Hello, everyone, this is KLS2097, the brainchild of the colour chameleon Sachiko Okada and the 'Hokkaido Jesus' Grace Moore, and I've been a long-time fan of Survivor, and a first-time user of this wiki.

I first got into Survivor with Samoa, where there was a memorable performance from Foa Foa at the merge, and the performances from Russell Hantz and Shannon 'Shambo' Waters gave me something to enjoy about that series. This allowed me to get intrigued for Heroes vs. Villains, where I would be treated to other legends of the game, such as 'Boston' Rob Mariano, Rupert Boneham, Parvati Shallow and Jerri Manthey, to name a few.

In the wiki world of Survivor, I aim to give it my best with each and every Survivor series I have in store, even if it'll take some time for me to get one done when I do have one ready.

Planned Survivor Seasons

 * Australian Survivor: Hauraki Gulf (Coming in 2020) - Castaway Applications Open!
 * 24 average Australian castaways must battle the elements and each other for the prize of Sole Survivor in the Coromandel Peninsula. More details to be coming this November.

Favourite Survivors

 * Russell Hantz (Samoa, Heroes vs. Villains, Redemption Island and Australian Survivor: Champions vs. Contenders) - Possibly the best Survivor never to have won the game (although some would say otherwise), Russell knows how to be the Puppet Master of the game, and how to find Idols without clues with ease (even J.T. foolishly gave him one as part of an infamous plan which never came to fruition; all it did was throw egg at J.T.'s face and force the Heroes to be eventually picked off one by one). He is also known for pulling two memorable blindsides; the first in Samoa, where he used the Idol to nullify the seven votes against him to blindside Galu's Kelly (which was the most decisive vote that Foa Foa has done), and the second in Heroes vs. Villains, where he not only gave the Idol to Parvati, but also convinced Tyson to change his vote to the former, thus breaking a potential game plan from Boston Rob and his alliance, giving future Sole Survivor Tyson the short straw, and engineering a memorable blindside. Of his four series of Survivor (one in Australia), he has appeared in the Final Tribal Council two consecutive times (Samoa and Heroes vs Villains); to date, only Amanda Kimmel (China and Micronesia) was able to achieve this feat as well, though she was the first to do so. Coincidentally, neither Russell nor Amanda have received the title of 'Sole Survivor' to this day, despite the fact Russell was the consecutive Player for the season of Samoa and Heroes vs Villains.
 * Robert Crowley (Gabon) - Held the title of Oldest Sole Survivor until Shane Gould came along in Champions vs. Contenders, Bob's incredible and unbelievable Immunity streak run, alongside the infamous lookalike idols both make him a stand-out Sole Survivor and deserved Fan Favourite Winner (with Susie unfortunately the most boring of the final three and Sugar alienating the entire jury of any votes with her middle finger). He was also a notable contributor to his Kota tribe (notably for creating several items for his camp, and being the only founding Kota member to remain there until the merge), and got challenges done right at his own pace, especially when odds were against him. A deservedly inspirational figure, it's people like Bob, alongside Rudy Boesch, Kim Johnson, Joseph del Campo and the aforementioned Shane Gould, among other great ageless castaways that show us that 'age is just a number' when it comes to Survivor.
 * Oscar Lusth (Cook Islands, Micronesia and South Pacific) - One of the most lovable Survivor castaways in history, Ozzy plays each game to his best ability, dominating his game physically and strategically; hence, seen in South Pacific, where he would come back into the game twice, before finally striking out at the penultimate vote. He's also a Survivor that knows how to do impulsive things, such as revealing his tribe colour by smashing the egg on his shirt, to creating a faux Hidden Immunity Idol (which was the ultimate, yet unfortunate catalyst of him being eliminated the tribal council after). In my book, he is the second best Survivor never to have won the game.
 * Yul Kwon (Cook Islands) - Another favourite from the controversial Cook Islands, Yul managed to find the Hidden Immunity Idol early on (while he was exiled) and hold onto it throughout the season, through good and bad times for the Aitutaki tribe. This proved to be the difference for him down the road to becoming the Sole Survivor. He managed to rally Ozzy, Becky and Sundra together to defeat and shut out the Rarotonga Eight one by one, making them the true heroes, unlike the mutineer Candice Woodcock (now Cody). The Idol he possessed early on also allowed him to dominate strategically and give the remaining Aitu Four the key advantage they needed in the merge, convincing former Aitu tribe member Jonathan Penner to betray Raro and vote with the old Aitu alliance to eventually make the improbable the inevitable.
