Denise is my favorite winner! I think she played an almost perfect social game and understood exactly what she needed to do to get to win. Lots of folks put her win down because she almost brought Malcolm but we judge folks based on what they did, not what they almost did.
Watching her and Mal’s comeback that season was a marvel. I loved Denise-she even got a great spotlight moment in Winners at War when she picked Sandra off. Also, I loved how the longer the season went, the more Denise looked like Tom Waits.
In Winners at War she was downright bad though. So disappointed with her.
@@basicsimp8798 she wasnt downright bad though. Literally all her fellow survivors felt she was playing one of the strongest games when she was voted out according to the different podcasts Ive listened to. I dont even understand how you can say her game was bad as if it was her fault she didnt have the numbers.
@@rogerdodger1984 this, also maybe more than any other season, based on the tv edit we almost certainly have no idea what actually happened on WaW
Chris from season 9 because of the way he epically bullshitted his way to the end is amazing
I feel like Chris could have said he got a throat infection and can’t speak. And he would have beaten Twila if he didn’t say a word during tribal
Yessir
I think he’d have been perfect in HvV on that Villain tribe. I think he’d have been really considered if he hadn’t pissed Jeff off 😂
Twila should have won but the jury was bitter.
@@freddytang2128 Wrong, he had one, if not the best performance at FTC ever.
While Yul is my second-favorite player ever (next to Ozzy), my favorite winner as a person has to be Ethan Zohn. Ethan is just such an amazing human being. He may not have played the best out of all winners, but he’s a great person. He gave away his luxury item to a group of Kenyan kids, created a soccer organization that helped I think either hundreds of thousands or millions of kids play soccer while raising awareness for HIV and AIDS, became an ambassador for an organization that helped create a cancer treatment, got diagnosed with cancer himself, and then got to use his organization’s treatment to save his own life. And even on top of all that, he’s truly just a nice guy. From watching him on the show, especially in WaW, you can tell he never wants to hurt anyone, even if it’s just gameplay. He’s just such a kind soul and he sees the joy in everything. Thinking about Ethan as a person literally moves me to tears. I don’t think the $1 million has ever gone to a person more deserving than him. Maybe not in terms of gameplay, but by quality of character. And not only that, but he used the money to change other people’s lives.
Great post, one of the few times I cried during Survivor was in WoW when Ethan kept going in the pacing the beach challenge even through leg pain and he got applause by everyone at the end. Made me break down.
💯 Ethan is my absolute favorite winner too, for all the reasons you said.
Natalie's revenge tour saving an entire season and being a BA in WaW also Michelle "I don't need to be carried bro"
FABIO was the first season my kids and I watched and were hooked. How could someone so unpretentious and unassuming win but we so wanted him to. Maryann was so stealthy, for all her theatrics, every syllable she uttered was measured and wise
Tyson is literally a GOAT 🫡, I loved his story arc, going from a cocky ass in Tocantins to a person who made a dumb move in HvV, and then becoming a ringleader and still having his great humour and a lot of heart in BvW. Definitely a top 10 fav winner in my books
He's number 4 for me right now.
Thanks for showing Fabio some love, I feel like he's rarely talked about super positively but one of my favorites of all time.
Adam will always be my favorite winner/player. S33 was the first season I ever watched live and it was months after losing my dad to lung cancer so I really connected with him, his win also was one of the most shocking to me as everyone thought Jay or David would win going into the finale. And I've messaged him a few times on reddit and he's been incredibly nice to me.
Todd from China. China got me into Survivor and his Machiavellian way of controlling every aspect of each vote was exceptional
My rankings from 10-6:
10. Kim Spradlin- a winner with options, played a stellar game and very likeable
9. Earl Cole- real king of Fiji, also wished he returned
8. Amber Brkich- my personal most underrated winner, the original Natalie White, winning over her now husband-the runner up, and had them take more of the punches from the jury
7. Richard Hatch- something about the first winner, with the cocky attitude that will win him the money
6. Boston Rob- the godfather who always thinks ahead, has an intimidating cult leader presence that is fascinating to watch
I personally have never liked Richard Hatch as a winner. I think it's because if I actually met him in real life I don't think I would actually like him. But who knows.
