Marquesas Tribe Match 8
Anh-Tuan "Cao Boi" Bui
Season: Cook Islands
Sawyer's Thoughts: Toates's Fav.
v.
Caryn Groedel
Season: Palau
Sawyer's Thoughts: I remember her as being one of the only sources of conflict among the unstoppable Koror Tribe in Palau.
v.
Chase Rice
Season: Nicaragua [2nd Place - Runner up to Judson Birza, 5-4 Vote]
Sawyer's Thoughts: Timid game play through out the season, and then morphed into a surprisingly snarky finalist during his jury performance. It's like it was a whole different person there, but it was also a surprisingly good act and jury performance, when I predicted the worse from him.
Marquesas Tribe Match 9
Ashley Massaro
Season: China
Sawyer's thoughts: Watching her, I think if she'd have lasted longer she would have been a huge character on the show.
v.
Ashlee Ashby
Season: Palau
Marquesas Tribe Match 10
"Skinny" Ryan Shoulders
Season: Pearl Islands
v.
Yasmin Giles
Season: Samoa
Sawyer's Thoughts: "The Wood ain't the Hood"
Marquesas Tribe Match 11
Cassandra Franklin
Season: Fiji [Runner Up to Earl Cole with Dreamz, 9-0-0 Vote]
v.
Ozzy Lusth [CI]
Season: Cook Islands (ONLY!) [2nd Place to Winner Yul Kwon, 5-4 Vote]
v.
Jimmy Johnson
Season: Nicaragua
Sawyer's Thoughts: I adore Coach Jimmy Johnson, even with the small amount of time he spent there. So humble, and honest which was his undoing. He helped keep one of the best contestants on the Show, in Holly Hoffman.
Marquesas Tribe Match 12
Jamie Newton
Season: Guatemala
Sawyer's Thoughts: Quite an unlikable personality, but his testosterone fueled feud with Bobby Jon Drinkard, was Hilarious.
v.
Aras Bauskakas
Season: Panama (Exile Island) [Winner - 1st Place Over Runner Up Danielle DiLorenzo, 5-2 Vote]
Sawyer's Thoughts: I've noticed he's one of the most hated winners, but I didn't mind him much. Out of the top 3, I'd have preferred him to win at the time, anyway (Although Danielle is more adored by me after Heroes vs Villains than she was in Panama.)
Marquesas Tribe Match 13
Tanya Vance
Season: Thailand
v.
Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano ASS
Season: All Stars Season (ONLY) [2nd Place 4-3 Vote, Runner up to Amber]
Sawyer's Thoughts: The season that really made Boston Rob into an All Star and one of the most memorable Survivor Villains ever. Proposed to winner Amber at the Survivor Reunion for this season.
Marquesas Tribe Match 14
Russell Hantz [Samoa]
Season: Samoa (ONLY) [2nd Place - Runner Up over Mick Trimming, but losing to Natalie White, 7-2-0 Vote]
Sawyer's Thoughts: Not gonna lie, Russell was a great character to watch. Sadly it took away from the others this season.
v.
Jessie Camacho
Season: Africa
v.
Tyrone Davis
Season: Nicaragua
Sawyer's Thoughts: Some of the best reaction shots ever on the show.
Marquesas Tribe Match 15
Lydia Morales
Season: Guatemala [Jury - 4th Place]
v.
Corinne Kaplan
Season: Gabon
Sawyer's Thoughts: I think she wanted to be "the villain" of this season due to her bitchy personality. Unfortunately Randy Bailey's character was more real and too unique not to use as the real villain of the season. Her speech to Sugar at FTC was so vile.
v.
Dr. Jill Behm
Season: Nicaragua
Sawyer's Thoughts: I think she would have been a real player in this game if she'd lasted longer. Her mistake, which she admitted to earlier, was letting Marty have the Idol, not anticipating a Tribal Swap.
Marquesas Tribe Match 16
Cirie Fields [Exile]
Season: Panama (Exile Island ONLY) [4th Place]
Sawyer's Thoughts: Probably one of the most influential and effective strategists, this game has ever seen.
v.
