He’s in love with Boston Rob
Yep.
And Parv
I am too. Rob's handsome and very entertaining
Why wouldnt he be?
Cream pie
I would love to see Jeff actually compete on Survivor. That would be an interesting season. He seems like the kind of guy that wouldn't let emotions get in the way.
But then somebody else should be hosting.
Dark Zhiro a ‘producers season’ lol
Lol rob should host
@@sarahsamman7760 this is the only acceptable solution
Boston rob hosts the season Jeff plays Pog?
Jeff is probably the most well spoken person I have ever seen talk in my life. He knows how to hold a conversation
Dr Phil is pretty good too.
190%
You ought to watch more people talk
Too bad he is kinda a concieted dick
Parvati had the harder time in both seasons she played though imo. Rob had it difficult in All Stars, but in Redemption Island, he was leading a cult of stupid people
he played them so good he had total control. even in winners at war he told them all to dump out their bags and they all just listen to him he has such a dominance it’s insane
Ye tbf Rob got Tribe swapped HARD
@@timurtheking Rob did not get screwed by the swap. In Marquesas, he made it to the merge post swap but he could not keep his mouth shut. He did not even make the jury. Then on Winners at War, when the tribe shaped, he had the numbers in Adam and Ben. Its his fault that he got voted out. He doesn't have a good social game.
@@nicolletelangdon2694 brudda are you joking? Ben and Adam were not Rob'snumbers. Ben confirmed he had pregame ties/alliances with Sarah, which means he had a solid 3 with Sarah + Sophie. Adam liked Ben and therefore sided with him (smart anyway since he knew they had nnumbers)
Jesse Mullen ye but in hvv parvati was confused big time. For example, Russell told her that the heroes were voting for Jerri on the merge vote. But parvati didn’t know what to do so she played 2 idols even though she could’ve kept an idol. Still a great strategist. I just don’t think she’s the best.
parvati is the greatest of all time. nobody has orchestrated as many blindsides or made as many iconic moves as she has. not to mention her skill in physical challenges!
Facts
@@nateware6215 actually it's false by a lot.
@@ryankueter8396 for me among the women it's between Parvati and Cirie, for the men Tony or Boston Rob
@@jesuisencoler Cirie hahaha.
Jeff: Rob and Parvati are the best
Tony: Hold my spy shack
True but tony hadn’t played yet because this is just when season 27 is coming out
Russel:hold my haters
even rob was impressed with tony
@@_sassy_sisters thats the point of the comment; Jeff was about to see a sheer brilliance he had never seen before in only a couple months!
Tony: hold my bad of tricks
Tony Vlachos: *its time to introduce myself*
@MIDNIGHT Agreed. Tony is good. But, not GOAT.
@@nathanrice830 Bruh, everyone on Cagayan was good😂Rob won on Redemption island with crap players and Parv is a Flirt
And nobody trusted Tony in Game changer and the beginning of Winner at war. I love Rob but I'd have to put Tony a bit higher than rob
@@robtheservantof6257 Tony might be a bit higher than Rob. But, not GOAT.
@@robtheservantof6257 He might be better than B.R. But, not Parv.
Rob Mariano and Parvati Shallow I would agree are definitely on the list of the best survivors ever!!!
Rob sucks.
Lol your an internet thug, find yourself a girl fuck boi.
pinstripes4life11 I aint fucking off! You started this shit so you fuck off! P.S. I've seen every goddamned episode of survivor. So, yeah I think I know what Im talking about.
Nah you started it by not letting anyone have an opinion and posting hate comments on every boston rob fans comment. And you apparently know nothing of survivor.
pinstripes4life11 I know more than you. Keep it on Bitch! You cant outtroll me. Hell, I once argued with somebody on here for months!
Parvite Boston rob and Russell are my favorites of all time
*Parvati
Rob would have ran off with Heroes vs Villains if it weren't for THE dumbest move by Tyson Apostol.
It took Rob 4 tries to win, but the 4th try was the hardest because people knew who he was, the same can't be said about Russell.
***** "And would have likely axed him well before the end anyway" - Baseless presumptions by Doug.
***** Dunno why I waste my time with you, just merely pointing out that you are a hypocrite. You criticize people using "baseless presumption" yet you do it yourself. You must like the way you look in the mirror don't you.
+Doug Metris Amen brother! Rob's the most overrated player in history!
+Harry Warren The jury was also bitter in Samoa and hVV
+richter85 RE the hardest? LOL. With the exception of Francesca and that milf I forgot the name everyone on his tribe were sucking his balls. Just a bunch of sheep that had no idea how to play the game. The other tribe were just as bad, a bunch of clueless people scared shitless of Russell. And stop blaming Tyson and his stupid move. The fact was Rob got outplayed by Russel and his alliance, period.
Parvati is queen
Cierra Sandra is queen, Parvati is the princess
@@theimprobableone8635 Sandra is no Queen. She improved a lot over the last 3 years and she is pretty good player now but she was terrible the first two times she played.
Sandra trash. She cant play strategically when she does it backfires. Parv is what sandra should be
@@timurtheking Sandra played an absolute terrible game everytime except in Game Changers where she got screwed by the swap. She was playing a decent game before that though.
Now she came back and quit like the pathetic weak little person that she is.
I'm glad we are about to get another 2 time winner. This will help humble Sandra down a little bit.
@Falco Malleo Just because you win doesn't make you a good player.
When I first played hockey I could barely skate but I scored 2 goals officially because the puck happened to have hit my stick last before going into the net. Doesn't make me a good player.
Appeal to standings fallacy.
What he said about social politics at the end was incredibly insightful. I bet this guy knows a lot about human nature at this point. Would love to read his book
I may have never seen Robs first season but he was amazing beating everyone but his wife in all stars, he was running heroes vs villains before a risky move by Russle took him out... and in redemption Island.... he played the most perfect game that I have ever seen anyone play despite everyone knowing he was a huge threat....
I think the toughest to beat would be Russell. Yes, if you got to the final tribal council you could beat him, but getting up to that point is the challenge. If you're a smart player, you'd have to play smart while convincing Russell you're not a smart player and you're not a threat.
If you oppose him, or he views you as a threat, he will take you out of the game. He'll outwit you, outplay you, and outlast you.
