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.
