Top 20 Best Losing Final Tribal Council Performances in Survivor

[@chaz81196]

Rupert's exchange with Parvati at HvV's Final Tribal Council is super underrated. Rupert gets a lot of flack for his self-righteousness, but he was very respectful to Parvati, and her uphill struggle to make it to the end. Man has a lot of heart.

[@JRJuggernaut1]

Rupert to me at least never came off as having a big ego, so I don’t have a problem with his self-righteousness. Plus as disappointing as it was to see his early exit on blood vs water, his exit was pretty iconic imo! But I also agree his speech at HvV was great, he was willing to give Parvati respect for her gameplay even though we all knew he was clearly voting for Sandra! Parvati’s frustration was understandable but Rupert handled that pretty respectfully at the end of the day!

[@olivermensinger6022]

Michele Fitzgerald in 40 did a great job handling the jury, despite not getting a single vote.

[@funkycrawler619]

The fact at least 4 jurors said they would've voted her but voted Tony so Natalie loses just shows she had the juries respect but it just came down to who she was against at the end.

[@handsoaphandsoap]

I think she was unfortunately never gonna receive votes, the jury had pretty much decided it’d be Tony or Natalie but she really sold her story

[@mrjollyguy25]

@handsoap No the jury really respected Michele and many wanted her to get 2nd over Natalie, but it was too risky to split the vote between Tony and Michele so everyone in that camp just voted for Tony to ensure he won

[@bigbuffguy9589]

Romeo's final tribal performance was such a breath of fresh air after years of delusional people drawing dead at Final Tribal pretending their game was some master achievement. Romeo was honest and said "yeah my game was subpar but I had to fight from the bottom since the merge. I scrapped my way here." If Maryanne didn't kill that performance I can see him getting a few votes

[@freddytang2128]

True, but I felt Owen was even more self aware and confident in owing up to his imperfect game. Romeo felt a little defensive and insecure, maybe just his voice or tone.

[@uglyaniimals]

@@freddytang2128 that's interesting because i got the opposite vibe from them. owen seemed much more down on himself and like he'd given up -- if he made the pitch of being the ultimate underdog who was on the bottom the entire game but managed to claw his way to the finals through strategy, social bonds, and clutch immunities, then i think he would've had a rly solid chance of getting votes

[@freddytang2128]

@@uglyaniimals maybe part of it is body language and general confidence. I also feel like Owen was more prepared and had good answers ready, like his answer to James. Romeo’s answers felt weak. Someone asked what’s his biggest move and he gave a vague response on like playing from the bottom

[@sibernout7717]

Literally Romeo from 42, dude went into final tribal council with nobody wanting to vote him to win to actuallly getting some respect from the jury. Too bad Maryanne also decimated that final tribal concil and racked up all the votes leaving Romeo with none.

[@dc98424]

I think by the end of the season, Romeo was never winning in his position. There were too many early missteps and his competitors put up a very strong performance in both the season and final tribal. That said, I was incredibly impressed with his final tribal performance, and I’m glad that he finished the season so strong.

Watching this just made my heart hurt for Gavin - truly how did the Survivor producers think this would be fair to anyone who made it to the finale with a returnee?? Chris didn’t vote out any of those people and then got to sit and be besties with them for most of the season, plus got a free idol. Gavin did everything he could to play a great game and the producers are the ones who completely derailed him in the last 5 days.

[@bigbuffguy9589]

Gavin's top ally (Victoria) didn't even vote for him. His problem was that he had exactly zero moves that he could point to. Julia summed it up best when she said that Chris accomplished more after getting back in than Gavin did in 39 days.