Abyssionknight But, Rob beat him on redemption island...
+Abyssionknight This is why I will defend Natalie and Sandra to the death x)
***** Rob outlasted him. There was no outwitting or outplaying, only a tribe that threw immunity.
@@ElectrikkPaperClipxx how pathetic. You could have been an engineer, doctor or a survivor winner rather than defending them as if you're a lawyer, hell no you're not. How pathetic, poor guy seeking for attention. What you need ia mental help.
Respectfully I have to disagree, OP. He’s only won a total of 5 challenges so he’s easily outplayed that way. Russell’s ultimate downfall is his ego - he has to be the focal point, the “king” by his own admission. It alienates those around him when it counts most. His inability to manage a jury means by definition he cannot outwit and it’s why he’s lost to Parvati twice. He has no social game and that’s why he loses. Jeff is spot on, Rob and Parvati are the epitome of Survivor. They have the physical, mental, and social game down to a science. I’m not a huge Parvati fan but she’s an incredible player. Had Tyson not taken Russell’s bait, I think Rob would have won Heroes vs. Villains. I’m not saying Russell isn’t a great player in general, he’s made impressive and long lasting alliances, but he isn’t the toughest to beat. I’d say Sandra is up there as well, even though her physical game isn’t always the best.
Boston Rob was amazing at this game. All-star
The win was handed to him on a silver platter - or maybe I am just incorrectly remembering the automatons against whom he played.
Terry that was redemption. Rob lost allstars cuz salty jury altho he still shares Amber’s prize money
Timuru I took it that the previous poster was referring to Boston Rob personally as an All-star (as in a shining light of wonderfulness in Survivor playing) not the specific Survivor season entitled All-Stars.
I perhaps may have misinterpreted the meaning. Who knows? I suppose the original poster does.
Rob played Survivor 5 times, he only one once. That is only a 20% win ratio. That is NOT amazing. And the season he did win, he had a 3 time advantage of playing the game previously over the other players. It was pretty much handed to him.
Jeff: Parvati and Rob are the best players ever
Tony Vlachos appears
The question wasn't who the best were. The question was who would be the hardest to beat. Parvati is the hardest to beat. She was targeted day 1 on two seasons and made it to the end on both, managing to win one. In HvV, russell and Sandra did everything possible to try and get her voted out. Parvati either had too many allies, won immunities/had idols, or straight up fooled people into getting rid of someone else. Sandra is a great survivor, but if at any moment someone in control wanted her out, she would be out. Her great game is that she never made people in control want her out or she was so lucky bigger threats were around deep into the game. Parvati and Sandra can see when something lucky happens and use it to their advantage, but Parvati also creates paths for herself in case something goes wrong. Sandra creates a path for herself that leads her to win, but in any moment if her plan is derailed and they really want her out she is out. I mean in HvV all of the winners were targeted early except Sandra, she has less of a struggle. If she is on a tribe that keeps losing, she never makes it to the merge. Who knows is J'Tia could have won Cagayan if she made the merge, but because she was on a crap tribe, she never got the chance. People like Todd and Sandra lucked out on being on strong tribes, whereas people like Parvati make their tribes stronger.
' She was targeted day 1 on two seasons' And who saved her ass once? Russel carried her through whole game. Sorry for answering after 2 years.
But If she didnt allie with Russel, he wouldnt have saved her. I mean, she played a very social game, that's reason why she made Russell believe her...
Of course, she's a great player.
Anh Phương Nguyễn I disagree. Her only social connections were with Danielle and Russell who were both on the outs. Russell was the one to actually approach them both. Parvati was the one who had to buy into Russell. The logical move with a 3-3-3 split coming would be to vote out Russell because if he doesn’t play the idol, she goes home. Parvati is a great player but she ain’t the greatest. She benefited playing with Cirie in her 2nd season and Russell in her 3rd season
"Russell did everything possible to get Parvati voted out"
Excuse me, did you even watch the show?
Did Jeff spoil Cierra voting out her mom?
+Hunter Klein yeah I think he kinda did... not spoiling the name tho couldve been tina and her daughter
+Marco Paiva He was only hinting that something like that could happen.
1 R, right?
I met him at my friend’s kid’s bar-mitzvah…He might be the most genuinely nice person ever, didn’t mind Survivor questions, really funny, very cool guy
It's weird watching it now seeing how Jeff really gave away major clues for what will happen in the season
The only reason Sandra won in HVV is because the jury are bitter and they know Parvati should have won!
+PllTheroy if "they know Parvati should have won", they'd have voted for her.Hurr Durr.
Honestly, if everyone hates them both, that's bad jury management on their part, a very vital part of the game.
Agree
ElectrikkPaperClipxx that was the dumbest comment I've ever read 😂😂😂😂😂
PllTheroy Parvati played a crazy game, deserved the game on every level, she didn’t win because of bitterness out of her control, some believe that is obvious inability of her gameplay, though I don’t feel it is.
Every Survivor fan knows Boston Rob was the best ever. And they also know that after his season, which was so dominant even tho he didn't win, but he had his future wife win. That it almost could have ended the show. Because he was so dominant, he had everyone to the end at his beck and call
o.k. but that's like saying he was good in one season but that's it. Each season is its own animal. There's no such thing as the all stars actually in Survivor. Any past winners they've brought back are always dead in the water. That would include Rob of course. And he knows that, so he's good
He was mostly terrible. It took him 4 times and a heard of mindless sheep to win.
Should've won All Stars unanimously in may opinion. His win was tarnished by being his fourth attempt and a tribe full of mindless sheep and Special Agent Philip Shepherd
"Every Survivor fan knows Boston Rob was the best ever." Hardly the vast majority of Survivor fans I know dont think he is anywhere close. Neither do I. Didnt even make the jury 2 of his first 3 seasons, and even on his winning season needed to drag the 2 biggest goats in history to the end otherwise he loses hands down.
He shouldnt have won All Stars unanimously. His jury management and social game were atrocious. I think the jury overrated him by giving him 3 votes and having him nearly win. I have no idea why Kathy voted for him, and since Amber was the one who pulled Jenna and Rupert into an alliance with her and Rob, and not Rob, she should have gotten atleast one of their votes if not both based on that alone. Remember on Redemption Island his social game and jury management was much better than All Stars, and he still would have lost to everyone but Phillip, Natalie, and maybe Ashley (and even Ashley he might have lost to).
