Rob's note to self: buddy system great for newbies, not so great for proven winners.

Sophie’s signature move was her final tribal council speech where she called Coach a little girl.

Tony best play: speaks llama. 🤣

To this day i still think about the fact that Woo was seconds away from winning.

Adams idol play is def the best move ever on winners at war 😂💀

I think Nick’s alliance’s move to split the minority move was one of if not the greatest in history. It was well executed and the only time in survivor history where a minority alliance split the votes and won

I loved Tony’s “bag of tricks” he brought with him to every tribal

The amount of almost unrecognized shade in this video is great. “fan favorite game changer sierra dawn thomas” “we love to see people winning on their third shot”

Michele is the only person I’ve ever seen who can be on the outside of the majority and survive because of how socially aware she is. Also providing clutch immunity idols and wins all while also taking power players out. Severely underrated

Sophie’s move was the “Ozzy’s pleasure dome” argument that forced Brandon to Redemption instead of her.

That wasn't Amber's defining move. Her defining move was securing swing-vote Shii-Ann by befriending her when the rest of Rob's alliance alienated her.

Kim's move against Jay is RUTHLESS and one of my favorite of all time

Tony's gameplay is INSANE and i love it. we haven't gotten to see much of it this season though

The only thing that I kind of bothered with new school players and new fans of the show is how easily they discredit and mock old school players who are literally iconic players who are essential and made the show as it is today. I don't know about you but I am a fan since 2000 I was there during the hype of all stars!

Sandra: Anybody but me Rob: Buddy system Jeremy: Meat shield Sophie: Remain majority Tony: Bag of tricks Michele: Abandon sinking ship Natalie: Right time revenge Ben: Secrets remain a secret Tyson: Single system Sarah: Advantage play

Yul's real best move. Taking out the ONE player who realized how to beat his super idol. The man the myth the legend, Cowboy with plan Voodoo. Cowboy told Yul about this strategy to beat the super idol and Yul then targeted him before he could spread this idea to others.

"Wendell is one of the best social players" that didn't age well 😂

I think the reason Sandra's game flies under the radar is because of how good she is. she finds the weak point of the people running the show, then uses it to get them to make a move that sends them home, but they don't even realize because they think it was their own fault when really Sandra moved all the chess pieces to make it happen. she's better than people give her credit for

“Please don’t flame out early” he says to Tony, man he must’ve loved winners at war

Wow Tony totally won with the Meat Shield strategy in Winners at War, I didn’t realize it was pioneered by Jeremy. So effective being the second biggest threat when everyone is constantly thinking about who they don’t want to sit next to at the end

I really just want the unedited hours of footage of Tony convincing Woo to take him the the end.

Sophie's signature move is definitely convincing Coach to vote out Brandon. The "Ozzy's Pleasure Dome" argument deserves more attention!!

Danni was brilliant. She was down in numbers at the merge, and instead of trying to target the top dogs (Rafe and Steph) while they were picking her allies off one by one, she cozied up to them and it saved her. Absolutely brilliant.

20:25 good to see that move get proper credit, because had Sarah not gotten the Legacy Advantage she would have been voted out.

I feel as though Danni doesn't get enough credit as the first meta-gamer in Survivor, and i'm genuinely shocked it's not a strategy we hear even in post game interviews as something being used. Danni had almost a purple edit in Guatemala because in her words, she would ramble in confessions, making them unusable, and causing production to ask her more questions. She did this because she realized that all the questions to prompt confessionals were related to the strategic games being played, so she used production to get more information and give none.

An underrated part of Rob's win on Redemption Island was spelled out be Natalie at the reunion - they didn't show too much of it, but she credited him with forming a really strong, personal connection with pretty much everybody on the island. Even when it's smart to vote somebody out, it's difficult to do it on a personal level when you see that person as a good friend. He played an incredible social game.

