I am a List Writer for ScreenRant, and love being a part of a film community where we all share the same passions. Boston Rob is one of our all-time favorite players, and clearly, there's something to do that if he's been asked to be a mentor this season. He was a target pretty early on, but no one could get rid of him. 2. Still, Spencer deserves credit for advancing as far as he did against two of the strongest casts in the history of Survivor. There is an argument to be made for her to be higher up on this list. The most divisive Survivor player of all time checks in at No. Being a mother voter has always been Ciera's claim to fame.

Mike covered up some social blunders by dominating the physical part of the game and making some wise strategic moves late in the game. Runners-up Carolyn Rivera and Chrissy Hofbeck each came close to garnering enough votes in the end, despite being in a demographic that often struggles to win. Although season 40 showed that Nick may not be top-tier, he made enough big moves in David vs. Goliath to warrant a spot in the Top 40. Game Changers aside, Tony has proven to the audience that there is a method to his madness. A wasted advantage in the final four immunity challenge of Philippines and a controversial twist in Game Changers prevented Malcolm from being higher on this list. That doesn't happen by accident. Now we've come full circle to the point where it seems crazy to stick with an alliance for the entire 39 days. He fit the pirate theme in Pearl Islands to a tee and the first moment we saw him shine was when he pirated the opposing tribe’s shoes while both teams were trying to bargain for supplies. tony saw there were 2 other winners and decided to screw around, parvati played 1 of the most forgettable games of all time and 2 of the most overrated games of all time. The best player to have never won came up short in a fire-making tie breaker, done in by a needlessly super-powered Immunity Idol (see also Cook Islands). Sandra should hardly be docked for back-to-back pre-merge boots. In fact, it was a wonder she made it that far in either of those seasons in the first place. David has one of the greatest single-season arcs of all time, from fish out of water in the premiere of Millennials vs. Gen X to the guy many thought would win the season. Crystal Cox ( Gabon) – 3 Votes. J.T. It is almost impossible to craft a list of the 40 greatest Survivors, considering all the different qualities it takes to succeed. Jeremy's biggest bugaboo has been diminishing his own threat level once he reaches the merge. No. Chris Underwood was incredible down the stretch of that season as well, but the sample size for him is simply too small. Some people are just made to play Survivor, and Earl proved to be one of them. Terry was known for using a hidden immunity idol to keep himself in the game, right before he went on to win five consecutive individual immunity challenges in Survivor: Panama (that's a record, by the way). He also played in Survivor: Cambodia. In total, he's won six individual immunity wins (three in each season) and lasted 76 days (which is pretty much the maximum for two seasons!). Tom ties for the record of most immunity challenge wins in a single season, at five, and even went on to win one more before he was voted out in his second season.

It's hard for Adam to harness his super duper fan-ness, which can paint a target on his back, but he understands how to play the game like few others do. Natalie has the highest average placement of any Survivor who has played more than once. Go to the end with someone you can beat. So much of Survivor is circumstantial; while there are certain skills necessary to excel - social acuity, a strategic mind, the ability to make fire - the factor of luck cannot be overlooked as a vital part of the equation. AMBER BRKICH – ALL STARS . Whoever is in charge of casting for Survivor has done a great job of picking some real oddballs over the years. She has outlasted Sandra multiple times, out-manipulated Cirie and outplayed nearly everyone. Mike also ties the record for most individual immunity wins in a single season, at five! There are several honorable mentions, players who deserve a celebratory nod but fall just shy of a Top 40 that feels exclusive considering the vast amount of contestants who have donned a buff since the turn of the millennium. He was playing chess while others were playing duck duck goose. But that qualifier covers up some of the impact she made on Blood vs. Water, a season designed for a returnee to win, and the game as a whole. This man's strategic skills, challenge awesomeness, and likability put a target on his back, but he held on to be named the winner. This lovable player definitely proved himself, and it's a shame he had to leave so early on his second try. A one-stop shop for all things video games. Parvati Shallow. At her best, there is almost no one better than Parvati. I think you can generally classify players in broad categories such as very good, good, average, below average, poor and horrible, but anything more precise than that is impossible, and just reflects your own personal preferences. Even though Parvati won Micronesia, the most visible showcase of her talents lies in Heroes vs. Villains. Wendell proved that a cutthroat game doesn't always win, and his willingness to ride to the end with Domenick was a risk that proved to be worth it. Our 3rd last results reveal brings you the 25 greatest Survivor players that have never won the game, as voted by you, the Survivor’s and the Survivor Oz team! He was runner-up in his first season, and made it all the day to day 37 in his last, where he was a hero on Heroes vs. Villains. Colby is definitely a force to be reckoned with, and it would be a crime not to name him as one of the top 10 males. He made it to the end because he won challenges, and won the game because he was, well, the best player. His formation of an alliance in Borneo sounded radical then. Watch every season of Survivor on CBS All Access. His ability to control others, as he did at original Sele despite being in a minority alliance, is unparalleled. Ozzy blew us all away with his provider skills, beast ability in challenges, and social relationships. He is from Atlanta and currently resides in New York City. The go-to source for comic book and superhero movie fans. And finally, David vs. Goliath provided us with Christian Hubicki, whose inability to hide his threat level was his own undoing, and Mike White, who may have been held in much higher regard if he'd concocted a more convincing final tribal speech. The only person to play two or more times and never be voted out, quit or medevaced, there's a reason Michele hasn't yet had her torch snuffed. Sandra Diaz-Twine. The game sometimes comes down to luck. Conversely, nine current Carlton senior players – in alphabetical order Andrew Carrazzo, Bryce Gibbs, Chris Judd, Matthew Kreuzer, Marc Murphy, Heath Scotland, Kade Simpson, Jarrad Waite and Andrew Walker – make the 150. 90 Day Fiancé: Rebecca's Zied Flaunts New Look & Gives Away Spoiler, Survivor: The Top 40 Players of All Time, Ranked.
