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.
Ep. 1
Carolyn Rivera v. Jenn Brown
Carolyn was able to save herself and target So, so Carolyn gets the point.
Ep. 2
Will Sims II v. Vince Sly
Vince was voted out this episode, so Will gets the point.
Ep. 3
Rodney Lavoie, Jr. v. Jenn Brown
Rodney got into fights with his tribe while Jenn voted correctly, so Jenn gets the point.
Ep. 4
Rodney Lavoie, Jr. v. Jenn Brown
Rodney was targeted for his problematic behavior, while Jenn found an idol, so Jenn gets the point.
Ep. 5
Mike Holloway v. Max Dawson
Max was voted out this episode, so Mike gets the point.
Ep. 6
Rodney Lavoie, Jr. v. Shirin Oskooi
Rodney was blindsided by the vote, so Shirin gets the point.
Ep. 7
Mike Holloway v. Rodney Lavoie, Jr.
Both voted incorrectly but I feel as though Rodney set himself up better here, so Rodney gets the point.
Ep. 8
Mike Holloway v. Rodney Lavoie, Jr.
Mike got a target painted on his back for after the minority alliance is decimated, so Rodney gets the point.
Ep. 9
Shirin Oskooi v. Joe Anglim
Joe was voted out this episode, so Shirin gets the point.
Ep. 10
Mike Holloway v. Will Sims II
Both played poorly this episode, but ultimately I think that Will berating Shirin was worse for his win equity than Mike's move at the auction, so Mike gets the point.
Ep. 11
Dan Foley v. Tyler Fredrickson
Both received votes, but ultimately if Mike played his idol I think that Dan would have left, so Tyler gets the point.
Ep. 12
Carolyn Rivera v. Tyler Fredrickson
Tyler was voted out this episode, so Carolyn gets the point.
Ep. 13
Mike Holloway v. Carolyn Rivera
Carolyn had a successful idol play, so Carolyn gets the point.
Ep. 14
Mike Holloway v. Carolyn Rivera
Mike won the game this episode, so Mike gets the point.
SEASON TOTALS
Mike Holloway - 3 points
Carolyn Rivera - 3 points
Rodney Lavoie, Jr. - 2 points
Shirin Oskooi - 2 points
Jenn Brown - 2 points
Will Sims II - 1 point
Tyler Fredrickson - 1 point
