Ygritte – 17th in Survivor: Game of Thrones

Fierce as all hell and has the gameplay to back it up, Ygritte would be a loyal Survivor player. While she wouldn’t lead up the majority alliance early, she’d definitely be a right-hand woman and have a key role in deciding targets in the first few votes. She has a fiery personality and will insert herself into conversations about who should go next while demonstrating a strong, workmanlike presence at camp.

However, Game of Thrones rewards people in ways that Survivor scolds others. Ygritte can easily be portrayed as “bossy” at camp, especially in the way she speaks to others. How many times can a player say “you know nothin'” before it starts to irritate others at camp? You need to either put yourself in a power position or lay low early, and Ygritte is not great at doing the latter.

Showmances are often targeted in Survivor, and her closeness to a character the likes of Jon Snow would put a target on their backs. As Jon shows personable skills, Ygritte’s lack of social game could mean she gets the axe early.
