Chillin' Like A Villain
Season |
Winner |
Notes |
Now many people would argue that Richard was a bigger villain but Richard never back-stabbed any of his alliance or attempted to, until he was turned on first. Susan had a plan from the get-go. She told Richard they were Final Two but that was a lie and behind his back, she told Kelly that they were Final Two. In the end, she gave the most hate-filled Jury speech of all time. |
||
Jerri is known as the first villainous of Survivor, as well as the black widow of Survivor. While Jerri never technically backstabbed anybody, she proved herself a villain by her attitude and her camp life, like accusing Kel of smuggling beef jerky and beating down Keith and Tina for very little things. |
||
Lex may have been aligned with the biggest hero, Ethan, but Lex ran things like the mafia, targeting anyone who even sent him a throw away vote. Lex talked about "cutting people's throats" and backstabbed an ally, Kelly, for even assuming that she voted for him, which she hadn't. |
||
John Carrol |
John played a villain game, even though he tried to make himself seem like a hero. He backstabbed Gabriel and lied to Paschal, Kathy and Neleh, getting him this award. |
|
Even though Brian had a good face at the beginning, he quickly showed his true colors as a criminal mastermind, telling Ted, Helen, Jan and Clay all that they were in a Final Two alliance and blindsided three of them but still managed to get the winning vote because he took Clay with him, who was universally hated. |
||
Rob made a name for himself as the person who played the best strategic game seen at the time when he played in The Amazon. However, that play consisted of Rob turning on every ally that he had and manipulating the other players like Matthew and Butch to do his bidding. |
||
Fairplay is one of the most notorious villains in Survivor history. From lying about the death of his grandmother, to backstabbing his closest allies, Fairplay was definitely a villains villain. |
||
Boston Rob and Amber fell in love on Survivor, as were the first alliance formed during this season. They stuck together for the entire game, turning on everybody they gave their word to until they made it to the end, leaving the torches of Lex, Kathy, Alicia and Tom in their wake as they made it to the Final Two, got engaged and won a million dollars. |
||
Twila definitely does not look like the typical villain but she pulled some villainous moves. I mean, she swore on her son's life to Leann and Ami that she was win them, right before helping to blindside Leann. |
||
Coby Archa |
There weren't really any villains in this season, but Coby did act like a villain, at least for the time he was in the game. |
|
Okay, I know that Stephenie was put on the "Heroes" Tribe in Heroes vs. Villains, but she played like a villain in Guatemala. She backstabbed three of her closest allies, Jamie, Judd and Cindy, getting herself to the end, where she lost because of her villainous tendencies. |
||
The reason Danielle was a villain is because she made many promises that she backed down from. She made deals with Terry to blindside key members of her alliance and then didn't do it. She also helped Aras and Cirie in blindsiding Courtney and Shane before they thought it was their time. Also, Terry helped Danielle win the firemaking challenge against Cirie and in return, she was supposed to take him to the Final Two, which she didn't do, taking Aras instead and rightfully losing because of it. |
||
Jonathan is for sure a villain for one simple reason. He turned on every alliance he had during the game. He turned on his original alliance with Yul and others when he Mutinied to the other Tribe. Then, after the Merge, he turned on the Tribe that he had Mutinied to by flopping back to Yul, which ultimately got him the boot earlier than he would have. |
||
When Yau Man won the car challenge, he offered it to Dreamz, with the stipulation that, if Dreamz won the last Immunity, he would give it to Yau Man. Dreamz readily agreed, but when he won the Final Immunity Challenge, he did not give it to Yau Man and made it to the Final Three himself, with Yau Man getting voted out. This was definitely a villainous move. |
||
Todd was definitely a villain. He was the leader of his alliance after the Merge. He manipulated the numbers and soon blindsided two of his own alliance, Jean-Robert and James, taking out two power players, as well as two Hidden Immunity Idols. He then took his remaining three allies to the Final Four and ended up winning the game for his excellent strategic play. |
||
After the Merge, Parvati formed one of the most powerful alliances in Survivor history, the Black Widow Brigade. Using them, she backstabbed and blindsided anyone she could to get her and Amanda into the Final Two. |
||
Ken, and his partner-in-crime Crystal, were definitely the villains of the game. They manipulated and backstabbed everyone that they needed to in order to get down to the Final Six. |
||
Coach wasn't your typical villain, as he always preached about playing with honesty and integrity, However, his entire demeanor of the stories and his half-truths just made him unbearable. |
||
