Carson to me was everything I've wanted to see in a young super fan. He didn't over play his hand. He made strong bonds which is something the younger super fans seem to always fail at. He kept his cool for most of the game and was the favourite to win. After seeing so many young super fans flame out pre-merge or just fail at getting the ball rolling. Carson did what I never thought would happen. Also his prep was more than just puzzle studying, he put on weight because in his normal life he's underweight so he knew he'd need some extra weight to burn off. Just smart planning all around.
I really don't see how Erika and Maryanne are better than Yam Yam. For my money he is the best winner of the new era. I agree that Jessie is truly an inspired player, and really hope to see him again.
I agree. I assume though it’s because dissecting Yam Yam from the Tika 3 is hard. They were a such a powerful trio a lot of their success is shared achievement where Maryanne and Erika had moves they made that were pretty much just them. But that just shows that he played a great game he stuck with a minority alliance and made it work masterfully.
In no particular order Sara (41) Daniel Strunk (42) OK HES THE WORST Nneka (43) Josh (44) Brad (41) JD (41) Chanelle (42) Zach (42) Swati (42) Geo (43) Ryan (43) Elie (43) Jamie (44) Sarah (44) Rocksroy (42)
Honorable Mentions. Mathew: Easily playing the best social game of anyone pre-merge before his medical evacuation. He was set up so well to have a deep run. Frannie: The only player to accurately read what was going on with the Tika 3. Also incredible at a wide variety of challenges, and only lost the round she was eliminated because production can't change their puzzles and some 19-year-old nerd just memorized the freaking star puzzle. Eevie: Did an amazing job becomming the social center of their origional tribe and was extremly approachable. Unfortunately got screwed over by a split tribal where their only ally was immune making them too easy of a target.
Evvie’s vote off was saddening because they did so well to make a comeback from almost going home two tribals earlier, and it’s not like they were ever truly a big threat to warrant being taken out without that unfortunate set of circumstances!
Im sorry but Evvie had several bad reads and just didn't make it far enough for me to put her close to the top 15. She should have kept Voce and voted off challenge liabilty Tiff, but didn't. She somehow thought she was staying the night she went home, even though it was pretty obvious she was going, paniced at the "merge" vote and almost got Xander/Tiff to incorrectly play the idol on her. I think people rate her highly because she's smart, but she had a very poor game
Whoever edited 41 was so obsessed in building Ricard/Shan's Malc/Denise-esque arc early on that they forgot to build a story for the actual Winner, or at least setting up the Winner's key relationships. They did Luvu so dirty. I don't give a shit about Sydney catching fish
41 was a mess. From a bad cast to the forced woke stuff. The only good thing was Shan and her amazing gameplay. I did like the dynamic with Ricard but after Shan left Ricard became less interesting
It’s so hard to pick between Jesse and Omar for me. Jesse was so logically convincing and managed his threat level perfectly, but I feel like Omar is more dangerous and was able to keep his threat level down despite having more fingerprints on votes.
@@jaimelannister1797 His threat level was well managed precisely until the endgame though, I don't think he had a better play at his disposal. Only needing to win one of two challenges (against three and one opponent respectively) on exactly one tribal council out of the entire season is pretty excellent threat management imo
Thank you for not underrating Erika like so many people do! She figured out every step of the way that was for her benefit. Everyone talked about how getting rid of Danny instead of Deshawn was a bad decision, but she knew then what we all do now: Danny was more dangerous. (Speaking of, glad you included Danny in Part 1.)
I think that Yamyam's game is underrated, and Jesse's is overrated. One of the lessons of the new era seems to be "Don't rely on goats". Every time someone in the new era tried to win the game by bringing goats with them to the end, it's always ended up a losing move for them. Xander's mistake was thinking that Erika and Heather were both goats, when he turned out to be the goat himself. Jesse crafted a final 3 that was full of goats with him, and this ofc meant that he was going to be the obvious target. In contrast, Yamyam's final 5 was full of people who all had some win equity, but who Yamyam knew he could beat at the FTC. Heck, worst case scenario Yamyam was confident enough he'd be able to beat them at firemaking.
