Sandra played a great game in PI. She was able to get into the majority early on, and get herself into what was probably THE most powerful position of the game, up until day 27, when Rupert got voted out. After that, she never became a target because of her "as long as it ain't me" strategy, and was able to shift alliances as much as she needed to keep herself safe, while making moves to advance herself when she thought it was necessary (for example: Burton's vote-off at the final 5).
Tina Wesson (Survivor: The Australian Outback)
Tina was able to haze the entire cast of The Australian Outback with her "good people" mantra, and wrap them all around her fingers. After convincing Colby to flip on Mitchell, she took down Jerri's alliance and ran the rest of the game, getting herself into a power position that never ever wavered. In short, she basically turned The Outback into her own little cult for 42 days.
Natalie White (Survivor: Samoa)
Controversy, controversy... oh boy. Natalie is here because she had a perfect strategy for her season, and it worked like a charm. She latched onto a player that she knew would make enemies, but help her through the game regardless, that person being Russell. Russell went through Samoa like a bull in a china shop, while Natalie sat back and made friends. Obviously, she won handily in the FTC. Natalie was also the one who set the breakdown of Galu into motion, by convincing them to flip on Erik. Without that move, the Foa Foa tribe likely would've been picked off. So, yeah, Natalie wasn't the largest presence in Samoa, but if you read between the lines, her strategy was strong for the season, and her social game was absolutely incredible, and that is ultimately why she made it to the end and won the game.
Danni Boatwright (Survivor: Guatemala)
Danni is incredibly underrated, like Natalie, because she purposefully held information from the producers, which is probably why she does not get as much credit as she should. Danni is another example of a winner who had a simple strategy, that worked like a charm and got her to the million dollars. Honestly, Danni was probably the winner that played a game with ZERO flaws whatsoever. She got herself to the merge by keeping her head down and making enough connections to survive, and purposefully surrounded herself with larger targets so that she would not be considered threatening at the merge. At the merge, she infiltrated the majority alliance by cultivating more relationships, particularly with Rafe, and that got her to the end of the game, where she took Stephanie to the final 2 for an easy win. Simple strategy, but it worked perfectly and allowed her to win the million bucks.
Kim Spradlin (Survivor: One World)
Does this even need to be explained? Kim single-handedly ran One World. The only argument I can see ANYONE making against Kim is that she played with a weaker cast, but I always dismiss that argument, because you can't control what cast you are a part of, only how you play with the people in that cast. Kim ran One World and was unopposed the entire time. You can say that about some other winners too, like Boston Rob, but the difference between them was that Boston Rob only won the game on his FOURTH try, and at that point he had an exponential advantage over everyone else, because after playing Survivor multiple times, you know how you'll act when you're starving, tired, and facing the elements. Kim didn't have the advantage of being a returning player, and yet she played JUST as dominant of a game on her FIRST TRY. That's insane.
These are the only winners that I found had pretty much no flaws at all in their games.
Kudos to you if you bothered to read all of that :P.
The only one that deserves a spot is Kim.
Granted this is a personal preference list, IMO these are all dull winners anyway, especially Danni.
If you want players who had no flaws in their game, look at JT. Or Tom.
sandra yes
tina yes
danni and natalie were both underserving and won due to the fact the jury was bitter.