"Yo Jeff. I'ma let you finish, but Sandra is the best player of all time."
Two tries. Two wins. Two million dollars. You do the math.
sandra isn't a tough competitor like parvati and boston rob are, though. i love sandra, but she rode coattails both times.
I will never say that Sandra isn't one of the best to play the game because it is hard to win once much less then twice... but both times she was on strong tribes who didn't need to vote off week players and when they did start voting off players they were going for the larger targets in a different situation she could have gone earlier if her tribes where on a losing streak... that is where a little bit of luck comes into play.
in heroes versus villains, however, i think parvati deserved to win because not only did she make big moves throughout the game, but she also won consistent individual immunity challenges. sandra is just easily over-looked.
well you have to give credit where credit is due she was not a coat tail rider she never was just along for the ride and her biggest move was making it look like a vote for her was a vote for the heroes side and when that happened she won because there was more heroes on the jury... and that was the winning factor all of the heroes voted for Sandra and all the villains respected parvati's game more but when she made it look like a vote for Sandra was a vote for a hero she made Russel look dumb for taking her to the end...
She just got lucky. E.g. in HvsV was never in control of the game and got to the end because people who controlled the game thought that nobody would vote for a useless player like her.
SO TRUE I LOVE BOSTON ROB AND PARVATI
I agree with Jeff completely, Boston Rob and Parvati are the best. I wish those 2 are in a survivors season in the future.
Rob's overrated. Parv is good tho.
You got your wish baby
the delay keeps making me laugh
I just watched the heroes vs. villains season and Parvati is unbelievably adept at Survivor. I have to wonder if Jeff says Rob is good because fans think so? I'm definitely on the "I can't stand him" side of things. I would love to see another season with Parvati and Russell. Those two just always seemed to have a way to keep each other in check.
I can't stand Rob either.
Parvati was not great in Heroes vs Villains IMO, she was on the outs of way too many things that Russell was doing to advance their position (getting Tyson to vote himself out, flipping Jerri and Coach, getting JT’s idol, flipping Candice, blindsiding Danielle, etc)
@@giovannigalvano9295 Parvati's double idol play is what won the game for the villains. Then when Russell tried betraying her she won individual immunity twice in a row and then got Russell to take her to the final 3. Also Russell had the advantage of no one knowing who he was while everyone was afraid to team up with Parvati.
I can't imagine anyone other than Jeff hosting the show. His comments are so hilarious.
parvati is definitely one of the greatest, she played SUPERBLY.
but Rob? it took him FOUR tries to win, and on top of that only won because he was on a tribe of all new players who worshipped him like a god.
playing the game four times and not even making it to the jury, TWO out of your four tries is far from the best ever.
AntmAllStar but if u played on survivor u might understand
Jo's World Dude, shut up. AntmAllStar isn’t wrong. Boston Rob got eliminated premerge twice and only won in Redemption Island cuz he was playing with a bunch of newbies
Parv always makes it to Jury, second time she won. She almost won third but Boston rob is just shit
Shinguuji Korekiyo Rob is the shit . Even in 2018 . A Legend
Fornite master took him 4 times to win and the only time he did was because he was around a bunch of dweebs who worshipped him and were to afraid to make a move without his consent. So please, stop.
There is no "best Survivor player"; however, Jeff is more voting based on the more interesting style of play and who he thinks has the best concept to win the game. Yes, Sandra may have won twice, but Jeff might not like her concept of playing. For example, would you say that Natalie, who beat Russell Hantz in Samoa, is a better player than Amanda Kimmell or Cirie Fields? Stating a "Best Survivor Player" is more of an opinion question than a fact. Stop getting butt hurt over Probst's opinions. I actually do think that Boston Rob is the greatest Survivor player of all time because he understands the concept of Survivor so well. He was a winner who relied very little on Luck to get to the final 2/3 and win. He reads people well and knows who to trust, who not to trust, when to turn on people, etc. Actually, one of my favorite moments of Survivor happened on the very first episode of Redemption Island. That moment was when Boston Rob asked Kristina to give up her idol and she refused. That told Rob that she clearly could not be trusted. That was a very smart move in my opinion. Basically my point of this giant paragraph is that you people should stop getting butt hurt because there is no true "Best Survivor". It's an opinion more so than a fact. Hell, I can say Richard Hatch is the best Survivor player because he's the one who basically invented Survivor. It depends on how you look at it as "Best Survivor Player". If you want to base it off of stats, then Sandra wins because of her 2 wins in only 2 tries. Next would be Parvati for playing the most days and winning once.
Well said. It's refreshing to hear the opinion of a true survivor fan
Jackie88888888 Thank you. I love discussing Survivor in a somewhat professional conversation. Just curious, who do you think is the best Survivor contestant?
TheBBallEnthusiast I know you didn't ask me but I think Rob C. was the best survivor player
CenterTheComedy Haha nah man, even if I didn't ask you, I'd still want to know your opinion! To be honest, I didn't watch Amazon because I hated the guys tribe so I stopped watching after Daniel got kicked off (I didn't like Daniel but I just couldn't stand that season) but I wish I watched it because of Cesternino. But from what I know, Cesternino is the guy who flip flopped on every alliance he was in without people knowing that he did it. I think he's a good player but his only mistake in All-Stars was that he actually had a heart and put his trust in Boston Rob. I thought Rob C. would be in HvV but I guess not haha
yeah haha I really hope to see him in a furture season
The whole “he was playing with newbies” is a dumb counterargument. Russell was eliminated second and Andrea has been shown to be a cunning strategist. Rob made sure his allies wouldn’t betray him by blindsiding Matt and through the buddy system. He controlled every tribe he’s been on, marquesas he was at a steep disadvantage, all stars he should’ve won and masterminded the game, he was in control of the villains until Tyson was a dumbass.
cowboy7597 YAASSS thank u, I feel like Boston Rob doesn’t get the credit he deserves for winning season 22
@@ellanosek2622 I feel the same way! People who don't like him will say anything to discredit his victory rather than admit he played the perfect game lol
@@martina-dd6vb People who discredit him have legitimate reasons.
