Survivor: Zealandia

## Contestants

-Females-

Fiona Sparks (S1 - 13th, S8 - 14th, S30 - 2nd /Played and found the first idol in Survivor history and used it effectively to negate 4 votes against her. She was then seen as a major hero and major target that made the jury. Her target remains even in her returning seasons.)

Sylvia Vernon (S2 - 10th, S8 - 9th/Due to her physicality, she was immune for 10 episodes which included 3 swaps, played an idol on Ep 11 effectively during the merge, and was then booted due to her strong case for the win.)

Mildred Walther (S5 - 8th, S8 - 6th, S25 - 6th/Due to her being a polarising figure and loud mouth, she has received over 40 votes over her Survivor career. However, she has effectively played an idol, was evacuated, and even was voted out due to being a threat in the season prior to this return.)

Aurelia Novak (S3 - 1st, S10 - 1st, S20 - 10th/A major underdog and the only 2 time winner in history, Aurelia has overcome the odds. She managed to survive her entire tribe being voted out in S3 and her social and strategic game led to her first win. The same happened in S10 where she used advantages to also get further. After being seen like too much of a threat due to her possible third win, she was made the 3rd juror in S20.)

Ariana Voss (S5 - 1st, S10 - 5th/She caused and survive a tie vote in the first tribal council of her first season. From then on, she has played on the edge and used her cunning nature to win the game. She returned on S10 with her showmance and outlasted him due to winning challenges. However, at F6 she was the only person to be voted out by default as a result of everyone playing idols.)

Jiang Yuuna (S3 - 13th, S15 - 2nd/In her first season, she was part of the Brawn tribe and was quickly targeted due to her kind personality and softness. She was then put into the minority of a swap and was out of the game. In her second chance, she used her same kind personality to win the favor of others and managed to win 4 back to back individual immunities and caused the first ever tie at FTC due to her social and physical game.)

Roxana Coelho (S13 - 13th, S15 - 17th, S27 -14th/She was a major threat in her first season due to her intelligence and flirting skills. She was quickly put on the minority of her tribes. Using her skills, she managed to find idols when she needed them and played 2 idols successfully and took out alpha males. She was taken out quickly before the merge since she was a threat to win and deemed untrustworthy. She returned in S15 for her second chance and was a target during the first 2 votes and had to play an idol to survive. She was swiftly taken out after. She tried playing a more lowkey game in S27 by being a non-factor but as soon as she found an idol, she was taken out. She's been a pre-juror every time she's played.)

Nelli Sandoval (S9 - 18th, S15 - 4th, S25 - 11th, S31 - 12th/In her first season, she was deemed weak despite being social and capable and was the first person ever to be sent to Redemption Island. Although she lost the battle, she did not lose her motivation. She returned for her second chance and proved everyone wrong by winning immunity challenges, being a social butterfly, and being a strategic mastermind. However, she was lost the tiebreaker and was cut right before FTC due to her threat level. She returned to prove her worth and was once again a challenge beast and social threat, so she was quickly taken out almost unanimously. Her physicality made her only attend tribal once during the pre-merge during S31 and during this time she had her target grow bigger by finding an idol. She paired up with fellow Game Changer, Aubrey Yang, and they formed a deadly duo. At the merge, she received 11 votes and set the record most votes negated by an idol with 11. However, this made her an even bigger threat so she received 10 votes after.)

Aubrey Yang (S16 - 13th, S20 -20th, S31 - 5th /Due to her intelligence and love of the game, she was targeted from Day 1 during her season and caused the earliest vote tie in history but she was able to convince people to eliminate fellow Game Changer Ryder Lyndell as he was a seemingly bigger threat. Right after that tribal, she was seen as a strategic powerhouse and was forced to play the idol she found on Day 1, which makes it earliest idol ever played. Ever since those tribals, she cemented herself in history and cemented herself as an even bigger threat. She was then quickly taken out once tribes swapped. In her next season, she made deals with everyone and they all turned on her as quick as possible and made her the first boot of S20. She returned with other first boots for redemption in S31 and was once again a viable player due to finding 2 idols. On her auxiliary tribe, she was continuously targeted but used her idol to control the tribe. During the merge, she made a dynamic duo with fellow Game Changer Nelli Sandoval and helped her make her vote at F13. She soon lost her and relied on her strategic gameplay and immunity wins to make it to F5 where she was taken out quickly as she would've won the jury votes.)

Takala Berhane (S29 - 5th /As a player from Africa, she was new to the game but quickly picked up on it by discovering 2 idols. She used her kind nature to reel people in, but they soon betrayed her and she was at the bottom of the merged tribe. In order to save herself, she played 2 back-to-back idols successfully and won immunities to make it all the way to F5 where she was taken out due to her threat level.)

