Bryan’s Rankings of Every Survivor Player
As I’ve been mentioning for weeks now, I’ve compiled the most comprehensive ranking of every player who’s ever played Survivor. This is not a subjective list of most popular, best player, cutest, or dirtiest player, this is an objective list of how well everyone has played the game. If you win a challenge, you get points, if you sit out a challenge, you get none. I’ve reviewed every episode going all the way back to season 1, so there should be no controversy over earlier players or more recent players having an advantage. Thankfully, the game of Survivor has remained virtually the same, aside from a few tweaks here and there. We’ve seen Exile Island, Redemption Island/Arena, and hidden idols, where none existed earlier, but it’s still come down to: win challenges, make alliances, survive at Tribal, get to Final Tribal. Without any further ado, I present to you the definitive list of every player (through season 27) to have played Survivor…

#1 – 215 pts. – “ Boston ” Rob Mariano – Marquesas, All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains, Redemption Island
Could it be anyone other than Boston Rob?
In Marquesas he was a child, but you could see the promise of something more. His first big impact on the game was when he cuddled up to Sarah (“Cleopatra” on the raft) for some after hours “Intel.” Obviously, his BR Rules were still being fine-tuned as he went out 7th, but you could surmise Rob was a big reason why future couples were always targeted (hey, why should they have all the fun while we’re competing and starving over here!).
He came back with a vengeance in All-Stars and formed a new alliance with Amber, protecting her by any means necessary (just ask Lex). And while everything played out almost as he had planned, he ended up winning Amber’s heart but not the game. Heroes vs. Villains brought Rob back for a 3rd time, and by steering the Villains tribe through rough waters for the first 2 weeks of the game, Tyson’s dunderheaded error spelled doom for Rob’s alliance, which led to his departure the following week.
Finally, on Redemption Island , everything came together for Rob. His biggest threat, arch-enemy Russell, was excused from the game in week 2 due to his reputation “finally preceding him.” Rob then merely had to steer clear of a number of threats, Kristina, Matt, Grant, Mike Chiesl, Andrea, all the while playing his inner alliance of Natalie and Phillip like a skilled marionette. While it may have appeared that Rob led his flock peacefully through the desert like Moses, the amount of juggling, deception, lies and promises he made (each week) was impressive. There was no other option than to vote Rob the winner, thus realizing his dream of being the Sole Survivor.
There has never been a contestant who’s truly experienced every facet of the game. He’s been a non-entity, a schemer, lothario, gentleman, warrior, cruciverbalist, athlete, liar, and ally. He’s mastered the art of forming an alliance and blindsiding the unsuspecting. And while his actions may have been disgusting to many players and viewers, he always seemed to do it in the context of playing “a game,” and he was always able to come out smelling like a rose. A true Bostonian, he now wears other hats: first and foremost a husband and daddy, so it looks like he still knows how to build a strong tribe.
Within the confines of the game, Rob has done more than anyone else (playing 4 times allows for these kind of statistics): 117 days played (#1), Individual Immunity (#1), Tribal Immunity (#1), Tribal Reward Challenges (#3). The fact that he’s 21 points better than Ozzy is proof that he’s a dominant force. He clearly deserves this distinction and wrote a book to show everyone just how much he knows. And while I think every season is an isolated experiment, there is no one who wouldn’t want to hear what Boston Rob has to say about playing the game. If there’s one person who could take Jeff’s place – if he every wanted to play the game, for instance? – it would be Rob. A true “hero” on a show that temporarily creates villains…
#2 – 194 pts. – Oscar “Ozzy” Lusth – Cook Islands, Micronesia , South Pacific
The only things missing from his resume are winning the game and playing against the likes of Boston Rob, Colby, Russell and Malcolm. Not that he didn’t play against some of the biggest names in the game, but it would have been great to see some of those other matchups. Ozzy came into the game with a “surfer boy” swagger that could only be learned on the waves. He could swim, climb, run and woo women simultaneously, as well as work a puzzle faster than anyone before. Ozzy set the bar for mastering puzzle challenges, fishing, collecting coconuts, or sidling up to a pretty girl. And while Boston Rob and Amber get most of the attention for couples formed on Survivor, Ozzy and Amanda were a real “power couple,” for a while at least…
Notorious for what he brought into the game: an appearance on a Playboy series where he essentially did soft-core porn, that little-known fact was never mentioned on the show. So as viewers we were left wondering if that was sex wax in his pocket, or something…larger… I guess they run a clean ship at Survivor because we never heard about any of this. However, dirty laundry is never too far away in reality television, and Ozzy distanced himself from those debaucherous times…
