Best Blindside from Survivor: Pearl Islands – Burton (Second Time)
Burton Roberts is the first player in Survivor history to be voted out twice, but it was his second boot that was the biggest blindside from Pearl Islands, though his first could also be a candidate.
Burton was initially the fourth one voted off the show and the first to leave from the Drake tribe. Pearl Islands‘ Outcast twist, one of the worst twists in Survivor history, allowed for two people previously voted out to re-enter the game and Burton was one of the six chosen to re-enter.
Once it got down to five, Sandra and Darrah convinced Lill to flip to their side and boot Burton and he did not see it coming when his name was written down three times and he was voted off – again.
Had this not happened, Burton would have potentially won Survivor: Pearl Islands.
Best Blindside from Survivor: All-Stars – Tom
Survivor: All-Stars was a fairly predictable season, which is why it’s a bottom tier season, but Big Tom’s boot at the final five ensured that we’d have an extremely bitter final tribal council. Tom had been aligned with Boston Rob throughout the season and when Rob turned on him, he was not pleased.
There really weren’t many blindsides in All-Stars, so Tom’s had to be the pick here.
