Top 10 Most Clutch Immunity Challenge Wins in Survivor

[@lukaskontilis5477]

Jeff saying that's a record to Kelly during the very first season will always be funny to me. like of course it's a record, no one has done this show before.

[@br4dyv]

Richard also had the record for most votes at a final tribal council

[@drugstoredilemmas7962]

Rudy had the record for longest-lasting 70+ year-old…I actually I think he still holds it

[@boyishmistakes]

@@drugstoredilemmas7962 I believe he’s straight up the oldest to ever play considering his age on All Stars actually!

[@daveisham7306]

😆

[@TyBoS8]

I know what you mean, but that last part, isn’t that what a record is?

[@ratedhavok9808]

The Hero Challenge in Gabon that Matty won for his tribe was insanely clutch. The rest of his tribe was trying to throw the next challenge to send him home but he clutched up and beat out all of the Kota tribe to stay in and almost win the game.

[@YourPalJamieEllis]

I really loved that format for a post-swap just-prior-to-merging tribal immunity. Your tribe could throw individually if they choose to, but they have no power to keep you from trying your damnedest if you think you're at risk. Gabon had, no joke, fairly brilliant challenge design all around and this is one of the simple pinnacles of them from a balancing perspective.

[@Kyro4Productions]

​@@YourPalJamieEllis that's a big part of why I hate the theory that it was originally intended for there to be a real merge instead of another swap and the challenge was supposed to be individual so they just repainted the setups red & yellow and made it a team challenge. Doing "individual" tribal immunity challenges post-swap is one of the most interesting challenge dynamics for exactly the reason you mentioned, and I'd like to have faith that the producers saw the potential in that instead of just assuming they wanted to rig the game

[@owenpierce4874]

The irony of Erik's final 5 puzzle saying gaurnteed final 4 is not lost on me

[@cxzact9204]

I just noticed that deep tragic irony for the first time.

[@adammeyer347128]

Mike Holloway could make the list like 5 times easily. Every immunity challenge he won after the auction was clutch, as he was public enemy number one. That was the most “back against the wall” season probably ever.

[@rickyplott9931]

I love how much you respect Vecepia’s game. She’s one of my favorite winners and is so underrated

[@jmnny85]

Glad you gave Vecepia credit,that's more than the show has done over the years. Kelly was who I thought should have won the first Survivor,she showed amazing toughness.

[@ExploSam3]

One I feel like people miss is Nick in s37. He won the last 3 immunties, which was especially needed after his f7 idol blunder and Davie leaving at f6

[@survivorchallenges]

ehh the only immunity he needed was final 4. Davie goes regardless at f6, and they all knew they couldn't keep Allison at f5. Nick's wins were very impressive, don't get me wrong- but the only truly "clutch" win was Final Immunity.

[@JRJuggernaut1]

@@survivorchallenges I agree that’s probably true but you have to wonder if Mike and Angelina would have made a last minute decision to target Nick if given the chance. That was ultimately what happened with Davie so I have to wonder if it could have happened with Nick in final 5!

[@reginamachamer821]

Also.. I actually just decided to rewatch dvg (well.. I got a little more than halfway through the season) but I always recalled Nick as not being that good of a player for some reason and idk why bc watching back he really did have a good strategy. I honestly forgot about the last 3 immunities.

Russell vs Brett in Samoa was crazy clutch

[@philheight2808]

[@GamingFanactic911]

Terry was amazing in Panama. I was so excited for him to come back in Cambodia and so sad he had to go home for the family emergency. I really hope he gets to play again; he should have won Panama

[@TenshiAzure]

Really surprised not seeing Sophie beating Ozzy at the final 4 immunity challenge in SoPa here. Without her winning, none of the 3 finalists would have even had a chance, and her winning the season really makes that win clutch.

[@JRJuggernaut1]

Idk, I feel like it might have been a tossup at the end. Sophie won particularly because she was able to undermine Coach sure, but the power she exuded throughout the game could have had her beating Ozzy, who played a great game but whose game was also slightly undermined by a few elements particularly not being present for its entirety unlike Sophie! Obviously one can only speculate but I think if we somehow had a final with both Ozzy and Sophie I think it can very well go either way!

