Top Ten Best Survivor Runner-Ups

The Top Ten

  1. Parvati Shallow (Heroes vs Villains)

    Parvati Shallow is an American television personality, best known for her strategic and social gameplay on the reality competition series Survivor. She won the $1,000,000 grand prize as the Sole Survivor of Season 16, "Survivor: Micronesia" (Fans vs. Favorites).... read more

    Although she won and played well in Micronesia, her true highlight season was HvV. She played incredibly and deserved to beat out Sandra in the finals.

  2. Amanda Kimmel (Micronesia)

    She blew it towards the end, but played a great game.

    Oh my god, why is Parvati #1. I get her Micronesia game, but you know Survivor is a SOCIAL experiment and Parvati clearly doesn't understand that. She also can't understand that true strategic geniuses don't just run around acting like the GOAT just by playing 2 idols. The double idol play was crap. She just wanted to surprise everyone, clearly not thinking "hmmm, ya think maybe it'd be better if I TELL my alliance mates because I know I don't have the power to stop them from screwing me over? " Also the execution was horrible, I cringe whenever I watch her make the banana speech. Like "lolz, you're all going home, I'm such a queen I am winning Survivor ^_______^" also, she was Russell's #1 ally. Sandra wasn't Russell's ally. Sandra tried to manipulate Russell, twice. She succeeded. Parvati tried to manipulate Russell 6 times. She failed all of those times. What a QUEEN, obviously deserved it over that useless Sandra who DIDN'T go around doing flashy idol plays like Queen Parv who put a stop to those evil egotistical heroes! Amanda and Candice were so bitter how dare they not vote for the queen! UGH Queen Parv was easily the best player in HvV <3

    Ok anyways, Parvati does seem like an absolutely amazing person in real life. Rant over.

  3. Colby Donaldson (Australia)

    Colby made a memorable appearance on Season 2, Survivor: The Australian Outback, becoming one of the most popular male contestants of the early seasons. He went all the way to the end, where, in a controversial move, he chose to vote out Keith Famie and take Tina Wesson to the finale. Tina ultimately... read more

    An athletic and smart competitor.

  4. Boston Rob (Allstars)

    His best season was Redemption Island, but deserved to beat out Amber at the end of all stars, as he controlled the game

  5. Aubry Bracco (Kaoh Rong)

    I'm so mad Michael won over Aubry. Aubry was the biggest game changer by far in Koha Rong. The jury in Koha Rong was made of all morons. They were too stupid to see Aubry made great moves, and played a great game. They were mad with Aubry for eliminating them even though it was them or her.

    The most deserving in Kaoh rong

  6. Spencer Bledsoe (Cambodia)

    Spencer played an amazing underrated game in Cambodia. He started on the worst tribe and was always in the bottom of each tribe he was put in, but he always found a way to connect with the right people to get him to survive a few more days. Once the merge happened, Spencer was able to work his way from the bottom and make it to the final three despite his numbers disadvantage through his strategic gameplay, social gameplay, and physical gameplay. He played for himself when he needed to, but also was able to form a strong alliance with Jeremy and Tasha which helped him reach the final three. An absolutely amazing modern survivor player whose only Achilles heels are his arrogance and his poor jury management.

  7. Russel Hantz (Samoa)

    Annoying and a bit of a jerk, but a good player.

  8. Domenick Abbate (Ghost Island)

    When the difference between Dom and Wendell was the social dynamic between them and the deciding vote, you'd know it would be close. Dom was much more strategic, but in turn more ruthless, while Wendell played an equally strategic and social game. It was a close call, and I would've been satisfied either way.

    He was robbed. Wendell only got five votes because people were angry about Dom causing their eliminations

  9. Stephan Fishbach (Tocantins)

    The finals were brain vs brawn and unfortunately brawn won.

  10. Ozzy Lusth (Cook Islands)

    Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth is a reality television star best known for his appearances on the reality show Survivor.

    He first competed in Season 13, Survivor: Cook Islands, where he finished as the runner-up to Yul Kwon in a 5-4 jury vote. The season was notable for its initial division of tribes by ethnicity... read more

    If there could be a tie in survivor, Ozzy should have tied Yul.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Brad Culpepper (Game Changers)

    Chrissy Hofbeck

    13. The Contenders

  13. Kelly Wiglesworth (Borneo)

    100% deserved to win! Sean, Greg, Susan, and Rudy were absolute idiots!

  14. Coach (South Pacific)

    The weirdo deserved the south pacific win.

  15. Twila Tanner (Vanuatu)

    A great runner up to ultimate winner Chris.

  16. Courtney Yates (China)

  17. Tasha Fox (Cambodia)

  18. Chase Rice (Nicaragua)

  19. Michael Skupin (Philippines)