@@JudeMarchisio yeah like hating him :D for real though, you all can have your "legitimate reasons" I couldn't care less, in my opinion, he rocks and there's a reason he's become one of the survivor legends, nothing's gonna change my mind so there's no point in trying
@@martina-dd6vb that's just it. it doesn't matter what haters bring to the table upon someone, it's not like that's gonna make you realize "hey, i suddenly hate say boston rob now that i know 'he didn't deserve it' or something" like no you're obviously still gonna like him.
i agree. i don't get why people have so much hatered towards him. He's really good at challenges, great strategist
The goal of the game is to get to the end and get enough jury votes to win. Sandra has achieved that TWICE while no one else has, therefore she is the best player of all time.
Dominykas Daukša not only that but she has never lost (until season 34 :(((((( )
Agreed! Sandra is the best player because she has won every time she played without winning one immunity challenge or finding one idol. The 2nd time was the most impressive because she ALREADY WON. How? Her jury management is flawless. Many contestants (cough Russell cough) forget that the jury awards the $1M, not the editors or the viewers (except that time with Rupert). They focus on breaking challenge records, making "big moves", "building their resumes", etc. But that only enlarges the target on a person's back. The best games played were Sandra and Jeremy's 2ND times. Both won against formidable all-stars and twists.
No it's really not. This isn't poker. You have to get to the end whilst managing the jury. The player who wins always deserves it.
GrandSlam5 don't count her out yet
jdfodio she actually did find an idol
I think Jeff forgets that Rob lost 3 times and didn't make it to the jury on 2 of those occasions.
rob Boston is just really good. russel came at the top evertime but never won. does that mean that he isnt good at what he does?? its not about winning its about ahveing the right character and the right social skills.
Burwayn Ardi It does in fact. Russell is terrible at Survivor.
QualityOfTheBeard you're stupid.
Burwayn Ardi The fact that he gave two awful jury performances indicates that he sucks. Amanda Kimmel could beat him.
***** you dont know what you are talking about.
Rob, Russel, Parvati. Yeah he didn’t win, but he set the path for future survivors. He changed the game.
Could you imagine if Jeff hosted tar and Phil hosted survivor
The tribe...... has spoken!
i hope this show lasts forever i dream of competing
And here we are in 2023, where I have just finished watching Season 44❤ And I am still loving the show ❤
*Most overrated players* = Russell, Sandra
*Best Survivor player* = Parvati
*Comment who you think the best Survivor player is:*
Parvati!!!
Tony.
If Sandra hadn't have won the second time, people wouldn't care about her, that's when you know she's not very good. I agree with Jeff alot
If this happens when the seasons with Tony came out Tony would have been on the list
forever fan of boston rob😍😍
Im not.
Personally I would say Yul.
An intellectual, Yul is the GOAT. Period..
I cant say Yul just because he didn't really do anything. He got lucky and found an idol and talked an idiot into flipping by showing him the idol. He was using Ozzy as a shield and had Ozzy not been around he would not have made it to the end.
@Sally Vee But having that item does not make someone the best player.
@Puppy Has Spoken Nah he got lucky with the most broken hidden immunity idol ever, Personally i think Tony is the GOAT. I don't really like him all that much but he did way more then Yul did in his season.
I want to see a season where Jeff Probst is a contestant
Boston Rob is definitely a great player but he is not the best player of all time. Probst likes him because he's charismatic and he's probably the most popular Survivor, which on TV is huge. The problem is that Rob has only won because he's come back so many times. Twice he didn't even make the jury and once he made the final only to lose because his jury management is terrible. Anyone who comes back four times has a decent chance to win and Rob is the only one to have been given that opportunity. Rob isn't even the best Survivor player if you take out the jury because Russell Hantz is by far the most dominant player. I have watched a ton of Survivor and I think two of the best overall players are pretty quiet and not overly popular. Kim Spradlin dominated her season and made almost no mistakes and was a physical threat to boot. By far the most underrated Survivor is Stephen Fishbach who came second behind J.T. Thomas, probably the most likeable Survivor ever. Fishbach played a perfect strategic game despite having no physical gifts and absolutely no charisma. He gave credit to Thomas for the strategy which sent the two of them to the final two, but I think he was being generous. When Thomas came back for Heroes and Villains, he made one of the biggest mistakes in Survivor history, something which Fishbach would never have done. Parvati and Sandra are both very good players, but Parvati is probably a little better. I would LOVE to see Kim Spradlin and Parvati play each other. It would be amazing.
Rob not only came in second, he worked it that his future wife won, and he came in second. Best player ever
Jim Beam Yul and Tony were far more dominant during their seasons than Russel. Take into account that Yul had to face against Ozzy and Tony had to take out Spencer and Kass. Russell had an easy season full of injuries and young dumb ass. Plus, considering Rob ended up with Amber he definitely was the sole winner that season in his eyes. Plus, to win a season with such a target on your head is quite an achievement, while still keeping his cool. Hantz was dramatic for the spotlight.
***** Drugs. That's the only thing I can think of to justify your response. YOu must be on drugs. Russel dominates the day to day game like no other. Yul had to rely on his female partner who was in NO WAY his puppet the way Natalie was Russell's. Yul was lucky on numerous occasions and only made the finals once. Tony is a great player and he dominated but talk to me when he has done it twice, especially against dominant all-stars who know what they're dealing with. Russell's second season was masterful. He had a HUGE target on his back but made it to the final anyway and beat Rob in the process. Tony has a long way to go to equal that.
If you think Rob had a huge target on his head try Russell's second season. And Rob wasn't very close to winning that season with Amber. The vote was close, but people hated him and nobody that voted for amber were close to changing their vote his way.
Jim Beam
Beat him!? Russel didn't even win that season so how can he have beat him? Russel had to rely on an immunity idol every season! The move on Lex to save Amber was the biggest manipulated move on survivor. Yeah, Russel can attempt to scare his opponents but no one was scared. You say "especially against dominant all-stars". Almost positive season 8, the season Rob carried Amber to victory was against even harder All-Stars...
