Sean Rector (Marquesas)



The best way to sum up the personality of Sean is one annoying bastard...

There are many things that weren't likable about Sean on the show. He wasn't much of a team player around camp with his lazy attitude and yet he always seemed to muster enough energy to get his mouth running quickly and loudly. I also think Sean has the honor of being Boston Robs first pawn in his entire Survivor career, so...I kinda feel this guy is partially responsible for why we got that stupid Rob vs Russell twist later on down the road. He's a shameless mooch with his giggily plea to Vecepia to please share her hard-earned winnings with him with what I can only assume was his idea of an adorable face. And perhaps worst of all, this guy is a hard chugger of the Al Sharpton kool-aid...

I don't want to get into the whole 'race rant' again cuz I already did that back with Phillip, but yeah. Sean loves to bring up race within practically anything he can. He gets to rant, kick, cry, yell and behave any way he wants because if anyone has the gull to call him out on his crap, he can shield behind the 'it's cuz I'm black' excuse and go back to being a dumbass.

And does anyone else find it weird that this school teacher made fun of Hunter when he was showing smarts with his weather knowledge? Hey Sean, if one of your students excels in class, do you call him a nerd and shove him in the locker?


RC Saint-Amour (Philippines)


I'm more of a Pepsi guy really...

Okay seriously, I was on team RC for a long time. She had a bubble-y personality, a pretty smile, and a rockin bod. But more importantly, she also seemed to have a decent head on her shoulders when she tried to find a right-hand lady to align with. Unfortunately, RC could not of landed herself a worse ally when she picked the stable-as-a-tower-of-toothpicks Abi. Now that's not something I really fault RC for. From the moment these players hit the beach, they are reaching for the nearest pair of listening ears to team up with and with so little information on her tribemates in so little an amount of time, avoiding the season psycho can be harder then it looks. And it was all I could take from throwing a rock through my TV watching Abi and Peter be total shit stains to her after they managed to beat her,

But that was prevoted out RC. Post-voted out RC was a total different flavor...which was grape....bitter grape.

My point is, nearly everything that came out of RC's mouth after she got voted out was nothing but bitter, petty, sore loser bitching, moaning, and whining. And not in the usual 'I'm-pissy-cuz-they-beat-me' way most Survivors do. Nearly everything out of RCs mouth after her vote out was either about how incredibly stupid everyone was for voting her out or how she knew exactly that [insert name here] was gonna get voted out if they gave her the boot. It's funny how easily "smart gameplay" coincides with "further my game" in RCs puny brain.

And even her jury mouth wouldn't of been so bad, but RC couldn't resist blabbing one final time about how incredibly stupid Pete was at the fucking reunion. I mean, I thought Abi was a crazy person, but to hold that large of grudge over a game that ended months ago is simply asinine.



'Troyzan' Robertson (One World)



A 40 year old man who calls himself 'Troyzan'...That sums up the type of person Troyzan is pretty well. He's not a very likable guy.

For a man clearly eager for our attention, Troyzan was surprisingly invisible throughout most of One Worlds premerge and it was the point in time when I liked him best. Then came the tribe shuffle twist which allowed Troyzan to form an alliance with Kim. Too bad for him since Kim used him as a backup plan until he could be disposed of.

But Troyzan wasn't gonna go quietly by which I mean he sure made a lot of noise before taking his loser walk. Having won a whole immunity challenge, Troyzan took the opportunity to be a cocky ass about it when he coined his phrase 'THIS IS MY ISLAND' for the whole TV crew to hear. This only made him look like even more of a dumbass when he couldn't make it past the first section of the next immunity challenge and was inevitably voted out as a result. Not wanting to end on a good note, Troyzan took his dicketry to the next level when he quizzed Kim on a question in which he was seeking a specific answer. While Kim answered the questions 100% correctly, it wasn't the answer Troyzan wanted so he middle-fingered her by not voting for her obvious superior gameplay.

Troyzan, there's a reason you didn't get voted back onto Second Chances. Not many people want you using up a perfectly good spot.



