Here's my bonus response! This was a lot harder to put together than I originally expected haha. I want to preface this by saying that I haven’t watched a lot of previous Survivor seasons in a long while, let alone every season. So I apologize if I have some questionable picks since my memory isn’t the greatest lmao. I tried to balance choices between similar character traits and performances in the game, even linking both if possible. Enjoy!

Alex - Joaquin Souberbielle (Worlds Apart) - I never met Alex, but he seems charming and acted like a true bro towards Mackie. I heard he was erratic strategically, affiliated himself with the wrong people after a swap, like Joaquin. This caused the rest of the tribe to turn against them which led to both their vote-offs right before the merge.

Jack - Erik Cardona (Samoa) - Both players were the first boots of the merge and generally shared a strong level-headed grasp on the game. However, both of them made a fatal mistake during the pre-tribal strategizing that caused the rest of the tribe to turn against them.

Jay - Tyler Fredrickson (Worlds Apart) - Easily proficient players who both adopted a low-profile and savvy social game. Both were in the minority when tribes swapped, but later integrated their way into the higher ranks of their new tribe as key members at the merge. Both were voted off after members of their alliances turned on them.

Matthew - Jim Rice (South Pacific) - Jim and Matthew were both prominent players in their seasons and had potential to emerge as dynamic players. They were both voted off a few rounds into the merge when they approached people to orchestrate a blindside, but were unable to succeed in doing so.

Chieko - Laura Morett (Samoa) - Both were considered challenge threats which caused them to get targeted shortly after the merge. They also had conflicts with other members of the tribe, which further contributed to that target. Eventually, they both fell victim to their opposition.

Aaron - JP Hilsabeck (Heroes vs Healers vs Hustlers) - They were both assets to their original tribe in challenges. When a subset made a Final 4 deal (Final 3 in Aaron’s case), ready to break apart and make a move against the larger alliance, both Aaron and JP were the first victim. They were both even accused of having a hidden immunity idol they never had.

Jacob - Will Wahl (Millennials vs Gen. X) - They share being the younger players of their season. Both fell into the minority early in the merge but later helped orchestrate a game-changing move to better their position. Attempting to take full control, they targeted the big players but got voted out because of it.

Zeebem - Jenn Brown (Worlds Apart) - Both Jenn and Zee were significant members of their original tribes and were well-liked by everyone. However, the elimination of their allies (Jacob in Zee’s case), led to their disdain towards a handful of the other tribemates. Both were well-liked and offered hilarious confessionals.

Izzy - Taj Johnson-Geoge (Tocantins) - They were both loved by everyone and had the strategic prowess to navigate through the game with their closest allies after they formed a cross-tribal alliance. They also stayed true to their just and loyal nature, having intentions of voting for whoever didn’t wrong them to win the game.

Abi - Angela Perkins (Ghost Island) - I think Abi and Angela had similar stories in the sense that they were in a dominant majority until they were betrayed by their allies. They still continued working with said allies until they both got cut on Day 39 after losing the tiebreaker, becoming the 10th juror.
