    Vecepia is so underrated. She was the pioneer of the under-the-radar strategy, one of the most historically successful strategies in all of Survivor, when there was zero precedent for it. She had virtually everything going against her the whole game, and yet she was able to weasel her way into the bottom of alliances and ultimately win by what really should have been a much more commanding vote. Survivor was a different game back in those days, and no winner to that point had been dealt a harder hand. Not to mention, she was the first African American winner of ANY reality TV show. Even if she wasn't too entertaining, she was awesome. Love to see her on this list and getting some respect

      Even though I’m against ranking winners, if I were to put them in general groups, Danni would definitely be in near the top. It’s strange to see these rankings where she’s put down so low (probably because of the edit) when she did everything right to win, she didn’t dominate like Tom or Kim but that wasn’t an option for her.

    I admit it. I laughed when Chris was giving his speech about getting women to open up the backdoor. I'm a child.
    I'd still rank Denise as the most successful underdog. I know people harp on about it but going to every single tribal council is huge. Even if you feel like you're in the majority, your position is always tenuous. You never have a moment to just forge bonds for the future because everything is in a constant state of flux. Plus, it provides more opportunities for things to go south on you.

    Chris' victory was actually pretty unremarkable, in my opinion. I just re-watched his season and I had forgotten how little he actually had to do at the F7 to ingratiate himself with the ladies and maneuver his way to the Final 2. He kind of just *fell* into an alliance at the F7 which took him to the F3. He actually had a confessional where he said he basically didn't have to do anything. Not trying to take anything away from his victory - obviously totally earned - just not as much of an underdog story where he was targeted at every turn that I seemed to remember.

    • @jolteon345
      @jolteon345 2 роки тому

      The thing with Chris is that the female alliance waited too long to eat themselves. I think if they left Chad in for an extra 2 votes, Chris has a harder path. Instead Leann and Ami literally *told* Scout, Eliza, and Twila that they were the bottom 3...getting rid of Leann and/or Ami before Chad would've left a solid alliance of 4 for Chris to break through, and an alternate universe where Eliza wins.
      Chris definitely was one of the least interesting winners, and his gameplay was almost non-existent...but weirdly enough that was the type of gameplay that was gonna win that season. Kinda like Bob, who won because the others ate themselves alive (and Sugar was more loyal to Bob than the guy who literally pulled her out of a doomed alliance), but Bob was a much, much more interesting character.

    • @totaldramatyler4484

      Fell into it? Maybe not. If the alliance didn't happen, he probably goes out at F5 if he loses immunity. It's just amazing to see one man dismantle a women's alliance of 6, the fiercest women's alliance at the time brought to their knees by the chubby dude. Also, he was no slouch. He won 3 immunities, and gave one of, if not the greatest final tribal's ever, he gamed Twila so hard and he convinced a bunch of scornful women who didn't want a man to win, to vote for a man to win. He had to work hard to convince Julie and Eliza after brutally stabbing them in the back

      @@totaldramatyler4484 With all due respect, you're exaggerating. He won immunities, sure, and he had an impressive FTC performance, but Chris didn't "dismantle" the women's alliance. They dismantled themselves. By the time the F7 came, they were ITCHING to get rid of each other. Chris himself said in a confessional something along the lines of, "I don't have to do anything! I just sit back and watch them fall apart."
      And his final tribal performance was good, but it wasn't game-winning. He won because he sat next to Twila, who was the only person in the game more reviled than him. Good move bringing her to the end, but Eliza especially was never going to vote for her. He always had that in the bag.

He did have to do quite a bit of work to convince Eliza to flip, and to keep Eliza on his side to get rid of Ami at the Final 6, because Eliza didn't trust or like Scout and Twila.

    Sandra was definitely a huge underdog in HvV, Michelle was a big underdog in Koah Rong, so many more that I would’ve included on this list.

    What made Danni such a fantastic winner was how she infuriated production. Probst was looking forward to her being the femme fatale, a year before Parvati came onto the scene. What he got instead was a combination of a tomboy jock (Stephenie) and a diplomat (the future Natalie W). It would be incredibly surprising to not see her use a similar strategy and go on to win another season.

    This video is beautiful as an opener to DvG, with arguably a new member of the top 5 in winner Nick. He was saved by a medevac and continually played from the bottom. Not sure he'd dethrone Danni, but maybe he'd land at 4 or 5.

  • @juliawachtel2716

      Fabio wasn't really an underdog until the F5-F6. I do love Fabio though, but I'd say he's close to the Top 5, but not in it.

    What about Ben from season 35? I was expecting to see him on here. After the merge his alliance turned on him and he should have been out but stayed strong to the end and only got into the final bc he won a firemaking challenge.

  • @julianbigelow2794
    @julianbigelow2794 3 роки тому

    2:55 Mike made a snafu at the auction. He made people mad. I don't understand why so many people got angry about that.
    First of all, Mike almost did something deceitful, but then he changed his mind. He didn't actually do it, so what's the problem?
    Second of all, if Mike had gone through with his plan, that would have been a smart strategic move. Dishonesty and deceit is the name of the game.
    I would say that Mike should have gone through with his plan to deceive. After all, he pissed people off by almost pulling a fast one (people are so thin skinned that they are offended by stuff that didn't happen). By changing his mind, he pissed off more people.

    Danni, Denise, and Vecepia (I’d add Aras, Natalie A, Adam, Michele, & Ethan too even though they weren’t underdogs) show that just being p damn good at all aspects of the game but not placing yourself in a position where you’re seen as a titan of any particular area is prob the deadliest strategy you can have

    • @TheEsotericism1
      @TheEsotericism1 6 років тому

      Because he straight up didn't deserve to win. He played a fourth-place game and production interference bailed him out. If he wins that last immunity challenge, then sure, but he didn't and would have come in 4th in all 34 seasons before his.

    • @usainaus8679
      @usainaus8679 6 років тому

      @usainaus8679 6 років тому

      TheEsotericism1 and even so like look that his journey as a whole two he found three straight idols like that’s hard as hell and I bet no one that season would’ve even thought after he lost his alliance that he could even make it too final four at least

    • @TheEsotericism1
      @TheEsotericism1 6 років тому

      If he wins the last immunity challenge, he would have been a fantastic underdog and it's nothing against Ben personally. It's just the fact that, out of nowhere, when Ben had no possible way out, an unprecedented event in the context of Survivor led to an eviction without voting grounds. Even though you're right that he did win the challenge fair and square, he played a 4th-place game according to every season and every vote before that. There have been some awesome 4th-place players, but you have to either win the challenge or have the necessary strategy to get past that last eviction. It's probably the most difficult hurdle of the entire game and it just got taken away for Ben. IMO