Andrew Savage (Pearl Islands, Second Chance)



Yup, Savage managed to move up the ranks....by a whole 3 slots. And only because I love old school players adapting to the new school strategizing.

But old school or new school. Savage is a real dick. With his hushed, smooth way of speaking, he comes across as a sleazy James Bond villain that makes you crave a shower. In Pearl Islands, he was elected the appointed leader of the Morgan tribe (one of the worst tribes in the history of the show) where he made the horrible decision of making Osten (remember him! The quitter!) the MVP of the group because muscles. He also had a bullying mental state of shunning out the weak in order to make room for more awesome with his horrible treatment on Skinny Ryan and Lillian. His decisions bit him in the ass when Lillian returned to the game and understandably gave into the temptation of giving this smug douche a kick in the ass out the door. A scout leader voted for Savage out of revenge. That's how awful he is.

Not that Savage would be willing to accept that as he moaned at the reunion show about how Lillian is a piece of crap for betraying her character and she should be ashamed of herself for not giving him what he wanted and boo hoo hooooooo.

In Second Chances, more of the same. Not surprisingly, Andrew's first move was to align with people with the largest biceps and target the manipulative, awkward dorky kid. Part of what makes that TC we all are gonna remember for a long time is because it happened to Savage. And nobody had a problem seeing that kind of blindside happen to Savage.

Note: this entry has the potential to change soon with Andrew's jury and reunion moment. Just didn't feel like waiting til the season finale to post his entry.


Zane Knight (Philippines)



Zane Knight is what Russell Hantz would be if his parents were cousins.

Frankenstein tattoos aside, Zane doesn't make good decisions. Mainly that he attempted to create a partnership with everyone on his very small tribe of 6. After one measly conversation with one another, the tribe easily figured out out about his loose lips and came to an easy decision to give him the boot. There really wasn't too many moments from Zane that I felt anything other than extreme annoyance for which makes it easy to drop him near the bottom of the pile. Thank goodness he went first (which he blames the demise of Matsing for. Arrogant prick).



Sierra Reed (Tocantins)




My main issue with Sierra is she's just so pitiful.

Her story arc goes as thus: she was the unlucky choice as her tribes first pick to boot off the team which she whined wasn't her fault since she was sick. When it was revealed she was still in the game, Brendan scooped her up as an easy ally for himself since Sierra being a friend-less loser was as plain as the nose on my face. Sierra, having no other options, was all on board for a F2 scenario that involved no work from her. Then, in another stroke of good luck, Taj and Brendan struck up an idea to create a cross-team alliance that would benefit them at merge and Sierra benefited by association.

Then things started to go downhill. Brendan got the boot and Sierra was forced to play the game on her own. Her attempt to play the game was....sad. She went the Nazi route and said that she was just following orders (which they easily believed cuz c'mon, Sierra making strategic decisions?) and put her last ditch effort into staying: making people feel sorry for her. Spoiler alert: it didn't work.

Cindy Hall (Guatemala)



Another bonehead within that awful majority alliance that took place in Guatemala is the zookeeper Cindy. On top of Judd's personality, Jamie's intensity, and Stephenie's  self-love we also had the whiny Cindy.

She started out nice enough when she was pretty invisible at the beginning of the season. But through all the tribe shuffles, she finally landed herself on a team with Judd, Jamie, Stephenie, and Rafe. And then she became...like them. Like Jamie, she made herself pretty vocal about how she didn't want to eat and have fun with the other team for Danni's birthday with her strong argument of 'it's stupid.' She also got very whiny about how she got left out of the loop with the Judd blindside despite them explaining calmly they felt she wouldn't want to go through with it (and if Cindy can't see why they'd think that, she's not a very bright Survivor player).

Lastly, she's also the player to fall prey to the one and only 'accept the car or become Oprah Winfrey' twist. Now I don't blame Cindy for having the thought of looking out for her best interests and taking the car for herself (you can argue all day about the better strategic play on that twist and I don't think there's really a right or wrong answer), but she sure as hell didn't mind bringing it up when she could. Hell they were her final words to her tribemates when she was voted out which was a stupid and unnecessary jab. The only only likable thing I can remember about Cindy was her random animal knowledge that comes with being a zookeeper.



