Who would become the Sole Survivor in Game of Thrones?
Arya Stark – Sole Survivor of Game of Thrones
In Game of Thrones, you win or you die. In Survivor, however, you need to build a case for why you should win when you sit at the Final Tribal Council. Arya Stark’s presence as a meager, but cunning, castaway would set her up for a perfect under the radar player in the first half that makes friends, learns the game and makes stealthy moves from behind the shadows in order to further her game in the second half.

Her training to become a Faceless Man would give her all the tools necessary to play Survivor. She can blend into any group and pick up pieces of information that she can use later to plant seeds of doubt into others. She can use her equipment to create obfuscation and confusion, such as a convincing fake Hidden Immunity Idol for others to use to kill their own game. She has the patience to learn when her opponents are at their most vulnerable, knowing to strike when the opportunity arises and slink away before others catch on.
Most importantly, she would play from a hidden strength position in a way that both doesn’t anger those on the jury and allows her to slink her way to the Final Tribal Council. She’s also an excellent athlete when it comes to dexterous and intellectual challenges, allowing her to thrive in the late-game and win the Final Immunity Challenge to secure her spot at the end.
