How Yau-Man? The guy got carried to the F4 in the strategically weakest season ever and made one of the stupidest deals in Survivor history, and then got owned by Cirie in FvF. Okay, so he can use HII strategy correctly. That isn't that hard at all. He didn't change how the game was played, he didn't do anything spectacular. He found the idol, made a fake one that was never found, and avoided a blindside because Stacey and Dreamz basically said that there would be a blindside at tribal council and he knew that Dreamz would target him. He is seriously an overrated player who would have gotten owned in most other seasons.

Pretty much anyone post-ASS would have to have made a huge change in the game or completely dominated their season to get in the hall of fame, because they have so much precedent to work with. Rob knowing to flip in Amazon was a lot harder than Susie knowing to flip in Gabon, because Rob had not had the precedent of the fourth wheel of a majority alliance flipping (technically Tina did, but it was pre-merge and not even shown). The only post-ASS player who really changed the game was Tom, because he showed it was possible for an alpha-male to win with "integrity", and led to winners like Aras, Yul, Earl, and now Bob (to an extent. All he did was win challenges), and arguably Cirie and Todd, the latter basically coming about as close as anyone has to absolutely perfecting survivor strategy and the latter basically blindsiding half the jury and then winning because he made friends with them and was likable as a person. Also, people from CI, Fiji and Gabon are basically auto-removed from any chance in my hall of fame, given how terribly those seasons were played and how the win was basically hand-fed to the winner (actually, I might put Sugar in a hall of shame for being the first player ever to try to actively make the finals and lose).
