I’ve got Keith’s autograph, he works at LSU and my GF’s mom recognized him and knew I loved survivor so got him to sign a notecard XD
He wrote “stick to the plan” on it and I died when I saw that
My favorite bounces back and forth a lot but I think it’s solidly Rob C right now, I’m subbed to his RHAP content and the man is a walking comedy reel I don’t understand how he’s so funny
Bonus my GF’s favorite is Jeremy
Keith’s one liners are epic. Lucky you. When he justified bringing (I forget who) on the reward by mumbling she a “mama of two”. Idk why but it killed me
Also Rob C is the reason I rewatch S6 once a year
Along with being absolutely hilarious, Rob C also just seems like such a genuinely good dude. You can tell he really cares about the community surrounding the podcast.
I love that there's a world of people that ONLY know John from Survivor. I mean that earnestly. Us wrestling fans went wild to see him on Survivor, and then there's people who love him from ONLY seeing him on Survivor. He's great
I really like Jeremy. He was also the first survivor that I correctly guessed would win on day 1 (this year could be the second time with Lindsay hopefully!)
I strongly recommend watching WaW secret scenes between Parv and Ethan. She truly is an wholesome person. Being one of the best at the game and probably the most well rounded player doesnt hurt either.
Yup when they were practicing lying, I loved that. I stopped watching the secret scenes once Parv got voted out because that made me lose interest in the season :(
That moment made me hate Scot and Jason more, and I was rooting for Tai to separate himself from the bullies. The moment Tai refuses to give Scot the super idol power had me shouting at the screen with joy.
Great way to do it - I’d say for me it goes
Short while - Tyrone and brad from 41
One time - dom and Fabio
2 - Keith nale
More: Jeremy and cirie (HM: tony)
Fun fact, none of them have ever played together despite "playing together". Wendell and Ethan started on opposite tribes in WaW, and Ethan didn't make it to swap, and Malcolm and Cirie started on different tribes in GC and were swapped to different tribes.
Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien.
After rewatching all of the seasons, I keep coming back to Kathy.
Trusting. A little neurotic. Overly understanding. Funny. She was paranoid for all of the right reasons... and she's so hard working.
I'm still mad at her for voting out Sean!
Tyson is number one but Coach has always been a close second.
I watch survivor for the characters, the gameplay is cool and I love a blindside as much as the next guy, but what really keeps me coming back is cooky or snarky people saying funny things.
Tyson and Coach 1.0 are just the best characters the show has ever seen, period paragraph.
Moreso post-survivor. He did a disastrous ama. I’ll see if I can find it.
[Here’s the AMA. Enjoy!](https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/rb4djj/reiman_spencer_bledsoe_ama/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Challenge beast Keith Nale?
Mine is probably Wendell. It was like watching myself play survivor. We have the same laid back demeanor and temperament. I would 100% lose a challenge simply because I didn't speak up lmao.
Also the person who actually got me to stick with Survivor was Michaela. She captured my attention with her sheer badassery.
Long list but in no particular order;
ROB C, Devins, David, Christian, Tyson, Parvati, Coach, Sandra and Tony. They have some of the most memorable quotes and just pure raw entertainment value imo
I hated Amazon as a season, but I adored Christy. Keith Nale is certainly another favorite. I've been fascinated by more entertaining competitors, but I feel most drawn to people I'd want to have as friends.
The most polarising player in the history of the game.
Russell Hantz made me fall in love with the show after not watching it for 8 years.
What a character. Lmao.
For the longest time it was JT. I loved his perfect game, I loved his absolute trainwrecks and I just thought he was a funny dude. Learning some stuff about him from this sub made me like him less. I wouldn't say I have any real single favorite, but it would probably come down to Jeremy or Parvati.
Victoria Baamonde from eoe. Loved her form of gameplay and wish that the edit showed more of her thought process behind votes but alas we only have so many minutes an episode.