@@casswashwash1070 : And his mistake was his final 3 endgame was to drag 3 goats to the end who had zero loyalty to him. If he had kept Dwight around instead of, literally anyone else in the Final 3, he'd have an extra shot at making it to Final 3, as Dwight was probably likely going to bring Jesse with him to FTC. Yamyam's game was locked up the moment it was the Final 6, he had options. He could've stayed with the Tika 3, or he could've plotted with Jamie, Lauren, and Heidi to backstab the Tika 3. People think that because he kept getting his name written down that's a mark against him, but I think that's a sign of how good most of the players on this season were - they recognized how much of a threat Yamyam was and needed to take him out, but Yamyam's game was also so good that Carolyn and Carson made saving him a priority.
I feel like Jam Jams game kinda wasn’t in his hands though. If Carson wins final immunity or fire then Carson wins. Jam Jam played a good game but kinda got outplayed by Carson and just ended up lucky Carson lost immunity and fire
I think one of the really interesting parts of the "new era" of the game... is that pretty much every winner would have survived at most one more pre-swap tribal if forced to go to it.
@@devondonato4609 I dont think so... working back for last few season 40 - I think Nick goes if another tribal 39 - Tommy was never in trouble pre-merge 38 - Chris season, doesnt count 37 - Angelina probably goes over Nick in pre-merge if they went again 36 - Wendell was never going pre-merge 35 - Ben was never going pre-merge 34 - Debbie probably goes if Nuku goes to tribal again I think Adam in 33 is the first winner I think may have actually been in danger if they went to another pre-merge tribal (even then I think Taylor goes there) But in modern? Erika would almost for sure have gone. Maryanne would probably have been in a lot of trouble. Gabler I actually think would have been fairly safe. Yam Yam is probably safe... but any time there are only three votes you cant be overly sure.
@@e_eyster Actually, in his exit interview, Deshawn speaks about how we didn't see that the actual target of the challenge throw was Sydney. Just like we didn't see that Deshawn was extremely close to Heather ("his number 1.5 ally"). Most likely, Sydney goes home there.
Great to see ERIKA on top 5 list. Thank you for screaming she had one of the best end games (last person I can remember was Nat in SJDS). She low key controlled every vote more than DeShawn/Xander. Her edit should be blamed as to why she's not in your Top 3.
The first episode they showed Mary Anne I was like. This girl is too sweet. She is gonna go far but not gonna win. I was shocked when she won. The reaction of the jury justfied what I was thinking.
Jesse is for sure #1 in my book, then Omar #2, and Erika at #3. They all had such strong, but not in your face game play, but all their plays fit together like a puzzle!
Carson being at the top of the Tika 3 makes sense, but I was genuinely surprised Heidi went to take him out at final 4, if only because I thought Carson did such a good job downplaying his threat level! But I agree, it’s a close call as far as which of the tika 3 is the best! Jesse’s run will always be fascinating to look at because by all accounts, he did the very best he could to put himself in a winning position going into the endgame. His downfall was not that he misplayed, but rather that he couldn’t win at immunity or firemaking, which is less of a knock against his game and more of a reflection of what would determine if he won or not! Sure he could have theoretically given himself a better chance of making final tribal had he not turned on Cody, but I think he was better off trying to play to win rather than just making it to the end without a great chance of winning! Jesse’s move against Cody may seem like a misplay, but in the full context of what we saw I don’t think it was!
Erika shouldn’t be top at all. Hour glass seemed so shady when it happened. She was protected by people’s fear of better players in end game. Also, the fact that she had an absolute extra vote sitting next to her. Carson is better than her 100%.
@@Julian-lz5pd you will never convince me of her being top 5 with her also having received the hourglass twist. She got to take immunity away from half of the contestants who actually won!!! Completely unfair.
Dude I appreciate this video so much. After finishing season 44 and watching the Tika three decimate their entire cast. It really speaks to the volume of the lack of skill the rest of the cast really had especially when you listen to their exit interviews about him being completely unaware of Tika three lol. But my point is, season 43 may actually have the highest collection of decently skilled players it’s just Jesse was so far ahead of even them it was wild. The More time that passes for Jess he’s game to really marinate in my mind the more impressive and amazing he really stands out to me among the rest of all players. 15:32
Honestly, Carson is number 2 for me, up until the fire making he was in no danger, I truly believe that if anyone besides Heidi wins final immunity, that Carson gets taken to the end, and it’s not like he was bad at fire, he was on pace to finish within 5 mins, just that everyone around him was really good
I simply can not understand how end results didnt factor in yet you have maryanne over the entire tika 3. Her game was essentially the same as gablers with her crucial play being more timely and a better final tribal over worse competition.
