this is part 2 of my series of who my best and worse likeable players are from survivor.
panama exile island
worse honorable mentions – bobby, courtney, cirie, aras
this was a hard one no real standouts bobby was a no-factor early than became really annoy toewards his pre merge boot. aras was the only other one at any point who would have been really considered but it was almost all small moments. cirie in all but one of her appearences is more dislikeable for me but has a lot of positive qualities. shane just had the least redeming qualities and the smoker withdrawl takes the cake.
worse – shane
best honorable mentions – tina, bruce, terry, danielle
this another hard one tina the first boot had issues and only listed here due to a lot of things to do with her sons death just before the show. bruce was picked on unjustly a bit with his medivac also a factor. terry played the best game of the season but a couple of incidents towards the end cost him the best. danielle someone who a lot of the hard time with some of the other contestants being hard on her a little far. this is tricky but i went with the last player (who was nearly considered a non-factor) who played a likeable game and thats the 2nd juror sally.
best – sally
cook islands
worse honorable mentions – sekou, billy, jp, cao bei, brad, becky.
this has the longest list of players considered for worse at this stage but the worse was a blow out and shouldn’t suprise that only one of the last 11 got an honorable mention but the worse is also in the last 11. sekou is a first boot whose underestimation of woman is the only reason. billy lazy and delusional. jp bossy and lazy none were under consideration. i nearly had stephenie on the list but i removed her because of the first episode. cao bei annoyed a lot of people i give him props for one thing coming up with the split vote strategy offically but didn’t sell it well. christina just missed the list had two really annoying eps but the casting vote against her gets her sympathy points. jenny only misses the list because of the twist that took her out wasn’t fair. in a massive jump in places becky had little positive qualities and being dragged to the end and the fire starting debacle worked against her. but this was an obvious pick for me its jonathan penner who was the front runner all season and holds the record for the most aired swear words (or at least bad) his constant betrayls of people is also a big reason.
best honorable mentions – cecilia, rebecca, candice, parvati, adam.
this is the most unpopular one at the time full list from when it aired cecilia is the token early boot as i didn’t find anything directly wrong with her. rebecca whiile weak is more trustworthy and her boot was the start of the end of raro. candice while she mutinied might not have been a good move but generally likeable and more often than not some of the picking on her was over the top. parvati was strangely a non-factor this season but couldn’t find anything to hold against her. adam only just made the list and thats when he knew his game was done he didn’t target anyone who could have saved him his move if it worked would have made the last 4 fair game he also kept his word in voting for yul for voting jonathan out before him. the best player wasn’t that close he is one of my favourite players of all time his incredible immunity run and being unlucky to lose the final tribal carried his tribe who i would have said would have voted him out if they lost at stages premerge im going with ozzy.
best – ozzy
fiji
worse honorable mentions – anthony, lisi, stacy, cassandra, yau-man
again i have a decending view of this cast and the reasons again are not common thinking among the fan base. before the swap no one who was booted id even conisder closest being sylvia or rita. anthony being weak in challenges and at stages annoying the fighting with rocky doesn’t help his case but it doesn’t hurt it either fully. lisi at the time of her boot was the front runner but the issues with yau-man and my worse pick had already really begun only thing id even consider positive she did was sharing the clue to the idol with alex and edgardo from when moto even did anything (being episode 4) on wards she was unbearable. stacy was a last minute addition its more to do with inconsistencies and when someone shows loyality she doesn’t recipricate it and when she gets into her final alliance she is wrongly on the bottom. cassandra is someone who just about did nothing i liked but was nearly a non-factor. yau-man recovers well in the last few eps but was in the top 2 of active players once lisi left thats because of the lack of noteworthy things other players did annoying in a 50/50 situation which he nearly is the only moment. the choice is obvious the seasons main villian and not just from the car deal but throughout.
worse – dreamz
best player – jessica, rocky, edgardo, mookie, earl
strange list again jessica i don’t think should have been the first boot overall. rocky is a strange one who got all the bad luck through out the season with losing 2 of his main allies early and always being stuck with anthony until his boot only having one person on his side most of the game in mookie ihs points were usually right but put wrongly. edgardo is someone who was a player chosen on sympathy he had more good moments especialy towards the end and a much cleaner run than alex. mookie i ifnd him the least opposable male on th ewhole cast who had no luck in terms of tribe beaches but was only left out of one vote (rockys) and until his boot episode had nothing against him thats even slightly memorable and that one i slightly hold against him is more against alex. earl may have had more luck in the game but he had nothing i disagree with at all until dreamz got moved up int he queue of the alliance as the last addition and a main villian shouldn’t be promoted in most cases that costs him being my pick. my choice is another underrated female who had almost no little bad mmoents (one in episode 5) and the good moments with the sympathy gets michelle over the line.
