Survivor: Thailand - Winner

[@hankkern3043]

Rest in peace Clay Jordan (1955-2022).

[@jonny-dp2qr]

Brian’s beginning statement is perfect lol he aced this whole game.

[@cherrypizza]

3:08 Was such a magic viewing moment, seeing Jeff step forward to effectively say that the reunions were now his (as they always should have been).

[@SaviorJooshes]

Yeah. I saw season 4’s reunion with Rosie O’Donnell and she ruined it.

[@andrewfutterman3346]

He's definitely a good host, although I actually thought Bryant Gumbel was pretty good. Since he wasn't the host of Survivor, and therefore wasn't with the contestants while they were playing, he approached his questions from a neutral perspective, and discussed the season as a whole, rather than simply the highlights. He also made sure to talk to everyone, including the first ones out.

[@CloudInvasion]

Honestly, I think Brian has to be the greatest villain to ever win this season. He definitely played this game with no remorse, and unknown to his allies and opponents alike, dominated against everyone. And let's not forget, he invented one of the boldest moves a player can make by placing themselves next to someone they know they'll win against. Heck, his loved one's video almost ruined his chances and yet he still won. Excellent player, just can't say the same for his status as a human being.

[@clamshell6863]

It also made him one of the most unpopular and forgetful players of the game. He also would never stand a chance to win again. This was also one of the worst seasons ever.

[@louisgonzales7512]

@@clamshell6863 I think it recent years, he's become THE most popular Survivor player because of how he played the game. I know plenty of people who don't like Survivor, but know who Brian Heidik is.

[@eliz6198]

@@louisgonzales7512 Lol, thats not true. He's not even in the first 50 people you would think of when mentioning Survivor 🙄. It also isn't a bold move to take a goat who you will beat to the end, its actually the weakest move you can make. And even after that, he still literally won by ONE vote! If anyone swapped their vote, then his "goat" would have won.

[@jacksonia7724]

Can I just say this season’s pre jury boots were some of the more iconic people of the season

[@isaacmemtorie3347]

Agree, the season would have been more likable if some of those people made it to the end. The top 5 are amongst the most dislikable, annoying, or boring people. Like what was casting thinking?

[@ItsAMeJoldie]

@@isaacmemtorie3347 I'm pretty sure it's the jury's fault since Erin, Penny, Ken and Jake voted out all their strongest members, and Helen and Ted, who had plenty of opportunities to get rid of Brian, didn't.

[@Desperatehusbandme]

The first person to dominate the game and the first person to treat his fellow castaways as pawns in his game. You can be ice cold and still win the title of sole survivor

[@tiagocardoso2897]

There was no way the would lose though. Jake, Helen, Ted and Jan have all stated in interviews that they would have never voted for Clay, which means that there was no way that Brian would have lost to Clay. It might be technically a close vote, but in reality Clay was always gonna lose to Brian. That's why he is the first original survivor goat, because no matter what he did, he could never win.

[@yowhatsup3514]

If Ken revealed what Brian said about Ted, Clay might have gotten Ted's vote against Brian

[@cameronholmes5590]

Brian has always been one of my favorite winners ever. While he may not be the most likable winner to ever play his social game within his own alliance was top notch and one of the best I've ever seen. And even during the reunion Jeff said to Brian that he thought he was and I quote "one of the smartest people to ever play the game." That might be the nicest thing Jeff has ever said about Brian and I know Jeff isn't a fan of Brian but at least he gives him all the credit in the world because eat the end of the day he won and Survivor is a hard game to win.

They should’ve been on All-Stars. Brian would’ve been perfect in All-Stars. The All-Stars cast always felt like it was missing something. The cast would’ve felt more complete if it had Brian, Jonny Fairplay, Sandra, Vecepia, Elisabeth, Heidi.

[@realtalk7598]

He was miles ahead of everyone on this season in terms of intelligence. This season isn't the most fun to watch. But the best player won so that is always a positive.

[@ItsAMeJoldie]

Not exactly... The reason he won was because Sook Jai voted out EVERY good physical player, and then the smartest one. He won the last 3 immunities. Ted was naive and trusted Brian too much, same goes for Helen, Ghandia dug her own grave, though it kind of is Helen's fault and Tanya literally got sick. This guy was just destined to win anyway, since it looks like the game was ALWAYS in his favor.

[@realtalk7598]

@@ItsAMeJoldie He was just clearly the smartest there. Let everyone bury their own games while he just stayed relaxed to go onto an easy victory. Always in his favor just sounds like an excuse. He did something right. The others did something wrong.

