distinctly at two key tribals and the fact you think its "revisionist" history when Im literally stating what really happens just proves some of you cant distinguish the true story from the edit. Seriously listen to Sophie and Coach on ANY podcast and youll see your blowhard comment is wrong when Coach has made it pretty clear that Sophie pushed ALL the big decisions. Sit down if you dont know what you're talking about.
Its also "revisionist" history to say that the group doesnt go that far with out Coach and rewrite the whole game the way YOU think it would have happened. Cochran flips either way(again, listen to a podcast once or twice). You can't possibly make that statement with any substance.
next time you do a ranked video by us fans I think you should have options for strongly dislike and strongly like (both being -2 and +2) in terms of strategist and character, I think it would be more accurate cause some of the players I said I liked in this video was because I only slightly like them, while some I loved
The like and dislike this time were weighed heavier than in the 2022 rankings to try and give people more power over who they really liked and disliked.
I liked Ben winning tbh
Also Yam Yam so high is essentially voting on likability not merit
I liked Ben's win too.
@@OnceUponAnIsland He played his ass off finding advantages and he nullified a unanimous vote
It annoys me that Tom is at 20 because ‘modern Survivor watchers don’t like the way he manipulated his tribe’. Uhhhhh…. Didn’t y’all just rate Parvati #2?? People PRAISE her for her extremely manipulative gameplay. So when she does it, she’s amazing and she’s the best and she’s a queen, but when Tom does it, and in a much less intense way mind you, he’s too manipulative. Explain that to me because that’s garbage.
You know your the goat when your mentioned twice in the top 5
What's the red flag in EP 4 during Erika's season?
The Challenge where they talk about throwing to get her off and they fail.
I feel like you might have already made this video, but a list of the greatest to never win would be a fun watch
Great idea! The patrons pick what videos I make.

Do you ever plan on making a Mike Holloway video?
I'm going through the winners chronologically, so eventually, he will be covered. I'm working on Natalie White's story right now.
Cochran will always be my favorite winner, though I'm biased due to having a crush on him when I was younger.
Also I love when we get Tony's Winners at War placement the first clip used is Tony running like a cartoon character to read his advantage. That scene never fails to make me laugh
Mike Holloway is extremely underrated as a winner. We pretty much got the ideal winner of a season of survivor and people grumble about it.
Do you have a video about Cochren? Because I'd watch that.
I just knew Tony from WaW was going to be number 1, because obviously. He is the King of Survivor(US), along with Queen Sandra.
very interesting that erika is lower in the 2023 version
in 2022 she was 34th out of 42, now shes 38th out of 44
i would have expected the reverse
i wouldnt be surprised if she goes up a bit in the 2024 version
I feel like Earl Cole's near-perfect game isn't given enough credit. Man won Fiji with just ONE VOTE against him, and got every single vote at the final tribal council.
I was so happy that Erika won. It’s a shame that we did not get to see more of her game throughout the season due to the editing.
Did you know that Erika from Season 41 is appearing in Traitors Canada?
I saw that! Very exciting.
Oh, I didn't know that! I love Traitors, so I'm definitely going to watch that.
Tommy played one of the most underrated winner games of all time. Granted he played on one of the worst seasons(for a reason I will not mention), but he played a great old school game. He simply had a great social game. No advantages, no challenge wins, just pure survivor.
Brian being the worst on this list is hilarious.
I think Tommy should be way higher. He played one of the best winning games
i really like natalie white, she saw that russell is easily threatened by women he perceived as even remotely challenging him (like a loser, which he is) and played a really solid game socially, making russell underestimate her which cost him the win, rightfully so imo. she stayed on russell’s good side, while still maintaining her integrity with pretty much everyone else, and i can appreciate that kind of game even if it’s not a flashy one.
she’s also one of very few people who made it far in that season that was yknow, nice and normal lmao. i appreciate that.
I can never understand how Sandra's PI win always gets ranked higher than her HvV win. While both seasons are obviously top tier and she's very likable and a satisfying winner in both of them, she kind of wins in PI by default when all the big threats take each others out and she's left with an outcast in the final two. In HvV, at least in my opinion, she plays a much better and more active game and also has to beat what was considered at the time the strongest cast ever.
I think it's because in PI everyone was on an even playing field and she came 1 vote shy of a perfect game.
Because most of her strategy in HvV failed upward to where it was attempting to overthrow Russell which wouldn’t have been in her best interest. In PI, she actually succeeded in overthrowing her arch enemy in Fairplay, had a bigger hand in whom went home & was a much clear author of her own path.
It depends on what you value. In HvV, she played a better threat management game and had tougher competition but I think her strategic & social game was better in PI.
It's amazing how I can agree with so much and completely disagree with so much at the same time.
tommy that low is insane 🤣
Make sure to vote when we do the new rankings after Survivor 46!
I feel like Gabler had one of the most underrated final tribals of all time.

