Following last week’s merge episode of “Survivor 46,” Gold Derby asked fans to vote in our poll for their favorite castaway in the Top 12. Hundreds of votes were cast, and things are looking good for Hunter McKnight, who tops our results with 37% support. This 28-year-old science teacher from Mississippi is a superfan of the reality TV show, even creating puzzles at home for his students, but he has no intention of letting his fellow competitors in on that secret.

Here is a closer look at how each of the Top 12 players fared in our “Survivor 46” poll results:

37% — Hunter McKnight

11% — Venus Vafa

10% — Charlie Davis

9% — Tiffany Nicole Ervin

9% — Kenzie Petty

8% — Q Burdette

5% — Ben Katzman

Less than 5% — Maria Shrime Gonzalez, Tevin Davis, Soda Thompson, Tim Spicer and Liz Wilcox
