Natalie Anderson did a lot more than that. She did several things simultaneously while doing this.... that guaranteed her the win. 1) she broke up Missy and Baylor, and while she knew she wouldn't be able to win unanimously against any combination of the other three, she guaranteed that a split in votes wouldn't be for her hands, which was a calculated risk. 2) she redeemed herself in Jon's eyes immediately after orchestrating his blindside in saving Jaclyn, and while she was never gonna get his vote either way he was also never gonna do any jury poisoning against her after she saved Jaclyn. 3) and this one is subtle but the most important of all, when she turned around and asked Jaclyn if she voted for who Natalie told her to vote for, she communicated very clearly to the jury that Natalie, and Natalie alone, was making a huge move and was the person solely responsible for Baylor being sent to the jury. she showed them that she was actively and commandingly taking control of her own fate. 4) as a final note, the reason she went for Baylor instead of Missy was that Baylor is more strategically adept, particularly when speaking to people outside of her family. yeah she was considered a brat by many but she also had fewer people majorly pissed at her for purely emotional reasons than Missy did. by: tdarkhorse4.

[@michaelalansara8893]

I really feel like Nat is a top 5 player in survivor history. Physical, Strategic, Social...++ in every way.

[@jonathanlee2099]

Natalie's move was so awesome to watch, I love that it wasn't flashy just for the sake of making a BIG MOVE, but was the move that literally won her the game.

[@tommysainttropez]

Natalie as the first 1 makes me so happy. Her telling Jon to play his idol at the Final 9 and the acting after voting Alec out could have been 1st in this list too.

[@zpsurvivor]

Sandra's move on Coach is the most underrated move (imo) in survivor history. If she didn't make that move, Courtney would have gone that tribal, then her, making Sandra the second member of the jury instead of her winning the season.

[@vini_siq]

And she made that amazing move without any advantage or idol. Just her strategy. The Queen stays Queen.

[@psitogata]

Sandra was a goat, she won 2 times being a goat, that was her strategy, being a goat and go with the flow with a good idea... and an anoriginal one...

Natalie has another great flashy move when she pretends that she vote for the wrong person

[@MrCarl760]

Vinicius Rocha and then when she literally yells to the other tribe in front of the entire cast at a challenge to vote out Jon who was a huge physical threat and could've came at her later had Coyopa not listened and kept him

[@seamustierney6527]

With any other cast, that move would sunk deep into the waters of Nicaragua

[@KevinGetchell]

I see why you think it’s flashy but it was to also save he own ass

[@hugerhumm3439]

Kevin Getchell well yeah it was to save herself, why else would she do it lol. She knew keith would work with her and Alec wouldn’t so she made a ballsy move and pulled it off

[@vini_siq]

Nat A is soooo underrated by the fan base. She is, in my opinion, one of the best winners of the show.

[@editingisle4405]

Marcus Vinicius Siqueira ikr Natalie is really outstanding in her season, despite her brilliant moves...she is still authentically underrated in the whole show

[@JLMac322]

Agreed. She's so smart and physical, plus she's entertaining to watch (always loved that time when she tried to spit during that one challenge and got it on her shirt lol) Truly a badass, and she's crushing it on EoE this season

Natalie's Game was so flashy in San Juan Del Sur, I loved watching her play it was amazing and fun I was rooting for her from the start.

[@kaileim970]

I mostly agree with you. Loved watching her in San Juan Del Sur but I was against her after watching her and her sister on TAR. They really irritated me with their constant bickering with each other so I was not a fan at all going in. I totally switched.

[@rockstar2013100]

Natalie also made ANOTHER flashy Move when she knew the Alliance of Reed, Wes, Keith, wanted to blindside Jon, and Natalie figured it out. She wanted Jon out already for taking out Jeremey, but realized she needed Jon, so she told him to use his idol. So she saved her Numbers, and Set herself up to blindside Jon later

[@IDKlaus]

It was actually Keith who messed up their plan when he was loud in tc saying just stick to the plan

[@Geraki0n]

4:40 Actually, there's a rumor that Parvati threw the Final Immunity challenge in Micronesia, and she of course went on to win. If so, the difference is that she wasn't flashy about it. The logic would work similarly to Hatch's in Borneo. Hatch knew that if Rudy won the challenge he would go on to win the game, but that he would take Hatch regardless out of their long friendship. If Kelly won, as she did, she would take Richard as she would've lost against Rudy. In Micronesia, Parvati is the parallel to Rich, Cirie is the parallel to Rudy, and Kelly is the parallel to Amanda. Parvati knew that either player was going to take her to the end. Arguably, Cirie would've taken Parvati thinking Amanda would've been better at FTC and thus more of a jury threat (China hadn't aired yet, revealing Amanda's abysmal FTC abilities). And as we know, Amanda won and would bring Parvati knowing she would lose easily to Cirie. The other difference is that in Borneo the alliance had fractured between Kelly and Rich/Rudy, while all 3 were going strong in Micronesia. By not winning the FIC, Parvati didn't have to vote an alliance member out. Meanwhile, Amanda embittered Cirie by voting her off.

[@maggie198333]

People underrate Jeremy for playing the idol for Fishbach, saying that Fishbach went out next way. But no. Jeremy voted out Ciera. The game will turn out differently had him not save Fish that tribal.

