Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Shanah the Bionic Bookworm. Each week, we discuss 5 books (or at least something bookish.) If you haven’t been taking part, what’s going on? Are you against fun? Are you punishing yourself for something?
This week, we’re talking about the top 5 characters that would win the show Survivor. Remember Survivor? Or is that still a thing? I watched the first season, and then I was done. But anyway, I guess this list should be people that can eat bugs, survive on an island, and stab the other contestants in the back at the most beneficial time. Shouldn’t be too hard.
Kaz Brekker
I’m going to call it right now, Kaz shows up on more T5T lists than any other character. If he doesn’t already have a plan to win the entire thing, even if things didn’t go as planned and he kept finding himself on the losing end, he’s like a cockroach that just won’t be squished.
Kady Grant
Resilient AF.
Darrow of Lykos
Not even death can bend Darrow to his will.
Katniss Everdeen
She wouldn’t even want to win, but somehow she’d still do it.
Severus Snape
I don’t think anyone would even see Severus working behind the scenes until the final elimination. The other final contestant—hell, even the host of the show—would be like, “He’s still in the game? I thought he was gone in the first week.” But, no. He’s been in the deepest part of the island jungle, surviving on almost nothing at all, and pulling everyone’s strings.
I agree with everyone on your list, and yes, Mark Watney is a shoe-in for this too. You MUST read The Martian!
It’s on my TBR for THIS YEAR. So, it WILL happen, Tammy. I promise!
A final showdown between Kaz and Snape would be fantastic…they’d both be so sneaky and deadly, lol. Though I think I’m imaging something more along the lines of the Hunger Games than the actual TV show, hahahahah.
That would be amazing. Someone needs to write a version of the Hunger Games with all of our favourite characters… Fan fic usually doesn’t interest me much, but THAT would be worth reading!
darrow and katniss!
I love this! Of course Darrow would win hands down!
Darrow would be the guy that ends up bringing them all together and attacking the show’s producers! hahahahahaha
Now that would be quality television!!
Love your logic behind Snape. Spot on.
Your reason for choosing Kady – funny shit!!! But spot on! Snape…… oh my heart. This makes me so happy to see him on this list. Still need to read Red Rising…… the main character seems like the type of person I’m going to instantly fall in love with. Maybe I can make this happen in April….. YES!
Thanks for participating – added you to the list 🙂
If you need to borrow Red Rising, I know someone in your area who has the whole series…
Well now this is embarrassing….. I have the whole series on my shelf 😂 so there’s really no excuse for me not reading it yet!! Found it on book outlet super cheap 🙂
NICE picks! I’d have to give the win to Darrow… or Kaz. That would be a pretty awesome battle.
I didn’t even think about Mark Watney! I feel like that’s more of a personal surviving than a Survivor surviving, though…
And I hated the main character from Illuminae so much that I wanted her to die a miserable and slow death all throughout the novel.
I thought about putting Kaz on mine, but knew, as you do, that he would probably be on 99% of the lists that showed up today!
Of course Katniss! She won The Hunger Games 😉
hehe yes to all of these!
First, I love how almost everyone has a character from Six of Crows! Kaz, good strong choice!
I appreciate your take on Snape! I agree! I hadn’t thought of him because he is more of a behind the scenes, almost “bad guy” until he’s the “good guy” mysterious type, but I totally agree! He would win just because nobody realized everything that was at play! haha
Yes to Darrow and Severus! I love those two series so much! Great list!
Now that I think of it, I wonder if Sevro could outlast Darrow…