best – michelle
china
worse honorable mentions – dave, jamie, jean-robert, phih-gee, denise
this is one i almost forgot to make my pick of the premerge boots dave was the most annoying to evryone. jamie is on the list for the whole throwing the challenge thing but it was barely considered on that alone the fake idol is the other differnece. jean-robert was intolerable without a reason but he gets points for realisin todds threat status. phih-gee is a strange one she got sympathy points for a few things late and early she was good but the throiwng the challenge and her attitude when losing rewards gets her on the list. denise is linked to phihgee most of the issues till she goes and than there is a lot of things that she did to try and force a tie that i ddin’t really like. todd was my pick which is suprising as he has my favourite job of the cast and they were no front runners at all until todds reaction to a comment from amanda and then trying to cover it up straight after put him already a bit unlikeable to the selection.
worse todd
best plaer honorable mentions – aaron, sherea, frosti, amanda.
this list is dominated (80%) by players who were swapped tribes against their will. aaron who had no chance of making past that after the thrown challenge was likeable. sherea only issue was work etthic. frosti was almost a non-factor but he did the right thing not returning to his orignal tribe alliance for the game. amanda was a close 2nd to my pick small game play mistakes late in the game kept this being very close. james in his first two appearences has the least issues.
best james
micronesia honorable mentions – johnny fairplay, penner, chet,kathy, tracy, eliza, jason, cirie.
ok got a lot to cover here fairplay pretty much quit and it was day 3. penner while the least issues and a medivac his gameplay puts him here. chet hopeless in challenges and a defacto quitter should have gone when his tribe first lost no question. kathy quit the game part of the unlikeable alliance. tracy was the main game player of the unlikeable fans alliance and made bad calls. eliza was the main post merge consideration overall unlikeable this time. jason is on this list for his many dumb moments but i never considered him seriously he gets props pre-swap for being the only player who constantly wanted the tribe to be strong to get to the swap. cirie pre-merge was tracking well. post merge a lot of this is to do with the fact that she did things like blindsiding amanada multiple times by leaving her out of the ozzy vote and voting with the fans to avoid a tie and still exppecting her to take her to the end over someone who she might have beaten she lost anyway doesn’t rub me the wrong way. but the worse player this season is joel another fan from the bad alliance who is one of the more stupid strategists. erik nearly made the list many times so he was also considered.
worse – joel
best honorable mentions – mikey b, ozzy, amanda.
ok this is a short list too many non-factors or players i have no opinion on or in the case of parvati all over the place. mikey b is the only fan in consideration who was likeable and not even sure exactyly why he was targeted except fro revenge from chet kathy and tarcy and joel just wanted him gone. ozzy while aroagent he is still likeable this time. its close between the china returnees amanda only lost points at all for jealousy on one smlall thing. james didn’t lose points much again so hes this seassons pick.
best – james
gabon worse honorable mentions – paloma, gc, kelly, ace, marcus, randy, corrine, ken
this was a tough one paloma would have been considered more seriously if she survived the round but its more the impact on few of the others on the list. gc de facto qutinig and not showing up for the challnege till the last minute. kelly had a bit of sympathy but lasted too long by luck in a lot of ways. ace way too annoying with his accent. marcus way too looked up to and not smart. randy annyoed everyone his major move wsflipping quickly as well. ken and cyrstal mit was very hard to pick between ken’s strategy was the worse for me but was more likeable person crystal was the least likeable after randys boot by far during the game itself and the differnece in strategy between her and ken gives the edge to cyrstal. corrines on the list from her final tribal preformance.
worse – cyrstal
best honorable mentions – jacquie, matty, bob
not a big list here jacquie was a no issue player but went too soon to be fully considered. matty had few mistakes but trails in likeabel meomnts. bobs supprising win in the end would have been picked if not for the fake idol thing with randy. sugar while playing with her emotions her role in the season nad the sympathy got her the vchoice.
