Russell Hantz’s Top 100 Greatest Survivors Ever
78. Andrew Savage (Pearl Islands, Cambodia)
Andrew Savage was the leader of the dysfunctional Morgan tribe and ended up getting screwed over by the Outcast twist in Pearl Islands. At the same time, however, that twist did prove that actions came back to haunt certain players and it cost Savage his life in the game with the way he treated Lillian Morris, who flipped on Morgan. He narrowly missed out on being included in the jury that season.
It was another 12 years before we got to see Savage play again and fortunately, he was one of the lucky 20 to get voted onto the Cambodia cast. Unfortunately, Savage got gypped once again, being the victim of Kelley Wentworth’s epic blindside. As Abi-Marie said though, “At least you made the jury!”
77. Teresa “T-Bird” Cooper (Africa)
It was unfortunate that Teresa Cooper wasn’t selected to appear on Cambodia, but at least she gets credit on this countdown. Things seemed bleak for T-Bird on Africa once the older people were on the outs on the original Samburu tribe, but the first-ever tribe swap saved her and helped get her to the merge.
T-Bird cast the infamous vote for Lex, which sent him into a mass panic where he accused Kelly of voting for him and then ended up voting Kelly out as a result. T-Bird was such a sweetheart and it’d be nice to see her get a second chance since she didn’t make it on Cambodia.
