Survivor Winners at War episode 10 power rankings: Fight for love

4. Tony Vlachos

Tony Vlachos has received zero votes against him in Survivor: Winners at War. I repeat, one of the most prolific, chaotic winners ever to become a champion of this game has received zero votes two rounds after the merge. This comes after being voted out second in Game Changers by the only two-time winner (yet), and she was even somebody willing to work with him this time.

Tony has become the lion gathering other lions to form a pack and go after the shifting targets known as outsider hyenas. It’s a snappy, alluring grab for those in power, and the type of player classified as a lion lies with the man himself. All he has to do is grab someone else in to make a move against a hyena, and it seems as though his intentions come through from the merge onward.

I would put Tony higher up on our weekly power rankings piece were he a player who had even one trinket to pull out of his bag of tricks. He’s already gone into his spy bunker and generally made others in his alliance a bit on edge, but that was back in the tribal phase. Now he seems to be in the middle position of a high council with the ideology of a crusade against those not on his level.

He’s doing all of this, and he still hasn’t received a vote against him. It’s nothing short of a miracle.