Erik Reichenbach (Fans vs Favorites, Caramoan)



Part of the reason I hate Fans vs Favorites so much was the awful strategy so many of the ...ahem...fans had and making the job of the veterans much more easier than it should've been (but fans only care if it's with BRob). I made a writeup about how I think Joel is the worst, but Erik sure as shit tried his damnedest to not be outdone in poor strategic choices. As of season 30, Erik still ranks number one in my mental list of 'dumbest Survivor plays' with that immunity necklace giveaway and all because some pretty ladies batted their eyelashes and said 'pweety pweese?' I didn't find any of his moments to be particuary interesting or endearing either. Oh wow, he's enamored with Ozzy? So what, every chick was with Parvati that season so who gives a Goddamn? Licking frosting off of Cirie's fingers? That was supposed to be really funny?

As for Caramoan, what's there to say? He was an invisible glider within a majority alliance until final 5 where he ran out of energy, got evacuated out, all before the intro to the finale could run. Now maybe there was more to Erik that season that just didn't make the final cut, but what am I supposed to do? Give credit for something I'm not sure happened?




Next person on this list is the Pearl Islander Andrew Savage, but since he's scheduled to show off his second shot of the game this upcoming Wednesday at the Second Chances season premiere,  I'll give him a fair shot to change within my rankings. You live Savage....for now.

Natalie Tenerelli (Redemption Island)



Natalie isn't a shitty person. But she is one of the many people at fault for sitting with a thumb up her keester and do dick-all to prevent Boston Rob from winning a million dollars. However, Natalie decided to one up the rest of the clueless Ometepe bunch by actually listening to the advice of BRob that she was better off voting out her one friend and ally. It was her only move in the entire season and it was the only move that lost her any halfway decent shot at beating Rob. That and a very cruddy FTC that revealed she was more likable being an invisible then a player.

Vince Sly (Worlds Apart)




Ahahahahaha!!!

Okay, okay. Now I know this blog usually ranks people who I believe are low in character and Vince is among those people, don't get me wrong. But I'll be damned if I didn't have fun at his expense and it was one of my favorite moments in the season.

Before becoming similar to characters in Silence in the Lambs, Vince was a pretty douch-y hippy. He loved talking about what an amazing person he was and he had such a great spirit and great mind and he super really connected with his tribemate, Jenn, who just so happened to be the young, attractive, free-loving hippy. And then Jenn became much more enthralled with the much nicer, cooler alpha male Joe and poor Vince just couldn't have that.

And then....ugh...the scene he's in when he confronts Jenn made me legit scared for her to be camping with this loon. First he interrogates her on whether the girl is ATTRACTED to Joe cuz there's nothing wrong with bringing something like that up out of the blue. And then his face! When she makes him feel secure again, he wraps her in a hug and makes a face that would cause a girl to instinctively wrap their fingers around the pepper spray ASAP. It would've made for a really uncomfortable scenario if Jenn didn't totally have such a 'ugh, I deal with weirdos like this on a daily basis it's whatever' attitude about it and vote his ass far away from her as possible the first chance she got. It made a great moment in the season, so Vince gets a little higher on the shit pile of the awful people this season. But still in the shit pile nonetheless.




Whitney Duncan (South Pacific)



While she wasn't the most hated person on the season Whitney was one of the biggest disappointments I've ever had in a Survivor cast.

No one even pretended to be surprised when a member of Russell Hantz's family turned out to be just as unstable as he was, but Whitney was someone I was instantly drawn too. She was from Nashville, Tennessee (one of my favorite places) and a country singer, which I thought was very cool. At a time right after Redemption Island vomited onto our screen and the season was following it's awful 'veteran within a season of noobies' trend, she seemed to be a bright spot in the cast reveal.

