The worst ‘Survivor’ winners, ranked

After 45 seasons of Survivor, there’s been a wide range of champions, but sometimes the person who takes home the million-dollar cash prize is not worthy of the title “Sole Survivor.”

So, we’ve compiled a list of the worst Survivor winners of all time, and some of these placements might surprise you.

21. Season 43: Mike Gabler
Nobody expected Mike Gabler to win Survivor 43, due to his apparent cluelessness. His win is one of the most controversial of all time and because Survivor 43 is a less-than-stellar season, Gabler took the last spot on our list.

20. Season 32: Michele Fitzgerald
It still doesn’t make sense that Michele was rewarded the title of “Sole Survivor” and the million-dollar cash prize at the end of Survivor: Kaôh Rōng. Perhaps she should stick to The Challenge…

19. Season 38: Chris Underwood
Chris coasted his way through Survivor: Edge of Extinction and did more in 13 days than the other finalists did in 39. We’re ranking him low because he didn’t play a full game, but he is a Survivor trailblazer.

18. Season 21: Jud “Fabio” Birza
Jud “Fabio” Birza utilized a strategy of cluelessness and stupidity that coasted him to an unsatisfying victory. He can be praised for his four individual immunity wins throughout the season, but as a whole, Fabio’s gameplay was lackluster.

17. Season 19: Natalie White
Natalie only won due to the jury’s hatred of the ultimate Survivor villain, Russell Hantz. The jury just wanted anyone but him to win, and Natalie was the best bet.

16. Season 8: Amber Brkich
Amber Brkich surprised viewers all across America when she beat her now-husband, the iconic “Boston” Rob Mariano. The Survivor: All-Stars jury rewarded Amber with victory simply because they despised Boston Rob at the time.

15. Season 4: Vecepia Towery
Vecepia’s under-the-radar gameplay and quietness was just boring to watch, causing her to fall low on our list due to a win with no wow factor.

14: Season 17: Bob Crowley
Still reigning supreme as the oldest Survivor winner of all time Bob is undoubtedly a fan favorite but perhaps not a great winner. He had to squeak out a victory and nobody can deny he has his flaws.

13: Season 6: Jenna Morasca
Jenna wasn’t a bad player, but aside from her physical and social game, she wasn’t not the most outdoorsy. Hiding behind bigger threats all season long, Jenna managed to make it to the Final Tribal Council and won due to her strong ties to individuals on the jury.

12: Season 11: Danni Boatwright
Danni won, but didn’t pick up speed until the end of her season. Describing herself as a “stealth bomber”, her game was a snooze fest until the end.

11: Season 12: Aras Baskauskas
Aras Baskauskas only won because Terry Deitz was voted out. Survivor superfans still believe that Terry deserved to bring home the bacon, making Aras’ victory underwhelming and unsatisfying.

10: Season 39: Tommy Sheehan
Tommy’s strong social game ensured his victory, but the rest was rather forgettable. However, we can’t put his win too low on our list due to the social and strategic masterclass he delivered.

9: Season 44: Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho
“Yam Yam” would have lost the beloved competition series had Carson Garrett beat Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt in the fire-making competition – and that’s after he trained Carson to make fire. This left fans wondering whether Yam Yam was strategic or if he just got lucky

8: Season 41: Erika Casupanan

Erika avoided being targeted on her season but, due to this lack of screen time, her victory was lackluster. Nonetheless, she made history as the first Canadian and lesbian to win. Go Erika!

7: Season 23: Sophie Clarke
Sophie is known by Survivor superfans for her blunt, witty confessionals but her victory was forgettable and she was overshadowed by the antics of her season’s more memorable castaways: Coach, Brandon Hantz, and Ozzy Lusth.

6: Season 3: Ethan Zohn
Ethan’s innate likability and strong social game earned him the million-dollar cash prize, but as a whole, his Survivor journey was nothing super special, getting lucky on more occasions than just one.

5: Season 9: Chris Daugherty
With one of the greatest underdog stories of all time, fans wonder whether Chris deserved victory or if he just played the unfortunate cards he was dealt well. Nonetheless, despite losing his allies early on, Chris won after the jury praised the odds that he had to overcome.

4: Season 14: Earl Cole
Earl played a dominant game from start to finish but was deemed “a less-than-dynamic winner in a less-than-dynamic season.” He did make Survivor history though, as the first castaway to earn a unanimous jury vote.

3: Season 42: Maryanne Oketch
Maryanne Oketch played an amazing throughout Survivor 42, but it’s unclear whether Maryanne would have won had Jonathan Young been in the final three. Either way, her game was good, with her strategy coming to light late in the game instead of dominating from the start.

2: Season 5: Brian Heidik
Brian’s gameplay was largely overshadowed by the dark cloud that is Survivor: Thailand. As the jury despised finalist Clay Jordan, Brian won by one vote, a victory far too close for comfort. His dominance all season long was impressive, but he’s not one of the best winners by any means.

