Perfect Game

The Perfect Game is a rare feat achievable in Survivor gameplay, and is achieved only by a Sole Survivor who never received an elimination vote against them throughout the game, and then receives a unanimous Jury vote at Final Tribal Council in a single season.

History
Since the series began, only two Sole Survivors in 26 seasons have been credited with this achievement.

In, J.T. Thomas played a perfect game. He received 7 votes at the Final Tribal Council to beat out Stephen Fishbach. He also won the Sprint Player of the Season as voted by the viewers.

John Cochran replicated the feat in where he received 8 Jury votes at the Final Tribal Council against opponents Dawn Meehan and Sherri Biethman.
