Gavin Whitson
Edge of Extinction's earnest runner-up — three immunities and a strong social game, undone by Chris Underwood's Edge comeback.
Gavin Whitson was the earnest small-town underdog of Edge of Extinction — a YMCA program director from Tennessee who quietly built one of the season's strongest social games while bigger personalities flamed out around him.
He won three individual immunities down the stretch and made the Final Tribal Council, but ran into the buzzsaw of Chris Underwood's Edge-of-Extinction comeback, losing 9-4. A genuine, well-liked runner-up.
Pulled from the urn — every vote ever cast against Gavin, and how often Gavin read the night right.