So my prediction is correct. We have 2 winners, 2 4th placers and a 6th placer. Thanks for giving Erika the credit she deserves. Her end game was so good. Having the tika 3 ranked consecutively is fair enough. Carson played the best out of the 3. Loved Maryanne always. I just realized all 4 winners of the new era have amazing FTC performance. Omar and Jesse are the top 2 as expected.
Agree on all. I'd also tack Deshawn onto this despite his lack of win equity down the stretch. I just rewatched 41 and the way he shifted the target to Sydney at mergatory was masterful. He had connections with basically everyone. His game really took a nosedive at the end but he had a very impressive first half
Honestly I think Carson is easily number one. Omar went at 6, and Jesse had no way to get to the end considering his lack of immunity prowess and his obvious status as the number one threat. Carson had fire against the fastest time ever, and probably would have been taken by Carolyn or Yam Yam.
Jesse is my favorite survivor player of the new era (and definitely a top 5 for me overall) I really enjoyed watching his gameplay and I am so glad to see him get his credit here
Hot take: I think Jesse was more lucky than he was strategic. Don’t get me wrong, he was a clever player and perhaps the most clever on his season, but damn did fortune shine on him. Dwight losing his vote gave Jesse sole power in dictating his level of control. Cody sharing with Jesse his idol was free information. In comparison to Dwight losing his vote and thus losing his footing, Jesse lost his vote and had 0% consequences as his tribe won group immunity. Also him winning group immunity when of all people Gabler had to assist Jesse up the wall. And overall, Jesse was probably seen as Cody’s goat and if Jesse had not voted out Cody with Cody’s own idol and if he had not been gifted with Jeanine’s idol from Dwight, we are looking at a player who did nothing and made it as far as he did by his relationships(which clearly were good) and his overall lack of agency. He really only was flashy twice, and while it was a betrayal and while he did work with many others, many may have seen Jesse as the Brutus to Cody’s Caesar. He had no challenge prowess and the one time he took any commanding lead was due to an RNG situation. Definitely had strategy but had far more luck than anything else. I’m not hating on the guy, but he definitely had so much luck in this game. His biggest mistake is not practicing fire making at all after he received possession of his two idols. If he was banking on making final three having terrible challenge prowess and little to no fire making experience after making two incredible plays back to back, he was kind of in his own way. He should have practiced.
@@devondonato4609 I agree, and perhaps the luck of others willingly giving him free information and advantages is a testament to his people skills and his ability to mask his threat level. And I think he earned a spot on this list easily, but the sheer amount of luck was really insane and definitely more than the average player.
Regarding Carson’s NASA font on votes: I wonder if anyone will use their voting font as a strategy. Either use same font or purposely write in different font, to either reveal or hide their vote 🤔
imo erika should be #1. unlike maryanne who would have left premerge had taku lost another challenge, erika would have been safe if luvu lost because sydney was the target. at the merge, if there no was hourglass, she wouldn’t have left anyways because she would have been at camp to defend herself and the target would have been on others (such as tiffany. this was confirmed by ricard in post game interviews i believe). the only time she was ever in danger was at the split tribal, but she was able to win immunity. she pretty much agency over every vote since the final 10 and did so while never being the biggest target which she should be commended for. omar and jesse were both seen as the biggest threat and that’s why they were taken out. erika literally was able to be taken to the end where she won near unanimously. i agree she may not have made as big as moves as others but when those big moves make you the #1 target, they might not be the best moves to make. erika took out many people who were threats to her game, kept a huge shield around to ensure her safety, and then was able to be taken to the end as the #1 threat to win it all.