[@uglyaniimals]

@@JRJuggernaut1 iirc ozzy would've won basically unanimously, all his allies were on the jury and the few upolus were (rick and brandon) were all bitter. coach / sophie maybe get a vote or two tops

[@JRJuggernaut1]

@@uglyaniimals that is a fair point, Ozzy was pretty beloved by his tribe and while Sophie did play a strong game, you could obviously tell she wasn’t particularly beloved by the jury overall, and being next to two people the majority of the jury did not want to reward certainly helped her a lot!

[@stevencosgrove4053]

Yeah, this is one of the most clutch wins ever.

[@coral54hgmb]

I think had it been a less bitter jury Sophie would have had a chance had she gone up against ozzy at the end, but almost every jury member said prior to ozzy getting voted out/before final tribal that they were rooting for him and they didn’t feel comfortable giving money to any of the upolu members

[@BlushingHeartsss]

Mike was one of my favorite survivor players 😊

[@michaelgawlik2697]

Shii Ann winning immunity is the queer experience given form. The outcast defeating the people who won't even talk to her, gloating a little too hard, relishing as they turn on themselves, and then it ultimately being for nothing when she gets voted out one round later? Honestly so iconic.

[@uglyaniimals]

so true bestie

[@jaredholt7340]

Shii Ann for Survivor 50: Oops! All Legends

[@ashen_roses]

How is that somehow my ORG experiences near exactly

[@bencalebrod]

Also worth noting that Rich's immunity win at Final 7 of Borneo was arguably clutch, as Sue and Kelly were strongly considering turning on him that round while the numbers were there to do it.

[@asherstreets533]

Great video as always! The first person I thought of was Sophie… If she didn’t win against Ozzy in the final challenge, she never would’ve won the season, and he’s considered perhaps the greatest challenge beast of all!

[@oliverohm6921]

Mike is one of the best and my fav winner of all the time such a hero charactor

[@icecreamchick45]

Peih-Gee in China feels like she should be on here. She won clutch immunity after clutch immunity only to get so close at final 5

[@mattveslino252]

Shii Ann winning that immunity challenge in All-Stars meant EVERYTHING to me. When I first watched the season, I already knew Rob and Amber were the F2, but when Shii Ann won that, GOD was I hoping all the spoilers I read were wrong. Nothing like the euphoria you get when the likable, rootable, SENSIBLE player on the bottom saves themselves and forces the majority to turn on each other early. I wish she had made it farther, and honestly, I hope she gets a third chance at the game.

[@enriquelesende537]

It was so annoying seeing Alicia being a bitch about it

[@aidanmillow566]

Other clutch wins I can think of: Tom at final four in Palau (He's been in front the whole season and everyone left in the game has finally decided that he needs to go. But he wins immunity and goes on to win the game. Tony at five in WaW, you've got to feel like Sarah turns on him and he goes home without that. Sophie at four in South Pacific (who knows if she goes home if Ozzy wins but she certainly doesn't win the game). Similarly Russel at four in Samoa. Danni at six in Guatemala (I feel like the was what really gave her the opportunity to shift the game state from a pagonging) Yau-man at five in Fiji, Dreamz had the numbers to get him out and this win put him in a position to get the final immunity if either he or dreamz won it (in theory).

[@jaredholt7340]

We LOVE to see Vecepia getting the credit she deserves

[@brionrock]

glad to see Fabio after he was strangely missing from the underrated winners video

[@zachderry9964]

Funny how Deitz, Wiglesworth, and Colby were mentioned in the most recent episode of Survivor 43 and coincidentally in this video.

