Both Kelly and Allie dominated the challenges in their respective games. Kelly was one of the few contestants that made it to the final two that managed to change the mind of a jury member (Colleen). Allie took that a step further and convinced all the jurors to vote for American Pie over DrSteggy.

anthontherun:

American Pie: Amber (S8)
Despite the Ethan profile pic, AP's win was similar to Amber's. Both of them were under the radar but were allowing alliance partners (Boston Rob in Amber's case; Allie and Jackie in AP's) to do the dirty work. It got them to the end, and they both managed to win against players whose actions offended members of the jury. Whether the jury was right or wrong in both cases is another matter entirely.

ccsyaoran: Rupert (S7)
I'll be honest. In both seasons he was in, I never got a good read of ccs. So I'm just comparing his final words in S4 (about it being unfair that he was voted off) and Rupert's final words in S7 ("so much for my dreams").

doggans: Andrew (S7)
Basically, doggans and Andrew were intense players who never stood a chance. Neither of them were under the radar, yet they didn't keep a high profile either. But due to their challenge prowess, they were eliminated early at the merge.

Driew_La_27: Kathy (S8)
I was going to compare him to Lex in S8, but that would be heartless and cruel; nobody is that bad. But Kathy too trusted a major figure on the other tribe and got burned. The big difference: Driew didn't cry at the final TC.

Elvis: Clarence (S3)
This is a guy who everyone wanted gone at every step in the game. However, like Boran, his tribe was smart enough to keep him until the merge. It was once the tribes merged, however, that Clarence and Elvis were threats too big to keep around.

Fintron: Tina (S4)
Both Fintron and Tina played played passively, and didn't make too much noise in the game. However, when placed in the final two with Colby and iisryan (both of whom were almost certain to win the game), their strategy of not flying under the radar, yet not ruffling any feathers paid off, and Tina and Fintron won the game.

Genius in Maine: Tom (S3)
Kevbo-GIM-Anth. Ethan-Lex-Tom. Two of the greatest three-person alliances ever in the game of Survivor. While he made a fool of himself in All Stars, in S3 Tom was a likeable guy who contributed a lot to his alliance, just like GIM. Alas, neither of them ended up with the grand prize, but they both made it very far in the game.

gtrmu: Alicia (S2 and S8)
One word: drama. gtrmu was set to go to the final two until a twist ruined his chances and he was voted off. While Alicia really didn't have any chance of getting there, they both caused a lot of drama in their seasons.

DrSteggy: Vecepia (S4)
While Jackie unfortunately did not win, she and Vecepia both made tough decisions at the final three and went against their alliances (Vecepia with Kathy and Jackie with Allie) because they thought they had a better chance against Neleh and AP respectively.

M3m3s3: Kelly (S3)
Believe me, comparing someone to Kelly is a MAJOR compliment coming from me! Both Melissa and Kelly were great competitors who were snaked out by BTD and Lex, respectively. They both had great chances of winning but they were both unfortunately early merge boots.

iisryan27: Colby (S2)
As I've said in the Fintron entry, Colby and iisryan were surefire bets to win but they ended up in 2nd place.

spacedingo: Ryan O. (S7)
Personality-wise, they are uncomparable (dingo is awesome and Ryan was very bleh). In the game however, both were strong threats and had to be taken out early at the merge. Both of them ended up in 9th place.

Kevbo1987: Ethan (S3)
Nice guys who benefitted from three-member alliances and ended up winning the game!
