Russell Hantz’s Top 100 Greatest Survivors Ever

94. Abi-Maria Gomes (Philippines, Cambodia)

Oh Abi-Maria. Where to start with her?

She’s an incredibly interesting character and even though she drove me downright nuts on Survivor: Philippines, she was entertaining. Whether it was picking fights or just calling people out on their crap, it was terrific television. Her fights with R.C. in Philippines and with Peih-Gee in Cambodia were fun and we know she’s never afraid to speak her mind.

One of the best Abi-Maria moments is during Philippines when she pretends she has a Hidden Immunity Idol even though the rest of the tribe knows she doesn’t have it. Classic.

93. Monica Culpepper (One World, Blood vs Water)

It was a bummer when Monica was voted out pre-merge of One World, but fortunately, she got to come back in Blood vs Water and played with her husband. That led Monica all the way to the final three where she ended the season as the runner-up.

She played a much better game the second time around than people give her credit for and as Laura Morett noted in the video, she has been in the shadow of her husband Brad Culpepper and it’s unfortunate. She was a good player and hopefully, she comes back again someday.