Thats a stretch. And mayranne wasnt even number one so idk why you said it like that 😭 also its just about flashy moves yeah but really beneficial great strategic moves which Maryanne executed & her FTC performance was top tier anyways tho Erika played with literally the worst cast of players 😭 ill give her her credit but there were things ppl have done in their own game to cost them. Jesse and cody were driving sm decisions
@@casswashwash1070 i just mentioned the people above erika in this list. maryanne had a fantastic endgame, but so did erika. because erika had a better premerge, in my opinion, she is an overall better player. also, erika had the likes of shan, ricard, & danny on her cast who are all good players in their own right. she was able to effectively navigate the players on her cast and create lasting social bonds that helped her gain respect from the jury and dominate the endgame. and responding to your point about jesse and cody driving decisions, so did erika. she was the flip vote at the final 7, convinced her alliance to vote out danny at the final 6, and won the immunity that sent home ricard at the final 5. before that, she still had agency in the naseer and shan votes as well
In my opinion if the top five 1.Carson 2.Omar 3. Jessie 4. Yam yam 5. Xander I think Carson was such an amazing player. He was a loyal player sticking with the tika three such an hilarious trio. He has such a big threat but never got voted out. He was social and every one liked him. Also no one talks about the pre merge swap like being on the outs he was always safe and got information. He legit was someone I though would be gone early pre merge. Like for me at merge be looked something half dead walking around but he he proved me wrong and even won challenges(only the ones with puzzles tho but I respect how he learned all the well known puzzles) He was such a relatible player Yam yam was also a big threat and always on the outs but used his allies and social games to pull him threw. Like going in to merge with only three tika they did really well. I also think pre merge game is important and there's nothing for Erikas game. Like without a twist she would be gone. Xander did the whole Knowledge of power play and survived even tho being on the outs. He had no vote pre merge and his tribe went to tribal lots of times but he still survived using his social game. And Jessie was a good player but for me the Cody vote was stupid.
I love Erica! That 3:3 Shan & Liana Vote was just amazing! Love Love her! And Maryanne come on she ruled that FTC and the Omar vote. Ppl really hate on them: But they both deserved it- they played an amazing late game! Hope to see both back on Winners at War 2!
Omar was head of her 💀 are yall not paying attention? 😭 unless you meant hes not above tika boys. Then my bad. But she was better than erika to me because she had more competition. Erika played against idiots
@@casswashwash1070 : Exactly, Maryanne and Omar's season was full of people who were more strategically aware, while Erika was either good enough or lucky enough that most of the strategic threats crashed and burned at the first half of the premerge. The last strategic threat to her was Danny.
@@seanf1451 : Ah, my bad, I thought Danny got voted out after Ricard! Yes, Ricard was a strategic threat too, but the bigger issue Ricard had was that he was so obviously the frontrunner, and he didn't have that close of a tie with anyone left that it was easy to remove him.
It's hard to tell from the edit if the Tika 3 were playing with a bunch of dummies (a la ghost island) or if they were legitimate masterminds. Not complaining either way ❤
all great players here, but i find it difficult to place non-winners above winners. Carson, Jesse, and Omer all failed at minimizing their threat levels, making them gullible to a end-game blindside.
You do realize when you’re on the island you don’t get to hear everyone else’s thoughts and strategy. It’s easy for us to judge as the audience. Way harder to make these decisions when you’re on the island. In the video it literally says Cody could have immunity-ed himself to final 3 if you wait too long
I sort of feel bad for Jesse b/c I see a way he wins the game if Karla agrees to his plan at five where he saves her with the idol. Cassidy could have gone home at the final five and I think he could have convinced Owan and Gabler that Karla was the bigger threat at four. I assume Owen wins that challenge as he was quite close to beating Cassidy and Karla was quite hobbled at that point. I think Gabler and Owen probably realize that both of them have rather weak resumes and that they need to go into fire-making to have any hope of winning the game.
@@casswashwash1070so here’s the solution. At final 6 work with Karla instead of duping her and isolating her. That way they go into final 5 both with idols and he can beat her in fire at 4
Jesse is the most overrated player of the new era. He was playing against mostly horrible players so of course he looked good. It’s not hard to look like a star when you are next to poop. And his move taking out Cody is probably the WORST move of the new era. Cody was his only way to make FTC but Jesse got big move-itis. And took out his ride or die, thus dooming his own game. After that he had no chance of making FTC. He was terrible at challenges and fire making. And he painted a target on his back! He was great until he wasn’t at which point he self imploded. It can not be overstated that he had no plan to make FTC once Cody was gone! So putting him at one REALLY over estimates how he actually played.
Jesse is overrated imo. No one that season was really playing to win compared to him and that bit him in the ass. Also being one of if not the WORST physical players of the new era definitely makes me rank him lower than most
My issue with both MaryAnne and Erika being ranked as high as they were is the fact that both of them are probably pre merge boots if their tribes lost one or two challenges. Honestly, it's not the fact that they were simply physically weak, it's the fact that they were outside the main social structure of their original tribes. It would be like saying Morriah would be a great survivor player if her tribe had not lost a challenge pre merge. Granted, I will say that both women played a great game from final 7/8 to the end, however, I don't see them on an average season consistently making it to final 7/8.
