Cirie for sure, getting that close to winning as an overweight 'older' woman in two seasons is pretty impressive. HII/Final 3 diaf </3

I think Scout's one of the best players to never win as well. As an old woman who could barely walk, getting as far as she did without being a goat means she had a really strong strategic/social game (even if Eliza hated her).

Getting far in the game because you're old or overweight isn't that impressive of an accomplishment.

Yeah, you're definitely WAY more vulnerable during the first few councils, but if you survive those, then no one will find any need to boot you as the focus now shifts to stronger, younger people.

Exactly, and in Cirie's case she was in the majority alliance in both season's at the merge, which means she was already guaranteed to go far in the game. That is not impressive to me. When Cirie was finally in danger of going home when all the threats were gone, she always failed to save herself in both games. I do think Cirie was a good player, and played a great social game. But just does not deserve to be ranked in the same league as Boston Rob, Rob Cesternino & Fairplay.

In my opinion, Boston Rob was the best player to never win. He had total control over the whole game, he had everyone wanting to align with him. He was also a physical threat, yet he had so much control in the game that no one could take him out.
