Survivor Hall of Fame

Sign in to edit

The Survivor Hall of Fame was a special recognition given to Survivor contestants with exemplary deeds such as strategic brilliance, immense popularity or infamy. It was run by Xfinity TV, a part of cable TV company Comcast, until its retirement in 2016.

About[]

In 2010, Survivor fan Gordon Holmes, an assistant managing producer at Comcast initiated a yearly poll on which Survivor contestants (from the first season in Survivor: Borneo to the most recent season) deserved a spot in the Hall of Fame. How voters defined "worthy" was in their discretion, whether it be personality, strategy, challenge performance or any other reason. Survivor producers, crew members, the press, the Xfinity staff (including Holmes himself) and former Hall of Fame inductees made up 50% of the final score, while the remaining half will come from the Survivor fanbase. Gordon's dual-tiered voting systems were devised to prevent one party from influencing the other, though Holmes found it "unnecessary."

After announcing their inclusion to the list, Holmes interviewed the new inductees about their induction to the hall.

Voting[]

Ballots were filed on the blog page of the Xfinity TV website. In the first batch of inductees, five contestants are inducted. However, in subsequent years, three new inductees were being added.

In the beginning, fans could vote three contestants from any season at the comments section of the blog post that signaled the opening of voting, which also announced the deadline of the voting process.[1][2]

Tribal Council Edition[]

In celebration of the 5th year of the award, instead of including three former players to the Hall of Fame, the "Survivor" Hall of Fame Executive Committee (which consists of luminaries such as "Survivor" host Jeff Probst, producers of the show, Hall of Famers and others) were asked to nominate their favorite Tribal Councils. From Tuesday, November 25, 2014 through Sunday, December 7, 2014, the committee sent their three favorite Tribal Councils, resulting in a list of sixteen Tribal Councils available to public voting. The voting went from December 8 through December 12, and the three most votes were revealed from December 15 through December 17, 2014.[3]

Inductees are enumerated based on their order of announcement.