You claim Yul was lucky!? Are you stupid? It was Yul who got them into the top 4 (Passed top 9) When he convinced Jonathon to switch for a second time! The fact that Tony called every single play how it was and it folded out the way he intended was marvelous. He was bending emotions while no one knew it was him. Thus, why he won. "Russel dominates the day to day game". If anything it's complete opposite. He dominates at the last minute find immunity idol game. A game that Rob hadn't even experienced before season 22. If anyone dominated day to day game it would've been Tony. He manipulated almost every jury decision and had perfect blindsides while finishing the game on top. Russel is just a poster child who can convince young dumbass girls while players like Yul and Tony are marionettes even to the strongest players, their dominance within the game shows by the fact that they didn't even really need to win Immunity Challenges to win.
***** " Russel didn't even win that season."
Since when is this discussion about winning seasons? The whole premise of my argument is that Russell is the best PRE JURY player. If you aren't aware that that's what I'm discussing then you have no business in this conversation.
"Russel had to rely on an immunity idol every season! The move on Lex to save Amber was the biggest manipulated move on survivor."
You seem to be completely ignoring ALL aspects of the game and are exclusively focussing on your narrow idea of what makes a great player. I'm talking about making it to the jury and that INCLUDES FINDING THE IDOL. In fact Russell completely turned the game on its head by repeatedly finding the idol. That's a SKILL and it's one of Russell's fortes. To preclude that from this argument is be having another discussion entirely.
"....but no one was scared." That's a RIDICULOUS comment and not even worthy of a response.
"Almost positive season 8.... was against even harder All-Stars" Utter NONSENSE. As the game has evolved, players learn much more about strategy and how to win. It makes being a threat MUCH harder as people have learned that removing threats is what it takes to win. In earlier seasons, even all-stars were naive at times.
"You claim Yul was lucky!? Are you stupid?" No, YOU are stupid. Yul was a great player but he had a HUGE advantage by having Becky in his back pocket. She was a fellow Korean and because of that they had a built in bond. He didn't have to work for that bond the way Russell did with Natalie and all of his girls.
"Tony.... was bending emotions while no one knew it was him." Russell was also calling the game and most of the time people KNEW it was him bending emotions which is even harder than what Tony did.
"Russel is just a poster child who can convince young dumbass girls." Again, this is something that Russell innovated and added to the game. No player in Survivor history targetted younger women and exploited them prior to Russell. Russell saw a vulnerability and exploited it and in doing so added the "dumb young girl" factor to the game. You're viewing his strategy in hindsight which is completely ignoring Russell's innovations and creativity towards survivor. A further irony is that Rob STOLE this strategy from Russell to beat him in their head to head. If Russell had the same group that Rob had in that season then Russell would have made a THIRD jury. The only reason Rob won, was getting lucky with his tribe mates.
"....that they didn't even really need to win Immunity Challenges to win." This is your dumbest comment to date. If ANYONE didn't use challenges to win, it's Russell. Yul was very good in challenges.
To sum up, I think you're a TERRIBLE Survivor critic and only seem to view the game through a strategic lens all the while ignoring or downplaying things like Idols and manipulation. Russell is a horrible person who basically uses young women the way pimps use whores, but he understands enough about human nature to be able to exploit human weaknesses. You are completely subjective againt Russell just based on his offensive personality but a cold, clear-eyed view of the game shows that he's EASILY the most dominant player from beginning to jury in survivor history.
Now we are almost on season 40
I think we could go to suvivor season 50 lol, each seasons different and it is continually evolving, as long as they dont mess with it too much and let some new players become the legends we know today.
Keaton Dayne *cough* *cough* to many idols/advantages
Well, we're already up to 41 with 42 on the way as well, so 50 is definitely a possibility!
I love he didnt know the camera was running so he scratched his eye
But russel has never won and this happend because of his bad relationships with people. Also, we went to play back to back seasons and no one really knew him. on redemption island people knew his gameplay, so he was voted out fast. i liked what rob said about russel "he plays to get to the end, not to win" and i think that this is true
Sandra only won season 20 because it was a super bitter jury, she didnt do jackshit
***** Survivor is about reaching the final to give yourself a chance to win. Sandra played twice and won twice. To be honest I would have thought she had no chance in either series she played but she knows what is required to win.
Also I think Natalie from the last season is way under-rated. I saw her and her sister on the Amazing Race and they were pretty abrasive. When I saw they were going on Survivor I thought neither of them had any chance of winning. Just goes to show that if you can play the game you can win.
aussiemedia1959 i dont think Sandra did know what she had to do, i think she just played to attempt to survive and then got lucky when she got to the end with 2 people the jury hated, the other 2 didnt play well votewise but that doesnt mean Sandra did.
Like Russell was mocking her about at the reunion, Outwit Outplay Outlast, her Strategy: "Get rid of russell" that clearly never happened. Outplay, she is probably one of the worst challenge performers in survivor history.
***** "[sandra] didn't well vote wise" have you not watched heroes vs villains in a long time or something? because if you haven't, try re-watching it and pay attention to sandra, basically everything she did was in order to get jury votes She had literally all of the heroes votes secured from the fact that she repeatedly tried to save them but they were all too dumb to ever listen to her, she had Courtney's vote secured because they were best friends, she won a lot of the other jury votes when she pulled the idol out of her bra in the middle of tribal- you'd have to be an idiot (like Russel, because no-one that's actually good at survivor would not only backstab everybody on the jury and make final 3 deals with everybody right before getting them voted off, not only one time, but doing it TWICE IN A ROW- any body could play like russell did, it's just that they all know that won't get them any jury votes) to not realize that if she got to the finals, no matter who she was up against, she'd end up winning the jury.
(And besides, I really don't understand how you can think someone can win the game 2 different times- literally the only two seasons they've been on- and seriously think that she doesn't know how to play very well.)
It's so easy to dismiss Sandra cos she keeps a low profile but make no mistake - no one wins twice by luck. Sandra is the epitome of a true Survivor and her two wins speaks for itself.
AnthonyS BlackStarKeepShining I love it when Russell goes through her game at the reunion:
Her strategy: Get rid of russell.
