10. Gabby Pascuzzi

Gabby is one of the most peculiar players in Survivor: David vs. Goliath. She’s made to look like the underdog struggling to survive the social elements, even though early on she’s shown to work well with others and pull off a blindside. She’s also protected well behind bigger threats and players in power, with Christian being her number one.

She’s also taken the brunt of blame early for moves she didn’t make, such as the Jessica blindside. Christian threw her under the bus despite the two being supposed ride-or-dies for one another. He’d rather have Davie and Carl thinking that she’s a voting possibility and someone who’s sketchy and scheming when she’s been anything but the contrary.

That is, she wasn’t sketchy until she reached out to Alison in order to blindside Dan Rengering. Despite working with Alison, to vote out Dan when Christian and John rely on him as the chief brochachos puts herself in a lot of danger and potentially at the bottom half of the voting numbers.

Perhaps the merge is where Gabby gains some confidence in making moves. Either way, she’s been giving off third place Hannah Shapiro vibes, which is double-edged. It would mean making third place, at least!
