today i am begining a 4 part series on saying who stands out for me as players i like and players i don’t like from 43 seasons of survivor (and maybe 44 if i get access to it in time and amybe updated ofr it and 45 by the end of the year) i will also explain my criteria and lists some honerable mentions as we go as there are many players who play more than once they can be listed more than once in either catagory.
borneo
players i don’t like – there is quite a few standouts this season.
honorable mentions – bb (was quite annoying during his two episode stint and practically quitting), joel (his shoganistic and misagism at the end), gervase (similar to joel in misagonism plus lazy), sean (never redems himself for his stupidity and lazy early), richard (naked too often and even though he won the first season his arroagence makes the list), colleen (is someone who was ok for most of the season but her mocking got too much at the end).
before i get to the decision it was an obvious call as there was little to redem this person for me and her famous moment this season means its not close this seasons worse is sue hawk.
players i do like – this was a bit trickier.
honorable mentions – sonja (likeable mostly and took her defeat well), stacy (First strategist and was taken out unfairly), gretchen (another player i have nothing wrong with) rudy (the only guy thats close to be honest but does have issues but being able to adapt helps his case)
reasons – there are always players considered either side for honorable mentions but its too hard most seasons to list everyone. this was close between gretchen and kelly to be honest for the honor im giving it to kelly though due to her immunity run.
australian outback – this might be my most controversal one early.
disliked players – maralyn (her votes in my opinion combined with being weak weren’t going to help ogakor), jeff varner (getting away with starting the fight between kimmi and alicia and also in some ways his arroagence but he is the first to have a few positive things season in terms of symapthy of his boot situation), alicia (the fight with kimmi was way too personal), keith (for an annoying perseon lasted too long asking for immnuity even if its the best way for the game also hurts him here), tina (narrowly lost this to colby in a close battle i would have said her if america did not like colby so much for things that made him a villian in my thing but she in my opinion this season also had villian tendinces more).
reason this was a hard one between the two finalists of the season fan favourite colby who i am the opposite of never liked and is much more of a villian than a hero in all 3 seasons he is in and tina who had a lot of issues during the game. ill also say elizabeth and kel were considered as well.
worse player – colby (little to redem him here other than not voting for amber when tina and keith betray her at the final 6) (the way he treated players like jerri who may have been annoying but was a loyal player this season but the way america saw him put over the edge for it).
liked players – not as many here.
kimmi (while i don’t fully support vegetarinism the way she was treated wasn’t called fror either), amber (a likeable player without many faults this time), mitchell (sort of picked because there wern’t many contenders its a sympathy pick mostly though but didn’t find everything wrong with him).
reason – a hard choice because a season with few standdouts to me in this cataegory and in th eopposite to americas choicew not only did i have their fan favourite in the negative i am going with the enermy in the opposite (id say she is not the most depised now because 3rd appearence she would have been liked even more than colby plus someone in this cast does something bad in an even later season).
jerri is my choice for this season
africa – the most liked was not a hard choice for the top 2. the worse was clear to me for several eps.
worse player honorable mentions – linda (her craziness when on the bottom), silas (arroagence and annoying), lindsay (giving up too soon), brandon (not against gay people and while i agree sometimes putting principles first it is a bad way of doing it), frank (way too conservative and also annoying), teresa (the whole lex incident of lying about it and also some of the loyality to the wrong people its also because of the unfair casuality) note i have named all but one of the starting samburu tribe. tom (more for ballance and his end game)
reason – as i said it wasn’t close while this player in the pre merge wouldn’t have been considered at all nothing post merge he did could reverse this.
lex worse in africa.
best player honorable mentions – clarence (i think some of the attacks were racist and he wasn’t really someone who targetting was best for most games). kim p (the only samburu not on the bad list and was well liked through out the season as well).
reason – it was a two horse race all season (becaus eof the annoying players or non-factors) he is the first winer to be considered for this and his first two appearences have littel negative things and thats ethan.
marquesas – its a hard one
worse player – hunter (the way he lead the tribe and his anger at his boot), tammy (a close 2nd to my choice araogent at stages and not willing to concede she has one posiitv ething not giving in to my choice in thrwoing the challenge). robert (not to be confused with rob mariano or boston rob or what to call him as he is in this season as well again to do with theh arroagence of the alliance but also turned down the last chance to get towards the end), kathy (i know she is liked but her late game from final 6 to her boot is mostly not what i like but she i sbetter here than all-stars.
reason – most of the issues are the rotu 4 with 3 of them including the pick being from te alliance. the early minority alliance other thaen gina were close in the running as well.
pick john (not only arroagence lying and hypocracy).
most liked player – gina (someone who while not liked early improves towards the end and is a hard luck story). boston rob (issues early on are negated by the fact he did well when his game was all but over). neleh (underrated runner-up), vecepia (first african/american winner but one betryal and not trying to keep her original alliacen strong works against her but otherwise a good player).
reason – tihs was a close one between vecepia neleh and sean with sean least issueso verall gets him the best. paschal nearly got an horoable mention.
most liked by me sean.
thialand – not many likeable players
honorable mentions dislikes – jed, robb, stephenie, penny, clay, helen, brian
reason – all the honorable mentions are annoying but not on a major scale the worse player should have been disqualified for his conduct.
worse – ted
likeable players honorable mentionis – ghandia, tanya, shii-ann, jake.
reason – this was close between ghandia and ken there isn’t much of note.
best – ken
amazon – honorable mentions – joanna, jeanne, rodger, denna, christy, butch
reason – if it was on outside the show this player wouldn’t get a lookg in but during the season his constant betrayls give him it.
worse – rob
best honorable mentions – ryan, dave, alex, heidi
reason – this was close i’ll note some one else would have been considred if not for nearly quitting (refering to shawna).
best – jenna
pearl islands
worse honorable mentions – michelle, osten, andrew, burton, lilian
reason – a tricky one id say there where 3 front runners and osten as the first quitter is close but the guy who calls himself fairplay takes it.
worse – johnny fairplay.
best honorable mentions – ryan o, rupert, christa, sandra.
3 of the 5 contdenrs were closely aligned until two of them got booted but its a good underdog story gets my pick chosen and would have won in a normal season.
best – darrah
all stars worse honorable mentions – rihcard, colby, kathy, tom, jenna l, alicia
this was close betwen 3 richard whose inapporiate conduct saw someone else quit but had abrain. kathy only avoids it to lex (the firstr two time pick by her vote for rob at the end).
worse – lex
best honorable mentions – rupert, rob m, amber
this is hard because only one person lost no respect that even got anyware interestingly i am repeating my african pick again and its a premerge boot for the first time.
best – ethan
vanautu worse honorable mentions – bubba, rory, sarge, twila, chris
reason – despite the older out of fashion men dominate the picks its between twila and her closest ally.
worse – scout
best honorable mentions – john k, julie
reason – not many to pick from at all this season but going with the so called villain.
best – ami
palau worse honorable mentions -yolandam, kim, ibraheim, janu, ian
reason – the choice was pretty obvious to me despite a quitter and some de facto quitters.
worse – caryn
best honorabel mentions – stephenie, bobby jon, gjenn
reason – all the bmentions are on sympathy
best – angie (lowest finisher for a while).
gutamala worse honorable mentions – margret, blake, gary, judd, rafe
a tough one t opick again the differenc ewai overffall annyoance during theand challenge preformance.
worse – lyida
best player honorabel mentions – dani, stephenie, brooke, morgan, ami
despite the honorable mentions being all woman i am going to give it to a under reported man.
best – brandon
in the next part will be panama to redemption island.
