Every remaining castaway on Survivor season 44, ranked
Who's most likely to come out on top in the CBS reality competition?
TV Features Survivor
With last week’s “Don’t Get Cocky, Kid” featuring a vote for the entire merged Va Va tribe—following a now-standard/still-baffling fake-out unification and that split-immunity challenge—we have finally reached the individual portion of Survivor’s 44th season. And thank god for that. The merge is the real meat of a Survivor season as the individual storylines of the castaways come into focus, setting the stage for the heroic narratives that define the show’s best seasons. After a few weeks of edging audiences through endless advantage quasi-merge limbo, it’s satisfying how much mileage last week’s episode gets from those exact stories.
This is also the point where the general arc of the game becomes clearer. Survivor is, as Jeff Probst is so keen to remind us, a social experiment, inherently chameleonic based on the particular dynamics of its cast. And luckily, this game is shaping up to be an especially fun one, largely due to the wide variety of personalities on display this go-around. We haven’t had this much fun watching first-time players since … Cagayan probably? In any case, this all has us wondering: Who will walk away as the winner when the season closes? Here are our power rankings, from least to most likely to come out on top.

I’m rooting for Danny, simply because The Fart last week gave me so much laughter and entertainment.
I was really hoping at tribal that when Jeff asked if anyone had an advantage/idol, Danny would have said he had something, but then proceeded to let one rip, finally followed by handing him the idol.
Haha! That would have been awesome!
I want to have his babies.
Carolyn winning would be the only satisfying conclusion to this season. She is running circles around everybody while nobody except maybe YamYam even has a clue how well she is playing.
I don’t see how Carolyn could win since her edit has her mostly locked out of anyone gaming with her. Her fandom is rabid, to say the least. Anyone other then her, should be using the winnings, to update their security system and take a ten year break from social media.
yeah, I am not sure the other castaways ride as hard for Carolyn as I do (or most survivor fans do!) so I do worry about her at a final tribal being able to get the support from the jury. regardless, I will say shes my pick to win until the bitter end. Even if she is voted off next episode, I’ll imagine a twist that involves Carolyn winning her way back into the game just to win. any of these 9 could win and I would like them 100x more than last season’s winner – that’s for sure.
congrats on 44 years
