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.

Favourite Survivors

 * Russell Hantz (Samoa, Heroes vs. Villains and Redemption Island) - 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 clearly 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 of the greatest blindsides in history; the first in Samoa, where he used the Idol to nullify the seven votes against him to blindside Galu's Kelly (which was arguably 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 three series of Survivor, 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 of them 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) - The oldest Survivor to win (as of 2016) at the age of 57, 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, Michael Skupin and - most recently - Joseph del Campo, among other great ageless 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 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.

Least Favourite Survivors

 * J'Tia Taylor (Cagayan) - Without a doubt, arguably the worst-performing Survivor in history, and I have the video to prove it. All she ever did for the tribe was 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 would quickly recover from the supposedly insurmountable deficit), and another challenge where she threw one of the balls away from her tribe (when Aparri was supposedly planning to throw a challenge, of all things), and even dump out the tribe's rice despite being in a reasonable spot in an alliance on the Luzon tribe. 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 unfortunately meaning that she didn't showcase a lot of potential. Unlucky for some, unlucky for her...
 * NaOnka Mixon (Nicaragua) - The most volatile woman that I've ever seen attempting to 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 "Purple" Kelly Shinn doing the same thing that night albeit for a different reason, despite Holly's insistence on not to), 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 rightfully-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 yelled expletives targeted at Brad Culpepper; not even his late fiancee could help him stay. When he attempts to play the role of a villain, he puts the likes of Richard Hatch, Parvati Shallow and Russell Hantz to shame for all the wrong reasons.
 * Ralph Kiser (Redemption Island) - A man who thinks he's like Russell, but actually not (despite finding an Idol), Ralph is one of the majority key people responsible for the annihilation of Zapatera's streak and momentum, and the eventual 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?
 * 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 does a good strategy. 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. This, among other things, ultimately gave him zero votes at the final tribal council.
 * Steve Morris (China) - Known as 'Chicken' on the account of being a farmer, his silence, the fact that he became a social outcast in the game and, despite being the eldest, refused to help his tribe out when it counted in the three days. At least we'll always have this to remember him by...

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.
 * Dominique, alongside Gordon Wilson, has recently 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
 * 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, leading his tribe to Immunity victory in Episode 1.
 * Gordon, alongside Dominique Swann, has recently 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 Vote.


 * Tina patel II.pngon Stromquist - Survivor: Sazan
 * A 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.
 * Brandon was placed on the Ora tribe, and appeared to be safe right up until Episode 2, where the Purple Rock tie breaker ultimately forced him home, with the tribe being deadlocked.
 * 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.
 * Kim was placed on the Ishull tribe, and she would ultimately clash heads with a loudmouth personality in Stephanie Guia. It came to a head in Episode 3, where Kim would appear to play a Hidden Immunity Idol. The problem was, it was a fake carved by Stephanie, and Kim unfortunately went home in a near-unanimous vote.


 * Tina Patel - Survivor: Zimbabwe
 * A former university student turned cinematographer, Tina has endured high school bullying just over her disability to be given a chance to perform in the game. After a long wait, will Tina be given a chance to play?
 * 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.
 * Sachiko Okada - Survivor: PolandSachiko 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 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.
 * 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.
 * Kokoro futaba.pngo Futaba - Survivor: Bay Islands (Anarchy)
 * A dancer that likes to perform with all her heart, Kokoro has signed on for the Bay Islands to get off on the right foot with many castaways, so that she can get on their good sides. Aiming to play as her own 'Survivor', she plans to live up to her name.
 * Kokoro was initially not chosen in the list of ten in the Bay Islands, but with all applications accepted, it means that this heart will try with all its might.
 * Mark nelson.png Nelson - Survivor: Bay Islands (Anarchy)
 * A current NFL Free Agent wanting to prove that he still has plenty of years left, Mark has signed on for the Bay Islands to show that he is a force to be reckoned with. While smarks and critics say that his days are done, he aims to prove them wrong.
 * Mark Nelson was selected among the other castaways in the list of ten in the Bay Islands.
 * James Logan - Survivor: Vietnam
 * A Professional Wrestler that was inspired by 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair, James intends to give the fans what they would want to see, and give it his all regardless how he performs in the end. Accepted in Vietnam, James will be lacing his boots up for the rough conditions ahead.James logan.png