I literally never thought about how if Sandra didn’t do that to Coach she would’ve been voted off

Natalie Anderson is one of my favorite winners of all time. Her careful timing for the perfect strike could not have gone better! And the fact that she orchestrated so many final vote outs, and still got the most votes, iconic!!

Amber was saved because of the deal Rob made with Lex. She didn't have to do anything. Her key move was aligning with Rob.

"Please don't flame out early" well I have some good news for your past self lol

Sophie’s biggest move: crying at the final 5 tribal. Hear me out, the savaii only saw that upolu was heartless(and more) and when they saw Sophie cry, it made her more human than the others. That’s what her biggest move is. Honorable mention: her convincing coach to get out Brandon

Something that makes Nick's win even more impressive is the fact that, if not for a player getting medically evacuated, he would have been the 1st boot

Wow, you just brought back a memory i didnt know I had. For context my mom passed away back in 2015, so one of the last seasons of survivor we watched together was Tony's season. Talking llama became a really big joke around my house, we even had this chalkboard in our kitchen that said 'Talking Llama Cafe'. Thanks for reminding me about that..

I would say Sophie’s best move was her FTC performance. I feel like it doesn’t matter what game she plays, if she makes it to the end, she will convince you she played the best game ever.

Well, I mean, for Sophie, why would you make a move when you were on a very direct road to winning? There was no need, she was gonna win no matter what, she won immunity when she needed to, she let people around her make moves that'll piss the jury off, and WaW is proving she can play hard, even if she doesn't win, she's gonna be known for playing one of the best games among the winners

“Fan favorite game changer Sierra Dawn-Thomas” 😂😂😂💀💀

I think Ethan's best move was throwing the challenge after the swap to protect Lex and Tom and eliminate a big threat (Silas).

I feel like Michele's move that won her the game was taking our Neil with the remove a jury member advantage -- If Neil is there, Aubry gets his vote so it's 5-3, but I'm positive his praise of her game could sway at least one more person, resulting in a tie, and if that was the case Tai votes for Aubry to win as the finalist not in the tie

I'd love to see a video like this for the remaining winners who weren't on WaW!

Adam's biggest move was convincing Ken to break his code of honor and vote out David. If David had gotten to the end he would have beaten Adam.

I can't believe your videos don't have more views, they're fantastic! Keep up the good work, I am sure that the rest of the survivor community will catch up eventually :)

One of Tonys greatest moves was turning his alliance against AJ by giving him true infos without evidence which made AJ looked like a paranoid madman. That was some sick mob boss move right there.

I still think about the fact that Wu lost the game by winning the final immunity challenge

I'm pretty sure the Ozzy blindside should be credited to Cirie and not Parv.

Thanks for this one!! I needed this run down on the Winners

Cracks me up watching this after winners at war: “Don’t vote Tony out early”

After Tony’s episode to get Sophie out, he has the new best move in the history of the game imo

I haven’t watched survivor in years but am loving your channel! Maybe I’ll have to check this season out because Yul was my fave winner

Sophie took out Brandon and made sure the Upolu 5 didn’t separate because coach and Albert wanted to make moves