Erika was not outside the original power structure which consisted of her Deshawn Danny and Sydney. Later in the premerge she is in danger but Deshawn sides back with her Naseer Heather according to post game interviews. Her post merge game is mainly what matters
Jesse was *terrible* at challenges (never even came close to winning one and was often the worst) and knew there was no way he was going to win at fire. What was his plan on getting past final 4 without Cody? Taking Cody out was a bad move. He was still a top 2 player of the new era imo, but you've gotta admit that taking Cody out was a bad idea. He needed to be taken to final 3. It was his only route there.
Now with S46 wrapped up and me pondering my own opinions on the new era players, here are my top 15 players from the new era (S41-46)! Honorable Mentions: Deshawn, Danny (S41), Mike, Lindsay (S42), Gabler, Heidi, Julie, Drew 15. Maria 14. Carolyn 13. Cassidy 12. Kenzie 11. Maryanne 10. Austin 9. Cody 8. Ricard 7. Carson 6. Omar 5. Yam Yam 4. Charlie 3. Erika 2. Jesse 1. Dee
17:10 I agree that taking out Cody was the right move, but I think Jesse should have held onto the idol and used it on Karla at 5, I think Karla being at 4 was his best chance to make it to 3 and I think that’s a missed opportunity on his part, that being said still a fantastic player
Karla would have taken him out at 5 if he'd played his idol for her. He should have used himself as bait so he could idol out whoever he wanted instead of letting them know he had the idol before the vote. I agree he's still the best, though
@@carlasmith9093this is a good idea. He should have acted paranoid about going home and trying to convince ppl he’s scared and they vote him but he saves himself votes cass or something
Honestly, pretty good list overall. I'd probably tweak a couple of placements, but the only real objection that I have is that Evvie should be somewhere on the list. Not Top 5, but I'd put them somewhere on the Top 15. I'd have to go back and rewatch the first part, but from what I remember, I'd probably remove Danny (41) in favor of Evvie.
Evvie was definitely in consideration and they would definitely be top 20 for me. Had pre-merge Yase on lock and just couldn't gain traction at the merge.
She was better in challenges, orchestrated 3 votes, despite only going to 7, convinced Xander to bring her to FTC despite her very obviously going to win, and was only actually in danger once.
@@seanf1451 Not trying to hate on her, but you are overpraising her a bit. She wasn't much better at challenges, and she didn't convince Xander to take her to the end. Xander just didn't think she was gonna win so that was his own bad instincts. Also, the hourglass does not help her case at all because she most likely goes home without it
@@tmm4195 don’t get me wrong I’m one of the few people who called the Erika win from early on and I did like her, I just don’t think she did more work than Yam, also the Xander thing was just Xander making a bad move and having a horrible read on the jury, Erika had no part in that
I feel so vindicated. I never thought you would put two non-winners as the top two. I have only watched Survivor for the past two years but I have binged every episode. So every player is fresh in my mind. I remember watching Omar live thinking “this might be the best player I have ever seen.” And then Jesse came along the next season…
@@kalebstuckey570 I just don’t see how you could possibly see every season and still think Jesse and Omar are the two best players ever The way your comment was written also made it unclear if you’d binged every episode or every episode within the last two years
@jaimelannister1797 He stated that he has only watched the past two years and has binged every episode in that time period, not every episode of every season.
I wouldnt put jesse at #1. He really only made one big move all game. Certainly the flashiest move of the new era but it made his threat level sky rocket and him public enemy #1.That season was such also a sleeper that it almosts makes his move seem better than it really was. I'd put maryanne, omar and yam yam as the top 3. I'd put jesse 5th or 6th
Only problem I have with this list is that Erika is lower than Maryanne. Maryanne’s social game was pretty bad the whole way through which is why she was on the outs at times. She did have to be convinced to take out Omar well, Their strategic positioning were pretty similar but I think erika has the edge over here
erika got very lucky though with the hourglass twist and her tribe never going to tribal council premerge. maryanne had to actually use her social game to get out of those situations
@@Kassandra-i4u Erika got very UNLUCKY with the hourglass twist and I will always say that, how is two days of no socializing lucky? Erika had to use her own social game to get herself or her ally out of situations like blending in with the majority when she came back despite having less time to make bonds and making a bond with Ricard that saved her ally at the split tribal.
