Varys – 14th in Survivor: Game of Thrones

If there’s anyone that could translate smoothly from Game of Thrones to Survivor in an instant, it’s Varys. He’s not a physical competitor, but he has an impeccable social game that is practically unrivaled. Even when the heat is on him, early on he’s able to get a power player’s ear and move the target off himself and place it on someone else.

You would think that Varys would be the kind of Game of Thrones character conniving enough to make it deep in Survivor, but it’s not that simple. The eunuch is quite the contrary; he plays multiple sides, he has players repeating insight back to him like little birds and he has no solid allegiance to anyone. Ahead of a merge, you need to keep solid votes in your favor for fear of turning the tide over to the opposition. Varys is the perfect target right around that 14th place spot.
