Teresa Cooper
Survivor Africa
I think that Teresa Cooper played a much more active game than Tina Wesson did in Survivor Australia. Her hand wasn’t as stacked as Tina’s (especially after Kimmi Kappenberg revealed that Jeff Varner had votes against him, allowing Ogakor to gain a clear numerical advantage over their Kucha counterparts). Despite her initial issues with her younger Samburu tribe members, T-Bird managed to put that aside when she realized they needed each other to get past the Boran stronghold. If Brandon hadn’t flipped back, she almost would have done it and the fact that she did get Kim Powers and Frank Garrison to vote together is enough to get her onto my list of the best.
