Who is the greatest Survivor ever?

As I was watching the finale of Survivor Fiji the other night it was brought up by a friend that Yau-Man might be the greatest Survivor player ever. Now that is easy to agree with after just watching how well he played the game and I have to agree he was pretty awesome. So it begs the question, is he the best ever? Here is a list of some of the best Survivor’s ever after 14 seasons of game action. What do you think?

Season 1 (Borneo)
Richard Hatch
Rudy Boesch

Season 2 (Australia)
Tina Wesson
Colby Donaldson

Season 3 (Africa)
Ethan Zohn
Lex Van Den Berghe

Season 4 (Marquesas)
Vecepia Towery

Season 5 (Thailand)
Brian Heidik

Season 6 (Amazon)
Jenna Morasca

Season 7 (Pearl Island)
Sandra Diaz-Twine

Season 8 (All-Stars)
Rob Mariano
Amber Brkich
Rupert Boneham

Season 9 (Vanuatu)
Chris Daugherty
Scout Cloud Lee

Season 10 (Palau)
Tom Westman
Ian Rosenberger

Season 11 (Guatemala)
Danni Boatwright
Stephenie LaGrossa
Bobby Jon Drinkard

Season 12 (Panama)
Aras Baskauskas
Terry Deitz
Danielle DiLorenzo

Season 13 (Cook Islands)
Yul Kwon
Oscar “Ozzy” Lusth

Season 14 (Fiji)
Earl Cole
Yau-Man Chan
Dreamz Herd

I would have to say after going over that list there were a lot of great players over the years. Think about it, how would Ethan and Yul matchup, or Yau-Man and Ozzy. Tom was a killer at winning and let us not forget the tag team of Rob and Amber. Some very different personalities and styles have won but I still have to say the greatest Survivor ever still has to be Richard Hatch because he had nothing to base anything on. He had never seen the show or knew what strategies to use.
