Survivor - Ranking the winners
It's been a long time since I've done this. And there have been a few memorable performances and some not so memorable ones. Without further ado, here's the list.
1. Rob (Season 22)
Yes, I've put Rob's season at number one. It was a pitch perfect performance, which should have been a 9-0 vote. That it wasn't is not a reflection on Rob; it's just one of those variances that the game gives us. (Scary thought - Rob probably didn't need immunity go make final tribal.)
2. Brian (Season 5)
The best winner pre-Rob, I've knocked him down one perch because he was facing Clay, who was pretty unlikable in his own way. And yet, Clay managed to get two votes.
3. JT (Season 18)
Needed Stephen Fishbach to do a bit of the heavy lifting for strategy, but there is no questioning JT's dominance in challenges and the social game.
4. Richard (Survivor 1)
The originator of the strategy that carries the game even today.
5. Tom (Season 10)
Dropped from the number one spot when I reconsidered his final three performance. If Ian doesn't have a bout of conscious and a desire to buy back his integrity, Tom could very well lose. Given this, it's tough to give Tom credit for the best game ever. Even if he made of the greatest moves by threatening to tie the vote to essentially blackmail Katie into voting with him to get rid of Greg.
6. Yul (Survivor 13)
Even with the most powerful immunity idol ever, Yul played an incredible game.
7. Parvarti (Survivor 16)
Biggest jump from last time, after reconsidering how much was her and how much was Amanda that season.
8. Todd (Survivor 15)
Not a reflection on Todd, who played a very strong game.
9. Tina (Survivor 2)
Did what nobody else could do that season - take out Colby.
The rest.
10. Aras (Season 12)
11. Bob (Season 17)
12. Chris (Season 9)
13. Jenna (Season 6)
14. Ethan (Season 3)
15. Earl (Season 14)
16. Fabio (Season 21)
17. Sandra (Season 7)
18. Amber (Season 8)
19. Natalie (Season 19)
20. Danni (Season 11)
21. Sandra (Season 20)
Not last because she did give the jury what they wanted to hear.
22. Vescepia (Season 4)
Winning because your opponent won't admit she did something that she doesn't feel she did is not exactly the best credentials.

Pretty good list. My top 5 would probably be: 1. Richard 2. JT 3. Tom 4. Brian 5. Boston Rob.
If Boston Rob had won All Stars instead of Redemption Island he would be at least #2 if not #1.
That's fair as well. I think you can make an argument for any arrangement of those as the top 5. I do think that Tom should be ranked lower because Ian gave him the walk into the final tribal, but he did have a fantastic performance.
And I agree with you on Boston Rob and All Stars.