Shocked by how low Kim is
I love how In your videos you make jokes only people who watch survivor would understand😂
They never work in my day to day life 😆
I just have to add, alot of people are saying Brian should be higher, but he brought Clay with him to the end as a goat that he thought would get no votes, but he almost lost to Clay.
My S-tier winners are: Tony (WaW), JT (Tocantins), Earl (Fiji), Natalie Anderson (SJDS) and Tom (Palau). Worst is Bob (Gabon).
facts lowkey

I have 4/5 of these winners in my top 5.
@gungalioheiboddhizstsu8718 no agency strategically and horrific ftc burned Randy's vote and only got it because sugar and Susie burned it harder
@@itzwakk335 >no agency strategically
Ok so basically we are discarding Ethan, Jenna, Sandra, Tom, Aras, Parvati, JT, and Natalie because they weren’t strategic or had agency? He was a social game player. He was so socially impressive that Sugar handed him the win, it doesn’t matter how dominant you are unless you can get the votes.
>and horrific FTC
what was so horrific about it? He literally told the people who voted for him what they wanted to hear and got their votes. The only votes he lost was from Kenny, because he was bitter, Crystal, because she was voting with Kenny, and Matty, who just liked Susie more, he didn’t do anything horrible! Even if you think it was bad tho, he was never losing to anyone at the F6.
>burns Randy’s vote
Bob told Randy in private that the idol was fake, those reactions from Randy were just cobbled up by the edit to make the moment spectacular, and his FTC was again editing and Randy hamming it up to add suspense. Also now it feels like you are saying he had a bad social game for burning his votes and that’s why he didn’t deserve the win when you said earlier that the fact that he wasn’t a strategic and dominant winner is why he didn’t deserve the votes. The Gabon cast was never gonna vote for a player with agency they all believed they were the toughest on the block.
So where would you put Dee of S45? 🤔
These are your all's rankings, not mine, and we will update them after Survivor 46!
@@OnceUponAnIsland can't wait! 😊
Making this video before the group podcasts?
I look forward to those! I made this about a month ago from the forms you all filled out in June.
I'm going to get hate for saying Parvati is probably the most overrated winner, and her being so high is mostly due to her separate HvV playthrough. Even when I think she still played one of the best games, she would have lost Micronesia if either Cirie was at the original final 3 finale with her or Amanda answered her jury questions better and more honestly. Erik even said he was trying to force a tie, so if he knew Parvati would have had the majority votes, he would have switched his over to Amanda, and at that point who knows who would have been the winner.
you can make a real argument that amanda played a better game than parv up until ftc of course
natalie amanda and cirie were doing a lot of the strategic heavy lifting imo
You shouldn’t get hate at all for this.
She came into a FvF season as a relative nobody which is already a huge advantage in itself.
Every quit & medevac aided her throughout the entire game (Fairplay’s quit gave leverage for Cirie to swing to the couples, Chet & Kathy quitting also helped her alliance & Penner/James leaving saved her game losing trajectory with the F2 twist)
While she does do good work in pulling over Natalie/Alexis duo to pull off the Ozzy blindside, once the Parvmanda duo get targeted with the odds against them due to the favorites banding together to take out Amanda, it’s ultimately Amanda that does the work to give the favorites the majority & Cirie convincing Erik to give up immunity. Two of the biggest hurdles that would’ve potentially put a dent into Parvati’s chances at reaching FTC.
Based on how Eliza has said post-game about how atrociously they handled her questions, i’m willing to believe she won at FTC.
I 100% agree here, but I also kind of think Amanda did fine at FTC too. Shes not an explosive personality but I felt she was being herself and answering the best she could. Parvati is just such an enchanting personality that she can pull people in. Cirie is also the culprit here because of her sour grapes that there was no final 3, and Amanda eliminated her.
First time I watched it, I was really p.ssed off by Yul's God idol assisted win. On rewatch, not as much. But still too high here. He might be a good player but his path to the FTC was pretty much assured once he found the idol. Not a great choice by production to have an idol to have so much power. That actually works to your advantage when everyone knows about it.
Tommy’s win in 39 just doesn’t do anything to impress. Most of the overt players were already eliminated, the whole season is kind of a mess with the Dan stuff, and the end of that season had more goats than a petting zoo. He wins as much because of his competition as he does because of any social game.
Fabio being above so many is crazy kkk
ik no one likes Brian but he definitely played a top 10 game
I would put JT around #7. He played an incredible game, perfected the "partner in crime" strategy AND the meat shield strategy at the same time. Everyone blamed Fishbach for voting them out and JT played a blinding FTC by pushing Fishbach onto the train tracks. He's up there with the GOATs for me.
Fishbsch even admitted he could never vote out JT.
I'd like to see rick from edge of extinction play again.He was awesome
Brian was a great winner i dont care what anyone says
Id be interested if you try a first boot ranking
Great idea! The patrons pick what videos I make.
Can someone explain how on earth Kim is at 16, and behind Denise?

