'''3. Compare each jurors' and finalists' games (and personality if you want to) to a real survivor player and give explantion why you chose that survivor player.'''

Just a fair warning that this is gonna be really bad. I've been researching for hours, but it's hard when you only read, since you can't know what happened and how things were at all by just doing that. So yeah, these will be a bit off, but I've tried my best.

Rhi - Kelly Remington. An overlooked player from WA, I think Rhi played similarity to her in that they formed close bonds with people, and managed to get into good and secure positions within the game. I think Rhi was in a very good position when she was Idoled out, just like Kelly, and could've gone a lot further.

Malik - I'm actually going to have to agree with Nick and Sim on this one. Malik's a lot like Abi-Maria in the ways that they both can be very outspoken, but that deep down, they're both sweet people, if you get to know them. He also did cause the infamous pre-merge fight I've but heard about, and Abi wasn't afraid of fighting either.

Elmo - J.T. I think you're very much like J.T. - loved by everyone, with a great player behind that too. Your personality made everyone like you, and I don't think there's a single person that can dislike you after this game. Similar to J.T. in Tocantins, I think you would've won easily if you'd made it to the end, but an Idol stopped you from making it far, just like J.T. in HvV.

Brandon - Kelly Wiglesworth (Cambodia). A loyal player that was seen as someone with lots of potential, but never got to fully unleash it. He was very good in challenges, just like Kelly, and was taken out because of his big potential and already strong gameplay.

Renz - Ciera (Cambodia). This one might be a bit strange, but let me explain. I think Renz, like Ciera, is a player that can play really well. Just like Ciera was seen as a leader-figure of her Witches, Renz was seen like that of the Quetzal alliance. Renz had a big rivalry with someone (me), just like Ciera was seen by Jeremy as a dangerous player. Ciera was also a player who always talked about making big moves, just like Renz talks about playing a game where you did stuff vs a game where you didn't do stuff in this FTC.

Austin - Chris from MvGX. I'm gonna copy/paste what the Survivor Wiki says about Chris and swap some words, and show how well it fits Austin:

"A strong physical and social player, Austin managed to orchestrate the blindside of Malik, but, after reaching the merge, was seen as too big of a threat and was ultimately blindsided by one of his allies, Nathaniel."

Furthermore, Chris' allies Bret and Sunday both were fine with Chris being voted off, saying it was gonna happen sometime anyway, just like Nick and Sim too thought Austin had to go sometime.

Jenna - Sunday, also from MvGX. I think Jenna, like Sunday, played a quiet game. She was able to make strong bonds with many people, and when her alliance went from a majority to a minority, she was the one people saw as least threatening, and wanted to keep around the most. However, she was voted out at 7th place, just before the finale, and her other allies followed soon after.

Claudia - Cirie. I haven't seen any of her seasons, but Cirie was able to last very long by forming bonds with people, and by just being a great person overall. She made it incredibly far in the game too, just like Claudia. Also, Cirie is referred to as "the woman who got up off the couch and played Survivor", and Claudia told me she likes sitting down and watching TV, so I think that's rather fitting as well.

Chris - Rob Cesternino. I haven't seen either of his seasons, but I think this is a good fit for Chris. He was a very adaptable player, and played both sides of Catarina and Quetzal very well. He was a good social and strategic player, and managed to get people what he wanted them to do, just like Chris managed to do this season. He had a partner-in-crime in Matthew, like Chris had Claudia, and he almost got to the end, but was voted out one day short. I think he used his strategic mind and social connections to make it far, and that's why I put them like this.

Nick - Michele Fitzgerald. Like with Austin, let me copy/paste this from the Wiki:

"A quiet contestant for much of the game, Nick stayed upbeat and made solid social relationships with his peers and utilized them to secure a place in the majority alliance. He then won a crucial Final Immunity Challenge, as well as an unprecedented advantage to strip a juror of their right to attend and vote in the Final Tribal Council."

Of course, that "advantage" would be the whole Shea incident from this FTC. I also think they played similar games, in that they were quiet, but stayed in the majority, and Michele got praised in the FTC for her social game, just like Nick is in this one.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Sim - Sim was the hardest one to do by far. I think I'm going to settle with Spencer from Cambodia though. Both were returnees, and made it to the end. Both had strong games where they were in the majority for most of the merge, and were strong physically too, but received some backlash in the FTC due to both social game and allegedly riding coattails. Spencer also had a partner-in-crime he made the FTC with, Tasha, just like Sim made the FTC with Nick.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Me - I don't like saying this, but I think I'm gonna have to say Russell Hantz (Samoa). This is based off of how the game went, and not personality. I haven't seen Samoa, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I played similarily to Hantz in that I managed to get my alliance from a minority position to one in the majority. We both played Idols on ourselves in pivotal votes that left us with a majority afterwards, and we also managed to get someone from the bottom of the opposite side to flip to us, in Shea and Shambo. At the FTC, we also both face issues that are mainly in our social games compared to that of another finalist.
