Margaery Tyrell – 8th in Survivor: Game of Thrones (6th jury member)
Unlike Jon Snow, Margaery Tyrell is quite adaptive with her allegiances. Her social skills are near unparalleled, and her handmaidens tell her everything that goes on in her immediate game. Most important for the longevity of her game is that she stands by as others take out each other, making sure she doesn’t get targeted herself.
Margaery’s biggest skill is knowing which direction the winds of fortune are blowing, knowing which ship to jump on as her previous boat sinks. Don’t mistake her unwillingness to make a big move for lack of conviction; she’s playing a strong under the radar game as more grandiose players paint bigger targets on themselves.
A player like Margaery, one who very few can get a read on, only gets eliminated due to unforeseen consequences. In a game where Hidden Immunity Idols can be whipped out at the last second, she’s likely to be targeted by the one person who knows her unparalleled capabilities: Cersei Lannister. As such, she blows up her game and sends her home.
