Survivor Nicaragua Hall of Fame

So recently the inductees to the Survivor Hall of Fame were released. Fans of the show & Jeff Probst apparently came up with the 5 Survivors admitted... but because there are so many typos and mistakes in it, i figured i'd re-do it for you all. (you can read the original [completely wrong list] here)

1.)Yul - hands down the best strategist to EVER play this game.
2.)Todd - he knew this game inside & out and had a flawless victory. he controlled his alliance better than anyone in 21 seasons of this game.
3.)Parvati - she went from the clueless flirt her first time around, to one of the most devious masterminds the game has ever seen and won the million dollars for it. She went from a target on day one with a 3 person alliance vs 7 and made it to the final tribal council.
4.)Russell - there has never been a player more manipulative & more hated that has managed to convince people not even in his alliance to turn on their own like him.
5.)Cirie - looking at the woman you would never in a million years guess she could do the things she did on Survivor. She gave us one of the biggest survivor blunders EVER in making Erik gaving up his idol.


..... now to Nicaragua.

There's been some amazing players over the past 10 years so i'm not sure if anyone this time around can dethrown them to earn their spot in the top 5 best as of yet.. maybe if there was a top 10.. so with the finale just a week away and a boring episode last week (so no blog from me) i decided i would do a Survivor Nicaragua Hall of Fame ...

1.)Jane - who would have ever guessed based on photos and bios that this little old lady would come out there with a feisty attitude win two very physical individual immunity challenges, talk about P90x & carrying guns.. she's amazing. i absolutely love her. and i hope the likes of Jane will really show the casting department that America loves relatable people. yes, sometimes we do want to see people with the bodies of Alina & Benry out there.. but you can either be hot or entertaining. you can't be both. i've never known someone who was smart, funny & sexy... it doesn't work like that. you're living in the jungle with no bath, i can assure you regardless of your abs or how little your bikini is noone's turned on by that because we know just under those bottoms is crusted over goodies that smell like a bag of rotten onions. we'd rather have entertainment. so listen up, CBS!

2.)Dan - the guy is probably the weakest person the show has ever had, physically. he doesn't do anything. nothing. i'm honestly surprised we haven't seen the medical team out there giving him oxygen this season. where did he come from? BUT he's hilarious. he's probably 4 foot 2 and he's so smug and cocky and its like, why?? you have no reason to be! and thats what makes him funny. the fact that someone like him who should have honestly been hacked up and eaten on day 1 is still in the game puts him in the Nicaragua Hall of Fame in my eyes.

3.)Na Onka - yes she quit. i'm just as disappointed as you are, probably more because i actually liked her but you have to give the girl credit. when has there ever been someone who has been so OPENLY villainous to their entire tribe? we've seen some pretty mean villains in the past but they mainly hide behind confessionals and one on ones. She doesn't give a shit and i would bet my life that had she not quit she would still be in the game. Brenda was her ally. Brenda found her a clue, Brenda had her in good with Chase, Brenda protected her and she slit her throat. She was really starting to play the game for herself and to win.. but then she quit. but quitting aside, she did what noone has ever done in the past and what i'm willing to bet noone could do again. to be that big of a bitch to your face and make it that far in that game amazes me.

4.)Sash - Sash had it all. Perfect plan, perfect alliance, he had people giving him immunity idols, he was the tie that binds his alliance to the enemy. he was that liason. perfect strategy. he had the votes of his alliance and the votes of the other side.. then it crumbled. he lost Brenda, he lost Na Onka, he lost Purple Kelly... then he became the swing vote. He won immunity, he has a hidden idol, he's in a good spot in this game right now. He went from the highest of the high to the lowest of the low and now he's on his way back up... to experience all sides of the game is what puts Sash in the Nicaragua Hall of Fame.

5.)Holly - I'm one of those people who when i watch the show i have my favorites. i have those that i love to root for that are so entertaining and funny (i usually love the villains) but i'm also one of those people who give credit where credit is due and even if you are my favorite, i'll admit if someone else in the game is playing better than you... Holly is that person playing better than you. No one is playing this game like Holly. She truly deserves to win this million dollars & the title of sole survivor this season. She went from wanting to quit, to being in the minority, to taking her fate into her own hands, switching to the other side, she is always one of the last ones standing in an immunity challenge, she orchestrated Brenda's ouster, she stepped up for her tribe and got them food & a tarp, she is the mastermind behind all key moves in this game. She doesn't let people walk away to themselves, she's been seen on more than one occasion running up in the middle of people strategizing voicing her opinions. Na Onka, Alina, Benry, Chase have all stated she reminds them of their mother.. thats a huge comparison. If Holly makes it to the end she'll win hands down and i feel she honestly deserves too. With two episodes, 6 castaways, 3 immunity challenges & 2 hidden immunity idols still in the game, only time will tell if she can get to the final tribal council but based on what we've seen of her thus far i think she will and i think she'll win, which is great because it'll be the first time since Fans vs Faves we've had a deserving winner...