His performances in challenges were almost Olympian in nature. His mere participation in some made players shake in their boots. And how many other players either A) declared himself a “free agent,” or B) volunteered to go to Redemption Island , fully expecting to re-enter the game?! His time on Redemption Island , rather than a prison sentence, was a holiday. A respite from the game where Ozzy could recharge his batteries, reinvigorate, and renew his hunger to win. Ozzy was truly a lone wolf who played by his own rules and creed. His style of play may not have won him the million, but he was awarded the Fan Favorite award, with the highest percentage of votes ever. Ozzy is a god…
The celebrity he earned on the show is clear by his dalliances he had with Lindsey Lohan and others, but Ozzy is more at home on an island in the South Pacific than a nightclub in Hollywood . He’ll always be a Survivor, and if his soul was a bit more dastardly, he may have fared better in the game. I think Ozzy is the kind of player that many viewers look up to, or would like to spend some time on the beach with… I’d say a lot of dads would like their daughters to end up with a guy like Ozzy, but probably for a different reason than the daughters want…
#3 – 185 pts. – Parvati Shallow – Cook Islands, Micronesia , Heroes vs. Villains
If anyone could claim the title “Queen of Survivor,” it would be Parv. But rather than a crown made of gold and diamonds, it would probably be forged out of rusty metal and shards of broken glass (and a few diamonds…). Parvati may not only be the most successful female in the history of the game (Sandra Diaz-Twine notwithstanding) her toughness – both in challenges and in alliances – were always her calling card. 3 seasons deep has Parvati graced the shores, and on each did she either spin her web, or canoodle (Survivor’s first ménage a trois?), or blindside her way through the game. She’s played with some of the game’s most dominant forces: Boston Rob, Ozzy, Penner, Tyson, Coach, Jerri, and Colby. And was aligned with many others: Russell, James, Amanda, the Black Widows…
Her statistics are unquestionably deep: 114 days played (2nd all-time), tied for 1st in Tribal Reward challenges (with Amanda and Eliza), and then there’s that dominance in challenges. She even got to play some hidden immunity idols, even though SHE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TO FIND THEM… They were simply… given…to her by loyal subjects…
Her history in the game has been defined by 3 distinct roles: sexual kitten, diabolical villainess, challenge monster. I think people forget that despite all those flirtatious smiles, winks and booty shots, Parvati was a female boxer who wasn’t afraid to mix it up with anyone. Climb into bed with Russell? Sure thing. She knew what she needed to do to advance in the game and aligning with the biggest villain was just the next thing she needed to do to move ahead. If you check the scoreboard, she made it to the jury of that season too.
However her genius was displayed best in Micronesia , where Parvati and her “Black Widow Alliance” were able to steamroll through all of the Fans and most of the Favorites. In the end, Parvati defeated Amanda, claiming her birthright…
Post-show, Parvati has parlayed her success into a variety of pursuits, most notably hosting the After Show, where she is more than qualified to offer opinions to the departed. Her insight into the inner workings of the tribes, challenges, and production are an interesting dish, and her social awareness is always fine-tuned, which gives us superfans an agent “on the inside.” If the reports are true, she’s done playing the game, but her legacy will live on as the one that any future vamp can be inspired to be like…
#4 – 173 pts. – Amanda Kimmel – China , Micronesia , Heroes vs. Villains
Now we’re talking. Simply put, my favorite female Survivor of all time. Not only was she beautiful, she did incredibly well in challenges and did it all with one of the sweetest smiles this show has ever seen. Her success in back-to-back seasons is one of the reasons I tuned in every week, as it gave me someone to root for each week. And while she may not have provided the best jury responses, that innocence was just another quality that was endearing (to me).
This former beauty queen from Montana made her splash in China playing along with James and a lot of nobodies. Her defining moment, in my view, is when she flashed her tits in the giant ball challenge (…maybe she did some other stuff, but I was good after the tits thing). She came back to play in Micronesia not knowing if she’d won the previous season, which is peculiar. Amanda was always able to align with the right people (Parvati and Cirie) but did the most damage being part of the “Black Widow” alliance. Her challenge wins always seemed to come at the right time, as she and Parvati eliminated Cirie in what would ultimately be Parvati’s season.
