Survivor season 35 finale: How each player can win

Ryan Ulrich – Mastermind?

Honestly, if Ryan Ulrich wins Survivor season 35, I don’t know how I will react. Not only from an edgic perspective has he shown no probable path to victory, but I don’t know how he would convince a jury of his peers that he deserves to win a million dollars over Ben or Devon in any capacity.

Just for fun, let’s assume it’s a Ryan/Chrissy/Mike Final 3 (even though I think Mike has more options to win in that scenario). One thing that Ryan can reveal at the Final Tribal Council is that he found the Secret Advantage to Chrissy from the beginning, giving her life in a game where she was at her lowest. He can argue he best navigated the game’s social dynamics with Devon from the beginning.

Having a strong social game will be his main argument at the Final Tribal Council, there’s a variable I can’t account for just yet; Chrissy’s defunct Super Idol. We know she brings out for others to see some point during the Survivor season 35 finale, but how successful a play it is will be a testament to Ryan’s success chances.
