In my eyes, two things make a legend. 1. Being a great character and 2. Being a great player. So, I've decided to figure out who the biggest Survivor legend is by taking the two top confessional getters (ties broken by placement) and deciding who played better that episode, giving them a point. Whoever has the most points after I go through every season is the biggest Survivor legend.

Michael Skupin v. Zane Knight
Zane was voted out this episode, so Skupin gets this point.
Ep. 2
Jonathan Penner v. Roxy Morris
Roxy was voted out, so Penner gets this point.
Ep. 3

Russell was voted out this episode, so Malcolm gets this point.
Ep. 5
Malcolm Freberg v. Jonathan Penner
Both had good episodes, but Malcolm ingratiated himself into Tandang really well, so Malcolm gets this point.