Winners at War Signature Moves For (mostly) Every Player thus far ========================================================= - Natalie: Continuously acquiring fire tokens on the island that led her to be the single richest player on Edge at the time - Amber: Uh... I don't know... maybe giving her fire token to Rob (her husband) - Danni: I don't know... - Ethan: His heroic moment of pushing through the log challenge until the completion - Tyson: Peanut Butter... and getting himself back into the game then playing low the first eviction of merge - Rob: Being able to make a tribe of all winners remain silent for an entire day leading up to tribal (tho that was also his downfall). Also making a full tribe of winners dump out their bags at tribal in front of everyone in attempt to find who has the idol. - Parvarti: Selling a 50/50 idol to Michelle for 4 fire tokens (which Michelle should've never taken) - Sandra: She didn't do much other than successfully sit out of every single competition in the game (or at least those shown on the show) - Yul: Organizing the idea of the poker alliance that ultimately got Amber and Tyson voted out. - Wendel: Playing into the idea that Michele and Wendel had a toxic relationship outside the game, while secretly working together the entire time. A brilliant coverup of an alliance. - Adam: Attempting to grab an idol that was supposedly located in Tribal in front of everyone... wish it was real... ========================================================= - Ben: Calling adam out before and during tribal to be seen as a distraction while everyone around them was deciding on who would ultimately be voted out. - Denise: ... you know what she did ... a truly epic vote out of the Queen "sandra" herself with her one and only vote. - Jeremy: Orchestrating the blindside of Rob and Adam by voting out Ethan instead. - Kim: Getting the target off of her back and hiding back into the background after clearly being on the outs for the first few days in the game. - Michele: (same as Jeremy) - Nick: honestly no idea... - Sarah: Playing both sides while alining closely both Sophie and Tony. Laying low even tho she had one of the biggest target during interviews before playing. - Sophie: Essentially being the one person calling all the shots without anyone realizing it in the process. - Tony: Laying low and keeping a target off his back even with being one of the most infamous winners in survivor history.

You do such a good job, and you’re so funny. Thanks for getting me through the pandemic.

Love the videos. I can’t ever get enough survivor so thank you for the content.

I just wanted to comment and say that your work on these videos is very good and very much appreciated! I've been looking for survivor analysis videos of any sort for months and this is easily one of the best three channels out there (rivalling Peridiam and Once Upon An Island). I don't understand how you don't have more views and subscribers because you definitely deserve more! I hope you start to rack up more soon as your work is very good and I hope you get more views/subscribers soon.

Awww poor Sophie, Lol. And that is the reason why she went into Season 40 with a massive chip on her shoulder and was looking to pull off some big moves.

I appreciate this video because it shows that every winner did something right to get to the end and win the game. Regardless of what happened or what will happen in Winners at War, despite some pathetic attempts in the comments, no one can take that away from them.

“Don’t flame out early” The winner of Survivor Winners at War…TONY!!!

Such a helpful refresher. TY!

Ethan's biggest and best move is clearly throwing the challenge for Boran to gain the upper hand on both tribes after the first swap of all time that nobody knew how to deal with! It was historic and set the end game!

Denise's signature move was convincing Lisa and Skupin to vote Abi out at final five when they should have gotten rid of Denise

Need more great Survivor channels like yours. Keep it up!

I love how Tony Vlachos used Jeremy's meat shield strategy to win Winners at War. He also instituted his Spy Nest and social game of awesome likability to become, in my opinion, the best Survivor player of all time: the B-SPOAT.

Great video. Keep it coming!

Yul, a personal favorite, was the mob boss of his season

I like the way you described things. It almost justifies those "winners" who probably should not have won based on the editing footage us viewers saw. People like Sophie, Natalie, Sarah(It's Lacina now). I can justify Sandra's first win at Pearl Islands because Lil was a trainwreck and everyone else cannibalized eachother, but the second time probably should have been Parvati. I would like to see someone make a video that dissects each controversial season's winner by backtracking to what possibilites could have happened to avoid it. Though half were just bitter juries.

Sandra is so underrated because she took out a lot of America's sweethearts. She's strategic and socially amazing.

I feel like the whole survivor all stars situation would’ve been solved very easily. If at the challenge at the tribe swap, Robs tribe threw the challenge, they could’ve voted off the one in the minority so they’d still go into the merge with numbers and the jury wouldn’t despise rob. Then rob would probably win because the elimination order would probably be the same

Tony.....please don’t flameout early LOL

Great analysis man!

I've honestly been rooting for Tony all season, especially NOW.

Great video!

Sophie has one of the strongest FTC performance. She dragged coach to the mud.

Those winner portraits are really good

Really well made video! Keep it up!

so glad tony is still going strong in season 40! great video.

Yul was the freaking Godfather/Mob Boss in Cook Islands. He was putting out hits left and right using the idol.

