The Most Ingenious Moves By Survivor Winners - Part 1

[@llamaarmyaldc9436]

My number one is Natalie Anderson pretending she accidentally voted for Alec instead of Reed. No one realized she intended to betray her alliance and her gameplay was a joy to watch!

[@GoldenWalrus]

YEEEEEESSS

[@Swirlss321]

You mean Keith* That was amazing move because, it gave Jon and Jac less power since they were closer to Alec. And allowed her to keep a Challenge beast preventing Jon from winning immunity. She successfully utilised Keith in the Baylor vote too. Hands down one of the best moves!

[@llamaarmyaldc9436]

Swirlss321 Yes I meant Keith. My bad

[@khensiapco3336]

Swirlss321 keith didnt participate in the baylor blindside. Whatever keith did it didnt matter. It would be 2 - 2 - 1, 2 Jac (cancelled by nat) 2 baylor and 1 whoever keither voted

Yul is my all time favorite survivor. While Cook Islands brought many people their favorite survivors, you can tell by episode 2 the way Yul is working everyone is a straight shot to a million dollars. He was the most threatening nonthreatening person to play the game IMO. Plus nearly everyone asking Yul if it was OK to vote for this person or that person was hilarious.

[@maggie198333]

It's not on the show, but Yul once said post-game that he exaggerated his stomach illness in the game to make himself less of a challenge threat, so everyone was focusing on Ozzy.

Yes. Natalie’s tribe was down 8-4 in #’s 7-5 w/ Shambo at the merge & she was responsible for the other tribe voting out Eric on the first post merge vote. Eric was on the opposing majority tribe.That was her huge move of the game. Of course Russell outplayed Natalie in most other fazes of the game. Russell just did a horrible job with jury management & owning the game he played at final 3.

You have to include Sarah in Game Changers: using Sierras info about the Legacy Advantage, voting Sierra out and still giving the advantage to Sarah. Something that is undervalued is that Sarah would’ve gone home in the Final 6 had not everyone but Cirie play an idol.

[@AirPlaine70]

KamusiWolfie But it was Sarah’s social game. Culpepper was with Sierra from the start, but she chose to tell Sarah instead. I think Sarah’s social ingenuity to get close with a top dog of an alliance made it a subtle yet effective move in her long game.

[@fantomanimus6401]

Honestly as someone who works in entertainment: they'd never let me on a show like survivor or amazing race. The camera angles alone give a way so much if you know what to look for. And as a person who's life is spent on the backstage side...it's literally my job to manage all of that. So I'd just inadvertently get helped by production. They'd hate filming me.

[@mckinlylove21]

Danni was definitely underrated! I feel like that whole season was really. It was a great season and I really enjoyed it. I’m also surprised we haven’t seen any of those players return for any seasons other then Steph whom cane for HvsV. It was generally a great cast in my opinion 🙌🏼

[@nolanrussell6326]

Danni is coming back for season 40 though, so that will change soon

[@mckinlylove21]

Nolan Russell yes I know, I’m super excited about her return.

[@abbyrose6660]

I agree, Danni played the UTR game brilliantly and it's what won her the game compared to Stephenie who spent her time making too many enemies rather than doing what Danni did. I also think that there are plenty of people from Guatemala who need to return, with Brian and Rafe being at the top of my list. Did you know that Amy was almost on Heroes vs Villains as well? I think that's the closest that we've had to having one of the original Guatemala cast return. I'm glad that Danni is going to change that since as much as I didn't want s40 to be all winners, I'm glad it is since we get to see Danni again and I think she's one of the real early contenders to win.

[@mckinlylove21]

Abby Rose oh my goodness no I didn’t know she was supposed to return for HvsV that would have been great. I liked her. Yeah I am not thrilled about this S40 winner season but I have to agree with you that Danni has a real shot of winning! I’m excited to see her.

[@abbyrose6660]

Mckinly Goodman i was only iffy about it because there were plenty of other players who didnt win that id rather see again, but im hyped for yul, danni, michele, natalie and wendell. and yeah, it says that amy was contacted on the casting part of the heroes vs villains page but i dont remember if it said why she wasnt put on or not.

Thanks for covering Danni and her strategy. I have often wondered if the castaways could pick up any tells from production during the confessionals or by listening to Jeff at the Tribal Council of what might be going on with other contestants. Danni says that she could pick up clues during the interviews and was guarded with her strategy. It certainly might be in the way things get edited but it has often appeared that the way Jeff conducts the Tribal, the questions he ask, situations that he addresses and the castaways that he calls on or identifies that it would give clues if something is going on.

My understanding of the prisoner's dilemma was that the two prisoners would both snitch, and serve more time (usually 2 years), then if they had both kept their word and stayed silent (1 year). In my classes it was used to show the value of contracts, or some other kind of commitment insurance, which the prisoners obviously do not have. So, since one can flip (to go free), it's assumed that they will, and so the other prisoner must as well (or serve 3 years), to in the end, serve the inefficient 2. I'm not sure how applicable it is to your analogy, except at the end where Natalie snitching on Ashley is the right move (and Ashley remaining silent is not).

I think (well, hope) that the older players will know this, and will get out the players who are more adept at idol use before they get to run with the idols. Plus, I predict that a lot of the younger players won't have the same connections--less time in the community, a few don't have a spouse or children.

[@danad.a.6386]

Wendell is a great challenge player but I think where the older winners really excel is with their social game. I think an older winner will take it. I'm sure they have all been paying close attention to how the game has changed since S20/past 10 years.
