Russell Hantz’s Top 100 Greatest Survivors Ever

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. Her legacy is her getting naked for chocolate and peanut butter during a challenge, but Jenna showed that good social games could result in a Survivor victory.

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.
