This is MY opinion. You will probably disagree with it but you can give your opinion of yours, I'll accept it.
The Kings of Survivor. Once again, not based on just the game, but on their personality, their likeability and other criteras. Narrowing this to 10 castaways was the hardest thing to do, I almost made some ties for me to put all my favourites in here, but I'm not going to do so. So obviously a lot of iconic favourites did not made the cut, so don't blame me, because 10 is not much at all.
If you want after that I can do a ranking of the best players but It's gonna be way too predictible with a Top 3 with Sandra, Kim and Parvati. So please stop complaining If a brillant player is not in here, thanks.
Like Jerri Manthey in the Top 10 Female castaways ranking, this winner was absolutely obvious for me since the beginning. I'd like to congratulate Girllover101 and BoogieWoman for predicting 2/3 castaways in this Top 3.
THE FUCKING WINNER IS

JONATHAN PENNER
He's just everything.
Penner is always at the center of some drama. Especially in his first season.
And wtf I just learned that he was an actor, kinda famous.
He like received votes at basically every TCs that he went to. He flipped flopped A LOT and was hated by everyone. He also did one of the most famous move in Survivor history with Candice when he switched tribes. Of course, he's so not a perfect player. His game has flaws, like maybe playing too hard or doing questionable moves.
But, for me, that's what makes him the most interesting male castaway ever.
He was also not afraid to tell Probst how he felt about him and how annoyed he was by him < 3 . This was life. And even with this attitude, Probst thinks Penner is the best male castaway ever, that says it all.
He went so far in Cooks Island considering how big of a target he was and how hated he was, like in Philipinnes.
It was not that tragic that he was evacuated in Micronesia because
1) It allowed Parvati to win
2) He came back thanks to that in Philipinnes.
The 2 other returnees were TERRIBLE, but Penner slayed this season < 3
Like usual he was a big target since day 1 but once again managed to go to Final 7 and once again got 7th lol.
There were only one moment when I was disappointed of Jonathan, It was when he turned down the Final 4 alliance of Lisa. It's a Survivor basic, you never turned down an alliance, wtf. But he kept her secret all game so I forgive him.
The use of the idol was also pretty great. He gave us some very good TCs, like the Nate's blindside too.
Best moment : When he snapped at Probst's annoying commentaries.
What do you think about this castaway and what ranking do you think will be next ?
10th - Yau-Man Chan
9th - Paschal English
8th - Todd Herzog
7th - Rob Mariano
6th - Mike Holloway
5th - Chris Daugherty
4th - Jon Dalton
3rd - Ken Hoang
2nd - Rob Cesternino
1st - Jonathan Penner
- Ozzy Lusth : I despise him. He's so bitter and only good at one thing : the challenges. I was so glad Sophie slayed him and he was almost on my Bottom 10. Terrible personality.
- Russell Hantz : What is wrong with you ? How can this awful humain being can be in here ? One of the worst social game of Survivor ever, and definitely the worst jury management.
- Richard Hatch : Iconic and one of the best to ever play. He was disgusting tho in All Stars (even If Sue was maybe too much), that's why he isn't in here.
- Tony Vlachos : I like his game, he wasn't afraid to make moves, he's a great vilain. But he's not likable at all and I can't see him here.
- Rupert Boneham : Ugh. Of course I liked him at some point but Idk, he's waaaay too overated. The most overated player ever.
- Ethan Zohn : He's very likable, so hot, how couldn't we love him in Africa ? 100% desserved the win. But I rooted against him in All Stars because he was an ass with Queen Jerri, so that's why he can't be ranked in the Top 10.
- Rob Cesternino : Runner Up.
- John Cochran : Ok I don't know If It's a popular opinion or not, but I LOVED him in his first season. Such an underdog since day 1 and who doesn't love underdog. He made of the most controversial move ever and I liked it. But in Caramoan, just no. He was too boring. Next.
- Jonathan Penner : Winner.
- Aras Baskauskas : < 3 < 3 In Panama he was so handsome. I loved him and his rivalry with Terry was life. A very desserving winner. But in BVW, really dude ? He was meh. His brother was way better. He was kinda a joke in this season, sorry.
- Shawn Cohen : I have no fucking idea who he is.
- Tom Westman : He was SO close to make it to this Top 10. One of the best winner imo.
- Hunter Ellis : Didn't liked him and was glad he flopped as a leader. Sarah slayed you bye.
- Jeremy Collins : I was against him in SJDS, I was #TeamJosh. He was likeable still, never hated him. He wasa little better in Cambodia, but Kelley should have won bye.
- Malcom Freberg : I HATE GOLDEN BOYS. But weirdly, I liked him, way more than Joe. But like I said, I'm not a big fan of golden boys, sorry.
On the Recap, I'm gonna announce the next rankings, gonna reveal the Top 15 and other announcements :)
The fact that god didn't make it when people like a Rob M and Paschal were on the list :/ Tbh, aside from those two, this was a pretty decent list, though, aside from the exclusion of these two gods...
I don't really remember much about John tbh but yeah I liked him overall
And Pete, seriously ? Nothing against him but meh
I think you probably enjoy them because of who they're in a relationship/alliance with (Candice and Abi) flamingjoe
Jimmytv You are 100% right lol Anyone who is married to Candice is obviously amazing. Anyone willing to work with (and date?) Abi despite how crazy she is is amazing as well.
John was so sweet, too. And he wasn't afraid to stick up to that douche Brad when he was on RI. He has such a kind soul.
Pete was also great with his hatred towards RC < 3
I know there's stuff I'm forgetting that they did, but I agree that their amazing test in allies/wives also helps.
My thought : < 3 < 3 < 3
So sad we couldn't see more of him and his potential because he was the smartest of his alliance, no doubt Dolphinz811
His blindside was amazing tho
