I know Lex, Jenna L., and Ozzy aren't popular here but they should've made the top 40 for sure. Jake, Deena, Jonathan, and Amanda should've been
here especially over jokes like Kelly and Scout

Nope. The odds of guessing it right are pretty awful, actually. You can whittle it down to two players you think would be guaranteed Top 20 under any
circumstances. But then you have to guess two of those right. There's literally hundreds of combinations.

Peih-Gee was one of the only two players in China that had any decent game at all. She would've won if there hadn't been so many idiots.

PG sucked at the game. She had an AMAZING opportunity to change up the whole game by telling James to use the idol, but she blew it. And it's not like she made any other amazing decisions. |

Yes CSC, because the brilliant move Erik made of voting for James instead of Todd would've made THAT move work PERFECTLY.

Well she obviously would have coordinated that if she had any sort of plan, which she didn't. Tell me one good move she made, besides throwing the
challenge, which really shouldn't be considered anything special because ANYONE would know to do that. And none of this "social game" bs either,
because everybody from Fei Long hated her.

The fact was, Peih-Gee's strategic options were limited because her initial tribe sucked, and thus lost enough challenges to give her a numerical minority, and every player in the game except Todd and MAYBE Amanda was just a moronic sheep. |

So since you think other players were dumb, we're to assume PG must have been a good player? And as I said, throwing the challenge was a no-brainer, but
she even fucked that up. And her being in the minority doesn't change the fact that she made everyone hate being around her. Voting for James in case he
had the idol was a good idea, but it was made null and void by not securing Erik's vote. What exactly did she do that makes her stand out about the 200+
other contestants to make top 40?

Danni is another one that just fell face first into luck. Just because you are deemed the weakest and left for the last to be pagonged, doesn't make you a great player. Yeah, she sure was lucky when she won just as many immunities as Jamie/Lydia/Rafe/Steph yet was down by 2 at the merge because her name wasn't Stephenie. And how she sat back at F6, F5 and F4 and did absolutely nothing yet got spared all three times for some unknown reason. Must be fun to close your eyes, stick fingers in your ears, and pretend that things that happened didn't happen. |

Well, the fact is that she did the absolute best with the bullshit she was given to work with. She threw the challenge at 5 because she knew it would benefit
her already weak tribe. Despite being relatively weak, she managed to protect herself through three pre-swap tribal councils. Post-merge, she targetted just
the right person each time and Todd was just always a step ahead of her. And the one time he wasn't, Erik was a fucking dumbass who thought it was smarter
to hook up with an alliance that wanted him gone than to stick with his cloest ally and try to take out Todd. Denise was a dumb sheep who literally settled
for 4th place, and Amanda was a dumb bitch who settled for second at best. Peih-Gee got to the final 5 despite having to play with rockheaded players, and she
won several crucial competitions when she most needed to do so (which is just as much a part of being a greatest Survivor as strategy is, it's just not the
ONLY part, or even the most important part). Peih-Gee had a great shot of making the final 3 if she'd just been a little faster in chopping her puzzle
ropes at the final 5. For someone who the rest of the tribe hated, she did a damn good job.

There are 16 seasons. This is a top 40. Most seasons have 2 or 3 players in the top 40, with outliers vanuatu and thailand averaging out to three each.
There are plenty of debatable players from the list, but of the top 40, hell, Peih-Gee isn't even the worst remaining player from CHINA. THAT award goes
to the bitch that couldn't even beat Courtney Yates and basically made herself Todd's bitch all season. Peih-Gee was basically the Todd of Zhan Hu and
she played the best strategic game possible given the shitty hand she was dealt. You just hate her because you have a massive stick up your ass when it comes
to all the recent seasons. Probably because all your favorites suck and leave within the first three episodes. Thanks for fucking Leslie over with your
curse, btw, CSC.

PG fans really don't think with their heads. Honestly, China was such a clusterfuck of people who weren't there to win the game. I can't think of
any Zhan Hus who were there to play except Sherea and Chicken. At least Amanda strategized and formed a counter-alliance at the beginning. Did PG have any
allies, or was it just a forced tribal alliance after the tribal swap and merge?

I admit that Cirie, Todd, Amanda (at times), Parvati, Earl and a few others were good players. PG wasn't, and the praise she gets is undeserved. Be a fan of her as a person, but the fact is she didn't play a stellar game. It wasn't the worst ever, but she definitely should not be in the top 40. This list should be based on facts and evidence from the show, not on what you think may have happened if other people "weren't stupid." |

TBH, I think the only thing PG did strategically was when she got Aaron booted. That's about it. She was entertaining though but I don't remember her
making key decisions since she was in the minority.

And it's not even like booting Aaron was some masterful decision PG decided upon. She, Jaime, and Erik were handed two strong men to easily boot, and
everyone gigglesnorts over PG's Sudoku skills, but really, it was 123 strategy. Nothing complex at all.

Neleh was 1 vote away from winning her season and she doesn't
even make the top 40 how could she have gotten so many not in the top 40 votes?
