The Perfect Game Comparison

In Survivor, one can play a so called perfect game if they meet these requirements: 1- they have made it to the final tribal council as a finalist, 2- not a single vote has been cast against them over the entire game, and 3- they win the game unanimously. To date, only two people, JT and Cochran, have accomplished this feat. I will compare their perfect games to see which one, if any, played a better game. I will keep this simply to facts and leave opinions out of it. It could end up as a tie. We'll see. Hopefully I can put a table into this.

What JT did

What John Cochran did

Who wins the point

faced a jury of seven

faced a jury of eight

Cochran

did perfect game first, before anyone else

was the second person to play a perfect game

JT

did a perfect game the first time he played the game

did a perfect game the second time he played the game

JT

was in a final two

was in a final three

Cochran

was on a season with 16 contestants

was on a season with 20 contestants

Cochran

won the Sprint player of the season award

did not win the Sprint player of the season award

JT

did not have an advantage at the final immunity challenge

had an advantage at the final immunity challenge

JT

was on the minority tribe for the first part of the game

was on the majority tribe for the first part of the game

JT

his tribe was best post merge

his tribe was mostly bad post merge (the second incarnation, at least)

Cochran

voted for everyone on the jury minus two

voted for everyone on the jury minus one

Cochran

had four members of his tribe make the merge

had eight members of his original tribe and five members of his swapped tribe make the merge

JT

did not have to outlast a returning player

had to outlast an entire tribe of returning players, excluding himself of course

Cochran

didn't do as well the other time he played

did pretty good the other time he played, playing more days

Cochran

barely had any votes the other time he played

had a lot of votes the other time he played

JT


 

I can't think of what else to include. Maybe I was making responses out of nothing. But I guess that it's a tie. JT and Cochran played the same quality of perfect game, even though they had different ways of doing it. Who knows? Maybe JT and Cochran can be a one returnee per tribe season and battle it out over the perfect game. But who knows what will happen. I hope that you like this, even though it seems pretty strange.
