#95 Lisa Whelchel: Philippines (2nd Place)
Generally I am hesitant about celebrity casting simply because I fear they may play for fame rather than the game. However, with Lisa it is evident that she knew the game of Survivor. She survived to the merge without attending a tribal council (she could have been gone if Tandang has lost a challenge). Though Lisa had a grasp on strategy, her exucution wasn't perfect, which we saw in her botched attempt at blindsiding Malcolm. Nevertheless, she made it to the end game with her closest friend Mike. Together they took Malcolm the massive jury threat out at four only to lose to Denise. You could see Lisa's emotions conflict with how she wanted to play the game many times throughout the game. She was emotional, but she was a great character and a seemingly very sweet woman whom I would be happy to see play once again.