 * Marty Piombo (Nicaragua) - A man that was a powerful leader before his time, Marty was our favourite Survivor loser, where he fell from grace after the switch, even making an enemy in old Espada tribe member Jane Bright (mainly due to voting Jimmy T. out instead of Dan just to be the dominant leader). Marty managed to persevere the best that he could, however, and kept coming up with ideas when his head was on the chopping block, such as the 'male rebellion' attempt, which unfortunately failed. Still can't deny one's dedication to the game, even if he deserved to go much further than he should've.
 * Rudy Boesch (Borneo and All-Stars) - A man that has broken records as the oldest survivor in history at the age of 75 (if one counts his All-Stars appearance), Rudy was a castaway that had to build up the respect for the Tagi tribe at first, the major opponent for him at the time being Stacey Stillman (which came to a head in Episode 3; who knows what would've happened for Tagi had Rudy got voted out instead of Stacey). When he managed to accept the concept on an alliance with Richard, he would make it all the way to the final three, where one of his hands gave himself the final fall from the hurdle (Kelly also had a hand in him being eliminated due to Richard's plan, but my point stands). He was unable to replicate his defiant performance in All-Stars, with his age and an ankle injury taking its toll on the retired Navy SEAL early on.
 * Spencer Bledsoe (Cagayan and Cambodia) - One of the smartest players to play Survivor (who could only be bested amongst the likes of Richard Hatch and Robert Crowley), Spencer knew how to swing things his way, and he also knew how to win challenges when it counted. The most decisive (and arguably best) decision Luzon has made was keeping Spencer instead of the rice-dumping, ball-throwing burden known as J'Tia. Otherwise, the brains would've been a complete mockery and probably eliminated one-by-one early on had J'Tia stayed longer. Reached the final four in Cagayan, and was a co-finalist alongside Cagayan returnee Tasha Fox in Cambodia, where - after Spencer gave his infamous speech to the jury - they both ultimately got curb-stomped in the votes by Jeremy at the Final Tribal Council, 10 votes to nothing.
 * Kim Johnson (Africa) - A woman that has a great amount of tenacity, stamina and vitality, Kim was one of the first women to tell us that 'age is no excuse', when one can use it to their advantage. Even when she was beaten by Ethan Zohn in the final two, one cannot deny her persistence in winning a few vital Immunity Challenges, nor that she can be a surprisingly aggressive bidder, winning 'a hell of a meal' - the fried chicken, with vegetables and potatoes - to accompany the cheese and crackers.
 * Sue Clarke (Australian Survivor) - A 59-year old woman with the vitality of a 20-year old lady, Sue is a surprise packet from the revamped Australian Survivor. The only eldest tribe member remaining, with Des Quilty first voted out and Peter Fiegehen quitting in Episode 4, Sue has proven to be a rather strong member, proving to go the distance especially when times were tough for the fading Vavau. Her noted achievement (in a challenge) was holding more weight in the form of coconuts in the net than anyone expected, especially when she was being ganged up on by opposing tribe Saanapu.
 * Luke Toki (Australian Survivor and Australian Survivor: Champions v. Contenders II) - Possibly Australia's answer to Boston Rob, Luke was a castaway that knew how to play the game. As crazy and foolish as he is, he more than makes up for it with his charismatic enigma and unique strategy to an extent, even if he took a page out of Tony Vlachos' book. While everyone in Australia probably was gutted when he failed to reach the Final Three, as he was planning to take care of his sick children’s medical expenses, Luke took it in stride, like a Champion would've. Would love to see him play the game again someday.
 * Harry Hills (Australian Survivor: Champions v. Contenders II and All-Stars) - Perhaps the best Survivor villain Australia has seen so far, Harry knows how to manipulate his fellow tribe mates; going as far as to tell them that he has a son in 'Oscar', who was a made-up story (something akin to Russell Hantz's claim of being a firefighter surviving Hurricane Katrina and Brian Heidik painting himself as a Used Car Salesman). Another castaway unfortunate to miss out on Sole Survivor status due to a scrawny yet plucky challenger in Baden Gilbert, Harry has admittedly grown on me, and I hope he does well in All-Stars.
 * Pia Miranda (Australian Survivor: Champions v. Contenders II) - One of the more unexpected yet deserving Sole Survivors, I initially had Pia being one of the first castaways to leave this game early. Wow oh wow was I way off, as the actress has shown that she can fight for her survival when her head is on the chopping block. Alongside Janine Allis, Pia managed to be cunning and clever with her strategic game-plan (her best ploy being orchestrating the blindside of David Genat), and it proved to be key come the Final Tribal Council, where Pia's spirited and impassioned performance not only got her to be the next Sole Survivor, but she won unanimously, a feat many would dream and only few (such as Earl Cole, Johnny Cochran and Adam Klein to name a few) could manage. Perhaps her greatest performance since Looking for Alibrandi.

