Russell stated at Final Tribal Council that Sandra’s failure to get rid of him was a mark against her, but what he was too foolish to realize was that by pitting herself as his arch-nemesis, Sandra warmed herself to the Heroes tribe (who made up the majority of the jury). She used his ego and paranoia to help vote out Coach and later recognized the animosity towards him as her winning tool. Sandra’s reads are one of her biggest strengths. She made herself necessary when it counted (ousting Burton in Pearl Islands), and took a back-seat when it was time to let others take the heat.

Her social game was impeccable a mixture of brash honesty and foul-mouthed humor that gave her an alluring charm in a game full of deception and lies. She followed the numbers making herself a viable asset to the dominating alliance. Intentionally playing under-the-radar, Sandra was always aware of her own position within the game. Nobody has mastered the “as long as it’s not me” strategy quite as well as Sandra. That is why, despite the criticisms, I have to rank Sandra as the best winner of all time. However, unlike Joe Calzaghe, who has to be ranked against many other undefeated fighters in his field, in the world of Survivor, there is only returning one undefeated champion. But because her game lacks the showmanship and razzmatazz of other winners, she is often unfairly maligned. Like Calzaghe, Sandra is also undefeated in her sport – the sport of Survivor. Why is he yapping on about boxing you may be wondering? Well, because many of the criticisms that are leveled at Joe Calzaghe could just as easily be applied to two-time Survivor champion Sandra Diaz-Twine. Calzaghe just wasn’t a flashy or aggressively dominant fighter. And his wins, while convincing, were unmemorable and often point based. He spent the majority of his career fighting in Europe rather than traveling to the US where at the time the competition in his weight division was of a higher standard.
Why? Well, some say that Calzaghe didn’t fight enough big-name fighters. But when the topic of the best fighters of all time is brought up, Calzaghe’s name is often shunted aside.