Coming back a third time in Heroes vs. Villains, Amanda seemed to get embroiled in one controversy after another. First there was “banana etiquette,” then it was discovering J.T. had found an idol, then the infamous wrestling match with Danielle over the clue she found in the popcorn (I’m still waiting for a Jell-O pudding wrestling match to solve that one…). But after all the scrambling, and all the drama, she was finally let go, serving on the jury and helping Sandra win her 2nd title.
She’s played the 3rd most days in Survivor history (108) and should be considered one of the most successful women who never won the show. America (or maybe it was just us Survivor fans) “ooh-ed and ahh-ed” at the relationship that blossomed between her and Ozzy in Micronesia . And it didn’t feel contrived at all, since it took place within the confines of Final Tribal, and not in front of a live studio audience. I was disappointed to hear they weren’t a couple anymore (or was I…?) and I wish she was still connected to the show somehow. Would love to see her sweet face and disposition somewhere in the Survivorverse…
#5 – 159 pts. – Colby Donaldson – Australian Outback, All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains
The first true “hero” of the show who was later named the “Sexiest Survivor Male.” Colby has definitely had his share of ups and downs on the show. His heroic Immunity Challenge showing in Australia (5-in-a-row (a record) and 7 total) contrasted by his incredibly naïve decision to take Tina to the final instead of Keith (which would, in essence, have guaranteed him a win). Which unfortunately earned him the dubious distinction of “one of the dumbest moves in Survivor history” (although that label may be placed on someone else now, huh, Woo?). Sure, his second and third seasons paled in comparison to the dominance he showed in Australia , but he always remained a gentleman and stayed true to his Texan roots. Okay, that night in the car with his mom was a little weird, but we’ll cut him some slack since he’s friggin’ COLBY! Honestly, I was amazed that after playing such a dominant game those fools in Australia didn’t award him Sole Survivor. Total bulls**t…
#6 – 154 pts. – Rupert Boneham – Pearl Islands , All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains, Blood vs. Water
One of two 4-time players (Boston Rob being the other), and probably THE most-liked player in Survivor history. You could even call him “Sole Survivor adjacent” since he won a million bucks as a Fan Favorite. He’s a man (arggh, no a pirate..) who either established or matched many “firsts/records” on the show: 1st player from Indiana, 1st to be part of 3 juries, most tribal affiliations, most consecutive days without attending tribal (21), 1st to be kidnapped, only player to vote for the same winner twice (Sandra), only player voted out 4 times… And had he played a while longer on Blood vs. Water, Rupert may have ranked 2nd all-time in this list. His crazy antics, scruffy beard and tie-dye may rub some people the wrong way (me, particularly!), but there’s no debating Rupert is a good man with a good heart. His love for his wife is undeniable, and the work he’s done via Rupert’s Kids is quite impressive. And had he finished better in the 2012 Indiana gubernatorial race, we might have been calling him “The Honorable Mr. Boneham,” but alas…4% is a long way from a majority. Regardless, he found his calling elsewhere (on Survivor)…
#7 – 149 pts. – Tyson Apostol – Tocantins , Heroes vs. Villains, Blood vs. Water
Loveable, laughable, and always willing to toss around the sarcasm, Tyson made his mark on both ends of the Survivor spectrum: jokester, nudist, the 2nd most Individual challenges won (behind Boston Rob), patsy (outsmarted by Russell and voted himself out), but ultimately…Sole Survivor. Tyson’s smartass mouth was fun to watch at times, but also a curse when it came across as arrogance (in his comment to Katie). However, his ability to steamroll through Blood vs. Water by controlling every episode after the merge earned him the near sweep at Final Tribal (only Vytas’s vote for Monica spoiled that). Regardless of any shortcomings, Tyson remains one of the most outlandish and jovial winners in Survivor history. Does the guy have a bad day?
