Russell Hantz’s Top 100 Greatest Survivors Ever
82. Keith Nale (San Juan Del Sur, Cambodia)
There was this time where I was attempting to answer a Survivor trivia question that asked you to fill in every contestant who has made it to the finale episode at least twice. Keith Nale was the name I kept forgetting and that’s because he wasn’t a great strategist, but the man was a beast in challenges, especially for being older.
Keith’s most remembered for his “Stick to the plan” comment at tribal council in San Juan Del Sur, which is still pretty funny to this day. Keith continued to stay in the game in both of his seasons despite being a huge threat because he was able to win challenges when he needed to.
Had Keith made it to the end of either season, it’d have been interesting to see how he fared against a jury and if he had been able to win.
81. Phillip Sheppard (Redemption Island, Caramoan)
Redemption Island was a boring season as is, but just imagine if Phillip Sheppard hadn’t been on the season. Yikes.
Phillip was a character, to say the least. That was a big reason as to why Boston Rob wanted to take him to the end with him in Redemption Island and somehow, Phillip was able to receive one jury vote to secure second place that season!
In his return season of Caramoan, Phillip played a better game, but was still very unpopular and was the victim of an epic double idol play by Malcolm Freberg.