Physical game: One of the worst physical players in survivor history
its hilarious he shoots straight from the hip hahaha
theyre all good in different ways, rob is only good now because he played so many times hes pro, and russell is completely different which makes him unique, but really theres soooo many good players that have different styles of playing and winning
Here's why I think Rob deserves the title as one of the best. While he didn't make the jury in Marquesas, he controlled the Maraamu tribe. He convinced his tribe to vote out their strongest member because he was a threat to Rob's game. Once the swap came, he lost power and never got it back. I'm not going to say "Screwed by the swap, he would've won if there wasn't a swap" but he at least could've made the jury if there was no swap (Rotu probably would've gone into the merge with numbers and pagong Maraamu). Then we get to All Stars. His game in Survivor: All Stars is one of the best non-winning games ever played. He controlled Chapera with his queen Amber, he made sure he had good relationships with his entire tribe,and voted out the right people at the right time. He convinced Lex to save Amber with only 10 words, he turned Big Tom and Rupert against each other at Final 5 when it would make perfect sense for them to team up, and he convinced Jenna not the draw rocks at Final 4. His only mistake was taking Amber to the end and not Jenna. I believe Kathy, Alicia, ShiiAnn, and Amber would all vote for Rob in the end over Jenna. I think we can all admit that Rob deserved to win All Stars. He was also controlling the Villains until the infamous Tyson move. He might have been able to pull it again without a player like Parvati up against him. Plus his game in Redemption Island in a vacuum is one of the most dominating games in Survivor history. Anyone who says Rob is a terrible player is delusional. Anyone who says Russell is better than him is delusional. I can see Parvati ahead of him, but I think Rob is definitely a Top 5 player at least.
GanondorfBowserHatch Rob did not deserve to win All Stars. The key to winning Survivor is to get to the end with people less likeable than you (which for Rob is a very small pocket of people always) and Rob failed to do that in All Stars. Ambers social game was way better and she got to the end with Rob so she deserved to win.Also hahaha at Alicia voting for Rob over ANYONE. Don't be an idiot. Rob would have lost to Jenna too. His social game had been so bad and with no monstrous goats as bad as Phillip or Tenerelli that season he was always losing most likely.It is funny you call Rob on Redemption Island one of the most dominant after saying everyone should just accept he was robbed on All stars. Had he gotten to the finals of Redemption Island with anyone except Phillp and Natalie Tenerelli he loses. He admits so himself, and the whole cast confirm this, so dont even start with delusions of otherwise.So had Ashley not won the F5 immunity and Grant makes the finals, or Ashley not won the F4 immunity and Ashley makes the finals, you would be whining he was supposably robbed twice, and yet that is the most dominating. No.Of course Rob is a good player. Just nowhere near the best ever. Not even close.
+GanondorfBowserHatch Rob is not better than Russell cuz the only time he and Russell ever truly went head 2 head on the same tribe, Russell schooled him! I won't say he's a terrible player, but I do think he's highly overrated. I mean, he didn't even make the jury 2 out of the 4 times he played.
True, but imo, both Rob and Parvati lost in the finals because of bitter juries. I think they both gave amazing arguments but majority of the jury still didn't vote for them because they were upset (at Rob himself in All-Stars, and at Russell in HvV, whom Parvati aligned with). But I agree that some definitely failed miserably in the FTC, especially Amanda. She could've won twice but gave terrible answers.
"Bitter juries" or they were terrible douches and that xoes catch up with them. The jusy gets to decide why they vote.
I can say for sure based on their play styles and personalities I wouod be voting them out day 1
Rob, seriously? He had to play 4 times to win, and won on the worst season ever (which was basically over once Russell was voted off the season).
+Harry Warren Half the game is getting to the end. The other half is convincing the jury. Doesnt matter who deserved to win in the eyes of the public/viewers. I also think that Parv should have won HvV given how she entered in a scenario where 7 people on her tribe wanted her out, and she did a lot in the challenges as opposed to Sandra. But she didn't, so tough ^.^
+Harry Warren Yeah she actually did! Cuz he was a Dick!
+Break the ice Wrong Russell should of won. All Parv did was ride Russell's coat tails and her only move was to play two idiols for her two tribe mates.
+Break the ice You're dumb. Rob is the GOAT. The final jury vote is retarded and Amber never should have won.
+Jamie Fleury Agreed! parvati isn't as smart as ppl make her out to be. She was horrible in cook islands & only won micronesia bcuz of Amanda sucked infront of jury. In micronesia, her only move was to get those two girls. Cirrie did all the planning & parvati took all the credit. Amanda made the move to save her self & convinced erik to pick her so parvati didnt do shit. I think that was cirries idea as well when erik gave up immunity.. executed by natalie.
Russel should've won both his seasons. Hes the reason coach & jerry followed em. not bcuz of parvati. coach saw thru paravati's bs but believed russell. You can't beat that. Russell also saved parvatis ass.
My Survivor Mount Rushmore (4 best players ever): Tony, Sandra, Boston Rob, Parvati
I completely agree. They really almost should be everyone's elses
@@gqprince2 Thanks. Kim Spradlin and Sarah Lacina are also great players, but I didn’t put them on
@@sethbryant5539 they prolly my next two
2 men, 2 women. But according to Sarah in season 40, Survivor rewards men over women. She did so while sitting at tribal with 4 women and 2 men remaining.
Yeah, especially because the last 6 winners were all men
Jeff admires the players who dominate in challenges. I don't think he appreciates the kind of game Sandra plays.
Sandra outwits and outlasts. It's a legitimate way to play and I would say, 2 for 2 trumps all.
Parvati isn't really a dominating challenge competitor. She's good but not someone who has to rely on winning them. He admires Parvati because she had to play chess from the second everyone on both tribes saw her on the beach. Sandra was playing checkers all the way through HvV. She might have won but the degree of difficulty of the game Parvati had to play vs everyone else because of the way people viewed her before the game started was off the charts. Sandra wouldn't even be competitive in a similar situtation. She'd be gone.
Sandra was really the beneficiary of some massive luck in her second season. She was never in a dominant position and she was more or less dragged to the end as a goat when Russell had a brain explosion and voted off Danielle. Sandra is probably the luckiest player definitely not the best.
Chris Lawlor Parv kind of is a dominating challenge competitor, having won three individual immunities? Endurance challenges involve a shit-ton of skill.