Why doesn't Kim get any respect from other players? Season 24 was the 3rd most dominant season ever (behind Rob's 22 and Tony's 28) and yet no one was scared of her on 40.

My favorite season in the last couple years. So much nostalgia, cbs capitalized on it.

I love Tony, he’s the best and soooo fun to watch

Danni messed up her face I didn't recognize her the 1st time they show her on s40 then I saw her old pic and remembered her.

“please don’t flame out early” tony heard you and said lemme get the spy nest now

Parvatis best move was also in HvV with the double idol olay

Adam never did convinced Will to flip on the majority alliance of Zeke. It was a move credited to the man himself.

I remember Adam's season. I loved David! I remember liking Ben as well. He was great!

"Please don't flame out early" WELL DO I HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU!

Sarah ALSO saw a secret advantage meant for Mykayla and took it before she could see it. THEN USED IT TO GET MYKAYLA OUT

It’s kinda poetic Nadiya was first boot then her sister Natalie won she then was the first boot only to become the first first boot to be a runner up

You should make a video that breaks down each advantage and shows the best use of that advantage.

Why am i watching this i don’t even watch survivor

Everyone said Sandra won Pearl Islands, because she sticked to a strong player. But she had ideas, and then, when there was space, she totally ruled the game. At first, she took Dara to spy on Burton and John, she got Burton blindsided by she blindsided all of them one by one then and as last, she still seemed like a weak player, so Lil took her to final 2. Genius!

This was well-researched

Ben's biggest move was being production's favorite.

It looked like Ben was given idols,he was a controversial winner for a reason,Even past players commented on his winning. Survivor did something unprecedented with him I believe-he found an idol Off camera 🙄😕😕 Please

Sophie’s iconic move was ozzy’s pleasure dome

Awesome videos, do a video on Shane Powers!

Adam 18:44 - Convincing an enemy (Will) to flip to get the numbers back at Final 9 and then voting out that same person at the next tribal Amber 3:34 - Escaping being voted out after being handed the most unfavorable tripe swap possible Ben 20:49 - Idol play at Final 7 when everyone voted for him Boston Rob 9:20 - Buddy System Danni 4:19 - Socially maneuvered into an alliance with power players, including Rafe and then eliminating him at final 3 Denise 12:53 - Voting out the girls to position herself as the #1 ally of both Russell and Malcolm Ethan 1:07 - Aligning with Lex and Big Tom Jeremy 16:44 Meat shield strategy Kim 11:32 - Votes Jay out after Jay confides in her that Troyzan is plotting against her and flushes out Troyzan's idol Michelle 17:50 - Abandoning a sinking ship and joining the majority alliance by voting out Julia Natalie 16:07 Waiting to strike and vote out John until Final 6. Eliminating the other alliance first. Nick 22:34 Collaborating with his alliance to use idol on Christian and split the minority vote at Final 12 Parvati 6:42 - Blindsiding Ozzy Sandra 2:22 - Rallying together Darrah and Lil to blindside Burton at final 5 Sandra (HvV) 8:10 Feeding a false rumor to a paranoid Russel that Coach wants him out. This takes the target off of her and Courtney. Sarah 19:48 - Voting Sierra out and getting Sierra to will the legacy advantage to her Sophie 10:05 - Not making a move and convincing her alliance to not be gamebots ("making unnecessary moves for the sake of being flashy") Tony 14:39 - Convincing Woo to take him to the Final 2 Tyson 13:56 - Joining the singles and getting the pairs voted out Wendell 21:37 - Forming friendship with Laurel and Dominick Yul 5:41 - Getting Penner to jump ship and join his alliance at Final 9 when the Aitu 4 were outnumbered

I think it’s even more impressive that Malcolm thought Russel would vote for Denise at the Final 15.

Yeah, those are pretty impressive moves

Yul was so op he got banned lmaoo

Kinda wanna see a video like this for this winners who didn't make the cut for 40, like Tina Wesson and that guy from edge of extinction

Tony’s my favorite on winners at war