-Males-

Jones September (S5 -17th, S6 - 17th, S25 - 12th/Due to an incident on Day 3, Jones was the first player to ever be evacuated. However, in his short time in S5 he was a very manipulative and cunning player. He returned in S6 for his second chance to play the game and went guns blazing, which quickly made him a target. However, he managed to get a majority alliance created and due to being the figurehead, he was targeted and received votes at 5 continuous tribal councils. Eventually, he was taken out but he did return in S25. Here, he tried to play a more lowkey game but that quickly went away and he was sent home.)

Quinn Wildegrube (S4 -10th, S10 - 3rd/In his first season, he quickly paired together with fellow superfan and dynamic duo Britt Poggio and together they were in the minority of their original tribe but they tried to continuously shift the game. Due to their eagerness, they were made the first 2 jurors of their season. He returned with her in S10 and tried to find his way into a majority alliance and quickly did due to his social skills. However, his physicality coupled with that of his tribemates caused him to go to every single tribal council in his season. Due to him and his duo finding 3 idols, they managed to cause a null vote at F6 and sent fellow Game Changer Ariana Voss home by default. He made his way to the end, but people saw his dynamic duo and fellow Game Changer Aurelia Novak as bigger players.)

O'Shea Saleem (S11 - 5th, S20 - 16th, S30 - 8th/As a member of the Brains tribe in S11, he was a very observational and calculated player but also used his looks and social game to get people on his side. He managed to find multiple idols and even played 2 back to back idols when he was put into the minority of the merge tribe. He also played 2 idols at one tribal council which aided in the win of Cheyenne O'Boyle, his fellow partner in crime. In S20, he tried to be more laidback but the impact he had on his season haunted himand he was taken out. Seen as a major hero, he returned in S20 but was once again a major target. However, he never was voted out as he was evacuated.)

Ryder Lyndell (S16 - 20th/He was a major alpha male who was too big of a threat to keep around, which made him the earliest person in Survivor to be voted out due to the Anarchy twist. However, he was able to cause a tie vote against fellow Game Changer Aubrey Yang and almost convinced people to take her out but due to his threat level, he was then taken out unanimously.)

Reggie McKay (S18 - 7th, S30 - 16th/His love of the game made him a major target during his first season, but he managed to survive all the way to merge despite receiving a few votes along the way. However, he was a powerplayer during the merge which helped him recieve a vote almost every tribal council. He effectively used his double vote along with Joanne Magordian to take out the best possible people. He was taken out, but his impact as a villain led to his return in S30. Once again, he was a large target that made him collect votes at every tribal once again. Due to this, he was received 34 votes against him in his Survivor career.)

Zeke Hennings (S5 - 5th, S20 -11th/He was a member of the Young tribe in his season and used his wide-eyed nature and love for Survivor to make major moves along with Elijah Vinter and fellow Game Changer Ariana Voss. During his first season, he managed to find and successfully use the first ever Double Vote in history along with Game Changer Mildred Walther. Due to his threat to win and being the last remaining from his tribe, he was taken out. He ended up returning in S20 along with many power players but was able to beat most due to finding a vote stealer and an idol which he used to save himself from elimination and make waves in the game. Once again, he was seen as a giant threat and needed to be taken out at F11.)

Sampson Albronda (S21 - 18th, S25 - 8th/In his first season, he was one of the first ever to quit the game due to misunderstanding the game and the elements. However, he was given a second chance where he survived on his own and made major power moves. He even won immunity challenges and forged social connections, which made him a major threat to win. When taken out, he proved his worth and found his love for the game.)

Adolph Hitomi (S22 - 1st/Off the bat, his tribe filled with fellow Asians had managed to lose the first challenge of the season which put Adolph in a minority position. However, he managed to find himself in a majority alliance within that tribes to avoid elimination. From then on, he used his social skills to connect with people and integrate himself into alliances. He even made bold moves, such a mutiny to another tribe which helped him further build his social connections. He used these along with his strategic game to go onto win his original season.)

Emmett Powers (S24 - 2nd/Due to being an outspoken figure and helping to create a majority alliance, he was targeted at the first 3 tribals of his season. However, he was saved by the swap and was reunited with his brother where they were collected by the winner of the season, Cat, and as a trio made powerful moves. Due to these moves, he managed to make it to the end with his brother and Cat where she narrowly beat them due to a more well-rounded game.)

Alexius Walther (S27 - 4th, S30 - 20th/As a major fan of the game, he was able to take in every ounce of the experience. He was able to bond with most of his tribe and lead a majority alliance on the Fans tribe. This majority quickly went to action and took out powerful players pre-merge to put himself on top. However, he did this with the upmost respect and was a very social player. He was quickly put into the minority during the merge and fought his way to the F4 where he was taken out due to being a threat. His heroism led him to return in  S30 but he was seen as major threat to control the Heroes tribe, so he was idol'd out by Survivor legend Israel Tremble as first boot.)