Brian is last? He’s probably a top 10 winner gameplay wise
People really don't like him as a character.
@@OnceUponAnIsland yeah but you’d think at least most people would have said his gameplay was solid and he’d at least be out of the bottom 10 or so
He also received the most votes, by far, for people's least favorite winner.
@@OnceUponAnIsland interesting. I guess I just think about it solely based on their survivor game and he played a dominant game.
But then he almost lost to Clay by 1 vote.
Tony and parvati were both unstoppable
I just realized, Tony also won on his third time around! Just like Tyson
Todd, Parvati, Rob, Sandra, Tony are the top 5 for me.
Tina is criminally low on this list, first woman to win, the first to get someone to flip from the power, the first to make a successful cross-tribe alliance, and the first to blindside someone in her alliance once she had enough numbers to do so. All while being seen as nice and sweet.
People forget that mike heard Dan and Rodney talking about how they were going to vote him out first with their 4 after they got all of the opposite tribe out which is why he sold out for the next idol clue

Yul
Cirie
Ethan
Parvati
Colby
Sandra
Ozzy
Rob
Amber
Lex
Carolyn
Tony
Kim
Natalie
Sophie
Courtney

This just PROVES Parvati is the true Queen of Survivor
Imo yam yam was a very unexpected winner. Carolyn and Carson made more sense to me so yam yam winning surprised me
Interesting list……
I hate Brian but he played an almost top tier winning game, he called the shots from beginning to end, won 3 individual immunities & had multiple F2 routes to get there.
Chris U should be at the bottom no matter what. He missed out on 2/3’s of the game & benefited from a profound momentum killing twist.
Jenna is underrated. Her & Michele practically played similar games with her playing arguably better than Michele. Being the author of her own faith while Michele bailed out by Joe’s med evac & she literally won 4 individual immunities.
Erika is way, way too low. She had a hand in the Naseer vote out through her connections with Ricard, safe guarded herself with the contingency plan to blindside Shan at the F8 & was frequently in a power position by playing the swing vote from that point onward.
Tommy is extremely too low! He & Lauren ran the merge while working his way out of situations that could’ve screwed him through no fault of his own (Elaine’s block vote, double tribal & Dan’s ejection) & had a fantastic social game.
Danni & Chris D have similar game trajectories, going down in numbers at the merge before working their way into a F3 route & winning final immunity (Chris D was at more fault for voting out John K & putting himself into that position) & i’m honestly more impressed that Danni was able to break an alliance than Chris D taking advantage of an already broken one. I don’t know, I just don’t understand why she’s so low at 32 while he’s at 19.
Nick should be higher. He ran a great chunk of DvG (Jessica, Natalie, John, Dan, Gabby & Kara boots) & won 3 individual immunities.
Sarah’s GC is one of the best post-merge performances of all time! Flipping between alliances 8 different times on such a stacked cast. I don’t understand why she’s not at least in the top 15.
Tom has the GREATEST individual challenge performance out of any winner, great social game & he ran majority of the game. Top 5 performance.