[@zebraswag1106]

i would argue that Yul’s entire post swap tribe immunity wins are extremely clutch because if aitu lost even a single immunity along the way then the entire merge is a pagonging of aitu

[@JRJuggernaut1]

Mike Holloway was the most obvious choice, he’s only the second competitor to win 5 individual immunity challenges and win the season! Many will criticize Mike’s win for not being the most impressive win from a strategic standpoint, but I think it needs to be said Mike’s challenge success was not only impressive on its own, but he also did play well enough to at least get to a point where he could basically win out to make it to the end! Mike was always in the majority and by the time he was a real target, that was when he kept winning, and as dumb as it was that the target he had on him was mostly his own doing, I would argue his game was still pretty solid from start to finish! Not quite as impressive as Tom Westman, who probably didn’t need to win his immunity challenges as much to win Palau, but still a deserved win at the end of the day!

Convenient timing for this to upload as Owen pulled off the clutch immunity win today!

[@ShadowandKirby324]

If we do look at more of the modern seasons: Romeo winning the final 4 immunity was so out of left field and extremely clutch. I feel like had he not won immunity, Maryanne would most likely have been going to fire and possibly going home. Erika winning the final 5 immunity was clutch even with her advantage. Ricard was beasting through those challenges and had he won immunity, Ricard would have easily won the season and Erika would have been voted out. Tori winning back to back immunity wins was very clutch and was lowkey rooting for her but alas.

[@seanf1451]

Did you watch Maryanne's jury speech? Basically every outcome ends with her at FTC. And Erika going at 5 is probably not true. She already has Xander under her thumb, and no one left really likes DeShawn, so I think he would go. Tori was pretty clutch though

[@annacleverley307]

I wish there were still challenges based on social game, like the castaway trivia. A large majority of the challenges nowadays really favour men and strength.

[@uglyaniimals]

agreed 100%

[@MaximilliansHammer]

Yeah...I still love Survivor, but it feels like they stopped trying with the challenges. "Oh, look, it's an obstacle course and a puzzle. How exciting..." I miss the psychological mind-games of destroying each other's clay masks (or whatever) to knock specific people out rewards hunts, or all the weird dynamics of the Blood vs. Water seasons. Even the eating challenges, or the Survivor auction screwed with their minds a little. But no. Obstacle course, puzzle.

[@noahmorales8433]

[@unclesquirrelstache7431]

When they ask the new Survivors their favorite moment, this is mine. I mean, after Eric giving up his immunity… Just kidding.

[@adammeyer347128]

It was clutch, except that it wasn’t. She survived one more vote and it really didn’t do anything Rob’s core alliance. Alicia was always going to be the first to go, she just left one vote earlier.

Au Survivor Spoilers: I know this is just US survivor. But I don’t think anyone is more deserving of this list than Kristie. She was rarely a contender in challenges never winning immunity or a reward (that she competed in). Only to beat 2 best challenge threats of her season in Final 3, when she knew she would be on the jury if she lost. She stuck it out for 6.5 hours to win her season.

I expect Shii-Ann and Danni on here.

[@Ryan_Tiziano]

Shii Ann’s is my favorite clutch immunity win of all time

[@ajl9772]

Danni winning immunity at final 3 in Guatemala is one of the most clutch wins. Look at who her opponents were. Yea sure she had an advantage due to her height, but Rafe and Steph had been killing it in challenges while Danni had been arguably below average. Bob in Gabon had crucial win at final 7, 6 and 5 that set him up to win a fire making challenge at 4. It was hard to believe the oldest man on the season beat all these young people in big challenges. Tory winning her immunity challenges in season 42 was pretty great and if not Drea and Maryann getting spooked by their perceived racism and playing their idols there's a real chance one of them gets blindsided and she gets to keep sneaking by. Instead, Tory was put in a situation where it had to be her or the person everyone was aligned with. A fun little thing about Terry winning his immunities is it actually saved Aras. Terry and his alliance were going after Aras who they knew was biggest challenge beast. If they flush the idol out of Terry and Aras doesn't have immunity, he's likely gone.

[@evanbriggs443]

Now if someone were to sneeze in an endurance challenge he's hype it up as THE most costly sneeze in Survivor history.