#8 – 147 pts. – Russell Hantz – Samoa, Heroes vs. Villains, Redemption Island
The man who reinvented the role of “Villain” on Survivor and perhaps all of reality television. While his approach to the game may be diabolically genius, it failed to realize the one simple fact: it’s a game AWARDED TO YOU by others. That notion either escaped Russell, or he never cared about winning in the first place, as he bulldozed his way to Final Tribal in back-to-back seasons. True, he benefitted from players in Heroes vs. Villains not knowing who he was, but that can be said about players every season. His accomplishments? All he did was find more hidden idols than any other contestant; but he also bullied, made chauvinistic comments, and then proclaimed himself the “best player ever.” We’ll see if Season 30 invites him back to rewrite his legacy, as legal issues, familial feuds and “spoiler” controversies rewrite it for him…
#9 – 143 pts. – Benjamin “Coach” Wade – Tocantins , Heroes vs. Villains, South Pacific
I’ve always considered Coach a polarizing player – you either love him or hate him. His mythological persona, extraordinary adventure stories and tattooed physique were either inviting or off-putting to players on his seasons. He participated in many key alliances and found himself in more than one leadership role, which is always an admirable quality on Survivor. This came natural to the soccer coach/maestro/self-proclaimed “dragon-slayer,” but just don’t call him Benjamin. 96 total days played yet he never won an individual Reward Challenge post-merge. Was he ever really dominant? Despite his idiosyncrasies, I congratulate him on his newest undertaking…daddy…and expect to see him again someday.
#10 – 125 pts. – Jerri Manthey – Australian Outback, All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains
Considered the first real villainess on Survivor who staked that claim all the way back in 2000. She effectively set the mold for any woman who chose to play the “evil bitch” card in subsequent seasons (Parvati, Corinne, Eliza, Ami, etc…) and you could say that all of them owe Ms. Manthey a debt of gratitude. And you can’t tell me that Omarosa didn’t benefit from Jerri’s legacy when she appeared on another Mark Burnett show (The Apprentice) in 2004. Statistically, she played 89 days in 3 seasons, and though she was never a challenge monster, she did play a big part in many alliances and blindsides. Flirting with Colby, butting heads with Keith and Rupert, the proverbial “black widow” in Heroes vs. Villains, Jerri has worn many hats… maybe she should have worn a crown…? And, yes, she was the first to give us a pictorial in Playboy. Y’all saw that, right?
#11 – 124 pts. – Jonathan Penner – Cook Islands, Micronesia , Philippines
Penner is one of my favorite players in Survivor history because he was eloquent, boisterous, witty, and never at a loss for words. If there’s one thing we don’t need in Survivor, it’s another boring contestant. He’s won more tribal Reward Challenges (over 3 seasons) than ANY OTHER PLAYER (15) and tied for 6th in Tribal Immunities won (11). And obviously, if he hadn’t been medically evac-ed in Micronesia , he would have moved up a few notches. Outside the game, he’s an actor and writer/producer who was nominated for an Academy Award (which I think is very cool), who’s always sounded like Alan Alda to me (a favorite of mine). And no, he did not receive any extra points for performing nude on stage…
#12 – 119 pts. – Malcolm Freberg – Philippines , Caramoan
One of the most popular players in Survivor history, Malcolm inherited the Mowgli/Huck Finn persona started by Ozzy. His laid-back demeanor, physical strengths, and Ivy League education helped him advance in both seasons he played. A challenge beast who was equally able to find hidden immunity idols (2nd most behind Russell H.); alas, his “jazz hands” led to his demise in what seems his best shot at a final tribal. Who knows how the vote would have gone if Malcolm was pitted against Denise, Skupin and/or Lisa? A true Fan Favorite, he was rewarded with $100,000 even though he finished 9th in Caramoan. That’s impressive. Let’s hope Season 30 beckons…
#13 (tie) – 118 pts. – Erik Reichenbach – Micronesia , Caramoan
Infamous for making one of the worst moves in Survivor history (if you don’t know what it was, you’re not a fan of the show), he effectively redeemed himself in Caramoan by reaching the final 5. Alas, his body shut down after Brenda got stabbed in the back and had to observe from the jury as one of the least potent final tribal councils unfolded. He appeared to be “shamed” by the show for his earlier mistake when Sherri “sat him down,” but that evidently didn’t go down as shown. He was further disrespected – with some others – at the Caramoan Reunion show where they were relegated to the audience instead of on stage, a huge slap-in-the-face to both contestants and fans of the show. Erik deserved more than that for providing a “nice guy” storyline on a reality show that was getting a little more evil…
#13 (tie) – 118 pts. – Sandra Diaz-Twine – Pearl Islands , Heroes vs. Villains
Sandra is the show’s only 2-time winner who could end up being the ONLY 2-time winner. Having played the maximum 78 days in 2 seasons, yet never won an individual Reward or Immunity Challenge! Is that indicative of the best player of all time (as “some” have claimed) or just a lucky castaway? Labeled a Villain because of her sassy attitude, but it was her adaptability and penchant for deflecting votes which led to her success. A member of the Survivor Hall-of-Fame who’s apparently satisfied staying out of the spotlight.
