Loved the list! I'm surprised Malcom and Denise didn't get an honorable mention though
yea They crack the top 10 easily, I can see them being 7 behind Tony and Sarah in WaW
honestly skupin and lisa ran that season more than malcolm and denise. at the merge, everyone was at their mercy including malcolm and denise
AMAZING DUO!
I think Malcolm and Denise, while iconic, were never that powerful. They were almost always scrambling or outnumbered.
@@thebumpercar1344 yet they both made final four. that takes power when you merge with your entire original tribe gone
Billy and Candace>>>
Raro?? From Candice tribe!?!?
…wait that’s not it-
Peridiam dropping dimes!!
They must be an honorable mention at the very least.
Untouchable
“The way she looked at me”
Amber being the good cop to Rob’s bad cop is interesting bc most of the duos in this list follow the same pattern! One person positions themself as the power player to look out for and the other gets to be nice and get in other people’s good graces. What’s even more interesting to me, though, is how it’s not always the good cops that win. It’s a double edged sword being in that position bc while the jury might not be as pissed at you, you also won’t get credit for the big moves that you made together (as is the case with Amanda w/ Todd and Parvati)
To be fair, amanda had a good chance to win both of her seasons, but blew it. So it wasn’t that she was seen as not making moves, but she came off as fake and didn’t own up to all the moves
@@tmm4195 very true! I have to agree, I’ve never liked Amanda’s play style very much because she always seemed disingenuous about how she played. I can see how that pisses off the jury in the end
I see your POV but idk if disingenuous is the right word. Maybe I am dumb, but unaccountable seems like a more apt term since she never owned up to her moves out of fear for being vindicated for it when the reality was she would've been applauded. Maybe the words are synonyms but disingenuine seems a bit more severe than it was. @@kerklyo6879
@@funkycrawler619 I’m gonna defend my word choice here. Not only did she not own up to her game, she was actively dishonest about how she played. Particularly in Micronesia with the Ozzy blindside, which we have since been told she was in on the whole time.
Amanda is a really good player. She made it to the end twice in a row. I won’t discredit her by implying that she lost her nerve in the end game. I think she knew exactly what she was doing and believed she had a winning strategy. Unfortunately, she was wrong.
May I ask what do you mean by wrong? She had a winning game both (arguably 3) times she played. She was the front runner in China and its been confirmed FTC changed the results heavily and Micronesia I believe it came down to Jason's vote for a tie (and I have heard Eliza was somewhat open). Just curious to know what you mean by wrong about her strategy cause her strategy and gameplay was amazing she just couldn't close. @@kerklyo6879
What about Tai and Mark the chicken. A match made in heaven
It legitimately is a real duo. Keeping people from killing a chicken on Survivor right through day 39 is probably harder than actually making it to day 39. And they did both.
The only HM I would add would probably be Earl x Yau-Man. They controlled most of the game and the betrayal only happened at the last tribal.
Cochrane and Dawn as a duo give me life. They flopped at the merge one season and then pushed onward to the final 3 during their second chance. The second run they had, as a duo, was iconic because they dissected their favs tribe and the fans tribe; by pulling no punches!
I stand by the fact that Dawn got robbed of a couple votes. I understand that her emotions ended up ruining many of the jury’s opinion of her. But, I believe she was such an instrumental part of getting the votes to go her/Cochran’s way.
@@noahdesrosiers3238agreed! I feel like it’s a crime that Dawn is only with Cochran in “top 3” - emotionally they are the top 2, no question
dawn in caramoan is easily the most annoying player in survivor history
Dawn deserved way more credit than what she got. Cochran even admitted he wouldn't have won had it not been for her doing the heavy lifting@@noahdesrosiers3238
I wonder how much damage they potentially could cause if they were to align from the beginning back in South Pacific
Powerful duos to add to honorable mentions:
Jesse and Cody in 43, Denise and Malcolm in Philippines, Tyson and Gervase in BvW, Parv and Russell in HvV, Aubry and Michele [and Cydney] in Kaoh Rong, Yul and Ozzy in Cook Islands,
I don't think you could really call Yul and Ozzy a duo, although it's been a while. Yul and Becky tho
@@thesuperfan2457 I just found their relationship fascinating bc they didn’t exactly trust each other but also fully knew that they needed each other for their games.
