16. Rob Cesternino (Amazon, All-Stars)
Rob Cesternino should be MUCH higher on this list because he invented the style of play that’s so common these days. He was the original strategist and was the king of cutting people out of his alliance when he no longer had any use for them.
Rob was constantly running the show in theAmazonand is always considered one of the best to never win the game. It’s a crime that Rob hasn’t come back to play since he was taken out pre-merge inAll-Stars, but we haven’t been completely robbed of his thoughts, as he hosts an incredible podcast (Rob Has a Podcast– Check it out if you haven’t already).
Hopefully, Rob returns again someday, but if not, we should be thankful for him playing a huge part in howSurvivoris played today.
15. Yul Kwon (Cook Islands, Winners at War)
One of the best winners is Yul Kwon, who wonCook Islands. He was able to find the Super Idol early on in the game and used that to switch Penner over to his side and control things post-merge. Not only did Yul gain control of the game, but he made smart moves along the way, like taking Penner out to gain favor of Adam and Parvati who would soon be on the jury.
Yul looked to be someone who could make it far onWinners at War, but he was blindsided shortly before the merge after the tribe swap, which occurred due to the three voting him out having formed a pre-game alliance.
Even with his blindside onWinners at War, Yul’s win onCook Islandsis still one of the best we’ve ever seen.
