Dan Gheesling

Let’s go! Although Survivor has already seen another Big Brother winner compete and make it far (Hayden in Blood vs. Water), bringing in Dan Gheesling would show viewers the ultimate test between the two shoes. He’s without a doubt one of the most popular, most strategic and, dare I say it, best players that show has ever seen. However, the ability to tank challenges and make yourself look weaker might not work in a Survivor jury situation.

Without a doubt, he would be a target if any one of his fellow Celebrity Survivor players knew the extent of his play. His ability to acquiesce alliance members, make them feel comfortable, cut a bunch of deals and leave opponents misted once he cuts them would be a clinic, especially for a man who’s got competition written into his D N A.

The problem Dan Gheesling would enter on an island situation is the extent of his mental faculties driven from a hunger/dehydration standpoint. The man used 24-hour isolation to plot out the biggest scheme in Big Brother history, but for the most part, there’s no rest or relaxation in Celebrity Survivor. He’d need to egg himself on and persevere; he faces a tournament of shame in defeat if otherwise.
