1. Sandra Diaz-Twine - Twice she played the game. Twice she won the game. In 24 Tribal Councils attended, she managed to garner a grand total of one vote against her (I don't count Colby and Rupert's votes because she nullified them.) She beat two awesome players at the end, and she beat Parvati. Plain and simple, she beat Parvati. This puts her ahead of Parvati.2. Tom Westman - He was one bitter juror away from authoring the first Survivor perfect game, a feat later accomplished by J.T. Plus, even though he didn't have a prayer in the Heroes tribe, he stuck it out for as long as he could, which, given how poorly the Heroes managed to work together, wasn't long.
3. Yul Kwon - Could have coasted to F3, but made bold moves and controlled the game when he didn't have to. Even if Aitu made group decisions, he was the face of the alliance, and he got the credit. Plus, like Sandra, he gets extra points for beating an awesome opponent.
Homorable Mention:
Chris Daugherty - For engineering the greatest comeback in show history.
Danni Boatwright - For engineering the second-greatest comeback in show history.
Todd Herzog - For out-Hatching Hatch.
Parvati Shallow - For winning once and reaching the finals twice.
Bob Crowley - For going from being an outcast to winning it all. Also, for being completely awesome.
Natalie White - For beating Russell with one big move.
I'd include J.T., but his Heroes vs. Villains performance left plenty to be desired. For his Tocantins performance alone, he would earn it.
