Now, I shall have a top Ten females who I personally will say the should come back. No returning players have been females (Not counting Steph on Guatemala) that is not Fans Vs. Favorites, or an All-Stars seasons. After you read this I dare you to turn around and call me out on this. I dare you. I'm sick of Probst man-crush on every buff dude that has returned. I hate Ozzy, I hate Russell, I hate Rob. Coach was random as hell, but I was not a fan.
Before I say the list, I'm not including people from One World/ Philippines. I haven't seen the seasons yet, but I would have put Kim on here in a heartbeat. I just haven't seen her gameplay yet. If you think someone should be on this list, go ahead an comment, E-mail, Tweet, whatever. THIS IS NOT A TOP TEN LIST! It's in no order. I've also included five alternates, who could be switched out, and four of my personal favorites that I feel like could appear as well.
The Black widow of the game. I have to chose Jerri for this list. She is one of my favorite players, but I could see her one the show for a fourth time, with Colby of course. She was the original female villain, before Corrine, before Ami, before every female villain that has been edited. Even though she has been on three times, and each had her on the jury (Although I may be wrong when it came to AS, I'm not 100% sure) I would prefer her over Ozzy any day.
2. Ami Cusack- Vanuatu/Fans vs. Favorites
Another Female Villain, she's a very good game player. She was meant to go on Amazing Race, but she ended up on Survivor. I must mention this because she never really watched much Survivor and then she played a great game. I can see her on a game, and she was a strong female player. She had the original female alliance that Parvati perfected. She even won challenges, and was a legit physical threat. Her only downside was trying to vote out Eliza over Chris, which saw the blindside of Leann and caused her alliance to crumble.
3. Eliza Orlins- Vanuatu/Fans Vs. Favorites
She's smart, strong woman and one of my all time favorite survivors. Eliza is a long time fan of the show and at the time she was the youngest survivor of all time, apply just after her 21st birthday. I believe it wasn't before Frosti that anyone younger was on the show, three years later. She was the original plucky girl, before Stephanie, stuck in a season where everyone wanted her out yet escaping by the skin of her teeth, then coming back in FVF then seeing a repeat of this. She's one of the smartest castaways as well as being a physical threat, as long as she doesn't have to catch pigs or deal with anything involving sticks with smiley faces on them.
4. Parvati Shallow- Cook Islands/Fans Vs. Favorites/ Heroes Vs. Villains.
5. Sandra Diaz-Twine- Pearl Islands/ Heroes Vs. Villains
Like I could leave out Sandra, the first and only two time winner in Survivor history. I call her the best Survivor ever because of this. Flying under the radar, however still retaining her loud mouth and attitude, Sandra is a unique person. Notable for standing up against the major villain for each of her seasons (Fairplay and Russel) Sandra has a strategy of the as long as it ain't me, and it worked twice. She had the mouth of a sailor, and is an interesting person to see on TV.
6. Cirie Fields- Exile Island/ Fans Vs Favorites/ Heroes Vs. Villains
One of the best players never to win, Cirie is a very smart, very popular and very likable. She had FVF in her bag if it had been a three person final tribal rather than two. Known for the various blindsides in FVF, she was a dangerous member of the Black Widow Brigade and fully convince Erik to give up Immunity. She's an amazing player that was so strong, she was Idoled in HVsV or being such a strong player. If Boston Rob got a season that was set up for him, she should have one too.
The first female survivor winner, Tina played the strategic card, and the shining example of the strategy bets full on domination in challenges. Coby took her out of loyalty, costing him the game. She has the head of the alliance with him and tricked Kimmi into reveling who had the most votes on her tribe, breaking the tie back where previous votes broke a tie. While Cody played a strong game, the lovable Tina won it all. She was voted out first because of the targeting of past winners.
8. Stephenie LaGrossa- Palau/Guatemala/Heroes Vs Villians
An exception to the "Only returns are male" rule, Stephenie is a challenge winner. On the worst tribe ever in Palau, and being separated form a day one alliance, she was the last person standing on Ulong. Beating her fellow Ulong tribe mate Bobby John in a fire building contest, she was absorbed into Korror instead of an official Merge. She returned in Guatemala, pulling a better game, although losing to Danni because Stephenie burned too many bridges on the way. Her reputation of her bad luck followed her in HvsV, being the second hero voted out after suffering a dislocated shoulder in the first challenge.