Amber is undoubtably one of the most underrated winners, mainly because she is rated so low.
She got 2 million for crying out loud. She got someone to fall in love with her.
Some of Tony’s moves in Winners, the most pressure packed season of all time, make him my favorite. The Sophie’blindside might be the best move in 40 seasons. Love his confessional prior to that tribal. “ I’m trying to convince Jeremy to save Jeremy”
Jerermy Collins is my favorite survivor winner! Not only is he a firefighter in my home state, he’s an amazing player and an amazing guy!!! When he first played i was 11 years old, and he was my favorite player from the jump, and little me was so happy to root for him from the jump on Second Chance! and he blew away my expectations!!!
Vecepia Towery (Season 4, “Survivor: Marquesas”) The First Winner to come from the minority tribe at merge. Will always be the most impressive win.
I love the queens- Pavarti, Amber, Maryann and Sandra 👸
Natalie in SJDS had some of the most innovate strategic gameplay of all time. She’s my favorite winner.
if Carolyn had beat Yam Yam she would be my number one🫡
Here are my 10-5 favorite winners
10 Earl - I really love Cerebral, mild mannered, intelligent players and Earl is one of them. I actually see a lot of similarity between him and season neighboring winner Yul. Both were just calm smart players who really dictated a lot of how their season went. Great winner.
9 Tony - Most of my appreciation for Tony comes with post-season information on how he played. Tony is the Kobe of Survivor, he just absolutely outworked literally everyone. Any shortcomings he might have had he overcame with sheer hustle. His 2nd win however really sold me on him. He won so differently than his previous season and really started that more cerebral playstyle rather than the "tear shit up and kiss and make up later" if Cagayan. He's a little to frenetic for my tastes, but I respect his game immensely and I think he's the greatest player in Survivor history.
8 Parvati - Much like Tony, Parvati's game isn't my favorite style, I prefer the more reserved tactical players, whereas she's a much more social intelligence style player, but I respect it too much to leave it off the list. She also is among the best "play with a target on her head" players of all time. Its a shame the old timers never had much of afoothold in Season 40 because if her reputation wasn't as massive as it was she could've done damage. She also was incredibly close to being our first 2 time winner.
7 Sandra - Sandra 1.0 and 2.0 are such amazing characters and players. She could simultaneously get into it and make for great TV while still getting her castmates to love her. She's also the foil to 2 of the best villains in survivor history while not just being a white meat babyface to borrow some wrestling terms. I also like Sandra 4.0 as well where she knew no one was about to let her get anything for free and she tried swinging for the fences. 3.0 "Queen stays Queen" Sandra, didnt love that version as much but like Tony she's been to successful to criticize too badly.
6 Sophie - More than anyone else in the shows history I think Sophie is most like myself. I think the most underrated part of her game is being a non-religious person in the absolutely mother of all cult like religion based alliances of all time (not that every religious person is cult like, but the way that season panned out the overtones were rough). I dont think I could've handled being allied with Coach and Brandon Hantz the way that Coach used religion as a sort of crusading force. But Sophie just laid low didnt rock the boat, then turned on the afterburners in the home stretch. I also was loving her game in WAW until Tony caught wind of how good she was and cut her legs out.
You said 10-5 and you went 10-6?
I LOVE the Sophie love.
I was and always will be a Michele stan. Love her and her social game, the way she keeps her cool and gets sassy jersey when need be.
I actually knew maryanne from university and the second that 3-2-2 vote against Omar came out, the community was freaking outtttt she so deserved to win 🎉
For what its worth, Chip Underwood completely redeems himself in The Challenge USA.