Now to think of it, I’m actually kind of surprised Clay didn’t win. Especially after his brilliant final tribal council performance and Brian’s terrible one. I thought after that final tribal council and after all the jurors and finalists spoke that Clay had the votes of Erin, Ken, Penny, and Jake (so all the Sook Jais). I knew Ted and Helen were always going to vote Brian just based off of how Ted and Helen went on that massage reward and talked smack about Clay. I thought there was a chance Jan would even vote Clay but I personally thought al the Sook Jais we’re gonna vote Clay so that didn’t really matter

[@danieln.9135]

It would have been interesting to see a Clay win. It would just prove that the goat strategy cant always win You the game cause the goat might beat You.

[@dustinkingsbury5554]

This is the first time in the show’s history that the winner of the final immunity challenge (the final 3) won the show. It took 5 seasons for it to happen. Makes me think that’s why there are 3 people in the final jury vote now instead of 2

[@nohdee]

If there is a legends season we better see Brian

[@brendanconron6450]

I personally don’t like Brian but if I was on the jury he would’ve gotten my vote hands down. One of the best players ever…but can’t necessarily say that considering what he’s done in the real world. Oh well, no one’s perfect but he def deserved to win.

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

He actually had NO votes against him. Same w Ethan from 3 and Tina 2. Sandra 7 as well.

[@alejandrolorca5583]

And as of Winners at War, Brian is the winner to never receive an elimination vote. This is because other winners who didn't receive elimination votes in the season they won, such as the ones you mentioned and even those who completed the "Perfect Game" (J.T. and Cochran), received votes against either in later and/or previous seasons in which they competed.

[@dentrowchannel]

Brian won because of his strategic game and because the he brought Clay with him as a coattail

[@alejandrolorca5583]

I will never understand why people hate this man so much. I understand it might not be pretty the way he "betrayed" Helen or Jan, but this game IS ABOUT INTELLIGENCE and his strategy was really clever. Sure it might look unfair because maybe he got an advantage on the "Fake Merge" twist, but the game has featured other twists just as ridiculous like the "Outcast Tribe" twist on "Pearl Islands" or the "Schoolyard Pick/Day 2 elimination" on "Palau" or the fact that Boston Rob (nothing against him) was going to win easily on "Redemption Island" having more experience in the game and being more popular than anyone. Another thing is that the strategy that Brian used does not make him a ruthless person, and even more so because for me there are much worse people who have participated in the game, such as Jerri Manthey (I hate her since the incident with Kel in "The Australian Outback") or Russell Hantz.

[@alexthenebular66]

He shot a puppy with a bow and arrow. Of course we hate him.

[@ARandomIdiot81]

It's Ted's, Jan's and Helen's faults for not playing him before they played him. They should've flipped on him and blindsided when Jake and Penny were still there. They still would of had the advantage, it's also Sook Jai's fault, since they played themselves by voting out Steph, Robb and Shii Ann, who were probably the best players in the season, other than Brian, Ted and Clay.

[@samisthebest6991]

This season had an incredibly predictable winner, but Brian definitely played a wonderful game.

[@ke1ta2gi3ku4do5]

I think Jan was sort of the swing vote since Ken and Penny were obvious they were against Brian during FTC Ted, Helen and Jake were disgusted by Clay Erin felt "Clay was more honest" when she was voting (da fuck was she thinking). But the context of it all was that she is the only member of the jury that wasn't part of the merge, so when she found out that Brian thought of bringing Shii Ann to the Chuay Gahn five, she distrusted him from that time Jan was disposable according to brian, so she could've either voted both ways

[@survivortheoneincharge3195]

When people say players like Russell can’t win, I show them this, Good Job Brian you tricked them all

[@danieln.9135]

Brian had a good social game and people actually liked him until they got voted out. He also knows the right people to take to the end. People hate Russell whether they are still in the game or in the jury.

[@ToniHunterOne]

@CloudInvasion - Brian is a real S.O.B. Especially with what he pulled on Jan. Jan seemed willing to be cut from the herd instead of Helen, but Brian convinced her to betray her friend Helen. She told him she and Helen had cotton close. Jan was a very sweet person and played the game with respect until this last act. So, knowing this Brian should have taken Jan to the winners circle and not the despicable Clay. But I guess he couldn't because he knew he would lose to Jan. The S.O.B. I hope he's having fun. I just feel bad for Jan. What did she get out of his little maneuver? Yeah, this survivor was not a favorite.