[@littlegreencap28]

@@bigbuffguy9589 I totally see where you’re coming from, but I have to consider that Victoria was out for a couple days before the finale with all of these people who were probably in her ear about how good a game Chris was playing.

your argument falls apart a bit when you realize that Lil and Natalie got voted out and both didn't stand a chance to win against the one(s) they were sitting next to, Gavin wasn't perceived as doing much so he already wasn't gonna win against the person who was super flashy at the time where he needed to most (not defending Chris entirely because it was flawed)

[@TaQa04]

Seeing Gavin do so well at Final Tribal makes you wonder how much the editors hid of him in the day-to-day so that him losing would be acceptable

[@lloydm95]

Yessir. I feel like him and Victoria put in a lot of work that season but got shafted by the edit because Chris wins

[@matbolabc]

@@lloydm95 Agreed. I'd argue it's even evidenced by the fact that the strongest players of the season (Lauren, Wentworth, Aurora, Devins) voted for Gavin to win... Meanwhile, Chris received several jury votes from pre-mergers that had literally NEVER met Gavin in the game. I know all of that is subjective, but it just doesn't seem fair. Chris was allowed to spend 30 days on extinction, not playing the game & bonding with the entire jury all but guaranteeing he gets the win if he ends up in the final 3... He also re-entered the game with a free idol at the top 6. 🤦‍♂ Oof.

[@TaQa04]

@@matbolabc Listen, you have to understand, punting an entire season was worth having EoE on S40 to grab more airtime for past-prime survivors and family visits for a few episodes of storylines!

[@matbolabc]

@@TaQa04 That's actually a really great point. S40 wouldn't have been as good without the EoE, and I really enjoyed how the eliminated players were still able to influence the game. In S40 there were higher stakes while on the Edge, while on S38 there weren't really any that I can recall. They basically just hung out on the island all season awaiting the comeback challenge lol. Of course, I am a bit biased considering I know Gavin and am from the same town. He's quite a nice guy and it sucks to see him be the one to get screwed over by a twist.

[@tokyotourist]

I honestly would’ve put Courtney higher because her performance is great. She was winning that season until Todd started answering questions

[@musicguy713]

I’m really glad you included Lisa Welchel. She absolutely deserved to at least come in 2nd place. Being grouped with Mike Skupin really was unfortunate.

[@lilyhero1033]

Romeo’s FTC performance made me tear up when I watched it live. Such a good performance from a losing finalist. Would definitely be in my personal top 20 as well.

[@waverlytracey7076]

For me, I would probably rank Parvati's higher. Given her odds, she was 2 votes away from winning which is wild. I see a lot of people on Reddit that are hard on her and make her game out to be much more of a social disaster than it was. A couple people didn't vote for her because of their preexisting relationship, and there were a couple of votes she probably could have done more to snatch (JT, Colby) but the jury was much more complimentary of her than people remember. Rupert and Courtney were very nice to her and likely would have voted for her, they just had a stronger preexisting relationship with Sandra. Of course the winner deserves to win but I think there's a lot of Parvati slander that misrepresents the past

[@kingofthorns203]

Gavin’s hairlessness after 39 days is also criminally underrated. I’d look like Gandalf.

[@ezequielgomez627]

Monica Culpepper deserves top 10, she was very attacked at a personal level where everyone was doubting about who she was and then she broke down saying she was just a neat lady and admitting she was Brad's shadow and an uninteresting person. That was so raw and real and you had to feel sorry for her :(

[@angelat1839]

I remember this so clearly. She was an incredible player and no one wanted to give her any credit. I truly felt for her in this moment. I am sure she is a really wonderful person and she proved to be a fighter in Survivor.

Love that you included Dawn, since Brenda went completely unnecessary mean girl and gets all the props for that tribal outside of Cochran's stellar performance.. Dawn did play a cutthroat game, and I have always hated a woman like her never gets the credit she deserved. 🌹🌹

That moment with Brenda is one of my least favorite moments in all of Survivor.

[@Minecraftlover73]

Yeah agreed, if eddie won f4 immunity and Cochran was the fallen angel, I'm convinced dawn wins or becomes the "losing finalist that should have won" cause lets be honest we all know how the edit would turn out then.

