Survivor Cook Islands: 5 players we want to see again

1. Yul Kwon

Over a year ago, prior to the founding of Surviving Tribal, I put Yul Kwon on my list of thetop 15Survivorplayers ever, although here on ST, I ranked him pretty low just because it was really hard to justify putting him higheramong the winners(or, more accurately … what was I thinking?…I can’t answer that question, but the next time we here at Tribal rank the winners, I will correct my mistake). I sat throughCook Islandsagain here on ST at least partially because I really like Yul’s game.

If Yul comes back on an all-winners season, which seems like the best place to put him, there would be a key question he would need to answer. How would he play with a very different hidden immunity idol situation? I identified this as a problem in my own 2016 assessment, and it’s one that my colleague, Daniel George, also picked up on in his write-up of Yul on the Tribal winners’ list.

ButCook Islandsmakes Yul’s case for being a good player pretty effectively, even before he wrapped it up atFinal Tribal Council.

Survivoralways needs more returnees. If any of these fiveCook Islandsplayers were willing to return to the game, that season would probably be made all the more interesting by their presence.
