#20: Denise Stapley – “Survivor: Philippines” She’s the first Canadian winner and showed lots of upside, but the specific situations she found herself in during Survivor 41 make it hard to argue that she should be any higher on this list. Perhaps not since Todd Herzog has a winner been able to sway the jury so convincingly with just her final Tribal performance, but this “lion dressed like a lamb” definitely grew stronger the longer she was able to plead her case. Once she “reversed the game” with the hourglass advantage, the underdog went on to win three Individual Immunity challenges on her way to a convincing 7-1-0 final win over two other worthy opponents. She benefitted greatly from being on the winning tribe all the way to the merge, never having to attend a single Tribal Council…that isn’t a negative for her game but it’s hard to count that in her personal favor either. Erika was a fiercely underestimated player, who was smart and savvy enough to will her way deep into the game. It was a different game in comparison to all other seasons that came before it, in that it was only 26 days instead of the usual 39. “Drop the 4 and keep the 1” was the moniker of the first “new era” season of Survivor.

A mediocre winner somehow finds him or herself at the end, and scrapes out a few votes. The upper echelon of winners can at least manage their juries. Yes, you have to adapt to the rules and twists or your season, but a key ingredient to what makes Survivor Survivor, is the ability to win jury votes from people that you had to vote out of the game. That alone puts him behind every other winner, who somehow managed to win the game. Chris is also the first winner in the game’s history to have been voted-out, only to return and win the game. Sure, he made the most of his last few days in the game leading up to his 9-4 win, but he was only in the game for a total of 13 days! The other 26 he spent on Edge of Extinction, and while that’s no cake-walk, it says nothing about his legacy as a winner. #39: Chris Underwood – “Survivor: Edge of Extinction”Įxplanation: Chris might go down in history as the most controversial winner the game will ever know.