It’s kind of like Adam and Jay in Millennials vs Gen X. Or rather the opposite? It was not a power duo but they respected each other to no end.

THANK YOU Peridiam as always. Needed my survivor fix!! Love your vids as always.
Would love a spin-off of this vid of "Most powerful duos to not win the game".
Can't wait to see YamYam and Carolyn on this list in the future after they both make ftc together again 🤗
It’s really hard to separate the two of them out together and not include Carson. Top trio for sure, but hard to say any two of them were a good duo
Idk I always felt Carson was there but from the beginning it was Yam Yam and Carolyn.@@SoulSurvivor14
Man, for all that has been made about players like Cirie and Rob C. and even Dom being the best to never win, I truly think Amanda might actually have the greatest claim to the throne. Considering how she was always a relevent player in all her seasons and went super super deep I think her bad tribal council performances have sadly sold her short. Knowing she was in on the Ozzy blindside now cements that for me, its a shame she went to final tribal with 2 of the most charismatic players off all time in Todd and Parvati because she'd have run away with her seasons otherwise.
Always agreed Amanda should be in consideration for this.
100% agree. This is something that isn't thought about enough by the casual survivor fan, how important final tribal statements and answers are.
Amanda's problem is that she's just bad at Final Tribal Council. She finished third in China and finished behind Parvati in Micronesia, who got smoked by Sandra in Heroes v. Villains. Amanda would have lost to Cirie (the rightful winner, but she got screwed by the surprise final two, making her one of the two most robbed players ever along with Devon in HHH) also. That being said, if Amanda ever got to the end again and had a better Final Tribal Council performance, she could win.
I think this is why most people still hold Rob C., Cirie, and Malcolm in such high regard because most people assume they wouldn't have had any issue of pleading their case at final tribal. I think that's PROBABLY a good assumption, but maybe not. Amanda had TWO shots and swung and missed on both. I can't see any of Rob C., Cirie and Malcolm losing in FTC twice.
Also damn I had to replay that Amanda walking to vote like ten times, everyone was so jealous they couldn't let someone as unreal beautiful like her win.
Ciera and parchment that says "Laura (mom)"
This video reminding us that Amanda is the eternal bridesmaid of Survivor alongside Russel Hantz.
Since you had your whole series on challenges hacks players did you should do one on hack that could have been done but never were.
Malcom and Denise I'd give them an honorable mention too.
For me, Rob and Amber have yet to be topped. They dominated the first returnee season and get married by the end of it. So it's basically the only season with 2 winners.
Thing is with Tony and Sarah they are lower as a duo than individual results. If you take a duo and calculate how each has done on every season they were in. My guess is that Tony and Sarah might be #1 in that case. Tony in Game Changers would drop it quite considerably. But they are the only duo to have 3 winning seasons between them.
@@classicmiriam Well yeah you're looking at it in terms of individual performance. Rob and Amber as a duo had much more power in their season than Tony and Sarah. It also took Tony and Sarah 3 seasons to stay on the same track since they wanted to betray each other the first times. But on the flip side as an individual Tony ranks as arguably the greatest winner ever.
Rob was the outwardly mastermind
Amber was the stealthy mastermind.
With #1, in an interview years later, Lex said he was willing and planning to go back on the deal he made with Rob to take Amber out, he just couldn’t get the numbers because Kathy wanted to take out Jerri and wouldn’t budge.
I can only wonder how much it changes All-Stars if Lex was able to pull that off. Personally, if Lex was able to take Amber out, I don’t think Rob gets anywhere near Final Tribal. I imagine Rob at least gets revenge for Amber and takes Lex out not long into the merge, but unless he Immunities his way to the end, he probably goes out the first time he isn’t immune.
Honestly, that makes lex look even more hypocritical imo
@@TheOscar401 No, it doesn’t. He knew if Rob & Amber got to the merge together it was going to be a problem so he tried to nip it in the bud and only failed because Kathy wouldn’t budge. According to his interview, he and Kathy discussed it for a couple of hours and in the end he relented and decided to vote Jerri out.
@@NickWuebkerEven if Lex’s reasoning makes sense, he’s still a bit of a hypocrite. He was planning to backstab Rob and get rid of Amber which is fine, but then he’s mad that Rob wants to backstab him. Lex backstabs people and is utterly bitter when others do it to him
@@tmm4195 He also turned on Colby and Ethan who both thought he was on their side. He even tells Ethan he is getting rid of him, just like Rob telling Lex he was going home.
