Becoming King: The Story of Tony Vlachos - Survivor: Winners At War

[@starseedwarrior9240]

Thanks! Appreciate the excellent breakdown.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

Thanks! I do these for lots of other players too :) check them out.

[@ShadeXH]

I still can't believe that Tony Vlachos of all people was not only allowed to make the merge on an all-winners season, but made it to the end with no votes, and won. Just insane.

[@jonaskinsey4071]

I remember being so shocked he made the merge alone

[@biggboi3932]

You have to think about who he is up against. Had it been a new cast he’d been target #1. But a game against all winners.. everyone is a target and everyone believes they’re the best.

[@SaudAlThani]

I have mad respect for Denise but I think she made a big mistake when she used Sandra's idol to vote Sandra out. If you understand Sandra's gameplay you know that if Denise used the idol as an opportunity to get Tony out, the game would have shaped very differently. She had an opportunity there to really take the reins and become a power player not just for one tribal but for many more to come. The Sandra vote was a big gotcha blindside but it did nothing to serve Denise long-term. In fact, it arguably put a bigger target on her back once they hit the merge (she admitted this was the case in her podcast with Rob C). Not an ideal place to be that early in the game. She could have taken Tony out pre-merge and used Sandra as a shield to get further in the game, while still helping dictate who goes home. I do think though that ultimately it was Sandra's fault she got voted off that early because as Boston Rob told her in the Edge, she gave up her power to Denise that tribal, which is something you don't do on Survivor.

[@jonaskinsey4071]

@@SaudAlThani I'm so glad someone has the same opinion as me on this! I was trying to explain this to my friend when the episode first aired, because if you think about it Denise made a terrible decision. In survivor, a game that no one can win without building trust with others, why in the world would she betray and blindside someone who is willing to work with her! The worst part is that it wasn't even a potential alliance she doesn't benefit from, because Sandra literally gave Denise an idol to save herself with. Idk about other people, but if someone were to give me an idol in survivor, I'd be 100% loyal to that person because they clearly have my back and want me to stay in the game. Now, what's worse, to make this move she literally wasted the idol she already had, meaning that she would lose the potential protection going forward into the merge. (And if you think about it, had she kept her idol, it would of had a major impact in the Tyson boot, Jeremy boot, even her own boot, just saying.) Now here's the other problem, Tony VOTED for her! Tony clearly wants her out of the game, so why in the world would she go after someone who wants to work with her, instead of this crazy guy who's hiding in the woods, isn't talking to anyone for hours, and is clearly gunning for her? The move definitely put a bigger target on her back too, Tony even said it in the next episode, and during the merge feast, Sophie related Denise talking about this move to an old war hero retelling their combat stories or something like that. Now, she enters the merge with Tony and ends up on the losing side of like 5 votes, of which Tony dictates, and is eventually voted out because of him. I agree that some of the fault goes on Sandra, but overall, this move was GREAT TV, but a very poorly thought out game move in the long run.

[@SaudAlThani]

@@jonaskinsey4071 💯 yeah. It wasn't Sandra's best moment but I still think Sandra is an awesome player who doesn't need to prove anything. She tried something and it didn't work out the way she would have hoped. I totally agree about your point re Tony. I also didn't get a good impression that Denise felt particularly close to Tony either (though I do admit we are only seeing what the editors want us to see). So why she would choose to work with someone who clearly wanted her out versus someone who is willing to work with her (and has a better track record of doing so) is beyond my understanding 🤣

[@zachnolan3378]

So the amazing thing is about Tony’s story is how much you don’t get to see. Normally stuff is left out because it’s irrelevant to the story but if you listen to both of Tony’s interviews on RHAP you’ll learn that he made so many moves without us seeing it because the editors didn’t want to make it so obvious that Tony was the winner. He spied on Nick and Kim, he changed the way he dressed to look more weak (wearing his buff like red riding hood), he always keep his arms down not folded in a defensive manner, he always stood lower on the beach so players looked down on him, he would lose games on purpose to pretend to be inept, he gave Jeremy his idol for one tribal so he’d vote with them to snipe Kim, he found fire tokens in nicks shoe so he knew he played in on Ben. Just so many amazing things and recommend watching the RHAP episode deep dive

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

I listened to that! Tony played an amazing game and we are at the point where we need hour and a half long episodes aka an extra 20 minutes without commercials, to truly understand what is going on.

[@zachnolan3378]

Once Upon An Island agreed! I feel like an extra half hour would add more voting context, but also give the audience more room to see fake winner edits which would continue to make the season down the line more compelling. Like so many characters we see we are told are dangerous but don’t see them really being threats to win (Carter in Philippines, Allison in DvG, Andrea in RI etc) like it should be seen why people have chances to win not told

he threw game changers. he said on few occasions when he saw cast with only 3 winners he knew he had no chance so he lost motivation

Tony should be the undisputed G O A T. 2 wins, and he won with immunity challenge wins, strategy, socially, and he outworked everyone as well. He's a different breed. Sandra, is clearly 3 in my opinion, and Kim Spradlin-Wolfe, Boston Rob, Jeremy and maybe a few others go on the list of the second tier below Tony, Parv and Sandra.

