On Survivor Rankings, the variance of Survivor, and where winners could have lost
Preface: I originally intended this as an original r/survivor post, but it got too long. SPOILERS: If you do not wish to know how any of the first 29 seasons of Survivor went, or how Survivor Oz's rankings of Survivor players up to that point (done around the start of 2015) went, do not read this post. I've been getting back into Survivor for the past few weeks, and listening through Survivor Oz's pre-Worlds-Apart rankings of every Survivor player up to that point (yes, I listened to all of it in the past week) was really illuminating- particularly in the end, where it really exposed a strange attitude that seems prevalent in the Survivor community. The worst winner (Natalie White) came in at number 40. Given that there were 442 Survivor players at this point, this means they thought the worst winner of Survivor was better than roughly ten out of eleven of the other players, and more than 97% of the non-winners. The best non-winner (Cirie) came in at number 20. Thi