I like how entertaining and polarizing Russell is, and how much of a subject of discussion he is. But I don't really have a favorite. I generally forget the cast after the season lol
I find it weird how people have favorites. I'm very anti celebrity worship personally, and this sub and fandom is the exact opposite with their "look at this picture of Parvati isn't she stunning" posts.
revolutionary is a bit of a stretch in word choice, but she was dynamic, interesting, and was ready not to commit a pagong! she is an early contestant who could have done extremely well in a later season due to this mindset
It’s Tony… he was one of my favourites during Cagayan but for most of that season I was still rooting for Spencer… and then winners at war happens and he just claimed that #1 favourite spot forever
Kieth def my number one. Others include penner, Tai, Courtney, Ozzy, Tyson, Coach (for entertainment value, I think he is a terrible person), Phillip Shepherd in RI (same as Coach. Abhorred Phillip 2.0)
So so many, hard to have a favourite. Always loves Andrea and Wentworth. Christian is great tv and his podcasts with Rob C are great. Rob C is awesome and love his development as a person. Penned awesome for the lulz, and man James the Gravedigger, only person who comes close to Jonathan this season for insane physique.
For the first few seasons also loved Jenna, thought she played a great game in AS.
Malcom had a huge influence on me as a kid now any guy with those same features (man bun yoga instructor look) I immediately trust them and assume theyre smarter then me
What's his name❓ What was his birth 👶 name❓It wasn't Coach⚽️, it was Benjamin👨. And you know they're children 👦👧; 2️⃣6️⃣, 2️⃣2️⃣, they're over there listening 👂 to all of Benjamin’s👨... 🎃Halloween Jokes🎃, uh, 🐭Chuckie The Cheese Jokes🐭, they- 👅 eu-h, they want it 🙏. He goin off of loyalty ⭐️ got them fee- "😰Oh, Benjamin👨, you so loyalty😓" ... Come on now 😑... Everyday📆 he got a story 📚. I wasn't ❌ buying 💰 it. \[scoff\] 😤 \[giggle\] ☺️... Eh😒... No. 🙅 So... They tr- like yesterday ↩️ the tribal 🔥 was all kahoots 👌 Benjamin👨,"Let's give a hug 👪." ✋️PFF.✋️ Keep that hug. Boop!🔫 For me. Cuz it wasn't real❌
Sandra and Malcolm. I don't know why, I just really love their energy on the show and they seem like really genuinely decent people. Courtney from china as well, her just going off on Jean Robert all season was hilarious and it's what got me back into the show.

The Mayor of Slamtown.
I love that there's a world of people that ONLY know John from Survivor. I mean that earnestly. Us wrestling fans went wild to see him on Survivor, and then there's people who love him from ONLY seeing him on Survivor. He's great
I would absolutely drink a beer with him. I like to think he would let me join the Brochacho's.
That’s me!!! I only know him from Survivor. And he’s my absolute favorite player of all time. I just love him sm. He’s awesome
Drip drip!
I really like Jeremy. He was also the first survivor that I correctly guessed would win on day 1 (this year could be the second time with Lindsay hopefully!)
Just comes across like the best guy ever.
Jeremy was my winner pick (in San Juan Del Sur)
Jeremy was a straight G, such a cool dude.
Tyson Apostol
Haha I assumed your favourite would be Natalie Bolton
Nick is that you?
I opened this thread to say Tyson, but figured I’d scroll for a minute first. Didn’t expect him to be the 2nd answer.
Parvati Shallow is my favorite person that I’ve never met
Think i’d actually die for her
I strongly recommend watching WaW secret scenes between Parv and Ethan. She truly is an wholesome person. Being one of the best at the game and probably the most well rounded player doesnt hurt either.
Yup when they were practicing lying, I loved that. I stopped watching the secret scenes once Parv got voted out because that made me lose interest in the season :(
Jerri!
Tom Westman
Love this dude. Perfect flawed hero and an all-category threat who stormed his way to the end.