Ironically, Whitney turned out to be one of the few South Pacific cast members I can't stand. She ended up being a lapdog for the douche alpha male and barely had any personality beyond that. And no, you can't even give her the 'she was using Keith for her own personal gain' card, unless that 'personal gain' is giving him access to her crotch area. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Whitney fucked (or at least had a relationship with) some tool on TV. Which wouldn't be so bad if she wasn't already married before she left to the island. Oh, and knowing full well that she's doing this, she has the BIGGEST cajones to berate Cochran for BETRAYAL of all things. What a horrid piece of awful.

And no, I don't include her loose marriage promises involved with my low ranking of her. Even without that knowledge, she still comes off as a pathetic whiner at best and a sore loser at worst.



Christa Hastie (Pearl Islands)



Christa had the voice of someone who sounded as though they were trying to talk without breathing out their nose. It was extremely annoying.

No really, that's like almost the entire reason I dislike Christa so much. That's not to say she didn't have an unlikable personality on top of it, but her agonizing voice just made me grow so much more disdain for her. I know that statement may be controversial, but I don't know where this 'good girl cutie blond' version of her is coming from with her fans cuz she was awful. The best example being with Christa asking Lillian a jury question in a matter that made it clear she clearly disliked Lillian and was going to vote for her close friend Sandra which Lillian would've understood anyway. But no, Christa had to be a piece of crap about it and scoff at her answer in a condescending way, but we all know Lillian couldn't win for losing with this sour grape.



Lindsey Cascaddan (Worlds Apart)



What? We're already back in Worlds Apart?

You see that thing on Lindsey's face? That's an actual tattoo. I'm not kidding. This girl actually chose of her own free will to walk into a tattoo parlor and say out loud 'I want to get a permanent, colorful mark on my face.' I assume she paid for it with real money. And while physical appearance has little to nothing to do with being a likable Survivor cast member, her inner beauty also matched her outer beauty in demonstrating her awful decisions.

I don't get what it is with people who feel they have to needlessly bark loudly about their religious and political views. The moment I'm speaking about was Lindsey bickering with Mike after he questioned her on her work ethic and her argument against him consisted of 'you think this fire got here because YOUR God put it there?'

To be clear, I don't have an issue with Lindsey being an atheist. But I don't like it when Jehovah witnesses knock on my door and get mad at me when I don't know the answer to their Bible trivia and I don't like it when someone points out to someone who wasn't asking about it that 'you are incorrect and YOU believe in God and I don't!' It just rubbed me the wrong way.

But don't worry, Lindsey sucks for other reasons. Mainly her loose mouth which she used to ramble at her only TC (think someone saying "ONE OF US IN THIS GROUP WILL WIN THE MONEY PROBST. WHETHER I'M VOTED OUT OR HE'S VOTED OUT. I FEEL VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS" only 50 words longer). She's also dumb enough to think there is purpose in arguing with Rodney who has the intelligence of a potato and the maturity of steroid using preschooler with low self-esteem so who the fuck cares what he thinks on anything?

JP Calderon (Cook Islands)



Hey ladies. Good news: lots of pics of this guy in his underwear. Bad news: he's gay...

It's hard to not think of any memory of JP where he isn't being anything other than a total douche. In fact, that's kind of everything there ever was to JP as a character. First, he was in complete agreement with Ozzy's bonehead plan to lose a challenge on purpose to get rid of Billy. When Billy catches onto the plan, he talks about it at his doom TC where as it turns out, having your team want to rid of you so badly they lose a challenge on purpose kind of makes you feel like crap. True to his douchebag nature, JP scoffs at Billy saying he's trying way too hard to make himself a victim knowing full well Billy was going home. Like, what? You can't let a losing player speak his final thoughts?

Next, in a true fashion of justice, JP fucks himself over with his douche behavior. Feeling comfortable he won't be going anytime soon cuz muscles, JP takes a load off his feet by sitting on his ass and sniping comments that got on a lot of peoples nerves. Deciding to make an example out of him, many of the ladies on his tribe got rid of him despite the muscles he was advertising and he left with a dropped jaw.