Yul, Earl, Natalie Anderson, Maryanne, Cochran, Denise, and (unpopular opinion) Natalie White for intentionally allying with Russel and owning her under the radar game.
it’s Natalie Anderson with Maryanne/Yul tied in second then Sandra. Nat’s game from all angles is strategic while being incredible entertaining! ( s/o to Bob he came in and talked to my 4th grade class about winning survivor and it’s been my favorite show since then)
1) Tina, 2) Yul, 3) Danni, 4) Ethan, 5) Tony, 6) Sandra, 7) Maryann, 8) Nick, 9) Jenna M. and 10) Yam Yam.
My Top 10 in no particular order,heads up a few International winners
-Tony Vlachos
-David Genat
-Mark Wales
-Chris D
-Sarah Lacina
-Dino Paulo
-Natalie Anderson
-Yul Kwon
-Hayley Leake
-Todd Herzog
My favorite winner is probably Jeremy Collins, mostly because Second Chance was the 1st season where I was paying close attention to the strategy
Kim, Natalie A, Tony both times, Sarah, Adam, Maryanne, Yul, Todd, Cochran.
Though if we include international versions, David (aka Golden God) from Australian Survivor would knock Sarah off my top 10.
I'm probably a rarity in that one of my favorite winners is Bob. Gabon was the first season I watched when I was quite young and he reminded me of my grandfather (helped that my grandfathers name is Bob) so I quickly connected with him and that has always stuck with me.
Mike is definitely my favorite because he literally had to just keep winning challenges to get the win.
I thought I was going to be the only one to say Mike. I don’t really appreciate some of his moves but he knew he was being targeted and the way he protected Shirin was straight up chivalrous!
I personally love that he won, because he stood up for Shirin when she was attacked on a personal level. I’m not even a fan of her, but there was no justification to Will’s behavior.
He’s probably in my top 10, I love his win
Which is why Chris' win back in Vanuatu was so much more impactful seeing how he literally waited for the women to self-destruct and didn't have to rely on immunity necklaces to get to the FTC, lol
I’m only three minutes in but Fabio at number nine? This list is giving flavour
10 Nick
9 Michelle
8 Gabler
7 Natalie Anderson
6 Lacina
5 Cagayan Tony
4 Yam Yam
3 Maryanne 🇨🇦
2 Tony Winners at War
1 Adam
man, earl didn’t have to go that hard on those dance moves, but he did and i respect it
For me it was always the king the llama whisperer himself
All great choices. Maryanne, Yam-Yam, and Yul are in my top 10 too.
No particular order:
Sophie - I don't really like the season, but I thought she handled the card she were dealt really well, and her final tribal council performance really sealed the deal. Also kinda just relate to her personality.
Sandra - HvV was the fourth season I watched as the show was airing (started at Gabon), and the ending was just sooo satisfying. I also just personally find Sandra hilarious.
Natalie Anderson - I found most of the cast quite boring and hard to root for, so I am just very thankful she won, and in a flashy way too!
Vecepia - The underdog story, also just a very satisfying ending - plus the social aspect with the notes was pretty cool.
Yam Yam - I was happy with either Yam Yam or Carolyn. Really strong social game, and him being queer, from Puerto Rico - I found his story really sweet.
6. Tyson Apostol (such a great character)
7. Vecepia Towery (extremely underrated)
8. Todd Herzog (one of the best FTC performances)
9. Danni Boatwright (another of my underrated faves)
10. Kim Spradlin (one of the most dominant winners)
I always LOVED Fabio, one of my favorite winners as well… he’s the first one I can remember rooting for from day one besides JT
My Top 10 (10-6):
10 Ethan - Was strong physically and socially though he never played the strongest. But he's just such a kind man, never wanting to hurt anyone in the game, created his soccer organization to raise money for those in need. Just someone I would want to see win a million dollars.
9 Kim - Her season bores me, but the one saving grace is her gameplay. No one has options like she had and she maneuvered around everyone with them all thinking she was on their side.
