this is one of my pre survivor 50 content which will cover different topics over a while one i’ve wanted to write for a while is players who are considered heroes or villians by the fan base or production but i don’t agree with.
borneo – n/a really the only villians from this season i don’t disagree with although the vieew of jenna has changed over time by the fanbase.
australian outback – got a lot i’ve said strategically jerri was not a villian in australian outback which is my main criteria on the other hand tina and colby i don’t consider heroes at all strategically especially the former (Colby atleast didn’t betray amber) in this season by the betrayal of jerri too early. elizabeth i don’t consider a hero in the same way but its more a dumb strategical player.
africa – tbird is not a hero for the main lie of the season covering up her vote for lex (the main villian) while she had good intentions its very questionable in itself.
marquesas – there really is nothing to cover but kathy comes off as a villian in all-stars.
thailand – again a tricky one as most aren’t covered i will put penny as an underrated villian and ted is one of the worse and should have been disqualified. i think ken is the closest to a hero.
amazon – i don”t consider jenna a villian at all as i base it off game play.
pearl islands – lil is not a hero nor is sandra in fact darah is maybe the last hero who made a long run.
all stars – colby already covered. i will question where big tom stands but i don’t know exactly. shii ann is more heroic this time.
vanautu – ami is a villian but not one of the worse even this season (that would be tiwila and scout). again most of the late game players are villians i think julie is the last player to be close to a hero.
palau – stephenie i regret to say showed villians traits once or twice this season. ian is not a hero for the gregg blindside and trying to turn on tom. caryn is just silly strategically.
gutamala – another season of a lot of villians rafe and lydia underrated in that category in my opinion. id put dani as a slight hero.
panama – now for my biggest take other than colby not being a hero that is cirie is definately a villian strategically which is my criteria. i think terry is a hero personally but s;igghtly more questionable.
cook islands – yul and ozzy hero status is controversal despite me liking the later a lot. id also consider candice a bit of a mixed bag but one of the players whose villian status was more because of twists. penner is definaetly a villian. parvati is barely relevant to the season.
fiji – hot take yau-man not a hero in a lot of ways but only marginal. dreamz definately a villian. mookie is someone who would be a hero if more relevant.
china – phih-gee not a hero for throwing challenges but it is marginal. jamie and jean-robert underrated villians (the later should have been disqualified). todd is a major villian.
micronesia – parvati is more heroic than cirie there i said it but they both are villians mostly (parvati not tunring on amanda is heroic unlike cirie most of the season) also penner doesn’t become a hero same with eliza. natalie is a villian. id put erik a hero mostly. amanda and james earned their hero tribe spots.
gabon – sugar is mostly someone to be put on the hero tribe i don’t consider her a villian for turning on ken and cyrstal which she had to pick a side within her alliance by bobs challenge streak the ace blindside is the only quesiton. corrine and randy full villians same with ken and cyrstal. matty is in the mookie kind of player.
tocantins – jt is a hero here. while coach and tyson definately villians 100% same with their ally debbie (although not as obvious). sierra is a hero for the most part id put taj in the category. erinn didn’t turn on anyone so thats heroic (except maybe candace). stephen is a bit villianous.
samoa – russell isn’t much a strategical villian in the 2nd half of the season. id put natalie as a hero. shambo is a villian most of the rest are hard to classify.
heroes vs villians – jt and candice definately reverse their roles as does danielle in the reverse (although her as a villian ewas already questionable).
nicragua – holly id put as a villian controversally acctually except fabio (and thats questionable) and dan (who is mostly forgetable) no late game players are heroes but the big villians are naonka and marty. brenda isn’t as villianous as people think.
redemption island – the only hero in the entire cast really is matt due to zapatera throiwing a challenge krista and franchesca are more forgettable than catageorgiacl and kristina okay i’ll consider a hero.
south pacific – all the upolu alliance post merge are villians (councting cocheran). while savaiis only other villain really is jim.
one world – chelsea is a villian and christina as much as i don’t iike it is a hero but most are not changabble.
phillapines – pains me to say it but malcolm is not a hero this season but is next season in fact denise and unfortuneately skupin are the only late game heroes carter is another hard to define player.
caramoan – malcolm reverses roles dawn the other way. brenda id put as a definate hero this time as well. of the fans sherri is a villian reynoldand eddie heroes and the rest are either irellvant or narrow villians.
blood vs water – monica not a hero nor is ciera this time.
cagayan – another season where the closest to a late game hero is woo of the entire final 6 now i will say tasha is close but didn’t do much heroic and early on was a villian didn’t change at all till final 10.
suan juan del sur – another seaosn of late game villians id say keith and for the most part jaclyn are heroes in the late game.
worlds apart – mike is the only player in the blue colar alliance who at any point is heroic and thats 2/3rds of the merge tribe the minority alliance though where heroic mostly.
second chance – kimmi id put as a villian unfortunately. jeremy is all over the place.
kaoh rong – aubury classifies as a villian to me from the peter boot on. tai game play wise similiar as is cydney.
millieals vs gen x – another season of late game villians id say brett is the last hero standing game play wise although jay was probably the biggest. ken would narrowly dit hero.
game changers – the top 2 were the main villians. tai and aubury are more heroic. cirie may have been a hero if not for the final 7 round. andrea same but her boot round. varner supprsiingly until his last tribal was far less villianous (as in not at all) till that point.
heroes vs healers vs hulsters – ben not a hero anymore but lauren id say was the most continious villian. chrissy sadly would be a villian tribe but isn’t as bad as ben. ryan and mike late game heroes.
ghost island – laurell despite hurting her game and angela are considered heroes but they didn’t do anything. in fact after michaels boot there either irelvant or villians.
david vs goliath – another season of misplaced players especially most of the david tribe excpet davie who made deep runs aren’t even close (carl using the nulifier edges him into villian). dan the victim of said twist is clearly a hero as are a lot of the late goliaths (excpet angelina).
edge of exetinction – devens game play wise is all over the place but the main villains are wardog and ron. chris is a villlian late in the game but before that is only thing to consider would be heroic. david is more heroic this time. kelley is more a villian but not by much.
island of the idols – other than elaine everyone who voted kelly out are clear villians and don’t redem themselves. the flip side are mostly heroic.
winners at war – this cements natalie as a villian shows ben a bit more heroic but noone changes their reputation much.
41 – xander id say is a hero as is erica.
42 – drea is more villianous on the show.
43 – a season of late game villians at least what i remember of them.
44 – another tricky one to classify players in the late game the main hero moves for danny (i think) playing an idol for frannie and carolyn playing one for carson.
45 – id say emily is a villian of the questionable players.
46 – maria hero. kenzie villian due to the late game things.
47 – rachel and sol are considered to me heroes.
48 – very little villany.
i will be posting a lot of survivor content like this in the lead up to 50.