What is Sophie doing on this list you ask? Well, she is a strong competitor in challenges she played the high and mighty coach in FTC, and she flew under the radar, not pissing people off as badly as Coach and his Brazil sized ego. She won challenges, she beat Ozzy, and she is a favorite of mine. Send all the hate mail to me, she's a deserving winner. If only the editors didn't screw her with as little screen time as possible, giving it to Ozzy and Coach, I'm sure all of her hatedom would be reduced.
10. Peih-Gee Law- China
Why the hell wasn't she asked back for FvF, I mean Amanda? Come on! Peih-Gee was the member standing on her tribe, but fought back, winning two challenges back to back, and would have won if she made it to the end. Also a fan favorite, as well as having a villain edit, she came up with the plan to throw a challenge to vote off Aaron. She took part in two major blindsides, and feuded with James. If her plan to take out Todd worked, she would have been the winner of Survivor China.
That's not all, I'll include five honorable mentions to seal the deal on this.
Natalie White- Samoa
She is the sole survivor of Samoa, and played Russell at the FTC. Like Sophie, she had the under the radar edit, and was the mastermind of the blindside of Erik, who was the strongest supporter of Natalie. Despite being seen as the lesser of two evils, she deserved to win. I will defend Nat to the end, forever, as being someone who should get more credit than she deserves.
Natalie Bolton- Fans Vs. Favorites
Who could forget the moment where Erik handed over Immunity to his friend Natalie. She convenced him to hand over the necklace, is a part of the Black Widow Brigade, yet never been back on. As the last fan standing, she is a cleaver player, however the editiors seemed to forget the quiet Natalie until her involvement with Parvati, but her jury question is a fun moment is Survivor history.
Shii Ann Huang- Thailand/All-Stars
Famous for thinking that a fake merge happened and was voted out because of that, she was the only person form her season to return for All-Stars, where she played a better game. She was asked back for HVsV, but she just gave birth to a baby, so she declined. Shii Ann played a repeat, similar to what happened to Eliza, outcast on both her seasons, though in All Stars, she fought to the end, casting a throw away vote for Amber, naming her the biggest threat to win it all, as well as being the deciding vote for her at the end.
Jenna Morasca- Amazon/All-Stars
Stripped for chocolate and Peanut butter, Jenna also happened to win her season as well as going on an immunity streak. She was a strong competitor, who was asked back to All-Star. She left the game to spend time with her dying mother. She is notable for being the youngest female winner, and the youngest until Fabio took the title.
Courtney Yates- China/Heroes Vs Villains
The mean girl of her season, and every season past. I compare her to Coach as the girl that won a few challenges because a feather weighs more than her, but she has great fun moments of her insulting people. Formed a friendship with Sandra, joked about breaking Stephanie's arm and other great moments is why she should be in another Survivor. At let her do commentary.
So, a great amount right there. How about a look at some of my favorites who I would be overexited to be back in an All-stars, but I wouldn't expect them to be alone on a season.
Erinn Lobdell- Tocantins
The second coming of Eliza with more of a sarcastic snippy side. Erinn is the one bagging on Coach being a Jackass, an accountant from Nebraska, and other things. She said what we wanted to say to Coach. Also the outs on her tribe, like Eliza, she fought for her survival, and outlasted the rest of her tribe, coming in third.
Michelle Yi- Fiji
She got screwed by a twist, got her tribe fire, and fell in a calling challenge. Michelle is a strong player. She auditioned for the Amazing Race, but was picked for Survivor instead. She was very popular, and was even on the DVD box even though she was voted out at the merge. She was a strong player, physical and mental, and is someone who I would love to see once again.
Susie Smith- Gabon
She was pegged as a coattail rider, yet she pulled off Immunity wins. Susie made herself a free vote, being that one vote that sent people home. She has a strategy like Sandra, as long as it wasn't me, though her coattail riding is what made her come in second. She is a huge fan of Survivor as well, and this knowledge no doubt helped her.
Amy O'Hara- Guatemala
I love Amy. She was my first favorite Survivor contestant. If she didn't F up her ankle she would have made it further, and even though she did, she was never a hindrance for her tribe. She was going to be Candice's replacement for HVsV, she changed her mind again. I took the picture from Survivor Oz, and her interview there must be heard. I would flat out die if she came back on the show again.
Well, that is all. This was a beast to type up too. Now, I know I left off a few, but the ten where just the ones that popped in my mind whenever someone says that there where no strong females. I would never list all of them, though Kelly Bruno, Twila, and Dani are just the ones I'm thinking of that I left off of example. The last four are some of my favorites that I wanted to sneak in, that I'm sure other's will agree too. Feel free to comment, talk to me on Twitter, or E-mail me at HeatherNS17@ymail.com. All feedback will be considered. Remember- Heather for season 27/28!