Tony is now officially the best player in history, you can’t even argue with me

[@Im_Hugh_Jass]

Rose Ella-Grace dis ‘murica tho.

[@rosiellagrace]

@@scooterit I figured, which is why I couldn't really argue with ya.. start with the 2016 season, it's technically the third season but the first two seasons are from early 2000's days and most don't count them as canon since they were on a different network and all; hell, even All-Stars labels players from 2016 as bein' from season one but just be aware if ya go to find them online how they might be labeled wonky. They're a bit longer; lasts 50-55 days, 24 players but David first appears in Champions vs Contenders 2 [the 2019 season] then played All-Stars, which immediately followed his premier season and it aired around when WaW did. While we're all quarantined and all, definitely recommend checking it out.. the editing was phenomenal and kinda went downhill the last few seasons but I've been rewatching 'Australian Survivor' the last few months myself and it's worth the time / watch! Oh, there's even a guy I fuckin' loved watching in the 2017 season who implements a spy shack, hahha, he's said in interviews he got the idea from Tony.

when I was younger I would have my parents call me down to watch the challenges and then go back upstairs cause that is all I cared about. It is nice to catch up on everything I missed

[@Jedi391]

Tony doesn’t go crazy.....he’s just a really hard worker who makes things happen.....like winning more money from survivor than anyone else ever.

[@mathewbarnes4468]

Tony getting to the end without a vote and how crazy he was just shows he is the goat of survivor.

[@bobberboo4795]

Great video man!👍

[@missedflowers]

Tony is one of the best to ever play Survivor, no doubt about it

[@reneerobson602]

the last moment between him and sarah omg🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@Mass49]

I haven’t ever watched an episode of Survivor but for some reason these videos interest me lol. Well done!

[@Shutterbun4]

Tony's metaphor about "Lions vs. hyenas" is SOOOO spot on. Hyenas could very well be the kings (they have stronger jaws than lions, and are equally good hunters) but they lack the speed and tactics of lions.

[@LukiePookiePatootie]

the unquestionable GOAT of survivor: Tony

[@NoHomers23]

Game Changers was the best thing that could have happened to Tony coming into WaW. I think if he doesn't play that season, his threat level is way too high for him to get past the pre-merge. Even with that, I thought that once Rob and Amber were voted one/two, that Tony would have been 3rd out before the season began. Tony is not only a top 5 player of all time but is also in the top 5 for most entertaining players of all time, an incredible combination.

[@nathanrice830]

Top 10? Maybe.

[@frankschaefer8890]

Tony on the outside is a crazy, sporadic, loose cannon. His mind and wits are what saved him. "To underestimate an opponent is to lose the battle before it starts."

[@jonathan536]

I feel like the way WAW was edited, Michele was the hero, and cops r us were the villains, but I never rooted against him. I was rooting for tony and Michele all season

[@jahlijah]

same. michelle’s moves kind of bothered me at times

[@tmm4195]

@A Nigerian ninja Really? Watching her season again made me realize how much she truly deserved her win. Michelle was a very good and well-rounded player.

[@Tuturial464]

Cops r us were the real heroes

Massive Shout-Out To WOO From Making This Even Existed.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

What do you think about Tony Vlachos Survivor story as a whole and in Winners at War?

[@sonicplushycentral6818]

Most of his moves were insane. He was entertaining as heck, extremely likeable, and his story was extremely fun to watch. I don’t think anyone in Survivor has ever deserved 2 million dollars than Tony after becoming the king.

[@philipthomas8928]

As a whole the guy is the greatest of all time.... In WaW he played a top 5 game for sure considering the calliber of the cast

[@Murmurrr]

Tony makes me laugh so much, easily the best player ever

[@theHSelf]

Love it

[@regularperson7380]

This guy was The Best Player of all time

[@vitorsalvattore]

The greatest player of all times and no one can say nothing against that fact. The King of Survivor🤴

[@Xaverious23]

well done. thank you!

[@christophermaybury4918]

This was a great video. I loved WaW, and thought Tony’s victory was more than well deserved. 😃

[@colleenkyle7741]

Tony was the main character, and no not because he won.

[@alexandrafarmer2920]

Tbh I loved Tony’s gameplay. I couldn’t turn away and tbh his season is the reason I really got into survivor

[@nevadaadie8881]

Ben and Tony are iconic 🥺

[@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849]

12:18 I wonder if she doesn't trust Tyson after Heroes vs Vilaian since he voting himselff out.

[@tacostastegreat5557]

Me and my family were so surprised Tony wasn't getting voted off, how did they trust him! I don't like that he won but I respect he is one of the best players ever

[@Tuturial464]

He came as a genuine human but also being the best survivor player ever

[@rachelconsoli8428]

The absolute GOAT as of this season ❤️ IMO

[@behindthespotlight7983]

Once Upon an Island and Survivor Specialists. Like a big fat steak on the grill and a berry pie cooling on the rack 😋

this video was really well made good job my guy!
