A Perspective of Survivor Christian Players

Regardless of your personal religious beliefs, you will almost certainly find people on Survivor talking about Christianity a lot. We almost never see any other religion represented. There are also debates as to whether or not Christians are represented well on the show. We’ll see what happens over time. But I might as well talk about my perspective of different Christian Survivor players.

Dirk from Survivor: Borneo was the first player in the series that we saw mentioning God a lot. Now he may not have lasted that long in the game due to an alliance that he wasn’t in, but he sure made a mark in terms of bringing Christianity onto the show.

One contestant who stands out (to me at least) with Christianity on Survivor was Vecepia from Marquesas. She’s the only person who claims God as the reason that she won the show. I forget how her claim goes exactly, but she did credit him for that.

Now Christianity may not always be represented well on the show. With South Pacific, it seemed like the use of God was more warped than it should have been. I didn’t quite like how it was portrayed that time around. If I still feel that way when/if I watch that season again, I’ll let you know more how and why I felt that way.

Matt was quite an interesting contestant regarding Christianity. In some narratives, he could be considered a tragic hero. He might have been a better player reentering the game after Redemption Island, but he screwed up and got sent right back there. He may not have won Survivor, but he was still a good player when it came to talking about Christ.

Well, I’m not sure what else there is to add in this blog post, so I might as well call it quits. I’m not sure if there’s anything else worth saying regarding Christian Survivor contestants. I know that I didn’t cover them all, but I hope that what I did cover was good enough. This is Adam Decker, signing off.
