Eddard Stark – 19th in Survivor: Game of Thrones

Survivor is a game about loyalty, and knowing when to break that loyalty to further your game is just as crucial. You need to have the numbers in order to take out the majority alliance, although some are capable of creating big moments out of a smaller core group.

Eddard Stark is never going to betray his side, never going to act without honor and never do anything that breaks the trust in those that he knows and follows. Unfortunately, in Survivor, you can’t go around telling others your exact intentions. Just like Susie from Survivor Gabon, I could no doubt see the Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North get asked who he’s voting out at a Tribal Council and reveal his target to their face.

It’s a good way of playing an honest game. It’s a greater way of getting yourself voted out early, which is where I see Ned’s game lying in this alternate Game of Thrones universe.