John Fincher
Season: Samoa [Merge Jury - Voted Russell Hantz to win]
Sawyer's Thoughts: I liked John early on, but then his actions during the merge annoyed me. The crooked Rocket Scientist was the poison who helped initiate the fall of his own Galu tribe. I found him paranoid about Laura and her girls at the Merge, when it wasn't necessary to yet. Laura and the Galu girls along with Erik aimed to get rid of Russell or Jaison, but once Erik tried to convince Fincher, it was all gone from there. He said "no... listen to me listen to me, LISTEN TO ME. The bottom line is Monica has to go tonight! It would have been Laura, but she won immunuty. Some members of Galu, just want to go down the line Foa, Foa, Foa, Foa. It's like their playing Junior Varsity Survivor right now." Galu could have prevailed with Erik and Laura, but Fincher's convincing told Erik to use the Foa Foa's to get rid of Laura. Honestly that was stupid. The Foa Foa's outnumber the Galu girls, they could have eliminated them later, after they eliminated the Foa Foa Tribe. In the end he ended up voting out Erik instead... arrgghh.
Marquesas Tribe Match 17
Chris Daugherty
Season: Vanuatu. [Winner. 1st Place over Twila, 5 - 2 Vote]
Sawyer's Thoughts: I am simply amazed by his journey on the show. He was the original 1st boot planned after SUCKING soo much in that first challenge costing the guys the victory. The young guys targeted him to keep the tribe strong, but Chris was included into the "Fat 5" to keep the older guys safe and take out the younger guys incase they were next to go. This in the end cost the male tribe their numbers, after losing the youngins. Then at the merge the women took out each of the guys one by one. Except Chris, who lasted soo long as the only guy left. He charmed the women with lies, that they bought into soo badly, to make it into the end. Everyone trusted him, it was unreal. Then at the Jury his performance even earned him the win, despite the BS that he as Scout said "was up to his ears" in. He just knew how to play the social aspects so damn well, even if it was all fake.
v.
Lisi Linares
Season: Fiji
Sawyer's Thoughts: Her jury speech along with Alex was embarrassing.
Marquesas Tribe Match 18
Tyson Apostol [hvv]
Season: Heroes vs Villains (ONLY)
Sawyer' Thoughts: He pulled one of the stupidest moves I've ever seen in the game, EVER. Boston Rob laid out a full proof plan, and he ruined it by voting for Parvati instead of Russell, cause he thought he'd be a genius for it. To quote Danielle's amusement. - "What the heck just happen?!"
v.
Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano [hvv]
Season: Heroes vs Villains (ONLY)
Sawyer's Thoughts: Hero Rob? My God. Honestly he was great this season and edited positively. He almost took out Russell had it not been for Tyson's blatant stupidity, that cost Boston Rob his entire majority alliance.
Marquesas Tribe Match 19
Jonathan Penner [CI]
Season: Cook Islands (ONLY!)
Sawyer' Thoughts: "That's Bollocks! And you know it."
v.
Courtney Yates[hvv]
Season: Heroes vs Villains (ONLY!)
Sawyer's Thoughts: "BREAK HER ARM!" ^_^
Marquesas Tribe Match 20
Daniel Lue
Season: Amazon
Sawyer's Thoughts: I think it should have been he, not Ryan Aiken, to be eliminated first, due to his total "fail" at the first challenge.
v.
Stephenie LaGrossa [S10]
Season: Palau (ONLY!) [Last Ulong Tribe Member standing, although it didn't last long after the "merge"]
Marquesas Tribe Match 21
Russell Hantz[hvv]
Season: Heroes vs Villains (ONLY) [3rd Place - Lost to Sandra and Parvati, 6-3-0 vote]
Sawyer's Thoughts: More detestable than his original season, but he did make some good t.v. Good thing it didn't take away as much from the other contestants as it did in Survivor Samoa: The Russell show Ft. Shambo.
v.
Kim Powers
Season: Africa
v.
Kelly Bruno
Season: Nicaragua
Sawyer's Thoughts: Upset that her entire story arch was all about her leg. I think she'd have wanted more than everything having to be about her leg. But with the young vs old split she ended up in a tribe full of youngins who couldn't see past her leg and were threatened she would win... on the FIRST day.
Marquesas Tribe Match 22
Jessica "Sugar" Kiper [gabon]
Season: Gabon [3rd Place - Lost to Bob and Susie in a 4-3 Vote]
Sawyer's Thoughts: Was the first very clear Editor focused "Star" of a survivor season, which led to a focus on Coach in Tocatins, and Russell Hantz in Samoa. She was a great character, in an already very diverse and great cast. She played super emotionally instead of with her brain, and orchestrated several moves to save Bob and take out people she didn't like. I think she was aiming for Fan Fave, which she lost - to Bob. However I also really like her opponent...
v.
Crystal Cox
Season: Gabon
Sawyer's Thoughts: "Eat Yo Rice!"
First to FOUR Wins.