Russell is one of the top three Villains in Survivor history, along with Jonny Fairplay and Parvati Shallow, but Russell is probably the top, as he went out of his way to make his Tribemates miserable so that he could control them better. |
||
Russell and Parvati ran the game from Day 1, even turning on their closest ally, Danielle, they showed the true colors of a Villain. |
||
Sash definitely played the part of the villain more than anyone. Sash didn't really turn on anyone, like the typical villain. However, he did take accept Marty's Hidden Immunity Idol and then helped vote him out. He also lied his butt off to everyone in the game, which is why he didn't receive any Jury votes. |
||
Rob, once again, played the perfect villainous game. He turned on everyone that he perceived as a threat, before they could turn on him, like Matt, Andrea and Ashley, ruling his alliance like a gang boss. |
||
During this season, Coach played a much different game than in the past. He was much less eccentric and more like a kingpin. He led his alliance and used people like Cochran, Brandon and Edna to get himself to the end. |
||
Kim played a cut-throat game from the start, putting a knife into the backs of almost everyone who aligned with her, including Mike, Jay, Troyzan, Kat and Alicia, but she still managed to win the game because they respected her superior strategy. |
||
Abi-Maria Gomes |
Abi was rude, obnoxious and a bully throughout the game, and that's all that you can say about it. |
|
Phillip created and led the "Stealth R Us" alliance and led them to great heights before an early blindside, thanks to the use of two Hidden Immunity Idols in one Tribal Council. |
||
Tyson led the game from the start and backstabbed some of his closest allies to get there, like Aras and Tina, as well as Caleb, who was actually coming for him first. |
||
Tony was called the "mafia boss" by Kass, because he ran the game like one. Any time someone was a threat to Tony or came at Tony, they found themselves out of the game. |
||
Jon and Jaclyn were in the middle for most of the game, stuck between alliances. However, when they did make alliances, they eventually turned on them, like when they blindsided Jeremy. |
||
Will Sims II |
Will wasn't a villain because of his gameplay, he was a real life villain from the moment her verbally attacked Shirin and rendered the girl to tears on multiple occasions. |
|
Not the typical villainous gameplay but Spencer did blindside some of his closest allies, like Stephen and Joe. |
||
There is no better example of a villain than the combination of Jason and Scot. After Cydney and the girls turned on them and voted out Nick, Jason and Scot went on a tear, pouring water into the fire and hiding their tools. |
||
Bret LaBelle |
Bret was loud and obnoxious and would personally attack other players, like David, when he didn't agree with their strategies, definitely villainous behavior. |
|
In her words, the first time Sarah played, she played like a cop. The second time, she played like a criminal. Sarah played the game a lot like her old "Cops R Us" alliance mate, Tony Vlachos. She backstabbed and switched from alliance to alliance. The most villainous thing she did, though, was when Sierra told Sarah that she had the Legacy Advantage and was going to will it to Sarah if she got voted out. Knowing this, Sarah orchestrated Sierra's blindside and acted shocked when it happened so that Sierra willed her the Legacy Advantage. |
||
Joe Mena |
Joe was a bully, plain and simple. His main strategy was to make himself so unlikable that people wanted to take him to the end because they could beat him. However, it just made people want to get rid of him and he was eventually blindsided. |
|
Dom isn't your typical villain archetype, but he was viewed as a "Godfather" type by many and did seem to push his weight around a little as he got overconfident. |
||
Angeline Keeley |
Okay, Angelina was a villain, she created a fake Hidden Immunity Idol just for the purpose of embarrassing another person on national television. |
|
After the Merge, Ron led the Kama alliance, the majority alliance and had a villainous persona. Even after getting turned on, he still managed to stay in the spotlight and get himself back into the leadership role before finally being blindsided by one of his closest allies, Gavin. |
||
Dean was a self-professed villain later in the game, as he got information from Tommy and used it to find a Hidden Immunity Idol despite promising Tommy that he would give him the Idol, as well as his constant Jury management. |
||
In the modern-day gameplay of Survivor, almost everybody plays a "villainous" game, with lying and backstabbings happening almost every episode. However, this award goes to the one who stood out the most among the chaos. In his last season, Tony was an obvious villain, backstabbing every single person that he was aligned with at some point. It wasn't as prominent this time around, as Tony said he wanted to play a different game at the beginning. After the Merge, though, he played double agent between Jeremy and his alliance and even somewhat betrayed his main alliance, Sarah, when he voted out Sophie, who she was very close to. |
