He looks older than his age and appears to be a lot more mature as well, and he even says he will tell his tribemates he\u2019s 23, which is probably a smart move. He compares himself to Malcolm Freberg (4th place, <i>Survivor: Philippines<\/i>, 9th place, <i>Survivor: Caramoan<\/i>, 17th place, <i>Survivor: Game Changers<\/i>), one of the most charming and successful \u201cbros\u201d to ever play the game. However, though Michael seems mature and capable, he does lack life experience. Will that hinder him, like 18-year-old Will Wahl (8th place, <i>Millennials vs. Gen-X<\/i>), who basically got himself voted out of the game due to his age-related insecurities?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bamboo-bar.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"340\" height=\"12\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bamboo-bar.png 340w, https:\/\/www.fantasysurvivorgame.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bamboo-bar-300x11.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bottom line: Despite Michael\u2019s charm and self-awareness, he will probably not win the game due to his lack of life experience. The youngest male winner was 21-year-old Jud \u201cFabio\u201d Birza in <i>Survivor: Nicaragua<\/i>, who only made it to the final tribal council because he managed to win three immunity challenges in a row, and only scored jury votes because he hadn\u2019t pissed anyone off. Michael is smarter than Fabio, but he may have a hard time making it to the final tribal council based on social strategy alone. That said, he would make a decent draft pick because he could win challenges and will most likely make the merge. <\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #aaa; padding: 1em; margin: 0;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; background-color: transparent text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0829502378061333\" data-ad-slot=\"8405344495\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: xx-small; position: relative; top: -2em; margin-bottom: -3em;\">Ads By Google<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most baffling thing about Michael: how in the world is he only 18 years old?
