Hello, everyone, this is KLS2097, 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.

Favourite Survivors

 * Russell Hantz (Samoa, Heroes vs. Villains and Redemption Island) - Possibly the best Survivor never to have won the game, Russell knows how to be the Puppet Master of the game, and how to find Idols without clues with ease. He is also known for pulling two of the greatest blindsides in history; the first in Samoa, where he used the Idol to nullify the seven votes against him to get rid of Kelly, 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 Parvati, thus giving Tyson the short straw.
 * Robert Crowley (Gabon) - The oldest Survivor to win (as of 2016) at the age of 57, Bob's incredible Immunity streak run, infamous lookalike idols, and being the only member of the Onion alliance left in the final three makes him a stand-out Sole Survivor and deserved Fan Favourite. He was also a great contributor to his Kota tribe, and got Challenges finished and done right at his own pace. It's people like him, along with Rudy Boesch, Kim Johnson, Michael Skupin, among other great old castaways that show us that 'age is no excuse' when it comes to Survivor.
 * Oscar Lusth (Cook Islands, Micronesia and South Pacific) - One of the most lovable Survivors in history, Ozzy plays the game to his best ability, dominating his game physically, and strategically. He's also a Survivor that knows how to do impulsive things, like revealing the tribe colour of his by crushing the egg on his shirt, to creating a faux Hidden Immunity Idol (which admittedly got him eliminated next).
 * Yul Kwon (Cook Islands) - Another favourite from the controversial Cook Islands, Yul managed to find the Idol and hold onto it throughout the season, through good and bad times for the Aitutaki tribe. He managed to rally Ozzy, Becky and Sundra together to defeat the Rarotonga Eight, making them the true heroes, unlike mutineer Candice Woodcock. The Idol he possessed also allowed him to dominate strategically and give Aitu the key advantage they needed in the merge, convincing Jonathan Penner to betray Raro and vote with the Aitu Four.
 * 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. Marty, however, managed to persevere the best that he could, 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 (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). When he managed to strike a deal with Richard on an alliance, he would make it all the way to the final three, where one of his hands gave himself the final fall from the hurdle. He was unable to replicate his defiant performance in All-Stars, with age and an injury taking its toll on the retired Navy SEAL.
 * Spencer Bledsoe (Cagayan and Cambodia) - One of the smartest players to play Survivor (who could only be bested by 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. Reached the final four in Cagayan, and was a co-finalist alongside Cagayan returnee Tasha in Cambodia, where they both got curb-stomped in the votes.

Least Favourite Survivors

 * J'Tia Taylor (Cagayan) - Without a doubt, arguably the worst-performing Survivor in history. All she ever did for the tribe is screw things up in Challenges for Luzon (such as the Puzzle Challenge, where she spent all the time trying to fit just her second piece of the puzzle (where Solana quickly recovered from the deficit), and another challenge where she threw one of the balls away from her tribe (when Aparri was supposedly planning to throw a challenge), and even dump out the rice. How she was not the first voted out in Cagayan is a complete mystery to me.


 * Francesca Hogi (Redemption Island and Caramoan) - Given that she was in both seasons, she unfortunately went out in just three days. It just goes to show that Survivor is absolutely not the game for her, Period.
 * NaOnka Mixon (Nicaragua) - The most volatile woman that I've ever seen play the game, NaOnka may be a strong competitor, but she has done some terrible decisions in the game, the most infamous one being that she decided to quit with just 12 days left (with Kelly Shinn doing the same thing), where she was influenced by the rain. Even if she decided to quit much earlier, she still wouldn't be given a pass on this list because she was extremely abrasive to the point that it should've worked against her.
 * Colton Cumbie (One World and Blood vs. Water) - A loathed man throughout the two seasons he participated in, Colton only caused havoc and kept proving he was a burden more than a benefit. Also, despite the fact that Colton was never voted out in both seasons, it did not translate well from his performance; in One World, he caught appendicitis, to which Jeff accused that he was faking, whilst the second was in Blood vs. Water, he wanted to quit after Candice Woodcock expletively yelled at Brad Culpepper.
 * Ralph Kiser (Redemption Island) - A man who thinks he's like Russell, but actually not, Ralph is one of the key people responsible for the annihilation of Zapatera's streak and momentum, and the self-destruction of the tribe. Also, throwing a challenge just to vote out one of my favourite Survivors is a huge detriment, not just to me, but to the whole tribe.
 * Candice Woodcock (Cook Islands, Heroes vs. Villains and Blood vs. Water) - Seen in the eyes of the producers as a 'hero', despite deciding to mutiny back to her own tribe. Was there anything that she had done that was considered to be heroic in Cook Islands at all? The only saving grace for Candice is that she was rightfully pissed off at Brad Culpepper, due to her husband John Cody being voted out in the Galang tribe.
 * Gervase Peterson (Borneo and Blood vs. Water) - Initially a decent player going by Borneo alone, Gervase can be an abrasive and relatively unlikable person in the long run. Even if he is one of the key players in an alliance, he still liked to bring people down, one of which by making Ciera Eastin the 'Number Four' of his alliance.

Submitted Survivors

 * Dominique Swann - Survivor: Sazan
 * 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'.
 * As of December 25, 2015, Dominique remains on the Ora tribe.


 * Gordon Wilson - Survivor: Sazan
 * 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'.
 * In Sazan, he has been given the role of Tribe Leader in the Ora tribe.


 * Brandon Stromquist - Survivor: Sazan
 * Tina Patel.png man who likes to live his life like Patrick Bateman, Brandon lives up to the similarities, showing a ruthless aggression off the field. He intends to make it to the top of the mountain at all costs, regardless of how dirty he plays, even if he does so during a Challenge.
 * As of December 25, 2015, Brandon remains on the Ora tribe.
 * Kim Mi-Na - Survivor: Sazan
 * A freelance photographer who isn't afraid to show her claws, Kim has caught people at their worst, fearless of the consequences. The main reason why she decided to participate for Survivor, is, not just because of the hopes of causing chaos, but to also make herself more financially secure.
 * As of December 25, 2015, Kim remains on the Ishull tribe.


 * Tina Patel - Survivor: South Africa
 * A university student, very little is known about Tina, for now.
 * Milton Baxter - Survivor: Cape Verde
 * A news reporter who has endured the toughest news he had ever reported, Milton appears to be a cat with many lives, and wants to give this chance to the best of his capabilities. He aims to prove that 'this old dog still has some new tricks'. Unfortunately, because he wasn't picked, he will not get the chance to do so.


 * Christine Smith - Survivor: Cape Verde and Survivor: Brunei
 * A karate instructor that isn't afraid of muggers, Christine (or Chaka, as she is sometimes known) could be a hybrid player; wanting to be a dominant force, while getting along with other castaways at the same time. While she, too, did not get the chance to compete in Cape Verde, alongside Milton, she has currently applied for Survivor: Brunei.