[@cookingwithalf1]

Yes Nat is #1 of course. Most efficient and flashh idol play EVER.

idk Not to mention, she completely threw Kathy under the bus during the process.

[@bigbuffguy9589]

Eh, Hatch did the exact same thing in Borneo.

[@g_4696]

I agree with your # 1. It’s so hard to pull a blindside too if there’s less people to play with but she did it. 👏🏻

[@Jason-xi9do]

Good list! I'm not a fan of her, but I feel Sarah taking the legacy advantage from Sierra could be on here, as could any of Tony's flips.

[@jarronwilliams7227]

yea, that was a great move

[@chargestone96]

nah tony flipping like a spastic was exactly what was expected of him

[@craigresendes2403]

I think in a lot of seasons, there’s a flashy move the winner makes. The ones you mention here are all definitely the perfect moves for these respective winners (although I’d argue Todd blindsiding James with those two idols is equally flashy). A few other flashy moves I think could have made the list (or honorable mentions): -Vecepia making a Final 2 with Kathy only to slice her Survivor throat the next episode by throwing the final Immunity to Neleh -Yul uses his idol to flip Penner -Natalie convinces the Galu 8 to cannibalize Erik (who also had an idol in his pocket)

[@juniper665]

Craig Resendes James blindside was a bit more of Amanda's rather than Todd's because while Todd was getting fed up at James for his two idols, Amanda went and got the votes to make it count

[@holleewoodworld]

if anyone is somehow watching this after EoE than I think we can agree that Chris belongs on this list

For the Richard Hatch scenario, Parvati "technically" threw the Final Immunity in Micronesia because she didn't want to be in a situation where she votes Amanda or Cirie out of the game.

You don't think Pavarti getting Eric to give his idol up in Micronesia was flashy? What about when Parvati witheld an idol from Russel made him believe that he needed to use it on her, and then she used her other idol on someone else without telling him? COme on man!

[@Peridiam]

Matt M Erik giving up the necklace was flashy but not top 5! Also it was less her move and more Natalie, Cirie, and Amanda. Parvati kinda did the least of the four. Also Parv didn’t win HvV, I only included moves from winning seasons.

[@juniper665]

In Micronesia, parvati had very little to do with that. Cirie came up with the plan and Natalie executed it with some help of Amanda and Parvati giving input. Also, her HvV moves don't count as she didn't win that season in particular.

4:36-4:43, I don't know about Survivor, but in Big Brother, it happened in the first All-Stars with Mike Boogie. It was him, Janelle and Erica in the final 3 fighting for HoH. It's an iconic moment in Big Brother. Boogie even references this moment and gives Richard credit when he jumps off.

[@austinbach3731]

"I can't think...of anyone who has thrown the final three immunity challenge and then won the season." Aras did it in Panama; after Terry went down he jumped off his platform knowing that Danielle would be forced to take him since neither one could beat Terry heads-up. Slightly different circumstances but pretty similar dynamic at play.

[@juniper665]

Not That Guy That's big brother all stars

[@bigbuffguy9589]

Todd's move was a little dangerous because it resulted in James having two idols and the need to blindside him at the last possible moment, but I think it made a lot of sense from his perspective because he had no way to know that the Zhan Hu idol hadn't been already found or that Peih-Gee and Jaime would decide that they actually had to win the next immunity challenge because they lost trust in Sherea or that Denise would be absolutely incapable of completing the challenge, which forced James to go ahead and win it anyway.

[@Jacois]

I recently heard an interview from Jeri about Ambers win in All Stars. Jeri was describing how Amber was working Lex and Kathy hard by playing up Rob's protection promise for 3 days. I'm not saying it should be top 5, but Amber's stock might be higher if that was highlighted. This seems as good a comment section to bring it up as any. It was on one of Rob Cestarino's Podcasts. Anyways, thanks for all the vids. :)

[@NYChica23]

What Jerri said actually makes plenty of sense when you look back on the final tribal and realize that the majority of Kathy's anger/hurt feelings were directed more at Amber than at Rob, which doesn't make much sense given the edit, but with Jerri's insight, it makes more sense now

She deviced a plan to tell Noura and Dean to vote Jack, and used her idol on Dean. Cheery on top though Jamal who also had an idol used on Noura not Jack thinking Noura was potentially going home. After all that Kellee still voted for Dean to make it look like she didnt mastermind the plan. Man that was one exciting tribal council.

When you say how many times has a person thrown the final 3 immunity challenge and won the game. Four times actually. Rich, Vecepia, Aras, and Parvati all threw the final challenge in their winning seasons. The first three were upfront about it, but Parvati confirmed that she threw final immunity in Micronesia because she knew both Amanda and Cirie would take her to the finals, and she would get the jury vote of whoever was voted out. At the time of the filming though she was hoping Cirie won because she for some reason thought Cirie was a goat.

[@Guitarfreak12345]

Only other person to throw the challenge at the final 3 and won was Vecepia, but her situation I felt was very different

Technically Vecepia and Aras threw the final immunity and still won their seasons but it was after their intended target had been eliminated from the challenge. But Hatch knew that winning was the worst move for him and it was ingenious
