If you’re counting three-time players who made the merge each time, it’d be Rupert, Parvati, Amanda, Ozzy, Andrea (in order) but Rupert doesnt fit the “every time” qualification
“Andrea is the only person to play in multiple seasons and win individual immunity in each season she’s appeared.”
What about Kathy Vavrick O’Brien?
Should have read “player in three or more seasons”. Edited. 🙂
Sorry if this is wrong but is Ozzy the second person to serve on the jury 3 times? Behind Rupert in PI, AS, and HvV
This is fun.
Parvati, Amanda, Andrea and Ozzy are the only 4 people to play 3 times (or more) who made the merge each time.
But Parvati, Amanda, Andrea and Rupert are the only 4 people to play 3 times (or more) who never were voted out premerge
It should be noted that in all seasons featuring a full cast of returning players, the more women made up the merge tribe than men.
– In Survivor: All Stars, Chaboga Mogo is made up of 5 women and 4 men
– In Survivor: Heroes vs Villains, the Yin Yang tribe is made up of 6 women and 4 men
– In Survivor: Cambodia, 7 women and 6 men made up the Orkun tribe
– In Survivor: Game Changers, Maku Maku is composed of 8 women and 5 men
Yeah, JT had 8 in his last episode. Cirie had 9 in Ep8.
Cirie had 8 confessionals pre-merge.
Ooops sorry I misread the stat. I thought it said Cirie had 8 in episode 8
I thought Ciera accumulated 33 votes. Also, all 13 person merge tribes have voted out a woman first.
Ozzy is the only player in history to make four merges in his Survivor career.
But his 3rd time playing he didnt make the merge
Rupert played 4 times as well and didn’t make merge all the time.
But when Rupert was a three-time player, he became a three-time player to make merge every time. Boston rob was a three-time player who made merge twice, then a four-time player who made merge 3 times.
