Russell Hantz’s Top 100 Greatest Survivors Ever

92. Chris Underwood (Edge of Extinction)

It’s telling that Chris won a season of Survivor and is this low on a list of the show’s top players. That’s because he only played 12 total days, but as we saw in Winners at War, there’s a way to win a season as an Edge returnee and Chris played it perfectly.

He was able to convince Lauren to play her idol on him despite him having his own idol and made the ultimate move by giving his immunity up to make fire against Devens. He knew he wasn’t going to win if he didn’t take out Devens in fire, so he did it and that won him a million bucks.

That, along with the ability to make bonds with the jurors, got him enough votes to win the season. He’ll always be one of the most controversial winners, but hey – He won the game and that’s more than most of the people on this list can say.

91. Kenny Hoang (Gabon)

I’m really sad that Kenny hasn’t come back since his initial season on Gabon because the guy really had a shot at winning that season and he 100% would have deserved it. Kenny was on the doomed Fang tribe but was able to make it to the merge and take out some of the biggest threats along the way.

He made bold moves when he needed to and if it wasn’t for Bob winning all of the immunity challenges, Kenny would have had a legitimate chance at being the winner of Survivor: Gabon. Who would have thought a professional video gamer would have done so well, but Kenny proved it was possible.