That pic of Parvati and Amanda in the thumbnail 😍 such beauty
So happy to see someone else with this take on Amanda (and made in a much cooler way than I would have)! It drives me crazy that everyone underrates her but that is exactly her superpower so I shouldn't be surprised hahaha.
It then infuriates me because the jury realizes at the end that they underestimated her, and they get mad at her for their own misperceptions. She definitely doesn't do herself any favors but I would actually compare her FTC performances to Tony's. His may have been a little better but he was way too apologetic in Cagayn just like Amanda in China, and he did a terrible job talking up his own game in Winners just like Amanda in Micronesia. He even cried after eliminating Sara just like Amanda with Cirie, but people liked when he did it and thought Amanda was being fake when she did it.
I'm surprised that Cody & Jesse weren't mentioned but given all the years we have to digest the game of all the player on this list, it would be fair to give Cody & Jesse a bit more before we revisit them.
well every duo on this list made the finals together. Cody and Jesse didnt do that
Excited to watch the video. I just know it will be a banger as always
Cody and Jesse in 43 is an honorable mention in my heart
Amanda was in on the Oscar blindside? When did that information come to light? It sounds totally at odds at what was shown on TV and what the Survivor Wiki says: "Knowing Amanda's loyalty to Ozzy, she was left out of the plot. Still oblivious to the plan, Amanda cast her vote for Jason, thinking that he would go home but was shocked when it was Ozzy who was sent home with the idol in his back pocket. "
Either Amanda or Parvati on Rob C's podcast, revealed that Amanda was in on it, and the reason she didn't vote for Ozzy was to continue to build up the good cop everyone saw, also, Ozzy couldn't have played the idol, he revealed he left it at the camp thinking he didn't need it
It’s crazy to me that people can say that Boston Rob and Amber was just a solo performance from Rob when Amber WON - people more people didn’t want Rob to win than did, and yet people think he could’ve done it without her??? Be so real right now
The Coach and his Assistant Coach were the most powerful duo.
I’m pretty sure I heard that Kathy said amber was actually more instrumental into flipping Kathy and lex on jerri.
I’m surprised that Jenna and Heidi from the Amazon weren’t on this list. They were quite impressive together
something about those duos (especially) makes survivor so special
How about Tom and Ian from Palau? Or maybe Jeremy and Spencer from Second chances, although they were a trio with Tasha...
I feel like neleh and paschal deserve some discussion. If the cutoff is duos that made final 2, the only reason they didn’t make that was the totally random rock draw vote taking paschal out (if he didn’t leave here, vecepia is eliminated next and assuming neleh still wins the final elimination she 100% brings paschal. I also think there’s an argument to be made that they never fully understood/weaponized their power, but they did functionally set the standard for any future underdog plays
I like Tasha and Spencer from the brain vs beauty and brawn season, sure they didn't win but they were able to get Tony to vote out his own allies before voting them. So that counts for me.
Yeah, I don’t see any other duo ever knocking Rob and Amber out of this top spot.❤
red phillipe and his feather.
Haven’t watched it yet but I’m predicting (aside from duos in thumbnail) JT/Stephen and Wendell/Domenick are on this list
I think the only other three pairings that could possibly have been on the list (and would have at highest been third) are:
Yau-Man and Earl
Malcom and Denise
Tom and Ian
Maybe some other honorable mentions (could possibly be top 10):
Natalie and Russell
Kim and Sabrina
Chris and EoE
There's lots of Honorable mentions:
Cochran and Dawn
Earl and Yau-Man
Malcolm and Denise
Colby and Tina
Tony and Sarah
Tom and Ian
Rich and Rudy
Rafe and Stephanie
Kim and Sabrina
Tyson and Gervase
Yam Yam and Carolyn
Aras and Cirie
Jesse and Cody
Tommy and Lauren
I don't really see Natalie and Russell as a duo. Foa Foa was a group alliance, Mick and Jaison were equally apart of it and Russell was the one calling the shots 90% of the time. I don't think he and Natalie were specifically working together as a duo
@@nolanrussell6326I'm pretty sure Natalie and Russel had a final two duo. It was like Todd/Amanda
I'd give Kim and Sabrina an honorable mention too.