ElSpewtardo Sandra did a good job outwitting Russell into thinking she was a goat, even though it was obvious that the heroes were on her side. Dominant positions don't mean much when they lack jury management.
Tough to manage the heroes jury though with all the bruised egos and what not. Parv lost the game then Russell voted off Danielle but she had no choice but to align with him from the beginning. I think Parv played the best game that season. I think Russell voting off Danielle goes to show how awful he is at the game.
He's basing their performance off of their social game not their coattail riding game like Sandra.
Danielle Christensen LOL Rob could only dream of having Sandra's "social game". We saw what happened between the two when both were on a season with real players, unlike the fixed R1 season when they went out of their way to only recruit people who had never watched Survivor before, Rob, and Russel.
I will give Rob credit for doing well in All Stars, the only time he did well in 4 games against anyone decent. Still horrible jury management cost him the game.
2:50 The Culpeppers and the Marianos are the only couples to both get to the end
Ya, Parvati almost replaced Sandra for Island of the idols.
He seriously predicted cierra voting her mom out🤯, Jeff is insane
LOL at Boston Rob, he didn't even make the jury 2 of the first 3 times he played and then won at Redemption Island on a season where the other contestants were in awe of him basically just wanted to watch him play. Jeff just has a man-crush on Boston Rob and likes players that make for good television, otherwise how on Earth do you not say Sandra?!?!
AMEN!
AMEN
I can't speak to her first win because I didn't watch it, but in HvV, Sandra only made it to the end through extreme luck and because she was so incredibly non-threatening. Russell rightfully brought her to the end because she didn't do anything and assumed the jury wouldn't respect her for being a goat; if he had any idea they would vote for her just to spite him because they were bitter and petty, he would have had her eliminated because he controlled the game.
First, she decided to align with Boston Rob, but her alliance was eliminated by Russell and she only survived because of the merge. From there, she lost every immunity challenge, and kept trying to vote out the very person who was carrying her to the end, and kept failing. She only made it to the end because she happened to be the least threatening member of the villains tribe, and she only beat Russell and Parvati because the council was so bitter that Russell outplayed all of them that they wouldn't even vote for Parvati because she didn't disavow him.
actually rob never made it to the jury.
Marquesas: voted out before the jury
All stars: final 2
HvV:voted out before the jury
redemption island: WINS
richard hatch is the best
he created the very first alliance and completely changed the way the game is played not only on survivor, but big brother too
What about Yul? Wasn’t he a really good strategist?
of course it was impressive! First you are forgetting all stars where he out lasted the best of the best at that time. he only lost because he took the woman he loves to the finals. then coming into the game with a bunch of newbies who should all take him out at the beginning but he finds a way to not only let them play with them but to twist all of their minds to the point that everyone of them almost bowed to his will. in my mind no one has ever played better. who do you think is the best?
chris daugherty is probably one of the best winners imo but shame he was a forgotten winner. cbs wont even make a call for him to play again.
In the season game changers Sandra was actually doing a great job, she got tony out, and a lot of other people who were gunning for her, but the only reason why she got out was because every single person who played that season knew that Sandra has to get out because there is no clean slate when they would switch tribes, Sandra had to find a way to get the target off of her back and she had a huge target because she won twice. I think that Sandra and Parvati are some of the best people to ever play survivor
What I think about Sandra is everyone likes her and that is her strategy and it worked 2 tines. I don't think it would ever work again though so I think it was kinda smart and Parvati or Russ should have won season 20
tbh Jeff Probst is the best survivor player ever!
Jeff is an amazing host
Nah. Yul Kwon is the best survivor player.
1. He won the the first time he played.
2. Good in Challenges
3. Great strategic player
4. He won with an idol but never played it to immune himself
5. Managed to take down a whole tribe one by one while he was in a minority alliance.
6. Ozzy was his strongest rival, he could've voted him out soon but he chose loyalty over greed.
7. Everyone says Parvati is the greatest, but Yul beat Parvati with no sweat.
He was probably ignored as the greatest player coz he's asian.
Because he’s Asian? Lol okay 👌
Yul had a SUPER idol, it would be automatically be played if they voted for him, and everyone knew he had an idol so nobody voted for him, lol. And it wasn't Yul who won most of the challenges in the Aitu 4, it was Ozzy.
@@mxm3821 would u have voted for ozzy if u were on da jury
@@johnnycrash4892 Yeah, only because of the stupid OP advantage Yul got - If he didn't have the super idol then I'd probably vote Yul
Jeff has always had the hots for Parvati. He glows around her.
That's odd, I wonder why
Along came Russell who played Rob and carried Parvati in survivor Hero's vs Villians.
this interview was after that.... and the reason russell never won is because his social game absolutely sucked...threatening people, calling people dumbasses right to their face and in front of everyone and several other things that im not gonna list. But anyway...u cant treat people like shit then expect them to vote for u lol... i am actually a russell fan ...he's a genius manipulator and he would have won EASILY twice if he knew how to at least pretend to be a good person.
If Russell was any good, he would have been like Brian Heidik. He was a major league dickwad like Russell too, but he managed to pretend like he was a good guy and took someone to the end who he could actually beat.
Also yeah, Boston Rob best player ever, only took him 4 times to win lol
I'm agreed with you.. Russell is always my best player in the survivor. Genius manipulator and mastermind of the game.. He can go top 3 anytime, but as the winner?.. nah~ just top 3.
There are good connections between Rob and jeff. Moreover，jeff really likes dominates player. Therefore，he may not appropriate Sandra
Rob easily had the most dominant performance ive ever seen in RI.
I really hate when people disrespect the Queen by saying she just won twice through luck. She was an expert of the UNDER-THE-RADAR game, that’s the point guys! Just because her game isn’t flashy doesn’t mean it isn’t worthy!
Parvati Shallow and Sandra are my favourites
I can totally respect what Boston Rob did in his following seasons, but come on, the dude didnt even make the jury in his first season, and to me, what someone does in their first season is the truest measure of their abilities as a Survivor. The season he finally won was one of the worst seasons of all time, the whole tribe was in awe of him so much that it was painful to even watch. Jeff loves Boston Rob because Jeff loves higher ratings, and interesting characters, which is what Boston Rob is.
