144. Helen - Mr Brightside (Debb's Hags)

As far as I can remember, Helen was one of the people who didn't bother talking to Wanda much. As wonderful and personable as she was, Wanda didn't initiate too many PMs so the players who actually tried to converse with her stand out. Helen wasn't one of them, and she wasn't one of the more interesting hags all game long, to be honest. She was pretty UTR and dull, and worst of all, she beat Alffy in yet another jury vote (the only one I had a say in, though I wasn't there to convince anyone to vote with me). Zoe was way more likable and way more dominant, and I didn't see anything from Helen to justify her winning. Granted, I wasn't exactly in the game for most of it, but still, she could have been slightly more entertaining, like most of the cast.

143. Swanky Kong - Quiddity (Bowser's Castle)

There were two monkeys in this game who I didn't talk to on a regular basis. And there's a reason those two monkeys were the first active ones to go (because the only time I controlled Bowser's Castle was in the beginning, lawl). Unlike the other one, Swanky actually was playing the game. He had a couple of allies and was just trying to fly under the radar for as long as possible. I quickly made him my first real target, but he came out of nowhere to win the PoV when he needed it, which annoyed me. I successfully set him up and got him out, but I don't really like when players go about their strategic business and just avoid involving me. I'm glad I eliminated the two low-key players right off the bat. I mean, the winner was still UTR, but at least he was interesting.

142. Danni - cadge33 (Guatemala Redux)

Danni was a late arrival to Nakum and I assumed she would not last long in the game. She had annoying typing patterns and I really didn't bother paying much attention to her. Eventually she made Final 2 and lost. That's about all I've got. These updates right now suck because most of these people are ones I didn't really have much of an opinion of.

141. Leann - ptcruisn56 (Tanzania)

Princess Leann, the odd player who didn't really factor into your plans but who you couldn't entirely ignore, either. Sometimes I use second person when I talk about myself. But that was my experience with Leann, most definitely. She was fickle and couldn't be trusted, but at least I knew I couldn't trust her, so I didn't put any faith into her loyalty. It's hard to describe my relationship with her because there wasn't a whole lot I was comfortable telling her yet there was no real reason to exclude her, either. I assumed Leann was Gary's sheep, but after he left, I found out she had quite the mind of her own and it would have been interesting to see her go far. Still, I never formed a real relationship with her and she was a variable I'd have preferred not to have in my game.

140. Sylvia - Will (Debb's Hags)

Sylvia really wasn't much different than Helen, in my mind. But she's ranked a bit higher because at least I saw her perform well in challenges and at least she didn't go on to win the game (and rob Alffy of his victory). She was also a bit more obnoxious, but not by much. As far as I could tell, Sylvia was UTR and boring, not really the best for an early juror like me to watch from the sidelines.

139. Wayne - lemurwrench (The Nightclub)

I feel bad about bashing lemurwrench, but Wayne really was unbearable, you know? His social game was atrocious, rivaled only by Marz's. There was no way to hold a conversation with him unless it was strictly strategic, and even then, he didn't have much insight to offer on that front. I forged an alliance with him and clearly laid out its terms. He told me he understood. Later on, when I made a reference to those terms, he was confused and clearly had not understood me. People who didn't comprehend Synn's technical speak were a nuisance, because I really didn't want to have to tone down my vocabulary and simplify my clauses just to make a plain point. It was absurd that Wayne lasted as long as he did and he was exactly the kind of player I did not want to deal with in the game.

That being said, sometimes his incompetence was amusing. As frustrating as it was for him to just up and disappear after winning the Bouncer competition, leaving Alffy to do away with selective voting altogether for the round, stuff like that must have been pretty humorous from an objective third person perspective. And Wayne made it far enough to be proud of his effort, but not far enough to really ruin the game, so his legacy isn't too awful.

138. Courtney - The Marquesan Godfather (Stranded: All-Stars)

Let me start off by saying that even if Courtney had been awesome in ASS, her ranking would have been hurt by my experience co-hosting Peru, where she was just awful to watch play. She spent most of her time bitching about how boring the game was and how little she wanted to participate. She didn't give a shit when she was voted out and her damn unnecessary car lie not only got me banned from the boards for trying to keep things fair, but slandered Lill for no reason whatsoever.

Fact is, Courtney didn't make up very much for all of that in All-Stars. She was straight with me, which I respected. She never gave me any bullshit and had a clear game plan that didn't involve my success. She didn't try to cater to my jury vote because she recognized that her efforts would only go in vain. She had the decency to acknowledge my intelligence as a juror and my ability to see past bull, and hell, maybe she was just playing me for my vote after all, but if she was, she didn't get it, so there. :P

I didn't have a problem with Courtney in ASS, she just didn't impress me a whole lot. She deserved her win and she was probably one of the BNB people who had the best approach with me as a minority. But she wasn't too much happier than she was in Peru, and my experiences with her there were awful enough to rank her this low on the list.

137. Juliet - Romber Rulz (Vertigo)

I really don't remember anything about Juliet except that she was boring and lame and I didn't have an opinion of her. She was also part of the female group that wanted me gone and helped vote me out. So she ends up here by default, almost. Everyone above her had some redeeming quality, or at least a complete and utter lack of any negative attributes.

136. Margaret - ptcruisn56 (Guatemala Redux)

Margaret was one of my first allies in the game, but I quickly realized she was also one of the bigger players on the tribe. Blake's game plan was to knock out players like that. Not necessarily the good ones, just the really out-there ones. So I gunned for Margaret and I pretty much destroyed her reputation. She didn't have a chance at surviving after all the character attacks I launched against her. For that, I have some sympathy, because she didn't exactly do much to deserve it. But I still rank her low because it turns out she hated my guts even before I started my campaign. She was totally cold in her confessionals and relatively unlikable on the whole. And she did lead the charge to get me out, after all, robbing the world of what could have been a fantastic character.

135. Linda - NickF227 (Debb's Hags)

Linda did talk to me during the first two rounds of the game, but god, it was awful. Responding to her PMs was like a chore, and she never offered anything interesting to say. She just took to my persona and would send one-word messages with a heart tacked onto the end. Totally boring. When she eventually got the boot, she bitched about how close she was to winning though it was obvious even to me that she hadn't had a chance. I can't judge her much because I didn't really have much perspective into the game and at least she was pretty active and all that jazz, I suppose. But from what I saw, I didn't like her much. And hell, she looked absolutely glorious next to Helen or Sylvia. Maybe if Patricia wasn't in the game for so long, Linda wouldn't have been overshadowed as much as she was.
