Asking everybody on Survivor Game Changers to vote out a player before the game begins, more than half the votes are for the three former winners.
One of the worst parts aboutSurvivor All-Starsback in the day was the underlying notion that past winners were the first targets to go. That latent bitterness derailed a lot of the potential fun that season could have been, with the focus shifting to the blossoming love connection between Boston Rob and Amber.
Survivor Game Changerswill see three former winners compete for the million dollar prize, but if unofficial early votes ahead of the game’s official start are any indication, those who have won may already have a huge target on their backs.
Since the official February 8 reveal oftheSurvivor Game Changersfull cast list,Dalton Ross of Entertainment Weekly has been providing interviews of each of the 20 castaways. On hisInstagram account, he’s also been asking each of his interview subjects to vote their first person out that they wish, if they could.
Without knowing tribal lines or even speaking to any of the other players, after 20 interviews, here is the final tally forSurvivor Game Changersearly votes. Each vote includes the people who voted for them in order of reveal.
- 7 for Tony Vlachos (Hali, Tai, Sierra, J.T., Varner, Andrea, Troyzan)
- 5 for Sandra Diaz-Twine (Caleb, Aubry, Tony, Cirie, Sarah)
- 2 for Cirie Fields (Malcolm, Ozzy)
- 1 for Troyzan Robertson (Brad)
- 1 for Aubry Bracco (Sandra)

As you can see, 13 of the 20 available votes went to either Tony, Sandra, or J.T. in this fun little exercise. Of course, with the tribes split into ten apiece and most pre-game plans usually being thrown out the window immediately, it’s just to show what the players ofSurvivor Game Changersare thinking before anyone talks to each other.
Interestingly enough, because of J.T.’s massive blunder in handing Russell Hantz an idol inHeroes vs. Villains, he’s fairly under the radar considering his abilities in the game. He doesn’t have Stephen Fishbach to help him out this time around, but he can still bring it in challenges and make the social connections he needs to be a huge threat. This may factor into boot list preparations.
In addition to the overwhelming winner jealousy, there were some other interesting comments made on some of the votes. For example,“F— You” Brad Culpeppernoted his curse out and what silly name Troyzan is in his vote.Debbie remains saltyand thinks Andrea is treatingSurvivorlike it’s a Playboy shoot (rude). Cierawants there to only be one of her namesakeby voting out Sierra. Finally, Zekejust can’t handle J.T.’s dreaminess.