I agree Rob loosing badly in his 1st season is an argument against him. The counter argument is that he "became" the greatest player. Like Gretzky or Jordon didn't win right away, they became the greatest in their sports.
Couldn't agree more! Boston Rob is the single most overrated player of all time!
ahem. I think that you guys forgot about Tony on the current season. He is up in the top 10 for sure
The foreshadowing of Ciera voting her mother out.
I personally think Russell Hantz was the best Survivor player of all time. I was absolutely beside myself when he didn't win...then twice!
And then he gets voted off 2nd (his first tribal) on Australian survivor lol
he played to get to the end not to win
Well actually, you're right, Amber did better than Rob in the FTC because of her honesty, despite Rob's arguments. But really, you could tell that most of the Heroes were much more impressed with Parv's gameplay (especially Rupert and Colby) than with Sandra's. Yeah, she tried to help them and that's a major factor in her getting their vote, but the other huge factor is that they were pissed at Russell and didn't like the fact that Parv was allied with him and refused to vote for her.
boston rob; in the marquases(season4) he was a good but not great player. in all stars(season 8) he played the most dominating game ever played at the time and made the final 2, coming in 2nd to his fiance and future wife, amber. in heroes vs villians(season 20) he was playing just as amazing when tyson was tricked into wasting his vote which got him voted out instead of russell [it would have been a 3way tie between parvati/russell/tyson, with 6 votes being split on the parv and russell and the parv/russell/danielle alliance of 3 voting on tyson. then the 6 would vote out whoever didnt play the idol, russell being 1st option. russell (lied)told tyson he would vote parv, which would of made it a 4-3-2 vote, so for some reason tyson threw his vote at her as well when it was suppose to go to russell. russell kept his vote on tyson which made it 4votes-parv 3votes-tyson 2votes-russell, then russell played his idol on parvati cancelling her 4 votes, leading to tyson going home 3-2.] that led to the demise of rob, he wasnt out played or out witted really, just lost because of a 'team mate' making a flat out stupid mistake. and in redemption island(season 22) he played the greatest game thats ever been played... he's played 2 of the top 5 games i've ever seen, maybe the best 2 games ever, and he was right on track in heroes vs villains. easily the best survivor we've seen so far.
Oh snap Chris. I didn't know you interviewed Jeff. :o
tony and Sandra have entered the chat
Boston Rob is overrated and Parvati is really good but in my opinion I think Russel would be really hard to beat. I know everyone hates him but he was an amazing player despite never winning because all the jury was butt hurt he out smarted them.
Totally agree!
Leslie is the ceo of CBS
boston rob is absolutely amazing
Boston Rob and Parvati are both GREAT players, but lol @ them being the best ever. In my opinion, the best players ever are Sandra/Brian H./Kim S.
As far as I'm concerned, If you didn't win the first time you played, you are immediately disqualified from the conversation of 'best player ever'.
Rimbaud1531 that counts out Rob. which is ridiculous. "the buddy system"? come on. rob is awesome.
robey wan Yeah, he's so awesome it only took him FOUR times to finally win...
I agree Rob loosing badly in his 1st season is an argument against him. The counter argument is that he "became" the greatest player. Like Gretzky or Jordon didn't win right away, they became the greatest in their sports.
I agree. Also, Chris Daughtrey for breaking up his season's black widow brigade.
Uh, there is such a thing as Survivor All Stars, it was a while ago and it was all vets. They've actually done a decent amount of seasons where veterans play again.
3:31 "One of us needs to get to the end, and that's all that matters." If you're asking who the best at doing this is, hands down it's Russell. He's the best and always will be.
It didn't end in 2014 it's still going on
I completely agree that Parvati is the best, however I disagree with Boston Rob. I mean, it took the guy FOUR seasons to finally win. I am sorry, but it taking someone four times to win does not equal the best player to me. And, let's be honest, Redemption Island was tailor made for him to win anyways. Jeff basically admits to liking Boston Rob the most, and I think that weighs his decision. At the end of the day, it really has nothing to do with how well they play the game. Come on Probst!
The thing that makes Rob not as good as players like Sandra (besides his inferior record) is that he's good at the game in a way that's really obvious to others. The part of Survivor where he falls down is in the area of shifting the focus to other people. He's like a walking bullseye, and that's not a good thing.
Sandra on the other hand is the ultimate focus-shifter, which is why she's won twice despite appearing on the outside like someone who you'd be surprised to see make the merge.
Boston rob won season 8 all stars basically come on. by ONE freaking vote, he lost. but he did all the work. Amber did the same thing Natalie did by hiding behind Rob's and Russells back.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWVWW Nope! Rob lost fair and square cuz he's a douche!
Amen!
Thurman Ulrich I disagree.
Parvati is queen but Ozzy overall is the beast :D 4 v 8 control game who did this ? YUL BRAINS AND OZZY SURVIVE SKILLS take in top :D
Richard hatch is the best player by a good margin
Richard was the first person to see the game for what it was.
20 more years!
I have been watching since season one. Remember that girl from the first season that did a comedy movie. always thought she was so cool.
Russell Hantz GOAT
He changed the game bro. On Millenials v Gen X they were all acting like scoundrels as if thats just the way the game "has evolved"
Who has never won and will never win.
Team Parvati!!!
Parvati won 1 Season (Survivor Micronesia) she played (Heroes Vs Villains, Cook Islands and Micronesia) she played 114 days, she reached the final 3 two times (Micronesia and Heroes Vs Villains) she was the 7th member of the jury (Cook Island).
She is just brilliant!
Then Rob played 4 times (Marquesas, All-Stars, Heroes Vs Villains and Redemption Island). In my opinion he isn’t a really good player he was early out on Marquesas and on Heroes Vs Villains, he didn’t even make the jury. Then he just reached the final in All-Stars because of Amber (Rob and Amber ruined that season) and then he won the worst Survivor Season (Redemption Island) it had the worst twist and he was the only one who was competing because everyone else was floating...
Rob should be on 10th place
I personally believe Cochran is an amazing player but not many others do
0:09 hehe, well you aren't really sitting..😂😅
Sandra is the best player only because she won twice but I agree that Parvati is an amazing player and probably the second best