best sugar
tocantins worse honorable mentions – tyson, debbie, stephen
a lot of non-factors in this cast only one premerge boot had a episode to consider before their boot episode. tyson there isn’t much to like but was a non-factor for a while. debbie in a smiliar boat once the merge happens really stood out. stephens back stabbing issue was a key factor while jt was involved in most of them stephen was closer to the people he did it to. but this wasn’t a contest coach by far annoyed me the most this season.
worse – coach
best honorable mentions – sandy, joe, taj, erinn
this was a toss up between taj and sierra. although sandy and joe had even less negative moments the timing of their boots sort of ruled them out. sierra with the bullying and unluckiness most off which unfair takes it.
best – sierra
samoa worse honorable mentions – betsy, ben, erik, jaison
this is the hardest one yet none of the people i really disliked constantly who made it to episode 4. eriks arroagence is the only reason he is on the list. jaison comptely was someone who would should have gone home at the first reasonable opotunity foa foa had which was few and far between after episode 5. john fincher is chosen mainly for his last couple of eps and his after show antics.
worse – john
best honorable mentions – marrisa, yazmin, liz, russell h,natalie
so many players not under consideration at all this season. yazmin was the least noticable and mkaes the list simply because of her blindside not the best move and the common sense. marisa being russell hs first victim didn’t play the worse game but liz is in a similar boat loses points in some wayts for that to liz only other note wanot understanding the social game. russell h is here only for changing the game in a lot of ways. natalies social game and suprisng win was almost enough but im giving it ot brett on his late game surge.
best – brett
heroes vs villans worse honorable mentions – tom, tyson, coach, danielle, colby, sandra.
ok tomis more poor strategy not considered seriously same with tyson. danielle is largely the handling of russell while it counts a lot against parvati as well the emotional breakdown at the end puts her here. colby not only do i not think id put him in the heroes tribe a few cmoments tsrongly against him. sandra didn’t learn any lessons about dealing with russell at stages and alos id say not the most desreving winner story. coach as always is annoying almost quitting the game over one coment early not picking sides and obsessesd with targeting courtney at the end while the best for the tribe strength wise not in his games interest. jt had nothing good this season and made some of the worse moves ever.
worse – jt
best honorabel mentions – cirie, james, candice, parvati
james is the only serious honorable mention in fact the other two are ther on sympathy and couldn’t pick many poeple without picking early boots who were non-factors i did add cirie at the last minute but it was between james and jerri it goes to jerri here.
best – jerri
nicargua worse – shannon, jimmy t, tyronue, marty, jane, holly
this one changed over time to a definative answer it aused to be close between marty and naonka. but my view of naonka got a lot worse over time and marty it didn’t change much jane and holly my view of has deteriated substanely as well shannon if he survived episode 2 would be very close as well. but if a bully quits the game and is selfish need i say mroe.
worse – naonka
best – kelly b, alina, dan, fabio
kelly b and alina are there for being pikced on (mainly by naonka) mostly for no reason. dan have nothing wrong with him but is a rare late game non-factor nearly but since he is no longer with us i had to put him here. fabio lost a few points early on but after epiosde 8 have nothing against him. this season though i give it ot brenda in a bit of a landslide.
best – brenda
redemption island worse honorable mentions – sarita, julie ralph, grant, natalie boston rob
this isn’t close sarita is clearly a standout from zapatera weak in challenge sannoying and played unfair. ralph was a certanity till he died it stikll makes the list though. julie like ralph only had one good moment to make up for that throwing challenges but at least she regrets it. grant did nothing almost all season but do what rob did by not makign a move against phillip when he wanted to he i s on the list. natalie voting out ashley over making her start fire against phillip seals her spot on the list . boston rob changing the alliance so phillipgot ot th eend and his dictatorship of running omtepe is why is here. best phillip is by far the worse.
worse – phillip
best hnorable mentions – franchesca, kristina, stephenie, mike, ashley.
with so many automatically ruled out this is a really hard one franchseca adn ashely aren’t seriously contenders. kristinas remarkable early game is why she is here. mike is the 3rd place only because of the throwing of a challenge. stephenie was the smartest but most socially inept on zapatera matt has the most symapthy during the game but it is close.
best – matt
the third part in a while will be south pacific to millienals vs gen x which will not be till after the write ups of millineials vs gen x.