#13 (tie) – 118 pts. – John Cochran – South Pacific, Caramoan
His embarrassing performance in South Pacific could only be erased by winning Caramoan. With his protestations about being referred to by last name only, he miraculously combined improbable success at challenges with the breakdown of integrity by the other players. He won Caramoan by tossing a “perfect game,” but in my view he was just the one who stood atop the pile of excrement. I thought the 6 players who finished outside the Top 3 were all more deserving, but that’s why it’s called a game. Regardless, Cochran is well-loved by fans and the show and will remain one of its favorites…

Fish out…
Thanks for a great season of recaps Bryan. I agree about Woo, he def. gave it away. When I was watching it, I felt like he was being honorable etc., but by the next day, I started feeling like he really should have taken Kass. In the entire game, he voted out people to get himself to the end. Then, we he won the power to decide his fate, and he’d won that honorably in the challenge, he then picked the wrong person. Tony did deserve to win over Kass and Woo, and maybe even Spencer too. It was a great season. I agree about the fan favorite. I think a lot of people are bummed they don’t do that anymore. And yeah, what’s with such a limited amount of updates from the players. Nothing on the fight with Kass/Trish or Lindsay/Trish. Nothing else about why Lindsay quit? We get to see more of Morgan’s boobs, I mean odious personality. ‘m sorry guys, she’s NOT that pretty. And yuck, thanks Jeff (not!) for the quick check on XXX. She really looks like a bird-sort of reminds me of the road runner cartoon’s face….I And man, what a dud LJ has turned out to be. Does that guy even have a pulse? He seems like a zombie. And why was Kass always called a goat? Is that some new reference I don’t know about? Why not a sheep? I’m not that thrilled for Blood Vs Water II. I didn’t find it that great the 1st time but I’ll stay hopeful. As for the rest of the summer….are you a Big Brother Fan? I hope its a better season this year. At least we have 24 to get us through the summer.
Great wrap up and I totally agree with your Survivor Greats ratings.
What Kass said to her husband about everyone views her as a bitch because she’s a woman and would consider her tough if she was a guy, totally bugs. It’s an excuse that women use and sometimes I agree with. If any guy acted like Kass did this season, they would totally be called a tool and not tough.
Thank you both for all the comments all season. You’re two of my favorites! Here are a few random thoughts…
My take on Woo hasn’t changed. I do find it an incredibly honorable thing to do, but this is a game. And when you come onto it, you (should) do so with the mentality of “whatever it takes to win.” The “whatever” part may adjust through the course of the season, but the “to win” part should be constant. It’s too much of a slap in the face to everyone else who would love to be there to throw it away on doing what’s “honorable”…
I’ve always contended it was a GOOD season. I guess what I’m looking for to categorize a season GREAT is that we have great challenges, personalities and competitions, and not so much drama, blindsides, jerks, bitches, and fighting. I like reality COMPETITIONS, not reality tv. Just my preference…
Yeah, I get you about Morgan. She’s not THAT pretty, it’s just those boobs are so overwhelming. It’s just a guy thing (some guys wouldn’t agree)… It’s not like she has a supermodel body either, but those boobs…
Yeah. J’XXX is so YUCK! I don’t get ANYTHING about that psycho. Go away forever!
I think the goat reference is simply because she set herself up as the reason for so many failures (by other people). IDK…
LJ looks like he got rejected by all the women at Ponderosa and he’s been cuckolded…
I think B vs. W was great the first time around because it introduced emotions every week. Not drama, real emotions.
Never watched BB. Won’t start now. Even if they put Russell on it!
Yes, I get watch you’re saying about Kass. She was just looking for a justification for all her actions but she should have just owned that she tried to play a certain way and it didn’t work out…unless she was just trying to come in second and maximize her winnings. Could be…
Thanks, girls! Enjoy the summer!