[@rosiellagrace]

@@gray_7 same, and I've definitely gone back and forth on the comments about it with people.. I'm only 34 and have a full set of dentures already, and seein' Brenda intentionally tryin' to humiliate Dawn for playin' the game was just too much. It really showed Brenda's true mean girl self and she's a shitty person for lettin' Dawn then have to face a backlash of fans attackin' her for, what, votin' out a big threat in a game for boo-koos amount of money? It was ridiculous and ruins any kinda rewatch of that season, for me at least, because the way Brenda treated Dawn was all beyond the game. Nobody should try to humiliate another for shits and giggles, it's cruel and was completely unnecessary.

[@cdonovan4471]

I don't think Brenda was being mean girl at all. Like was she too harsh? Yes, but if someone verbatim told you that you were the only reason you stayed in the game and then blindsided you, would you not be pissed? I do think it's fucked up that Brenda made Dawn do that if she already knew she wasn't voting for her, but I saw her 'attack' at Dawn more as a test to Dawn's character. Bc Dawn said she was just manipulating Brenda and wouldnt've actually quit if she couldn't find her teeth. And Brenda wanted her to prove it. So while it was probably too far, I don't think Brenda is completely in the wrong. I mean she was kind of a big threat to win before she was blindsided, and I think she was deservedly bitter and pissed that she was voted off by one of her closest friends not long after she told her that she was the only reason they were still there.

[@rosiellagrace]

@@cdonovan4471 I don't really disagree, but that's exactly what showed her true character, imo, and she just went into mean girl mode to humiliate Dawn for her own 'payback' for a game move.. while the game can be harsh, intentionally humiliating a woman for your own kicks will never sit right with me. It was so unnecessary and tryin' to humiliate anyone, let alone on television for thousands to see and create the hate mob Dawn did not deserve, really brought my opinion of Brenda down to rock bottom.

[@IRAistheone]

I would personally rank Dean Kowalski on the upper half actually, around 10-7. I'm watching the finale thinking Tommy can sweep it 10-0-0. I mean, Tommy was really an obvious winner from the first ep but Dean truly had an impressive run in the last 2 episodes, painting doubts on Tommy's chances. I actually thought Missy, Jamal, and Karishma will vote for DK Chillin' based on their reactions to his responses. I would also put Dom in the Top 5. For me, he's the best one-time player to never win. Romeo is also very impressive in his finale performance, esp. the way he connects to the Jury with every answer. Excited about the second half of the list. Chase Rice should be at least in the Top 3, with Mike White and Michele (WaW)

[@kaialexander6806]

I genuinely feel so bad for Gavin because there's really no good argument for him to make. When he delegitimatises Chris' game, he's also delegitimatising the jury's experience. If neither Chris or Devens wins, then for most of the jury, all the time that they spent on The Edge was pointless. If Chris wins, it was worth it. I'm honestly not sure what the winning argument is for him, if there is one.

[@jdot666x420]

Just watched Africa and Kim actually did better than I remembered watching the first time. She kinda deserves to be higher imo. She turned 2 votes and made it a close vote. If she doesn't do that she gets swept 7-0 and Ethan would have the first perfect game

[@tmm4195]

I actually disagree with Gavin being up there. He spent less time talking about his under the radar game and spent most of his time degrading Chris' game because he was on the Edge. By degrading Chris' game, he was basically degrading the jurors who were on the Edge as well. If Gavin had a better FTC he easily wins, so I definitely think you were too generous putting him on the list, let alone this high on the list.

