Rachel arguably played a worse game than Ben and Mike Holloway but she gets a pass cause she’s a woman…probably the luckiest winner we’ve seen in a while, still a good player but massively overrated

granted i prolly should rewatch 30 and 35, but from my perspective rachel was kinda forced to play the immunity/idol game from the start of the merge just cuz she was automatically deemed a threat, whereas ben and mike kinda brought the target onto themselves. also sam and sue didnt have much influence on the game compared to chrissy and carolyn who were key members of dominant alliances throughout

Not saying Mike Holloway is a great winner. But he’s not bad. Wouldn’t even crack the bottom 15.

47 was just such a boring season and it was pretty obvious she was going to win since episode 2 with rice gate.

I don’t dislike her, but she had such an ego and felt very condescending, especially to Sam and Andy

Yup that gave me the same vibe, also when she got that absolute godsend of a swp advantage, where under any normal circumstance she’d be gone. But nope, production had to interfere

I totally agree with you, but I’m not so sure Rachel was deemed a threat until after she played her shot in the dark. She was in a rough spot after Anika left, as well as the merge tribal where she thankfully had the advantage. She really came into being a threat at final 7, where she won 3 of the last 4 immunities and had her idol for the time she was vulnerable

And that to me gives me a very similar vibe to Mike and even someone like Fabio, who couldn’t manage their threat level and relied on pure grit and challenge prowess to get to the end and win. That’s a legitimate way to win survivor, just not one I personally think is impressive

i agree and I her style of play is def not what i prefer either, but i don’t think its completely fair to say she gets a pass as a woman because i do believe she played a stronger game then Mike or Ben
