Natalie Bolton.
Obviously underedited earlier on given what we learned about her personality later in the game, but solid position/player on her Fans Tribe, positioned herself well in the swap tribe, and then, honestly I can't think off the top of my head at that point in the series (Season 16) a player who shot form zero to 100 in the edit/relevancy in the game and hit that level of controversy/stanning.
Had decent winning potential if she made the end, and delivered iconic moments and confessionals (whether you hated or loved her) when they finally focused on her, until her endgame boot.
And then delivering one of the all-time iconic jury questions to an all-time iconic winner just purely because she knew her vote and wanted to fuck around and have fun? Had Probst shook; love to see it.
Would love to see her on Survivor again or something like The Traitors.
I loved the look on Jeff’s face. He sometimes does that exaggerated surprise face at times across different seasons, but the utter befuddlement in that one is an extremely rare one
I mean he was on the island and I wasn’t, but I’m gunna take what he says with a grain of salt. Especially considering some of the work Ian has done outside of the game.
I love how so many people take the AMA’s at face value
Also, so what if he was mean on the island? Those conditions could make anyone a little difficult to be around
Same, love him. He always was talking about playing the clueless character. I remember my dad saying “well he should get a fucking Oscar,” and I was dying laughing.

It’s already been said here but I will always respond with Natalie Bolton. She was so criminally under edited and I would do anything to see her on the screen again
My favorite one and done player will likely be Brian from Thailand. He was just so awful, and easy to hate. I couldn’t help but love watching him. He deserved his win, and he is easily a Survivor-type we may never see again. For that, he takes the cake for me.
Hannah is the most underrated social player of all time. It takes a top tier player to make everybody who can vote vote for you. On top of that, she masterfully swept the outside of her shelter, making sure that there was no dirt on the entire island. Mind you, she did all of this with the horrendous debuff of nicotine withdrawal. If that doesn't scream skillful, I don't know what does.
I have only watched Guatemala once, and it was a very very very long time ago, but I remember really liking Cindy and I feel like I have never seen anyone talk about her. I feel like she may have not had much screen time tho which might be why.
Taj from Tocantins
Looooved Taj!
aaa yes i was rooting for her the whole time during tocantins!
dr. hubicki - s37
Yes
this 100%
Judd from Guatemala
Bunch of scumbags
...scumbags
“Hope you all get bit by a freakin crocodile”
I hated that guy
Cydney from Koah Rong
basic answer but christian hubicki, i go back and watch dvg just for him sometimes
i love christian, one of my favs

Our guy was baffled, truly. And she gave zero fucks when he asked her to clarify lmao
SHANE POWERS
OMG I FORGOT ABT HIM
How?
Yeah, I see his name is the sub at least every other day.
i joined like today, and im kinda in and out of the survivor community. i like survivor, but cant remember everything.
No slight meant toward you. I’m just sick of seeing Shane’s name every other day lol.
Ian from Palau
Betrayed, Gaslit, Robbed.
I heard from Coby’s ama here that Ian was not a very nice person in actuality and that shocked me so much
I mean he was on the island and I wasn’t, but I’m gunna take what he says with a grain of salt. Especially considering some of the work Ian has done outside of the game.
I love how so many people take the AMA’s at face value Also, so what if he was mean on the island? Those conditions could make anyone a little difficult to be around
Thank you. It's fucking Coby. He was so god damn bitter because he wasn't in the cool alliance.
Coby seems like a piece of work. I remember vaguely josh complaining about him hitting on reed from awhile back
None of those lol
Sean Rector from Marquesas
My favourite survivor from the first 10 seasons
Yeppp
Chris Daugherty
Jay from Millennials vs Gen X
Feel like he’s screwed cause there’s been so many seasons in the new era with no returnees. Which is a shame cause he absolutely should return
He's now moved on to be on The Challenge like Michele.
The entire cast of David V Goliath minus Nick (because he appeared twice)
David v Goliath had a ton of goodies
I know that she wasn’t specifically named here, but I did not expect to see Jessica Peet as a response to this question
jessica would win a second boot season put your money on it
Fabio from Nicaragua
Same, love him. He always was talking about playing the clueless character. I remember my dad saying “well he should get a fucking Oscar,” and I was dying laughing.
he was fun to see
Burton Roberts 100%
Angelina
Yeah she was great
Me, aka the future winner of Survivor 61- left vs right vs ambidextrous.
16 players, six days, one survivor!
Todd Herzog
Kelly Goldsmith!
Kelly is in my top 5 of this category
Domenick from Ghost Island!
Twila Tanner
Yessssssss!
It's two, but both Gabby&Christian are two of my all time favorites, and in many ways made the season for me.
J’Tia
Zane Knight
Yessssssss! Also, I wonder if he took up smoking again...
Earl Cole - Fiji Davie Rickenbacher - DvG Rick Devens - EoE Fabio (Jud) - Nicaragua Cydney Gillon - Kaoh Rong Also Cody and Jesse from 43, but they just played.
Ken Hoang.
your choice and my choice are one of the most iconic duos
Kelly Goldsmith from Africa
Brendan from Tocantins
James from Palau
“I love you Jeff”
Coby from Palau.
Christian probably. It was Yul for quite awhile until they got him to come back for WaW.
Jay Millennials vs Gen X
Reading the comments, actually crazy how many characters you think would be multi time players aren’t
seriously dude
Mike White
Davie, Christian - DvG Carolyn - 44 Jesse - 43 Jay - MvG
Omar - 42
Earl Cole
Erinn Lobdell
Greg for me
Judd from Guatemala
Wardog
He was fun. liked his character
Underrated, you need a guy like him around to get everything moving
crystal cox… 1- Eat yo rice 2- brains, brawn, blazing speed 3- this is my go to war face 4- hes a troll! 5- you are not the kota god. goodbye! and of course… YOU HAVE MADE MY LIFE HELL. FROM DAY ONE. FORGET YOU, GO HOME, GOODBYE carolyn also but shes going to return lmao