Gotta give a shoutout to Thal & Tarowsky from Survivor Michigan. They could go toe to toe with any duo in canon Survivor.
How about Sarah and Cooper?? 🤣🤣
So to be a top duo, they both need to make it to the end, and they need to not be in trouble. In the future you will probably never see this again because the power couples are broken up as soon as possible. I could see maybe a returnee season where people had a relationship before, but probably not a newbee season.
For all of the people saying Jesse and Cody, Jesse turned on Cody and Jesse didn't make final 3. And as far as Carolyn and Yam Yam, I think Carson was far more instrumental in them making it to the end.
What about “ex-Federal Agent” Philip Sheppard and “Russell’s nephew” Brandon Hantz?? They were SUCH a powerful dynamic duo 🤍🤍🤍
No it’s Franshesqua
You should do a video on if there was a season with pre-merge boots only, who should return
Glad you realized Tony and Sarah weren't top 5. I would honestly say Tony and Trish were a better duo as Trish was able to pull in the people to give Tony the numbers and Tony would organize the blindsides and then Trish would keep those he blindsided loyal. The best good cop/ bad cop combo.
Earl and Yau Man are probally my favorite duo. They helped get each other the idols so that they could control the rest of the game. By the time people turned against them, it was too late.
A very underrated one is Steph and Rafe. If not for their mistake of taking Danni to final 3 I think they would be more recognized as the powerful duo they were. They really controlled the game and both of them played a part in convincing the others they were safe.
Defintely enough duos for you to do a part 2 of this. And part 3 😂
Tony and Sarah should have been 2nd because if not for the fire making they make final 2. They controlled everything.
JT and Stephen 100%
great list, but you forgot Adam and the podium "idol" lol
Just an idea for a strategy talk video. Is it better to be the good cop or the bad cop? Rich wins as the bad cop Amber wins as the good cop. Parvity wins as the bad cop. Wendell wins as the good cop
My favorite Duo is Sandra and the sit out bench
Hello buddy..please do you know of any site where we can watch the full survivor series?
Please help with it...thank you
I just started the video, but if Yau and Earl aren't on this list I'm going to riot
My 5 in no particular order:
Rich and Rudy
Rob and Amber
Parvati and Amanda
JT and Stephen
Tony and Sarah
The fact that you didn’t even honorably mention Osten and the Pelican from Pearl Island boarders on criminal.
I'd argue Russell and Parvati were much stronger than Parvati and Amanda.
It doesn't matter their relationship was toxic at times.
I think it does matter. A duo isn't that strong if you can't count on them to be on the same page or even not vote you out necessarily. Trust is the strongest aspect of the power duos.
Their relationship was hilarious. They were like a bickering married couple.
Parvati was using Russell though
@@kayevee9673 He was using her too.
No. Russell was out of control paranoid, Parvati and everyone only agreed with him cause they know he’s never gonna win
Are you only making survivor content now? Or just waiting for the new big brother season to start?
Haven’t started the video yet. Don and Wendell should be number one. They both made it to the end and literally tied after running circles around everyone.
I will always maintain that Wendell should've turned on Domenick at Final 6
Parvati was almost voted out on episode three though.
My top 5 would be
Cody and Jesse
Rob and amber
J.t and Stephen
Domnic and Wendell
Cochran and dawn
Not in that order
No order for me but: Tom and Ian Palau, Rob and Amber All Stars, Dom and Wendell Ghost Island, Parv and Amanda Fans Vs Favs, Kim and Sabrina one world. Kim was amazing but Sabrina did a lot too and in almost any other season crushes her competition. Shout out to Earl and Yau Fiji, and Nick and Mike David vs Goliath as well.
"Billy and Candace" lmao
Jeremy & Spencer
JT & Stephen
Wendell & Dom
Todd & Amanda
Tommy & Lauren
Rob & Amber are no question #1. They are the reason and the proof why you need to get rid of a duo. Much love and respect to them.
Tony and Sarah are obviously the best. Malcom/Denise, JT/Stephen and Shan/Ricard are up there too.
