Who was the Most Valuable Character of Survivor: David vs. Goliath? I decided to go episode by episode, and out of the top 2 confessional getters for the episode, I picked whoever I thought deserved the game ball for making the best TV.
Episode 1
Nick (0) vs. Mike (0) vs. Christian (0) vs. Gabby (0) vs. Dan (0)
Nick is a big contender here but I have to give it to Christian, we got to see him win the opening challenge and he had some good confessionals.
Episode 2
Christian (1) vs. Natalie (0)
Christian had some good moments here, where he aligned with Nick and was a swing vote at tribal council, but this was really the start of Napalm Natalie, so I'm giving her the point.
Episode 3
Nick (0) vs. Mike (0) vs. Bi (0) vs. Jeremy (0)
I think Jeremy was the best character here, his paranoia was fun to watch.
Episode 4
Alec (0) vs. Mike (0) vs. Davie (0) vs. Christian (1) vs. Carl (0) vs. Elizabeth (0)
Alec flipping and sending Natalia out earns him this point.
Episode 5
Angelina (0) vs. Kara (0)
No question, this was the jacket episode, Angelina gets this point.
Episode 6
Mike (0) vs. Lyrsa (0)
Mike's reaction to Angelina's plot to get Natalie's jacket gets him this point.
Episode 7
Alec (1) vs. Dan (0)
Alec gets this point for attempting to form that cross-tribal alliance.
Episode 8
Nick (0) vs. Angelina (1)
Angelina was great this episode, but Nick's minority split vote plan earns him this point.
Episode 9
Kara (0) vs. Alison (0)
Kara gets this point for doing a turn on her early "showmance" Dan. (Although I'm not sure that that was ever really a thing.)
Episode 10
Nick (1) vs. Christian (1) vs. Alec (2)
Christian gets this point for that immunity challenge.
Episode 11
Mike (1) vs. Angelina (1) vs. Kara (1)
Angelina sacrificing her shot at immunity for the rice, although I don't think it was mentioned afterwards, was a great moment.
Episode 12
Nick (1) vs. Gabby (0)
Gabby gets this point for attempting to blindside her closest ally.
Episode 13
Mike (1) vs. Davie (0)
Davie gets this point for trying to flip on Nick, as well as his moment where he asked God to help him decide what to do when it came to wagering his vote.
Episode 14
Mike (1) vs. Angelina (2)
No doubt about it, from the ladder to the fake idol plan, this finale was dominated by Angelina, character-wise.
1 GAME BALL - Davie Rickenbacker, Gabby Pascuzzi, Kara Kay, Nick Wilson, Mike White, Jeremy Crawford, Natalie Cole