Submitted Survivors

 * Dominique Swann - Survivor: Sazan (Abandoned)
 * Despite looking as if she just came from a meeting with a boss, Dominique is not at all means, a pushover; taking inspiration from a Donna Summer song, "The Power Of One", a 'whole new world' beckoned for the woman. Even so, she has a more lax and friendly attitude when it comes to Survivor, wanting to enjoy her time 'away from the city, every now and then'.
 * Dominique, alongside Gordon Wilson, has applied for LoverOfAllTheTurtles' Survivor series. Placed on the all-female tribe, Resgatar, Dominique was able to work together with her tribe to win Reward and Immunity in Episode 1. After being included in the auxillary tribe, Redorma, an idol was used on her in the fifth episode, sending Rick Kaymayan (Yucatan) home. In Episode 6, she was placed on Retorna, making her, along with Benjamin Long (Mongolia), one of the two castaways to be on all three tribes. She would meet her end at the merge, finishing in 7th Place.


 * Gordon Wilson - Survivor: Sazan (Abandoned)
 * Gordon Wilson.png 67-year old Vietnam War Veteran, Gordon Wilson is not afraid to prove that he has new tricks for his age. A man who is okay with being respected, he is a man who likes to crack open a beer with a hopeful friend, regardless of how he performs. He has narrowly survived the Vietnam War, withstood parenthood, and is dealing with retirement well, although he had admitted that he'd like to get his feet 'in the game'.
 * Gordon, alongside Dominique Swann, has applied for LoverOfAllTheTurtles' Survivor series. Like in Sazan, he is the oldest castaway accepted. In the first episode of LOATT's Survivor, Gordon was placed on the male-tribe, Retorna, where he found the idol. Fortunately, he wasn't the target of elimination, and was able to hold onto the idol subsequently to the merge. Making it to the Final Three, Gordon outlasted Drew Schafer (Aruba) and Bruce Santos (Italy) to become the Sole Survivor in an 8-2-0 result.
 * Sachiko Okada - Survivor: Poland (Deleted)Sachiko okada.png
 * A Japanese-American Club DJ, Sachiko has worked nights, and seems to have got used to it. Despite never treading onto Poland before, she aims to have some fun, and who can deny a castaway's spry determination?
 * Starting on the Czocha tribe, Sachiko played a... rather dangerous, yet strange game, with throwing the challenge and making Damian vote against her supposed ally. Thanks to a blindside, Sacchan was the first eliminated.
 * Sachiko has applied to participate again, this time in Survivor: Hokkaido Island; sporting a new look. The look appeared to have allowed Sacchan to fall under the radar successfully for the time being, and yet orchestrate a key elimination as well. She was in the Final 16 by the time she would be eliminated on Day 211, a massive improvement from Poland, considering there were 101 people vying for the title of Sole Survivor.
 * Returning from Hokkaido, after hearing that the singer and musician Prince has died, Sacchan has recently donned a new look once again to honour the fallen musician. Her new outfit bears a loose resemblance to what Prince wore in Purple Rain, and she has even coloured her hair purple. There are even rumours that she drove a motorbike similar to the film her first night back to work as a Nightclub DJ.
 * In Halloween, Sachiko decided to base this year's costume on a hybrid of Frankenstein and a Jack-O-Lantern with an orange and black pallette for clothing, line markings around her forehead accompanying the black circles around her eyes, and even a brown cowlick portraying the stem (which you unfortunately can't see in the photograph taken).
 * Sachiko returned for the Halloween scene in 2019, dressing up as the Joker, going as far as to cover her face in the identical paint. When she showed up for work as the Nightclub DJ, the crowd were initially shocked, only to applaud her for dressing up what she wanted to be.
 * Graham Cullen - Survivor: HokkaidoGraham cullen.png
 * A 50-Year Old Shop Clerk who has been given pride and bravery from his father - a Vietnam War Veteran, Graham has yet to set foot outside the country world. With Hokkaido Island giving him the opportunity, could he use his notable social skills to possibly pull off the unthinkable?
 * In Hokkaido, Graham initially had a good start aligning with the elder alliance from Day 1, but when Addie tried to motivate her tribe to Immunity victory, Graham would become a jerk against her, especially when Baru Baru lost the challenge. This would be the catalyst for his elimination, being the first of the 99 Red Balloons to pop.
 * Ayre White - Survivor: Hokkaido
 * Hokkaido Ayre.png 38-Year Old Rail Conductor, Ayre may be an experienced woman when it comes to travel, although this is the first time she has made an appearance in Japan. The main obstacle in her way may be her volatile temper; if she can overcome that, then she could become a force to be reckoned with.
 * Ayre managed to remain a strong Kui To tribe member before and after the merge, with only a blindside denying her a spot in the merge.


