Who would become the Sole Survivor in Game of Thrones?
Tyrion Lannister – 6th in Survivor: Game of Thrones (8th jury member)
Survivor, if John Cochran proved anything, is a game that anybody can win. Even if they’re not the strongest or the most committed to team dynamics, a strong gameplay, standing behind bigger targets and furthering yourself in the game is all that matters. There’s nobody better at putting others first in the line of fire than Tyrion Lannister.
No other Lannister is as self-aware about their shortcomings than Tyrion, making it easier to argue that others are more important to remove first. That kind of gameplay is similar to that of Cirie, a player who was once too scared of leaves, let alone other players. Yet, Tyrion grew over the years (and in the season), blossoming into a heroic character during his time on the island.
With just six players remaining, a conniving player such as Tyrion Lannister stands out the tallest. Despite his lack of physical ability, he more than makes up for it with a natural, self-defeating social game based on playing up his weaknesses. There’s no way that he can win those crucial Individual Immunity Challenges late in the game, hence why the smarter, more well-rounded players kept this dangerous player almost to the end.