I think it’s interesting that in this video 3 out of 4 players that were the best in their seasons were not the winner I wonder if this is a coincidence or if it’s something to do with the new format
Carson- Very shifty guy who should have been voted out early. If you really listen to everything he said about Yam and Carolyn, Carson could have easily been changed to negative for them. Plus the games and challenges were changed due to him and Matthew practicing so much. Erika- under edited winner, who got lucky with those around her doing way worse than her. Maryanne- owes it all to Jonathan, mike, and Omar. She could have been a little more respected if she didn’t go along with drea. The jury voted for the Maryanne over mike, who played a better game socially, because he couldn’t own up to being sneaky. Omar- great strategist and pseudo villain. He got screwed by the person who he helped. Jesse- only reason he didn’t win was because he took out Cody too early, and truth be told Cody would have given Jesse the win and asked for no votes. Plus he gets points for being the best player sniffing out Karla’s BS,
Idc that she won, Erika is not a top 15 player. She had more luck than any winner in the history of the show and even attempted to throw a challenge where she would have been voted out that night because her read of the game was THAT bad.
if only the best players of the season(s) were good at fire making 😢 watching Jesse get booted by Gabler’s (record breaking) fire sucked, and then THE SAME THING happening to Carson by Heidi’s (record breaking, AGAIN) fire… manifesting that the next season’s best player is good at fire. please!!
at this rate they don’t just have to be good at fire they have to be incredible lol. carson was by no means BAD at fire, he had a solid one within heidi’s record time
I Don't agree with jesse behind Omar in the list, because I don't think that Jesse should be high at all in that list. He was a decent social player, he knew how to play his best friend, keep his threat level low for a while... But his psychological/emotional game was a mess. He was barely standing during days. His physical had been stressed so much in the last days that taking him on a fire challenge was easy. Gabler had a much stronger game than Jesse. Jesse overwhelming fandom is a statement to what much viewers think of survivor nowadays: that it only takes the mind and the social game, deception, to win. But no - physical aspect of the game is still pretty relevant and Jesse sucked at it. He got some credit also because his season was terrible (Carla and Cody couldn't pose as real threats). Omar, on the other hand, was taken down not because he failed fire challenge, or because he was weak/beaten like jesse, but bc another great player (Maryanne) came on top of him with a slaying move. Omar, Maryanne and Gabler are a lot stronger than Jesse. Jesse being in #1 is kinda nuts. Disconnected from what the game really is and requires from players, and jesse couldn't give half of it.
Jessie is better then ever winner form the new era! Jessie would have won if he won fire! Jessie should have won Survivor 43! Cody is number two on my list!
Disagree, he actively got rid of someone who wanted to go to the end with him (Cody) too early. He also was not good at winning challenges which is an important factor. Personally I would’ve put him under Carson.
@@bellasmith2444 Survivor isn't about going to the end. Survivor is about winning. Also, the jury viewed Cody as the strategic and social threat between the two of them, so Jesse had no choice but to differentiate himself.
@@bellasmith2444 Challenge are important but if your running the show you don’t need to win challenges! Carson was good but was so annoying as person! Jessie love his wife and kids! He was a guy with a dark past fighting for his family! Cody was send home for trusting Jessie!
Jesse is a top 5 most overrated player in survivor history who made some of the most fatal flaws this game has ever seen in an endgame. Might genuinely have the worst endgame of any front runner in survivor history. His final 6 and final 5 moves are some of the worst moves of the new era by far and his final 6 bad move was a move he cornered himself into making
people always try so hard to justify erikas win. im sorry, she clearly didnt play the best game of the season she should not have won its that simply . in any other season against any other final 3 with any other non-bitter/ a jury that clearly would have voted for a minority NO MATTER WHAT let alone a female minority. Come on now.,
it literally is true though😭 there’s a good chance erika wins regardless aside from possibly two men. plus, erika played the best game out of the f3 and it isn’t particularly close either.
Maryanne is too high. I’d place her way lower on this list. She’d be a premerge boot if she wasn’t on a challenge dominating tribe. Plus, She was never really pulling the strings save for maybe the Omar vote. I’d definitely put Erica above her. But other than that I’d say it’s a good list.
I didn’t think Erika was a top 5 player, and this video still did not convince me. I have her at #8. My top 5 is: 1. Jesse 2. Carson 3. Yam Yam 4. Omar 5. Maryanne