 * Akiro Yamamoto - Survivor: Hokkaido
 * Akiro okada.png 23-Year Old Metal Guitarist who - for some reason - likes to wear a choker around his neck, Akiro sees himself as a ladies' man, and the envy of men. Potentially, he could use this as an advantage for him to make alliances and overthrow other castaways in the tribe. Overconfidence could become the biggest obstacle for him in the long run, so he has to play cautiously.
 * Akiro would move to the Baru Baru tribe following the swap, proving to endure in the game, until he would inevitably be voted out following a string of losses from the new tribe.


 * Phillip Weaver - Survivor: Hokkaido
 * Phillip weaver.png 58-Year Old Farmer where his family has spawned generations in farming, Phillip is no stranger to the outdoors. He acknowledges that he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he likes to remind everyone that this old dog still has tricks up its sleeve, as he intends to make his family proud.
 * Alongside Grace Moore and Graham Cullen, Phillip aligned with the elder members of Baru Baru, including Sazan 's Elisabeth Cornley, golfer Brenden Julien, and Circus Performers Bubbles and Giggles to form an alliance. With Grace's idol played in the first tribal council, the alliance rallied together to eliminate Harry. Although the alliance would come to an end when Grace would orchestrate the elimination of Brenden, after reaching the swap phase, Phillip would eventually be eliminated, but not before giving vital words of wisdom to the new Baru Baru tribe.
 * Grace moore.png Moore - Survivor: Hokkaido
 * A Woman that has recently reached her seventies, Grace is a former Prison Guard who is enjoying retirement. Despite being perceived as 'old' by some, she acknowledges her weaknesses by taking them in good stride, and only thinks about the positives, hoping to climb at the top of the mountain, against 100 other castaways.
 * Grace was targeted early on in Hokkaido with a whopping 23 votes cast against her. Fortunately, she played the idol, and she was saved for the night, with Harry unfortunately being the fall guy due to receiving the next highest amount of votes. She has managed to guarantee a spot in the merge by being placed in the Vanm Ak tribe following the tribe swaps on Episode 25, and would last up to the final four, where she would be bested in a tie-breaker challenge. After 238 Days, Grace has received a total of 231 Votes throughout the 96 Episodes of Survivor, and has earned the moniker of 'Hokkaido Jesus' following constant escapes with tribal council.
 * Other noted escapes from Elimination include...
 * Episode 2, where Graham would annoy the Baru Baru tribe after losing.
 * Episode 3, when Chelsea caused a fight with Jing Li.
 * Episode 4, where Andrew became a liability.
 * Episode 11, where Grace was the sole target. However, she found the Idol once again, and forced Nick out of the tribe.
 * Episode 12 where Bubbles was targeted after lacking faith in Grace.
 * Episode 13, where Harvey was eliminated for 'lying about having the Idol'.
 * Episode 14, where Rhea was targeted after being stuck in the middle of two alliances.
 * Episode 15, where Brenden was the next fall guy as Grace had been given an Idol from Lena at tribal council.
 * Episode 24, where she went up against Wyat. She was ultimately in the majority block, with 19 Votes against 13 Votes, sending him home.
 * Lilly montgomery (2).png Montgomery - Survivor: Pulau Tiga (Application Pending)
 * A University Student from Rhode Island, Lily intends to surprise with some bold moves to her game and shaking things up when the time is right. Time will tell if she'll get the chance to make it to Borneo...
 * Her initial avatar had her wearing a tan-coloured shirt and a lighter brown blazer, which can be seen here.
 * Thomas Dawn - Survivor: Pulau Tiga (Application Pending)
 * A School Guidance Counsellor from Florida, Thomas has credited his comeback story to his former mentor Phil Cooper. He intends to inspire all of his castaways to victory and become a core provider to the team. Could his trip to Borneo potentially add to his success story?
