Tonight sees the premiere of the second full All-Star season of Survivor where they are splitting the best into Heroes vs. Villains. Over the twenty seasons of Survivor, there have been 303 different contestants that have tried to Outwit, Outplay, and Outlast each other. So in honor of the anniversary I rounded up a few of my buddies, Dan from TiFaux, Kim from TV Screener, Vance from Tapeworthy, and my resident Survivor fanatic Doug to figure out who is the Greatest Survivor Contestant of All Time. Well, at least who fills the slots two to twenty-five because of course it was the original winner Richard Hatch who was the unanimous number one. So here are the other twenty-four we came up with (note: the “w” denotes the winner that season):
1. Richard Hatch – Borneo (w) / All-Stars2. Russell Hantz – Samoa / Heroes vs. Villains
3. Rob Mariano - Marquesas / All-Stars / Heroes vs. Villains
4. Rob Cesterniro - The Amazon / All-Stars
5. Tom Westman – Palau (w) / Heroes vs. Villains
6. Todd Herzog – China (w)
7. Yau-Man Chan - Fiji / Micronesia
8. Amanda Kimmel - China / Micronesia / Heroes vs. Villains
9. Yul Kwon - Cook Islands (w)
10. Stephen Fishbach - Tocantins
11. Rudy Boesch - Borneo / All-Stars
12. Jenna Morasca - The Amazon (w) / All-Stars
13. Sandra Diaz-Twine - Pearl Islands (w) / Heroes vs. Villains
14. Stephanie LaGrossa - Palau / Guatemala / Heroes vs. Villains
15. Chris Daugherty – Vanuatu (w)
16. Tom Buchanan - Africa / All-Stars
17. Lex van de Berghe - Africa / All-Stars
18. Rupert Boneham - Pearl Islands / All-Stars / Heroes vs. Villains
19. Colby Donaldson - Australian Outback / All-Stars / Heroes vs. Villains
20. Parvati Shallow - Cook Islands / Micronesia (w) / Heroes vs. Villains
21. Cirie Fields - Exile Island / Heroes vs. Villains
22. Kathy Vavrick-O'Brian - Marquesas / All-Stars
23. Ethan Zohn – Africa (w) / All-Stars
24. Bob Crowley – Gabon (w)
25. Ken Huang - Gabon

Dang right putting Russ above Rob! WOOT! Go Russell!!!
ReplyDeleteParvati should be up WAY higher
ReplyDeleteBrandon????? Didn't he get voted out like 12th
ReplyDeleteI found Brandon highly entertaining like the time he almost set himself on fire during the flaming arrow challenge, really one of the great moments in Survivor history.
ReplyDeleteBoston Rob's way better than Russell.... Russell's wicked cocky and he has no class. I mean Rob knows how to play this game with CLASS if there was a "right" way to play Survivor, I'd pick Boston Rob
ReplyDeleteTHE AMAZING PART OF ALL THIS IS, THAT RICHARD HAD ALREADY FIGURED OUT HOW TO PLAY THE GAME BEFORE ANYONE ELSE EVEN GOT ON THE BOAT TO GO TO THE ISLAND.. LIKE ALL 1ST'S HE WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE ONE THAT DEFINED HOW THE GAME IS TO BE PLAYED AFTERALL HE SAID IN THE 1ST EPISODE THAT THE CHECK ALREADY HAS HIS NAME WRITTEN ON IT.