8 Sandra - She's Queen for a reason. Though I prefer gameplay that isn't sitting back so much, her sassy attitude and amazing social game made her deserving of both wins. Also screw Russel.
7 Cochran - This dude is so smart and so funny. He's the underdog I loved rooting for and seeing how he analyzed situations.
6 Nick - A pretty strong social and strategic player. He aligned himself with the right people and used his advantages at the right times. I had a feeling he was winning his season for a long time.
Yep love Fabio! So glad he made your top 10, I think he is so overlooked!
42 is my favorite season of the New Era, and I'm glad to see Maryanne listed. She was fun!
That being said, Nat A is the best, and I aspire to be half as much of a badass as she is.
42 was a great season. Full of threats ready to play!
Sophie might actually be my favourite winner. She’s not on a season I enjoyed, at all. But it’s how she plays. It’s the tactical brilliance but the snarky-pseudo-sarcastic interviews. She’s careful and patient. And seeing her back in winners at war? Just to watch her come back and then her vote off literally flooring me. I just really respect her. If I could play, I’d want a game similarly.
But I also love Natalie (both but mostly Anderson.) Yul is also a favourite of mine. And Denise. I just really enjoy the winners who are pulling strings in the background.
But also, I can’t make a comment without also shouting out Vesepia, Tina, and Maryanne
Love your videos, never stop! My favorite winner of all time is Tina Wesson. I didn’t get her strategy on the first watch, when I was 13, and was SO mad Colby didn’t win. Now I do get it, and Tina is the OG underdog mastermind 🎉🎉🎉
10. Richard: First winner, handled his alliance well
9. Denise: Great social game, survived every tribal council
8. Earl: A very likable winner, technically the first perfect win besides 1 throwaway vote sent his way.
7. Wendell: Apart of arguably the best alliance duo of the series. Problem is I'm not sure he and Dom had great competition.
6. Parvati: Apart of the strongest female alliance in Survivor. Maybe leader? I'm not sure. Amanda and Cerie could have won just as easily under slightly different circumstances.
5. Sandra (HvV): Great manipulation, and. Good FTC performance.
4. Natalie A.: Overall great strategy and awareness, and control who would sit next to her in final 3
3. Maryanne: Probably the most underrated winner of the entire series, imo. Had great awareness of the game, and planned ahead perfectly for her finishing game.
2. Yul: Great strategist, was great socially and physically (despite being up against Ozzy) and Used the immunity idol perfectly.
1. Todd: Great control through the whole season. Arguably the best FTC performance of the whole series.
Chris Daugherty better be in your top 5. I watch that season for motivation honestly because bro really did it against all odds
Yul, Earl, Parvati, Jeremy, Maryanne, Yam Yam.
My favorite is probably Gabler, because during the first episode I was like "this dude seems like a cool character, I'm gonna root for him" and the rest is history. Aligabler out.
Also it was so funny how mad the internet got that someone not a woman or black or something won and it ended up being Gabler I will never forget it.
Yul and Earl actually helped me renew my enthusiasm for Survivor winners. Cirie helped renew my enthusiasm for the game itself right before they played.
I was insanely impressed with Sarah in Game Changers for continuing to manage the middle which is what got her out in brains, beauty, brawn.
I’ve never really thought about it till now but my top 10 would probably be this
10. Marianne
9. Jeremy
8. Todd
7. Yam Yam
6. Earl
5. Ethan
4.Denise
3. Yul
2. Sandra
1. Tony
It should be stated that Marianne and Yam Yam could rise with time.
You did to Yul what they did to him in Winners at War. Booted him before the halfway point.... that's cold...
Haven't checked your list yet but here is mine
1-Tony
2-Tod
3-Sarah
4-JT
5-Jeremy
As of right now, my favorites are Rich for basically inventing how to win, Fabio for his chill personality and clutch immunity run, and Maryanne for her outgoing and contagious character, under the radar gameplay, and being my first day 1 favorite I watched win live.
Natalie White, Sophie Clarke and Parvati Shallow are probably my favorite winners honestly.
