Getting interrupted at tribal council makes you a goddess. Good logic.
Hahahaha truly :)
Would love to see Chelsea, Angela, Jenna, or Sebastian go home next since they don't really provide anything in terms of entertainment or strategy (other than Sebastian's weird confessionals), but it seems like a guarantee that Chris is gone barring a challenge win on his part or if Dom neither has the numbers nor plays an idol.
I know Wendell had a ton of preseason hype, but I was hesitant to buy into it. He continues to quietly impress, and I really hope he goes deep. Michael is killing it, and I still find it crazy that he's three years younger than me. Donathan not only impressed with his challenge performance, but is quickly becoming a legitimate player out here. I'd like to see more from Laurel...hopefully next episode. And Kellyn continues to play well, though I'm kind of tired of hearing about her trusting her gut by now.
I gotta say I kind of agree with Jeff's comments on Domenick in the challenge...what the hell kind of dive is that? Desiree actually seemed to have similar struggles with the swimming part...why would anyone go onto Survivor without knowing how to dive/swim effectively? I mean I'm not saying you need to be a pro, but some idea would be helpful.
Don't worry, you'll at least take second to last ahead of me even if Angela is the next one out :p
Personally I think you're just trolling people with your rankings...but, in the off chance you aren't, then yes, it's "just your opinion", but you posted it in a public forum, and others on here are entitled to their own opinions on your ranking. The fact that you put every single female winner above every single male winner is laughable.
I am basing my list on performance within their winning season, meaning that as much as people like to hate on Boston Rob, it is his dominant game in Redemption Island that is what matters (though I do still bump him down slightly for it being his fourth time, otherwise he'd be higher). Likewise, JT absolutely killed it in Tocantins before flopping in his later performances.

Decided to figure this out for myself, and my average placement for the best-looking woman is 9th place, so...around average for any player in general when you account for 16/18/20 player seasons. But it's purely a matter of opinion.

Was very sad to see James go over Desiree, even though her game seems to be improving slightly. It frustrates me enormously that players like Chelsea, Angela, Sebastian and Desi are still in the game while James, Brendan, Stephanie and Morgan are out. At least Bradley has been consistently portrayed as doing something. I know this is what happens in Survivor, but rarely have so many of my pregame and early game favorites gone out so soon.
I fear Kellyn is going to turn into the Micronesia/HvV Cirie-always targeting people I want to stay and making me irritated with her in the process, even if I can appreciate her as a player outside of that. If a Naviti wins this game I'd like it to be Kellyn.
I'd like to see Chelsea go home next, but I don't realistically see that happening without an idol or some other advantage coming into play, and that would likely require an extremely fortuitous Ghost Island trip for Libby since Donathan is probably safe and Domenick has the Naviti idol already. I don't care that strongly about Libby herself, but I consider her a step up from Chelsea.
If Yanuya loses, I wouldn't mind seeing Chris go, but I kind of want to see Chris vs Dom as the first merge battle, and their division should be helpful for the former Malolos going forward, which I consider a plus as I'd like Michael, Laurel, and Donathan to make it deep. I'd prefer to see Sebastian voted out by Wendell/Laurel/Jenna as Chris's right hand man, but I doubt it'd happen.
On Malolo, I'd like to see Desi go, because she's a bigger threat to the people I'd like to see advance than Angela is. Michael seems doomed without some form of protection, but I have a strong feeling Malolo will not lose next week and he'll hang on once more.

Soo...I win now right? We were picking the people who would get eliminated earliest, right?
RIP :(
Sigh...at least I still have half of my team on the Inside Survivor dream tribe game, and half of my team in the fantasy game I'm doing with some friends.
Brendan
Morgan
Jacob
James
...Brian Heidik (I mean the guy shot a puppy with an arrow after winning) are probably the most despicable.
But that was after the show. His life after the show doesn't transfer into his game on Survivor. Brian played likely the most genius game ever.
Correct. That's why I put him in the "worst because they're a terrible person" section of my list and not the "worst because they suck at the game" section. As you can see I had two separate categories.
Of course Brian played a great game.
Sandra, Courtney, Randy, Todd, both Rob Cesternino and Boston Rob.
I usually give Melissa McNulty a pass from the "quitters" list since Survivor's psychologists specifically recommended against her going on the show (something they really should have done for Brandon Hantz, incidentally).
I would, however, list most quitters amongst the worst players because so many of them threw away a position hundreds of thousands or perhaps even millions of people wish they had. Also in the running for worst from a terrible player perspective are Francesca and several other early boots.
From a terrible person perspective, I would say Colton, Alicia, Ben Browning, Russell and Brian Heidik (I mean the guy shot a puppy with an arrow after winning) are probably the most despicable.
1. I actually enjoyed this challenge (although I completely agree that the emphasis on the widespread and exotic locations was diminished by the fact that they're in Fiji for another two seasons and possibly more-although I do believe that for 39/40 they'll do someplace new even if 37/38 are yet another pair of Fiji seasons).
2. I expected Simone to go, but I was surprised by how bad they made Patrick look in this episode for someone who at the end only received Simone's vote. It will be interesting to see if his negative edit continues into future episodes and whether his weirdness was highlighted to increase the elimination suspense or will continue to be cited as a reason to get rid of him.
3. Not loving the showmance on the Healers tribe, but they've been nowhere near as annoying thus far as Taylor and Figgy. Although whether that's a testament to Cole and Jessicas' personalities or just that we haven't had multiple weeks of it I don't know.
While this sounds like a fantastic idea, personally I don't think they should make this a full season. I recognize the military is made up of a diverse group of people and there are numerous different jobs within it, but I would still be concerned about having everyone on a season be military (I'd also want to avoid any other singular job-police, doctors, lawyers, students etc.) however a charity event that includes a mini or even full-length game of Survivor benefitting veterans or something like that featuring military personnel (or at least ex-military since it may not be possible for them to get the time off) sounds like a fantastic idea. Not to mention having some more veterans on the show might be a nice move on casting's part. It's definitely an important and massive subsection of the population.
My #1 going in is Patrick...but Ryan, Roark, Cole and Ashley are all near the top. The first episode will likely lead to one of those 5 being my favorite.
Sinjoh do you NOT like passive-aggressive creepy love? It's clearly much more interesting than boring old "normal" or "healthy" love.
On a more relevant note...I'm not actually 100% sure what led me to discovering this. It was most likely 2013, which was when I began entertaining myself by making mock Survivor games. During Cagayan I started my progression towards being a superfan and actively went to work memorizing contestant info, watching previous seasons I hadn't seen, etc. By 2015 I'd decided I wanted to play myself and that was when I switched from lurker to member.
Ah never mind. I thought you meant people blindsided by an idol play.
There might be some problems with such a list...I mean, do you include only the people who had no knowledge idols were present in the game until one made an appearance and led to their blindside? Everyone who was under the impression that an idol wouldn't be played/wouldn't be played against them but knew they were present? People who acknowledge the possibility of being idoled out and are thus unsurprised by it even if not knowing for sure it would happen? What about Cirie, who went home with no votes against her after all votes were negated by idols and thus was "blindsided" by default through no intent of anyone else? I like the idea, but it just seems like such a list would not have the factual basis of other contestant lists.
