The 20-year-old hit CBS show, Survivor, has recently come to Netflix (well, only two seasons) and I’ve already watched both of them, plus the ones available on Amazon Prime. I’m not sure what is so binge-worthy about Survivor; maybe it’s the intense drama between the competitors, the unique challenges they face in the show, or the amusing and loveable host, Jeff Probst. As you watch the show, you think, “I bet I could do this.” Well, based on my zodiac research (reading The Daily Horoscope for years) I have come up with how you might play Survivor!
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
- As an Aquarius, you want to make friends immediately when you get introduced to your team. You are a friendly soul who really gets to know and care about each individual teammate. However, you are also assertive and take initiative to get the job done. You always stop to help others get back on their feet during the challenges or back at camp. Although you are friendly with everyone, you would not mind being a loner because you will not compromise your morals and backstab a friend at the end of the day.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
- From the start, everyone on your team likes you since you are very kind and give off a gentle vibe. Jeff, the host, gives only you the option to either take a clue that leads to the idol, or receive an extra bag of rice for your team. You choose rice. Your team later finds out and applauds you for your selflessness. Although you are very friendly and a good team player, your intuition tells you that you should watch your back at all times.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
- Once the game begins, you hit the ground running. You are ready to win and be number one. You are confident that you have a shot at winning. Your teammates are weary of your enthusiastic energy and know that you will be an extremely tough competitor (since you are). You get to camp for the first time and you are the first to get to work. You are ambitious and have no problem diving head first into the Survivor challenges.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
- You are one of the most calming, warmhearted, and loving signs. Your team recognizes you as the “chill team member” who goes with the flow. You want to win by creating strong alliances and sticking with them until the end. You are patient, whether it comes to the weather, the challenges, or working things out with your team. You are reliable and your team loves that about you. Your only downfall is that you might be greedy at times and try to go looking for the immunity idols by yourself (hopefully no one finds out).
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
- Your teams are announced and you begin the first challenge that determines which team will receive flint. Jeff asks your team to pick a leader. Your team choose you because they have already seen your great communication skills and your witty personality. Your team wins the first challenge because of your versatility to adapt in every aspect of the challenge (physical and mental). Throughout the weeks you are a strong team player who is very smart and keeps the team lively. Although you are intelligent, you can get nervous and tense at times, especially when you feel like you could be blindsided at any moment.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
- As a Cancer you are very compassionate and loving towards your teammates. You treat them as if they were your own family members. You understand each and every one of them and can pick up on their mood right away. You are protective of your teammates especially when you are competing against the other team. Although you are very protective, you are also emotional at times, which the group might find concerning. It is getting hard just living off rice and not seeing your family and friends back home; it’s starting to get to you.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
- As a Leo you are quite outgoing and have a fiery personality. You are sure you will be one of the top competitors in this game. However, not only are you self-assured, you are generous and faithful to those you care about, including your teammates. You are going to fight tooth and nail to win every challenge with them. You are vivacious yet can be dramatic at times, which your team notices.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
- As a Virgo you are very logical and practical. You are the most helpful when it comes to setting up camp and creating shelter because you are so systematic and diligent. Also, since you are analytical, you are good at puzzles which help you during team challenges and makes you a strong team member. Although you’ve been very helpful, some team members might notice you are a perfectionist and can be overly critical at times.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
- You are a social butterfly; you really want to get to know your teammates and chat with them as much as possible. You want to earn their trust. Also, as a fair-minded individual, you are good at de-escalating intense situations between your teammates if needed, a good trait to have. You are very easygoing and charming, but you are indecisive at times, leading to alliances unsure if they can give you their trust.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
- As a Scorpio, you are always misunderstood. You are incredibly passionate about everything you do and you will always give it your all; you are determined. Also, you are brave and not afraid to try new things in challenges or back at camp. Your camp loves how resourceful you are but finds you stubborn at times, which could hurt you in the future.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
- You are quite extroverted when it comes to meeting and getting to know your team. Your team finds you funny and loves your positive outlook on life. You keep the mood light even if it’s pouring rain or if your team just lost a challenge. However, your team is concerned about your restlessness and thinks you might need to relax at times.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
- You are quite ambitious and ready to start Survivor. You are a practical player and you know when to be patient. You are disciplined when it comes to challenges and you never give up. You are also disciplined at camp, partaking in necessary tasks (ex. cooking rice, fishing, making fires). Your team notices you are taking this game very seriously and that you are independent. Sometimes you might hold grudges, which could hurt your alliances in the game.
