THE TOP 10 GREATEST SURVIVORS (WE INTERVIEWED OVER 50 PAST CONTESTANTS)

[@AdamJumba]

Thanks everyone so much for watching The Top 100 Greatest Survivors especially those who were here from the start. It means a lot and we appreciate all the views, subscribers, and comments. Our intention was to bring a little joy to the Survivor community during these troubling times and I think we did just that! Thanks to everyone involved in making it as well. And now the New Era for the Russell Hantz Show officially begins!

[@dylanjamieson4300]

Hell of a list. And I was surprised that Russell was included as when he started talking about doing it, he mentioned that he was withdrawing himself from the running of being on the list. This list was a hell of an achievement.

[@lisaann3063]

Thanks Adam!! This was incredible! Your editing is superb! I only fear for the day that CBS steals you away from Russell. You’ll have to negotiate and tell them you’ll only go with them if Russell gets to play again! Seriously your hard work is apparent and truly appreciated by a ton of people!!!

I watched survivor when I was a kid he was the only one I remembered

[@lanahzesteen3394]

I actually like Russell he's one of my favorite players to watch. But he cannot be a top 10 player simply because he is memorable and entertaining as he is a top 20 player in my opinion and even that may be to high. There are players who might be forgettable or only played once that showed more skill for the game. Players like Sandra, J.T., Richard Hatch, and Russell are not top 10 players in my but this video would lead you to believe that these players are top 10 and if you disagree your the crazy one. I would put players like Earl from FiJi, Tommy from Island of the idols, Yul from Cook Island and winners at war, Sophie from South Pacific, and Kim from One World over these guys.

[@psychospike7458]

Russia hantz is top 10 become he is basically the bridge between old school gameplay and new school gameplay.

[@joecoolberry911]

He should of won Samoa, the reason he didn’t was a salty jury and taking Natalie to the end instead of Jaison or Shambo

[@brooklynn1957]

Right , wrong or indifferent, Russell out played them. He played the damn game like it was meant to be played. Stepping on people to get to the end. This is not a game about making friends. It's about making money. You want friends go to kindergarten not Survivor.

[@geraldwampis1581]

Imagine if Woo picked Kass to join him in the final two. Tony would've been top 30-50s.

[@cjtrules1]

I would put him even higher than that. Would he have been asked back for GC? If so then how far does he go in that? Does he still have a solid relationship with Sarah? If Tony wins GC, then Sarah doesn't and he has a WAY harder time in WaW which probably leads to him not winning.

[@Pirttis]

Very interesting point. Maybe in an alternate universe.

[@corny6909]

Christopher Thomson but if tony didn’t win Cagayan he wouldn’t have been on winners at war

[@cjtrules1]

Corny read my whole comment again. It’s a trickle down effect. If he doesn’t win Cagayan does he even get on Game Changers? If he does then does he win that even though everyone knows how he played in Cagayan? If he wins then Sarah doesn’t which completely changes Winners At War.

[@corny6909]

Christopher Thomson oh yeah I missed that my bad. Personally I don’t know if he would’ve as he went in with Ben and Sarah but he’s super intuitive so he’d find a way in probably, assuming he would be taken out early for winning game changers

HvV had 4 previous winners at the time and also had 8 people who either finished 2nd or 3rd place. GC had 3 people who finished 2nd or 3rd. Those numbers don't even add Cirie who should have made at least 1 FTC. Also in HvV 9 players were playing for their 3rd time. 7 players in GC (took out Cirie since she's in both seasons).

[@krisuler7734]

The thing that I liked and respected a lot about Parvati, and Kim Spradlin too, is that she wasn’t afraid or against playing with her fellow female tribe members. A lot of females tend to be against playing with just women because they end up fighting with each other yet Parvati was able to bond and work so seamlessly and well with numerous women and truly form relationships with them. I liked that about her, it showed her confidence, how secure she was with herself, how she wasn’t intimidated or threatened by other women and the reason why this should be mentioned...unfortunately...is because we’ve seen it time and time again where girls are not able to work with each other in big groups and she was able to bring Alexis, Nat, Amanda, Cirie together and work with them. Plus her flirtatious side was truly authentic, she never had to play that up, that is her naturally. Russell was right to say others try to be like that and she just has it naturally. I grew to really enjoy watching her play this game.

Bruh the fact you just wrote this much is crazy like how are your hands doing

[@CameraBagster]

Cirie is my favorite character in Survivor and Parvati is my favorite player in Survivor. I’m so glad they placed as high as they did, agree with their spots. I really think Parv should’ve won HvV, that probably would make her #1 imo bc of Tony’s GC performance. But Tony is great and deserves #1 absolute legend and so likable and entertaining.

[@nathanrice830]

They are both hit and miss.

[@youngkiller3618]

Tony and Sandra were to very different players Sandra "Anyone but me" Tony "I'm just a regular guy" Those are what they say in almost all of their seasons Sandra Becomes your friend and makes an alliance with you and can and will play from the bottom Tony Gives up food for loyalty to him creates alliance that stay together with cult like loyalty. Then Tony will not play from the bottom in any way That is how they both play They play different and are very different people and players

[@kharihammon9784]

@@esdeathisbae9480 I agree that Tony is the best. However, she never played remotely horrible. Tony outright sucked in GC. Albeit not having that much of an impressive first timer it’s still a pretty solid game as she nudged to boot out JP, secured alliances from tribes that she would’ve made it a deep run while getting screwed by an OP idol, delayed merge n bottle twist.

I really hope Russell and Adam reacted out to all of them so I'm super sad that only 2 (not counting Russell now) said yes to an interview. This episode definitely showed there is STILL people who hate each other or do not respect one another but I wish everyone could have buried the hatchet for a least a little while to do this production. I would have loved to hear from BR, Sandra, Parvati, even Hatch who I personally don't like talk about their Survivor peers.

@@bc5163 I disagree, I think that her most likely path to winning is taking Tony out in fire at 4, and she knew that. Tony was a huge target that she knew people would come after before her (which people did, Tony outplayed them.) If she takes Tony out at 7 or 8, that puts a huge target on her back, and all the "big target" shields are gone, and she doesn't have her closest ally either, in Sophie. Had she kept him in the game as a meat shield (which she did) then beat him in fire, she unquestionably wins