Sophie Clark - smart and was able to put up with the crazy of coach and Russell’s nephew .. plus I love it when women are the winners of the boys club season lol
Rankings:
10 YamYam - You know what you convinced me but I laughed at your choice at first but yeah he was one of the few guys who actually had a revenge arc pay off. He was always too stereotypical Miami for me though.
9 Richard Hatch - I am old so for me he showed me what reality TV could be and gave me hope that this could go beyond and become a real multifaceted chess match
8 Ethan Zohn - I am not a cancer survivor BUT he was the most I ever related to and wanted to be
7 Tom Westman - The most ferocious lion of Survivor, nobody is more noble in his victory than Tom he is the Anti-Hatch
6 Chris Daughtery - Proved that a man can overcome any odds with a strategy a plan and a strong hand
5 Yul Kwon - If he was flashier and more funny he would be #1 but he really has the most challenge hacks and the most smooth relating to people just skills of anyone
4 Boston Rob - The most deadly mean son of a b you will ever see in a reality show he will go to any level to dominate you
3 Tyson Apostol - The funniest deadly wittiest player, he will beat you with an idol in your pocket, make you laugh out the door
2 Tony Vlachos - The GOAT all the tricks all the talent
1 Natalie Anderson - My personal favorite, she has the interesting story of needing to avenge her family and was so fun to watch manipulate
1) Natalie (SJDS)
2) Todd (China)
3) Parvati (Micronesia)
4) JT (Tocantins)
5) Yul (Cook Islands)
6) Tyson (BvW)
7) Michele (Kaoh Rong)
8) Tony (Cagayan)
9) Ethan (Africa)
10) Yam Yam (44)
"James Bond Double O zero" makes me laugh every time 😂
I loved Maryanne so much she destroyed her final tribal in one of my favourite speeches
Mine is Fabio cause he is a unique winner
We never had the “target” ever won survivor they always come up short , so to see him actually winning was awesome!
Natalie Anderson, Adam, Parvati, Yul, Tyson, Yam Yam, Boston Rob
Mines Mike Holloway. Just such a likeable guy and I love it when he does the happy dance

My top 10, not necess in order: Parvati, Sandra, Denise, Maryanne, Earl, Tom, Yul, Sophie, Tyson, Yam Yam
Sandra. She just makes me laugh. She has some iconic lines
Fabio should’ve definitely been in Winners at War. We had a lot of gamers that season and with Fabio’s personality, he could’ve offered a new dynamic to the cast. I bet you he could’ve almost glided by to at least the Final 5-6 because nobody would take him seriously as a threat, lol
Throwing in my suggestion: Top 5 worst “greatest moves in survivor history”
Tony was my favourite winner before he did it again, truly the 👑
The funny thing is I hated his first win. He was constantly going against his alliance and they kept letting him get away with it. It felt like he didn’t win with great gameplay, he won because of everybody else’s stupidity. Everyone was wise to it his second season, so he didn’t last long. But Winners at War, holy crap. There was someone who learned from his previous seasons, knew how to manipulate perceptions of him (lay low to start, then slowly amp it up to full Tony without anyone realizing it), and as a result, played a damn near perfect game. WaW Tony is one of my favorite winners. Talk about a turnaround.
@@erakfishfishfishyou have to remember no one knew who he was in Cagayan so he could play up this persona of protecting his alliance and play however he wanted because he had no reputation. People didn’t know he was executing and pulling off these blindsides with strategic thoughts in mind. For example, with the LJ Vote, they truly believed that he was paranoid LJ was going to turn on him after he was saying they were going to vote out Woo. Him acting paranoid to
trick LJ was perfect because he could use that as an excuse to vote him out to protect his alliance without being looked at as a snake.
@@erakfishfishfishI completely get what you’re saying, but I loved his first win BECAUSE it was so chaotic 😂
Really rooted for Mike and Adam to win their seasons. Yul, Kim, Tony and Jeremy are probably my favourites.