You forgot Yul and Ozzy Duo, They destroyed everyone on their path.. 😇
I don't really see them as a duo. They weren't on the same original tribe, then worked against each other at the tribe swap, and only started working together out of necessity when their tribe was decimated to just 4 people. Even then Ozzy was always closer to Sundra and Yul was always closer to Becky. If Ozzy wasn't always immune, Yul probably would've taken him out at Final 4 or 5
George and Cara iykyk
Kenny and Crystal will always be my favorite
1) J.T. and Fishback, 2) Malcolm and Denise, 3) Rodger and Elizabeth, 4) Cody and Jessie, and 5) Carolyn and Yam Yam.
What about Erika and… um… Helen, was it?
Surprised Becky and Yul weren't mentioned. Becky was a major low-key strategist according to Yul himself.
I still say Amanda deserved that win over Parvati. She played it so lowkey but she literally played better than anyone who ever played survivor(Except for Kim and Tony Ofcourse)
Given that they were up against the strongest cast of all time, Tony and Sarah should definitely be on the list if not at the top. And I just can't agree with Rob and Amber at No. 1. Rob had a lot of power in that game, but it's unclear exactly what Amber was doing aside from getting close to Rob. She won that season because Rob did such a bad job of jury management that he lost. I would definitely favor duos where both members were equally important strategically, such as Dom and Wendell and JT and Stephen.
the way I see it amber was basically the one who kept her and rob's alliance together. she was the one who suggested to bring rupert and jenna into their alliance and kept everyone, including big tom and alicia, in each other's good graces (until they were voted out obviously). she also kept a good relationship with the opposing alliance as well (with lex and kathy going into the merge and shii ann before she got voted out). i don't think she's an outwardly strategic player but she definitely covered areas of the game that rob was lacking in. he wouldn't have made it as far without her and vice versa.
I felt Tony and Sarah really only formed as a solid duo when Tony orchestrated the Sophie blindside. Sarah and Sophie looked like they were running the show until that happened.
Rob would not have made FTC without Amber
That’s the problem with male-female duo, the girl will never get credited. That’s what Parvati said to James in Micronesia after the Ozzy blindside.
Jesse and Cody, because they were L-I-V-I-N
Tony and Sarah. They played together 3 times, they won 3 times. Everyone else is playing for second place.
Karishma and Applebees were robbed
Please do trios!
Can we give Amber a Re-edit.
Jesse and Cody are my favourite duo
Naur, not Billy and Candice from Raro tribe.
Where are Jeremy and Natalie??
Brian and Clay, maybe? Burton and Fairplay? Tom and Ian?
To Billy and Candace 🤣😭
Where is Shane and his Blackberry?!?
Dude, you overlooked the most crucial couple! Boston Rob and Jeff!
Come on, we all know Jeff's got a little man-crush. Can't say I blame him. Us Italians are sexy. XD
Wendell/Dom, Fish/JT, Rob/Amber, Earl/Yao, Tyson/Gervase,
My top duos
Malcolm and Denise
Amanda and Parvati
Yul and Becky
Elisabeth and Rodger
Amanda and Todd
Rudy and Richard
JT and Steven
Earl and Yau Man
Malcolm and Denise
What about Yul/Ozzy or Tom/Ian?
The Kenny and Crystal erasure will not be forgotten!
Chrissy and Ryannnn
Earl and Yau-Man has a case.
Now that we already have duos, how about the best trios?
I think Earl And Yau would be the closest to cracking this top 5... but i think the list is fine as is.
I thought Tony and Sarah will easily be no. 1 O-O
Philip and Francesca
Christie and Stacey from South Pacific needs to at least get some mention. They are the only ones who call Coach by his birth name and are not afraid to do so. Not even big bad boy Russell Hantz called Coach by his real name. What was Coach's real name again?
Benjamin Wade
My hot take is Amanda played a better game than Todd in China (up until FTC of course)
Jeremy and Natalie!!!!
Parvmanda ❤
Malcolm and Denise
Gabby and Christian
Cody and Jesse
Tai and Mark the Chicken
Jeff and aging
As much as I can't stand Tommy, I feel like Tommy and Lauren from Island of the Idols deserved at least an honorable mention
I love ya, Peridium but putting a pregamed duo from an all-stars season as number one is such a bad call. The asterisk next to them is so massive.
I will always be more impressed by duos like Wendell and Dom who didn’t know each other before the season started.
