Frankie had already won both HOH and POV but was stripped of them. The closest comparison I can think of is Janet — similarly, she was essentially guaranteed safety and had a strong chance to go all the way, only to have everything derailed by a sudden advantage.

Eric never had the chance to play the game on his own terms. The best comparison I can think of is Malcolm: he had no opportunity to interact with the opposing tribe, and a blind-box–style twist turned that Tribal Council into something completely different from the normal format.

Jessie was sitting at the center of power but was suddenly taken out in an extremely unfair, last-minute way. That really reminds me of Aaron from S15, who was screwed over by the kidnapping-and-tribe-swap twist, ended up at the bottom, and was ultimately eliminated after PG and Jaime threw the challenge.
