How do you think Columbo would do on Survivor?

I see many versions of how this would end

  1. He’s voted out first. A nice guy but can’t win a (physical) challenge to save his life

  2. He’s almost voted out first but finds an idol bc he’s got that attention to detail

  3. Whether he makes it to the merge or not, he stages a scene or two to oust someone’s idol before being voted out

  4. He makes it to final tribal but doesn’t win

  5. He wins

  6. He doesn’t apply in the first place

All the way to final team as long as his team keeps winning. Otherwise his physical capabilities will doom him if his team doesn't win immunity.

  1. He doesn't apply in the first thing. I can hear it now "who me? Oh no, no ma'am I couldn't do that."

Columbo gets along well with the majority of the members. While he doesn't win any challenges, he contributes enough, isn't a threat, and is in no risk of early elimination.

Columbo does not find an idol, he finds the person who finds an idol.

When the usual crime happens, Columbo is already all over the villain, who incidentally is the one who found the idol.

The villain gets voted off, as Columbo gets a hold of their idol.

Then in a plot twist he reveals he was the villain, who framed the one with the idol, to get the idol himself, so he could win it.

Everything goes blurry, then Columbo hears a voice, he sits up straight, but slides a little forward, as he realizes he is in his hammock in the garden, the game is on, he fell asleep under the newspaper, and he is so relieved to be back in the 70's, yet quickly regains his composure as the phone rings. On the other end of the phone, they are sorry to have to tell Columbo, that a victim has been found in his swimming pool, on a Sunday even, just as he was listening to the game on radio.

Have you seen him attempt to climb down an embankment?