Roger Sexton (Amazon)



Next up is the highly unlikable Roger from Amazon. There is a small part of me that sort of sympathizes with Roger. I'm sure living with a group of men several decades younger then you who would rather talk with their penises then their brains isn't easy. Then I remembered Rodger from Australia, Jake from Thailand, and Butch in the same season and remember they did it just fine and he goes back on my shit list.

Roger was just a cranky old guy who had a specific way on doing practically everything. If you had a different way on doing it, he had no problem telling you it was wrong in a way that made you feel he thought you were a dumbass. When Roger wasn't barking orders, he was barking his political views on gay marriage and gender equality. That went about as well as you might expect for him. Regardless of which side of alliances you were rooting for, I think everyone got just a little bit of glee when Roger received a landslide of votes he didn't even know he'd be getting.


Stacey Stillman (Borneo)




There really wasn't too much to Stacey other than she didn't like working a lot and that meant she didn't like bossy Rudy a lot which means she didn't really have a lot of moments that wasn't her snotting off about how disrespected she felt from mean, ol Rudy. It just made her come off as a lazy bitch. It didn't help her case that Sue chose not to go with the girl power strategy due to her lazy attitude as well. The only thing that separated her from Australian Jerri was Stacey's attitude was so bad they couldn't stomach keeping her over the million year old man for more than 9 days, thus she never got the negative popularity Jerri received.

....what's that? Her court case? Well, by my rule I don't factor it into her ranking, but honestly I think Stacey is just being a sore loser. I'm not sure how anyone can say they are so certain everyone had their minds made up until a producer somewhere interfered. But who knows? I could very well be wrong. Whatever the case, I don't find her to be a very likable person.



Val Collins (San Juan del Sur)




I'm sure there are many people out there who will be surprised that my least favorite SJDS cast member isn't the infamous John Rocker (more on him later), but Val turned out to be a huge disappointment. I thought for certain a cop who's been married to a fireman would come into Survivor with a strong competitive spirit and be able to hold her own in challenges.

Not only did she fail to do well physically in challenges, but she failed to play a good mental game as well. For whatever reason, Val decided to burn a bridge for a potential ally by lying to him about having idols she didn't have. You'd think being a cop, Val knew the common sense of if you're gonna threaten someone with an empty gun, you run the risk of them calling your bluff. If being a poor competitor wasn't enough, Val decided to also show she could be a mean bully when she attempted to make Baylor look like a liar and a fake by spewing stories about things Baylor did and said. The problem was Val was so unnecessarily nasty about it, she just came off as a sore loser lunatic who only wanted to get one last jab into making a young girl feel bad.

Survivor Round Up


So if Blogger.com is to be believed, I started this Survivor rank a little over a year ago and so far we've got.....50 Survivors in the bank.

So progress isn't exactly going at Sonic the Hedgehog speed but I still plan on chipping away. And 50 seems like a solid number to do a brief wrap up of who my most disliked Survivors.



1) Phillip Sheppard (Redemption Island, Caramoan)

Alicia Calaway (Australia, All Stars)



Alas, another beloved player of mine who turned into an ugly bitter Betty on her 2nd play through.

How could you not love Alicia in Australia? Interestingly, she's one of the few women in Survivor history to be voted out for being a physically strong competitive threat to go along with her spunk and personality. She was a pretty solid player that was a nice addition to the amazing Australia cast. Unlike Jenna L, there was a lot of sense in asking Alicia back for another season.

Unfortunately, she was also a big addition to the biggest group of sore losers along with her leader Lex. Unlike Lex, who sounded as though he was trying to make an argument to a cause he believed in (stupid, petty, and wrong as it was), Alicia just came off as plain ol' pissy. And she turned into one more lady in my life to break my heart when the game show power of jury member fueled her flames as she aggressively berated Amber and Boston Rob in a rant that she must've practiced in a mirror at least a dozen times. Finally, she slammed the final nail in the 'suck' coffin when she cast her voted an spat a final, venomous 'fuck you' to Rob in a vote confession that sounded so rehearsed, it just threw her into a dimension of pathetic that she will never be able to recover from.

