Whether it’s been 20 returnees or 18 newcomers, a few standout players have done a good job on the tweet game. The Survivor Awards 2017 honors them!

One of the hardest things aSurvivorplayer has to do after playing the game is pretending that they didn’t play the game. Even though cast lists will get spoiled within weeks of filming wrapping up, players still have to go about their daily lives while doing their best not to break their non-disclosure agreements and get in big trouble with production.

However, once the cast has been officially revealed, it’s open season for commentary inside and outside ofSurvivor, allowing the players to open up a bit more and really allow fans to get to know them. That’s why theSurvivorAwards 2017 will honor the best players to debut their social media accounts to theSurvivorfandom this year.

Despite being a two-time winner,Sandra Diaz-Twinenever bothered to set up her Twitter account until this year. It was alldue to Courtney Yatespoking and prodding her, giving us a look at the Queen ofSurvivoras she prepared to play onGame Changers.

She didn’t tweet often during her season, but her call-outs were fantastic, especially aimed at JT for his double Tribal Council shenanigans.

Not only that but as a urologist, Mike used his platform to incorporate messages about men’s health to his followers, making sure everyone is as safe as can be. Who could forget some of Dr. Mike’s classic advice?

Warning: Some of these fertility-related tweets include audio about NSFW topics.

However, if we have to recommend anyone for following on social media, make sure you followJoe Mena.You have to appreciate the controlled chaos of his tweetstorms, as while he can appear to be a bit fast and loose with his words, he does so in love and appreciation for the show. Whether it’s words, video clips or theories, Joe Mena is an ardent follower of onlineSurvivorconversations.

Watch Survivor on fuboTV:Watch over 67 live sports and entertainment channels (including CBS) with a 7-day FREE trial!

He was one of the first people on Twitter to get 280 characters, and each one of them, including his various clown emojis, was used to perfection throughout the year. There’s no better hype man than Joe Mena, and he is certainly the most outspoken of any player this year. Do you have an honest question for him? He’ll likely answer, even if the answer has warts and all. He’s abrasive, sure, but he keeps it as real as he sees it.

Season 35 spoiled, yes its true boston rob comes back along with russel. Russel gets blind sided by rob except tony by accident brought his tyler perry idol as his emotional item, missed placed it on the island. Russle finds it, BANG boston rob goes home. Production goes crazyhttps://t.co/0jiyOxdHOd
