For a stretch of David vs. Goliath it felt like Christian Hubicki could not be voted out. The robotics scientist kept showing up at Tribal with his name written down — and kept walking away. He'd unspool a probability lecture or a pop-culture tangent on the beach, then go win an immunity, then dig up and play an idol to bail himself out of a vote that was supposed to be his. The Davids loved him, the Goliaths couldn't pin him down, and the edit basically built a running 'when do we finally get Christian out?' subplot around it.
The answer came at the merge. Once his idol was spent and the immunity necklace went elsewhere, the majority finally wrote his name down for good and sent him out as the seventh juror, seventh overall. He came back for the all-returnee Survivor 50 on the Cila tribe and made the jury again before going eleventh as the fourth juror — but the David vs. Goliath run is the one fans replay, the season where the most beloved guy on the beach was also the toughest name anyone ever had to actually write down.
