It is down to the final four. Who will take home the title of Sole Survivor and the million dollar check that goes along with it and who will have to make do with pizza and champagne at the final tribal council? Here are our picks for tonight’s big Survivor finale on Global from 8-10 p.m. ET.

Sole Survivor

For many episodes now Rachel has been edited and depicted as the winner of the season. Rachel and Genevieve have been the strongest players this season. Although Genevieve was a strategic powerhouse Rachel bested her in her social and athletic games. None of the other finalists have a resume that is stronger than Rachel’s. She has played a very strong, well-rounded game.

RUNNER-UP #1

Sam was strong player out of the gate but once the merge happened and Sierra was sent packing his influence and power dwindled. He has made a few moves since then but not many. His strategy seemed to be to go under the radar and build up his buffer, support system. He might get a few votes but not enough to topple or challenge Rachel.

RUNNER-UP #2

 

THIRD PLACE

Sue played a very inconsistent and sluggish game. True, she found an idol and won an immunity challenge. Throughout the whole season though she hasn’t had any control, influence over the tribal politics. She appears to have been just along for the ride never taking control of her own destiny in the game. Because of all that I doubt she gets a single vote at the final tribal.

Speaking of a weak game, Teeny was a passenger the entire time. She herself admitted she wasn’t in the know when it came to the tribal politics. She was clueless, never had her finger on the pulse of the tribe. She even tried to take credit for getting Genevieve out but it was Sam who leaked the information that was responsible for that. If Sam hadn’t had said anything Teeny would have nothing to take credit for. Teeny survived because she was never a threat and got along with everyone not because she was wielded any kind of power or influence, made great movies. Like the palm trees in Fiji, she was just kind of there.
