Jonathan Penner - Survivor Cook Islands / FvF / Philippines
7th, 15th and 7th respectively
Jonathan was one of the most disliked players by his cast mates in Cook Islands. They all thought he was a liar and a sneak and its because he was. He returned for Fans vs Favorites and was medically evacuated on day 15 with a knee injury. In Philippines, he was once again not trusted by his tribe early on, but they never lost so they never had a chance to vote him out.
Round 1: Defeated Candice 15-9
Round 2: Defeated Tom 18-5
Round 3: Defeated Eddie 16-6
Round 4: Defeated Rodger 15-5

Cirie Fields - Survivor: Panama, Micronesia and Heroes vs. Villains
4th, 3rd and 17th
Cirie is probably the best strategic player Survivor has ever seen. In Panama, early on in the game she was told that her and Melinda would be the next two voted out and she managed to outlast the person who told her that. She knew she was on the outs for a while in that season, so she let the people around her go at each other and watch the relationships crumble, advancing her place in the tribe. She was able to make the moves that helped her get where she did and was a driving force in the game behind the scenes. In Micronesia, she mainly did the same thing as she was a key swing vote early in the game. She chose to align with Amanda and Parvati and worked with them to perform blindside after blindside and ultimately make the final 3 with them, falling just short of the finals.
