Max Dawson
The superfan who literally taught a college course on Survivor — a media professor whose encyclopedic game knowledge made him an early Worlds Apart target, out seventeenth.
Max Dawson was the ultimate Survivor superfan — a media professor who had literally taught a college course on the show at Northwestern before getting cast in Worlds Apart. He arrived brimming with theory about how the game should be played.
The encyclopedic knowledge made him a threat his tribe wanted gone early, and Max was voted out seventeenth, well short of where his strategy hoped to take him. A beloved aca-fan whose game was studied more than it was played.
Pulled from the urn — every vote ever cast against Max, and how often Max read the night right.