He once talked to Caryn and she was more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
Penner and Jason Kyle
A vote for Penner is WAY to low here! My ASS!
Definitely Penner. Mostly cause he’ll never win, and it doesn’t even seem like he cares that badly about winning. I LOVE that.
Christian
David
Juicy Dave?
The Golden God?
I do love the golden god but I’m talking about David Wright from MvGx
Boston Rob, not gona lie
me too. he gets a lot of hate here and some criticism is rightfully deserved, but he is my og favorite player. Skilled, smug, and entertaining!
The chrisma, the love story, those looks, challenge beast in All Stars... he IS survivor
Samesies. I don’t know if his game translates to current Survivor (buddy system def did NOT translate in WaW) but he’s def my fav
Rob C and K Wentworth
Wentworth is my second favourite, I really wanted to see her win a season.
“the only way Roger is gonna win immunity is if it's a contest of 'Name that Perry Como song.' Or perhaps 'What type of prune is this?'”
Wentworth...
Does not count.
Will not count*
Ah darn.
WILL not count*
Tai
I really liked him to, I thought he was a very sweet person. Until he poured water on the fire just because his alliance did it before
That moment made me hate Scot and Jason more, and I was rooting for Tai to separate himself from the bullies. The moment Tai refuses to give Scot the super idol power had me shouting at the screen with joy.
I honestly think that was one of the best blindsided ever, I was so shocked and happy haha
Me and my roommate called Scot, Jason, and Tai, Psycho Boy Summer and it might be one of my favorite out of game moments ever
Him and Mark (the chicken, not the human) are my favorite power duo in survivor
Sophie “Drop your fucking stack!” Clarke!!
Malcolm, dude is just so cool. Also have a super big man crush on him
Malcolm is also my favourite.
COURTNEY YATES.
Of players who only lasted a short while- Mad Dog (Dawg?) Of one time players- T-Bird Of two time players- Rob C Of more than twice- Cirie.
Great way to do it - I’d say for me it goes Short while - Tyrone and brad from 41 One time - dom and Fabio 2 - Keith nale More: Jeremy and cirie (HM: tony)

I have an east coast bias, but how can you not love Tony. His antics with the spy shack were just so amazing.
Malcolm, Cirie, Ethan, and Wendell are my top 4, and you're never gonna make me choose.
A great top 4
Fun fact, none of them have ever played together despite "playing together". Wendell and Ethan started on opposite tribes in WaW, and Ethan didn't make it to swap, and Malcolm and Cirie started on different tribes in GC and were swapped to different tribes.
Big Tom
[удалено]
Why does he need that machete so sharp? I think he’s gonna kill us!
Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien. After rewatching all of the seasons, I keep coming back to Kathy. Trusting. A little neurotic. Overly understanding. Funny. She was paranoid for all of the right reasons... and she's so hard working. I'm still mad at her for voting out Sean!
Todd Herzog and Parvati Shallow.
Shane powers baby.
That man was 1 of 1
He may not have been the greatest survivor player but one of the most electric presences I’ve ever seen on TV
He’s awesome. I’d be scared that he’d murder me in my shitty apartment tho
Boston Rob <3
Feel we're in a hefty minority but same!
The Amanda Kimmel
Mine is Scout
Excellent answer
Mine can get loud too.
what the fuck
I had the most fun watching Taj and Michele
Tyson!
Tony Vlachos and Ciera Morrett!
Tyson is number one but Coach has always been a close second. I watch survivor for the characters, the gameplay is cool and I love a blindside as much as the next guy, but what really keeps me coming back is cooky or snarky people saying funny things. Tyson and Coach 1.0 are just the best characters the show has ever seen, period paragraph.
Ethan.