1. Chris (9)
2. Tony (40)
3. Sarah (34)
4. Natalie (29)
5. Parvati (16)
Mine
1. Parvati Shallow
2. Sandra Diaz-Twine
3. Rob Mariano
4. Natalie Anderson
5. Kim Spradlin
6. Yul Kwon
7. Mike Holloway
8. Todd Herzog
9. Michele Fitzgerald
10. Maryanne Oketch
Please remember that this is Peridiams personal top ten favorite winners. You may not agree with some of the rankings, and that’s okay
I love when Earl gets love in this community! I definitely consider him playing a perfect game
Natalie Anderson, I found her extremely entertaining and intelligent.
In my personal opinion, these are my top 10 winners / winning games:
1. Parvati Shallow
2. Todd Herzog
3. Tony Vlachos (s40)
4. JT Thomas
5. Jeremy Collins
6. Kim Spradlin
8. Chris Daugherty
9. Sarah Lacina
10. Tony Vlachos (s28)
Has Yul won two of the big 4 reality tv shows. No I don't think so Chris Underwood GOAT status
6. Maryanne Oketch (42)
7. Denise Stapley (Philippines)
8. Natalie Anderson (San Juan Del Sur)
9. Parvati Shallow (Micronesia)
10. Mike Holloway (Worlds Apart)
Bob. I don’t know how, but Bob Crowley was the first survivor player I remember seeing. I don’t know how. Like, I think I saw it playing in a Walmart or something, but he was always awesome and everyone was voting for him.
Chip joke lands like its the first time, everytime. 10/10
If not done already, can you do top 10 favourtie runner ups or maybe include top 4 players.
The ones that come to mind are Tony, Natalie Anderson, Parvati, and Sandra.
Yul, Earl and Todd.. best streak of winners ever!
Tony and Nick are probably two of my favorites. Tony is always the most interesting player on screen who is so charismatic to me, and Nick was a winner I predicted on the first episode, watched an amazing season reinvigorate my love of survivor, and then watched win. I also have honorable mention to Gabler who donated ALL of his winnings. He did not play my favorite game of survivor to watch, but I have endless respect for him for that decision.
Wow. Ur list is really really good🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿👏🏿
I feel like you have a little boy crush on Fabio and I won't judge you, same
Tony tony tony has done it again.
WOOHOO! Maryanne is my #1 Favorite Winner!!!!

3) Adam Klein (S33)
4) Sandra Diaz Twine (S7 and S20)
5) Parvati Shallow (S16)
6) Boston Rob Mariano (S22)
7) John Cochran (S26)
8) Kim Spradlin (S24)
9) Denise Stapley (S25)
10) Yam yam (s44) and Erika (S41)

My fav is cirie who is not technically a survivor winner, but she is both a survivor and a winner so… close enough
Peridiam, will you cover Survivor UK?
Boston Rob is probably my favorite. I also love Cochran.
Never thought about this so here’s a random raw list from the subway.
10. Nick
9. Gabler
8. Rob
7. Michelle
6. Fabio
5. Yul
4. Tom
3. Sandra
2. Tyson
1. Tony
1. Mike Holloway

3. Tony Vlachos x2
4. Parvati Shallow
5. Kim Spradlin
6. Boston Rob
I like Rich, Sandra, Tom, Earl, Todd, Rob, Tyson, Tony, Natalie, and Tony again.
I respect your opinion, I don't think Mary Ann and Yam Yam were any great, sure they may be nice people to hang out with, but I did not enjoy them as survivor players.
Mine probably ( in random order )
Fabio, Bob, Earl, Yul, Sandra, Nick, Mike, Tony ( 40 ), Chris, Sophie. Could change if my favourite from 45 won
Tony, Denise, Jeremy, Tyson, Parv, and Rob
Peridiam I am never able to watch Survivor live on Wednesdays so I just wanna say thanks for scratching that Survivor itch for me on Wednesday