Kim completely controlled every single decision that was ever made in OW, won 4 individual immunity challenges, had a great social game all while having great jury management. This is basically Boston Rob’s RI game on first go, she should be in the top 5.
JT has the best social game of all time, ran the game with one of the most dominant duos, won in a 7-0 sweep with a fantastic jury speech, never received a vote casted against him throughout the entire game & won 3 individual immunities. In my opinion, this winning game is borderline top 3.
Earl ran every vote he partook in, was a throwaway vote from a perfect win & had a great social game. I’d also say he played a top 3 winning game.
Yam-Yam being that high is a recency bias and everyone knows it.
Lastly, Yul shouldn’t be that high & especially Parvati considering they were heavily advantaged winners.
No one has ever been so right
Definetly agree with Yul. If it isn’t a surprise F3, he loses.
Thanks for giving Tom respect, he deserves it

Maryanne had a solid end-game but top 10 winner? Is she even a better player than Yam-Yam & Erika?
I feel like her game falls with a similar trajectory to Adam Klein’s. What makes her so much better?
@@kharihammon9784 Better than erika , absolutely many things , Maryanne holding on to that idol was very impressive , she used her extra vote successfully , she was not the front runner to win , but she was able to convince the jury with having solid evidence to back up what she did, that is a crucial part of the game players and viewers forget , she managed her threat level perfectly, also i will say, she had a great edit so that shifts my opinion a lot, we didn’t see erika a lot
I have to disagree with at least Mike Holloway. He had one of the best wins of all time imo. From switching sides to really playing the game, he fought very hard for the win even becoming public enemy #1 for weeks. To then win nearly every immunity is insane, he had to win or lose and he sure did. Give my man some credit even if it was a controversial season
How did Nick go from 18 last year to 30??? O-O
Yes Aubrey was in fact not robbed but Michelle’s winners at war game was very unimpressive she was the textbook definition of a goat always getting blindsided constantly on the wrong side of the votes and always coming back from tribal saying how badly it went she really does not make any big moves at all and is so easily persuaded into voting for Sophie the one time she was on the correct voting side
according to tony they did michelle dirty with the edit, as even though she always voted wrong she was considered somewhat of a threat (due to her social game) and managed to keep the target off of her back all game. In my view she deserved second place, or tied third where tony gets all the votes, but natalie didn't play better.
I strongly disagree with the winners at war sentiment. Michelle was consistently telling people who were on the outs where they were positioned and wanted to pull off moves, but nobody would listen. You can’t fault her when people like Nick and Jeremy outright choose to lose the game rather than working with her to try and win
Michelle was the only one to realize that they had to vote Tony when all the others (Ben, Sarah, Denise...) did nothing.
Tbh I’ve always had a soft spot for Natalie White… but my favorite winners have always been Ethan, Sandra, Parvati, Sophie and Carolyn… I mean YamYam 😅😂❤
