Queen Sandra Diaz-Twine (Sassy/Funny Moments from Survivor Game Changers)

2017:
In her pre-game interview with Parade's Josh Wigler, Sandra Diaz-Twine - a former US Army specialist - made this sassy statement: "I want to be the only two-time winner ever." Mission accomplished. With a huge target on her back, she managed to survive 4/5 Tribal Councils, while knocking out the other 2 previous winners - police officer Tony Vlachos (Season 28, Cagayan) and cattle rancher JT (Season 18, Tocantins). Sandra's game was unfortunately screwed up by the 2nd Tribe Swap :( Hope she finds an idol in her next season to counteract any future Swap screw-ups.
2020 - UPDATE:
With the All-Winners season, Sandra will no longer be the ONLY two-time winner ever. HOWEVER, she still remains the FIRST two-time winner ever.
#QueenStaysQueen
#HyenaStealth
#Sugargate
#Adios
Russell Hantzy-Pantz will never win.
And wouldn't Parvati be an early boot in an All Winners season anyways?

Was totally unaware that Blogadissimo had already uploaded a similar tribute video. I focused mainly on the sassy/funny moments, which is why you see the Tribal Council zingers and don't see any puzzle victories.

Sandra was a crap player the her first two seasons, but in this season she really showed her true potential and controlled the game but was just unlucky getting split from her alliance. To me if you excluded her first 2 seasons she would be top 5 for her plays in this season. That’s just my opinion

Sandra really had no shot here, being a two time winner. But this video, and how / why she got rid of Tony and JT, shows how good she really is at this game. She would have gone even further if it wasn’t for her unlucky tribe swap. She knew she had to play with winners and physical guys this time around. It was a great strategy for her third time.

“You don’t win twice by a fluke.” How is it that an actual Survivor winner gets this but so many Survivor fans don’t?

[@dylanmcla]

Because they only see the edited package and don't get that flashy moves mean nothing if you can't get the votes. Most Survivor fans would be crap at the game. If you're a fan of Survivor and Sandra isn't in your top 5 players (Not FAVORITE just top 5 players of the game) then you're wrong.

[@dylanmcla]

@Calvin Fisher Never once did I say that you couldn't be a fan of Survivor and not think this. I simply said you'd be factually wrong. She won twice, she's one of the best players of the game of Survivor simply because of that fact. It can't really be argued. But you can hate how she plays, that it works, dislike her all you want. Totally fair. Not gatekeeping at all.

[@nixllamas9823]

People who say Sandra is undeserving of both times she won are stupid. In Pearl Islands after Rupert was voted out she was in the minority and could’ve easily went after Christa but she made it all the way to the end with her under the radar strategy. In HvV she was again placed in the minority after her allies went out early but she still made it to the end by letting Russel think he would win against her. She was aware and observant. She didn’t need to do big moves because that was the strategy that made sense for both her seasons.

The fact that she didn't get voted out in the first tribal council shows these people didn't understand how good she is. Had the tribal swap not happened there's no telling what would have ended up happening. She had the majority of her tribe, I will say she played more aggressive this time which could be why she lost. Still one of if not the best players of all time.