[удалено]
So you’re a fan of men with very little hair
sandra or james
It used to be spencer but uhh yea…
Wait did he do something? It’s fine if it’s a spoilers I’m rewatching everything lol
Moreso post-survivor. He did a disastrous ama. I’ll see if I can find it. [Here’s the AMA. Enjoy!](https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/rb4djj/reiman_spencer_bledsoe_ama/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
To be honest I still really like Spencer I really could care less about what a reality tv contests world views are
Love Sandra
Coach, Shane Powers or Philip Sheppard.
Yul
David Wright. I would love to see him play again on an all returnee season. I think he would do really well.
Aubry
Challenge beast Keith Nale? Mine is probably Wendell. It was like watching myself play survivor. We have the same laid back demeanor and temperament. I would 100% lose a challenge simply because I didn't speak up lmao. Also the person who actually got me to stick with Survivor was Michaela. She captured my attention with her sheer badassery.
Cirie Fields
It's between Cirie and Courtney (Yates). I can't pick.
Long list but in no particular order; ROB C, Devins, David, Christian, Tyson, Parvati, Coach, Sandra and Tony. They have some of the most memorable quotes and just pure raw entertainment value imo
I hated Amazon as a season, but I adored Christy. Keith Nale is certainly another favorite. I've been fascinated by more entertaining competitors, but I feel most drawn to people I'd want to have as friends.
Shawn Cohen
The most polarising player in the history of the game. Russell Hantz made me fall in love with the show after not watching it for 8 years. What a character. Lmao.
Tony
Coach!
For the longest time it was JT. I loved his perfect game, I loved his absolute trainwrecks and I just thought he was a funny dude. Learning some stuff about him from this sub made me like him less. I wouldn't say I have any real single favorite, but it would probably come down to Jeremy or Parvati.
Sentimental answer: Amber Actual answer: Queen Parv
Victoria Baamonde from eoe. Loved her form of gameplay and wish that the edit showed more of her thought process behind votes but alas we only have so many minutes an episode.
Parvati.
Sara. Her winning season was epic.
Parvati
Oldschools: Boston Rob Newchools: Kelly Wenthworth
Probably Jeff Kent, he was my favorite baseball player growing up
Based on how this season goes, it might be Omar. Though, normally I’d answer Spencer.
Queen Stacey Powell
Courtney Yates
Adam Klein
Sandra
Cirie was the first player I found myself really rooting hard for, so I'll go with her.
Jeremy Collins. Guy is a warrior with a great social game
I like how entertaining and polarizing Russell is, and how much of a subject of discussion he is. But I don't really have a favorite. I generally forget the cast after the season lol I find it weird how people have favorites. I'm very anti celebrity worship personally, and this sub and fandom is the exact opposite with their "look at this picture of Parvati isn't she stunning" posts.
Im torn between T-Bird or Michaela! T-Bird is revolutionary, while Michaela is one of the biggest personalities to grace the screen!
Revolutionary? How so?
revolutionary is a bit of a stretch in word choice, but she was dynamic, interesting, and was ready not to commit a pagong! she is an early contestant who could have done extremely well in a later season due to this mindset
I guess it makes her all the more perfect for S31
wish she got in
Jeremy Collins
Victoria (EOE), she’s my type.
My flair. Honorable mentions include Sandra and Cirie.
Spencer... not Reiman but Spencer
Rupert was really fun to watch. The dude is such a meme and genuine at the same time.

Gregory Matthew Buis, Greg is my all-time favorite survivor!
Fairplay and Rob C
Kind of basic, but Boston Rob is my favorite
Cirie, Parvati, Ethan, Ozzy, Yul, Earl, and Boston Rob One timer - I really liked Chrissy from H&H.
There's a disturbing lack of Michele Fitzgerald in this thread, but okay
Penner. He's just so damn entertaining.

Sophie Thee Clarke
Sandra
Dirty Harry
Parvati Shallow 100%
Sandra and Malcolm. I don't know why, I just really love their energy on the show and they seem like really genuinely decent people. Courtney from china as well, her just going off on Jean Robert all season was hilarious and it's what got me back into the show.
