Russell Hantz’s Top 100 Greatest Survivors Ever

84. Carolyn Rivera (Worlds Apart)

Carolyn Rivera had to fight her way into the final three of Worlds Apart and did so by beating Rodney in fire-making. On the way there, she managed to align with the right people and had no problem telling people how it was.

She found an idol and also was the only woman in her season to win individual immunity, which she did a couple of times. She was one of the strongest people in challenges and it’s a shame we haven’t seen her return for another season yet.

83. Zeke Smith (Millennials vs Gen-X, Game Changers)

Zeke Smith is unfortunately remembered most for Jeff Varner’s ugly outing of him at tribal council in Game Changers, but prior to that, he proved he was an awesome Survivor player. We all remember him and David going toe-to-toe in Millennials vs Gen-X that ultimately ended with David winning that battle.

In Game Changers, he did well, but once again wasn’t able to make it to the top due to his aggressive gameplay and his likability factor. Zeke was always someone who made moves when he needed to and was always ahead of the competition when it came to making decisions.
