Survivor: Russell Hantz’s Top 100 Greatest Survivors Ever (70-61)
64. Nick Wilson (David vs Goliath, Winners at War)
Nick Wilson went from being a potential first boot in David vs Goliath to winning the whole shebang. He did it with his quick thinking and ability to adapt while also being the driving force behind the first ever successful minority split vote. Iconic.
Nick didn’t get a great edit in Winners at War and that’s disappointing, but it does sound like he was playing a better game than we were led to see. He came off as more of a doofus who didn’t know what he was doing and that’s a shame.
63. Jenna Morasca (Amazon, All-Stars)
Jenna Morasca is an underrated winner. She played a good social game in Amazon and at the time was the youngest person to win. Of course we all remember bawling our eyes out when she was forced to quit All-Stars so she could be home with her mother who had cancer.
It’s sad that Jenna went down a rough path recently because I would have loved to have seen her on Winners at War.

62. Bob Crowley (Gabon)
The oldest person to ever win Survivor, Bob Crowley gets a bad rep because of how bad that final three is. Corinne notes in the video that he had no social game or strategy, but was great at actually SURVIVING. He also dominated in the challenges and when it came down to who should win between him, Susie, and Sugar, Bob was the no brainer to win.
61. Jenna Lewis (Borneo, All-Stars)
Jenna Lewis was on the very first season of the show and learned a lot from her original season when she returned to play in All-Stars. As noted in the video, she was the “winner killer” in All-Stars and did not want them to advance far in the game at all.
That worked to her advantage and she also was wise to align with Boston Rob and Amber. Her biggest mistake that season was to not take them out when she had the chance because it forced her into a situation where she had to win the final immunity challenge in order to make it to the end.