Besides him, from my memory the ones I think may be up there are Matthew in Amazon, Rob in All Stars, Becky in CI, Sabrina in OW, Monica in BvW, Aubry in KR, Hannah in MvGX, Michele in WaW. Maybe in my memory they were better than they actually were but at least some of them should be in the next vid

I find that one major issue with jury voting that new era viewers fail to acknowledge is the fact that the new era jury members pretend that they base their votes professionally. It is good that the jury members at the end in recent seasons are asking the finalists to explain every aspect of their game (social, strategic, and physical). But the truth is many people still have their biases based on how they felt about their elimination and/or blindside. • Romeo’s arguing with Hai at the final tribal (despite Hai saying he appreciated the discussion) seemed to solidify that at least for Hai that he lost a jury vote. • I also read somewhere that in season 43 that Karla may have based her jury vote personally when Cassidy voted her out (although I was happy that Gabler won). • Season 44 was fun to watch. It would’ve been neat to see Carolyn win since she gave it her all strategically with her alliances and idol plays; but considering how random she was socially, she wouldn’t stand a chance against Yam Yam. It honestly does not matter how much production stresses that the jury should vote based on gameplay alone. When it comes down to it, there will still be people that vote based on how they feel.

strongly disagree with you about Gavin's final tribal council performance. I appreciate you included some positive elements of it, but he was extremely dismissive about the edge experience and when the majority of the jury spent a majority of their time on EoE, you can't act so dismissive of their experience. I acknowledge the difficulty he was in, but I think that he should have emphasized the difficulties of social bonding that occur within regular survivor compared to the edge. EoE survivor is a different game and the social bonding is under different circumstances.

[@JohnnyHikesSW]

The lesson from Gavin’s performance- You are not going to win if you say the same thing over and over at Final Tribal, even if it’s true. Mix it up, cover your bases, give the jury several different reasons to vote for you

[@aperson22222]

No, Gavin was just bitchy and petulant and resented the Edge for existing. Of course many fans resent the Edge for existing too, because its entertainment value is dubious at best, but that's not his issue here. And he was really pitching his anti-Edge case to the wrong crowd: a jury full of people who'd been living like shipwreck victims for weeks when they could have gone on a nice vacation instead did not want to hear how meaningless and illegitimate their experience was. I quite liked War Dog's response shutting Pineapple Boy right down. Also, didn't Lil Morris make it to final tribal council in the classic era?

I don’t think Gavin should be this high, mostly because he sets his argue up as against the edge, which isn’t a good idea considering majority of the jury was on the edge

[@JRJuggernaut1]

I actually have to question Gavin’s placement here, purely because while I do agree he does a good job undermining Chris, he doesn’t do as good of a job owning his game and presenting it in a positive light! The thing is, that’s the reason even Victoria, his closest ally, voted for Chris! As someone who a couple months ago had a pretty in depth chat about her season, it seems like Gavin’s loss was mostly his own undoing. Yeah, he deserves some credit for his performance, but I think he had a genuinely good shot of winning this season had he done a better job speaking up for himself! Instead, Chris won because in addition to connecting with the jury, he was able to make a good case for himself! Just my two cents and I respect putting him on this list, but just my thoughts on his performance!

[@daniellegershman9165]

In my opinion, for WORST FTC performances, I would say Natalie in WaW. This might be an unpopular opinion (I haven’t heard anyone else talk about this) but she genuinely had a good chance to win if she owned her game. She dominated the game without really even being in the game. Tony was saying how he had so much control, but Natalie was the one controlling him. If Natalie had just showed the jury how dominant of a force she was, she could’ve won. Instead, she talked about the one week she was in the game, but that was mostly irrelevant to her story. She ignored everything she did on the edge without realizing that she drove the entire game from being so dominant on the edge. It felt like she ran a whole marathon and then stopped ten feet before the finish line

[@TheLoserface45]

For me, Dawn had one of the WORST final tribals ever. Her final tribal for me was a lot like Sugar’s in Gabon. She was burning already scorched earth. From the looks of it, she had Malcolm and Reynold pretty strongly going in and they voted for Cochran anyways. The teeth thing with Brenda wasn’t the fact that she did it, it was the fact that it took so long. All she had to say get the respect was “no, I woulda stayed. Here’s my teeth”. Instead she fought and antagonized.

I also think Gavin did terribly, as he had absolutely zero understanding of what his jury actually wanted. Granted, his game was weak going in. Remember, the point of Final Tribal Council isn't to impress people watching on TV. It's to convince your particular jurors to vote for you.