Jamie Newton (Guatemala)



The person who came closest to matching Judd's level of shit.

Jamie just wasn't a good person on the show. I first picked up on it when he voiced his dislike for Brianna by saying 'I like girls crazy and pretty. She's neither....' Huh. Sure your teammate on the outs of the group appreciated that one Jamie. Then there was the constant taunting like when he shrieked 'WHO'S SMILING NOW' to the losing team. So he's a pretty shit winner. More? Alright, what about the whining and bitching he did when the opposing team came over and nicely asked if they were interested in having a birthday party at their camp and relax for a day. Of course Jamie had to have a problem with this and whined about the enemy coming on their turf and it's stupid to go mingle with the enemy and typical douche-y shit. Is it any wonder Bobby Jon got all crazy-eyed at this turd? 

He also had a pretty weird idea of competing. Twice in the season, his team lost the match by a lot. Like it would take everyone a good couple of minutes to watch them get to the end. But Jamie, with some sort of competitive pride on the line, said 'no we're gonna finish! We're gonna finish' which caused his teammates to roll their eyes and mention the pointless-ness expending valuable energy to a challenge that was already over.



Shannon Elkins (Nicaragua)




What's up man-named-Shannon?

I'm sure going to the gym 6 hours a day and having a mother telling him how special he was made Shannon truly believe he was some sort of alpha male on his team cause he sure as hell did everything he could to show it off. But the only thing he had to show for it was a mouth that ran way too much. At first, there wasn't anything worth remembering him for. Typical 'Chase is watching her feelings cause she's a woman' crap.

Then the TC we know him for. Probst asks the usual 'hows it going so far Shannon' and Shannon just let loose. First he attempts to de-masculate Chase by calling Brenda his girlfriend, said he doesn't get any loyalty from 'home boy', and going the 15 year old route of calling Sash gay and the girls he's hooked up with are so much hotter then his. Alpha male bro...



Natalie Bolton (Fans vs Favorites)




A quick hypothetical: what if a group of men formed an alliance and began picking a group of ladies off one by one? In the process of doing so, the man alliance met up after every TC and laughed about how awesome they were because of how much more physically and mentally stronger they were then women. Saying 'if you can't beat them with these (points at bicep) then you can always beat them with these (points at head)." Seems kind of douche-y right? Now if you reverse the gender, you'd have the Black Widow alliance of Parvati, Cirie, Amanda, and Natalie. And everyone thought it was just sooooooooo awesome. -_-

I have no problem with women dominating in Survivor. Hell, I think overall they play the better game strategically and socially. However, I do have a problem with boasting about how incredibly smart and superior you are because you're gender is better then the other whether you be male or female.

So what does this have to do with Natalie? Well up until her alliance formed with Parvati, Amanda, and Cirie, Natalie had been pretty much invisible. Then she had a weird confessional out of the blue about how she's able to be more of herself because she's able to....backstab more.

Okay, so shes happy that she's more involved in the game. That's fine. But then she had all these odd sayings like how 'even though women are evil and manipulative, they totally are good people because we want people to have a good birthday which is why we're voting out James over Erik.' Um....what? You expect me to believe you're not voting for someone else because you're a considerate person in a vote where you have absolutely no stakes on the line? And you bring up the fact that it's a woman thing because...?

And now that she was getting more airtime, we were able to get a bigger grasp on her personality. And while I'm sure it was endearing for some, it came across as snobby and very unlikable for me. The best example I can think of is the chocolate cake item she got to share at an auction in which she turned around and barked 'okay Alexis, Cirie, do NOT hog the cake cuz I'm in a mood!' Ugh....

Lastly, there's the jury question: 'Hey Parvati. Lookin hot as hell today. So my question is how do you interpret how you play the game into the bedroom. Lolz.' Really Natalie? Why does being a jury member turn you into a frat guy trying to get laid? Weren't you on a team called 'fans'? Get her number after the show and quit being a pathetic star-struck mess and try being a fuckin Survivor player.
