This is probably one of the most talked-about Survivor seasons. Both Parvati, who appeared in seasons 6, 16, 20, and 40, and Cirie, who appeared in seasons 12, 16, 20, and 34, paved the way for women in Survivor in different ways. Parvati was perceived as a villain in the game, using deception, trickery, and flirtation to get what she wanted. On the other hand, Cirie had the ultimate underdog story. She was the personification of what Jeff Probst meant when he said that anyone can play. She went from watching Survivor to playing it. Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites is known for the alliance known as the Black Widow Brigade, a group of women who joined forces to use their opponents to advance their own interests in the game. They relied on wit and charm to manipulate fellow players, and the result was nothing short of iconic!
