While one must certainly make some good strategic moves to win Survivor, one must also be lucky. Tina may have won S2, but she was the first booted from S8. Different circumstances produce different results. I think some (e.g., Tood) don't see this. They think they won because of their own genius and discount luck as a factor. Which leads to the question - which are the most arrogant of the 15 survivor winners???My votes:
1. Brian from S5 - the guy was competing against a bunch of losers and only beats Clay by one vote. But to hear him at the reunion show you would think he was the greatest genius since Einstein or at least since.....
2. ..Rich Hatch S1 - Rich was smart in that he recognized the power of alliance and voting out threat before the concept later became obvious. That being said, he just fell in love with himself for recognizing it.
3. Vecepia S4 - Vecepia bascically believed God chose her to win. It doesn't get much more arrogant than that.
4. Todd S15 - Probably believes his voting out of JR before James was some kind of genius on his part when in fact he just got away with a blunder by James making a bigger blunder later.
5. The S9 winner (name escapes me)
Least arrongant:
1. Ethan - basically no arrogance at all
2. Danni - almost as humble as Ethan
3. Tom - knew his physical skill, but didn't claim any mental superiority in reunion show
4. The S14 winner (name escapes me) - just a nice guy
5. Tina or Sandra or Yul - knew they did some things right, but also conceded that circumstances played a role
Thoughts from others???