1: Season 36: Wendell Holland
Fans still believe that Domenick Abbate should have won this season, but Wendell’s game shouldn’t be overlooked as he excelled in all three key categories: social, strategic, and physical. Maybe Domenick should have won Survivor: Ghost Island, but Wendell’s gameplay should not be slandered.

Manoj Bajpayee On Making 100th Film as Bhaiyya Ji Release Date Nears

As the release date of Manoj Bajpayee’s highly anticipated film Bhaiyya Ji draws near, the actor is not just preparing for another premiere but is marking a monumental milestone — his 100th film in the industry. This remarkable achievement comes with a mix of surprise and reflection for Bajpayee, who shared his thoughts on reaching this significant number in his illustrious career.

Manoj Bajpayee says ‘miracle’ on completing 100th film with Bhaiyya Ji

From Satya (1998) and Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) to The Family Man (2019) and Joram (2023), Manoj Bajpayee has come a long way with a string of iconic projects. Now, the actor is gearing up to release his 100th film in the industry. Fans and him alike are astonished by such a feat. 

In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, Manoj Bajpayee shared his disbelief. It was when Bhaiyya Ji’s director Apoorv Singh Karki informed him about the milestone. “He told me one day, ‘Sir do you know that you have completed your 100 films’ and I was completely surprised,” said Bajpayee.

The actor described this moment as a “miracle,” reflecting on his humble beginnings and the unpredictability of his career path. “When I look back at the time when I first came to Mumbai, I never thought I’d even be able to do 10 films. But now see – I am 100 films down.”

Manoj Bajpayee attributes this unexpected milestone to a blend of several known and unknown factors. “It was just destiny, and destiny’s game and play. And I am happy that this is my 100th film. Because when I was growing up in Bihar, all the 70s commercial films used to mesmerize me,” he explained. This nostalgia is fitting as Bhaiyya Ji will showcase Bajpayee embracing a full-circle moment. The actor will adopt a mass-market action hero persona reminiscent of those early inspirations.

As the countdown to the release begins, the excitement among fans is palpable. Stay tuned for more updates!

Who plays Missy in ‘Young Sheldon’?

Young Sheldon is about, well, a young version of Sheldon Cooper. It’s right there in the title. The sitcom has been on the air for seven seasons, however, so the writers and producers have clearly managed to do a good job in fleshing out the rest of the Cooper family. One of the most essential pieces of the show’s success has been Sheldon’s sister, Missy Cooper.

Missy has become a fan favorite during Young Sheldon‘s CBS run, despite having already been introduced in its predecessor show, The Big Bang Theory. She’s a perfect foil for the precocious genius, bringing a different perspective to the family household that helps Sheldon grow. Even if the siblings do get on each other’s nerves from time to time. Young Sheldon recently aired its series finale, which has been cause for fans to reflect, appreciate, and enjoy the talented people who brought it to life. One of these talents is, of course, the actress who plays Missy.

Sheldon Cooper’s sister is played by Raegan Revord

Raegan Revord has played Missy Cooper for the duration of Young Sheldon. She has played the character for almost half her life, as she’s currently 16 years and old and she was cast when she was only 9. She was initially introduced as the cute comic relief to Sheldon’s storylines, but the older she got, the more Revord was allowed to showcase her acting chops.

Young Sheldon showrunner Steve Holland reflected on this maturation during an interview with People Magazine. He noted that the actress was relegated to “one-line zingers” at the onset, but the writers gave her subplots that actually challenged her as she got more screen time.

“We could really lean on [Revord] for a whole story or an emotional story, and it just opened up the kind of things that we could write,” Holland noted. “And I think it let the show kind of grow up with the kids, where the stories we could tell could get a little bit more adult and a little bit deeper as the show went on.”

Revord’s lengthy involvement with the show has led to long-lasting friendships. She told the outlet that she considers her onscreen siblings to be like real siblings, and she plans to remain close with them despite Young Sheldon no longer being on the air:

We’re telling people, ‘Yeah, we’re actually brother and sister,’ and I love it I actually now have my own brothers.

Revord is hesitant to return for the spinoff series

The Big Bang Theory has really proved to have legs as a franchise. The show not only sparked the wildly successful Young Sheldon, but the upcoming spinoff George & Mandy’s First Marriage. The latter will continue the storyline of the titular characters after Young Sheldon, which has led many fans to question whether Raegan Revord and the rest of the cast will return for cameos.

The actress told TV Line that she’s reluctant to step back into the shoes of Missy Cooper so soon. Her reasoning? She wants to try different things. “I’m not sure,” she admitted. “I mean, if Young Sheldon had gotten more seasons, I would have 10,000% signed on to do more. But now that it’s over, I’m also kind of excited to see what else is out there and try different things. Something dramatic would be a lot of fun.”

Revord is not limiting herself to acting, either. The multitalented artist is currently working on her debut novel, Rules for Fake Girlfriends, which is set for release in fall 2025.