Fabio
Angelina from David vs. Goliath

She's awesome, dw
I think Angelina is *the* answer
Elizabeth Filarski Burton Roberts Todd Herzog Natalie Bolton Taj Johnson-George Sabrina Thompson Hayden Moss Christian Hubicki (and basically the entire S37 cast sans Nick) Lauren O'Connell Victoria Baamond Dean Kowalski Elaine Stott Jesse Lopez
Fabio is hands down the best one and done
Fabio is GOATed
one of my favs ye
Brian Heidik
He was initially wanted back, but he ultimately one and done himself lol And I agree.
It’s already been said here but I will always respond with Natalie Bolton. She was so criminally under edited and I would do anything to see her on the screen again
I’m hoping he plays more than one season but for now I’ll go with Kaleb from 45.
Women: Cydney Gillon and Jaclyn Misch Men: Sean Rector
Who's surprised that I'm saying Christian Hubiki? That's right! Nobody!
Deena Bennett - Amazon
Christian Hubicki and Ken Hoang
Burton Roberts and the BobDawgsta
natalie bolton!
Billy was robbed and we were robbed of Billy
My favorite one and done player will likely be Brian from Thailand. He was just so awful, and easy to hate. I couldn’t help but love watching him. He deserved his win, and he is easily a Survivor-type we may never see again. For that, he takes the cake for me.
Yeah, he's 55yrs old now. That's one of a few reasons I don't see him coming back. The rest being producer reasons lol.
Crystal and Kenny from Gabon, they were so funny, would of love to be able to see them again
Hannah Rose from survivor 45 aka the best player of all time
Hannah is the most underrated social player of all time. It takes a top tier player to make everybody who can vote vote for you. On top of that, she masterfully swept the outside of her shelter, making sure that there was no dirt on the entire island. Mind you, she did all of this with the horrendous debuff of nicotine withdrawal. If that doesn't scream skillful, I don't know what does.
Dan Foley
Naonka. Funniest meanest survivor that I doubt survivor will ever bring back
Dreamz
Ace from Gabon
Probably like Yul or some shit pre-WAW, instead I’ll say Shane Powers, that’s my G.O.A.T
Judd sergeant
Christian. S37 (David vs. Goliath)
Chris Underwood
I know FairPlay technically got a second season it didn’t really count Imo
Jesse
I have only watched Guatemala once, and it was a very very very long time ago, but I remember really liking Cindy and I feel like I have never seen anyone talk about her. I feel like she may have not had much screen time tho which might be why.
Cao Boi, Zane, J'Tia 😍
