* 62. YASMIN "SASSY YASSY" GILES *
To understand the greatness of Yasmin one need look no further than her edgic chart
Brilliant. I've decided that if I ever appear on Survivor I want my edgic chart to look just like this. A series of alternating INVs and OTTNs until my inevitable early boot. Such a rollercoaster <3 Yasmin's inclusion on this list was basically a given because she's such a ridiculous character that ignoring her would feel really forced and unnatural. I feel like it's hard to judge who is and isn't amazing while a season is airing because it's all so fresh and this season in particular seems to lack that special bit of ~magic~, but I firmly believe that by the time Survivor 37 rolls around people will be singing Yasmin's praises. She and her equally ridiculous OTTN counterpart Ben have been the only standout things about this season so far and the ~controversy~ brewed between the two of them is probably going to be the best thing to come out of Samoa pointblankperiod. Yasmin was my preseason favorite and I have a really spotty record with those (John was my favorite guy preseason based on his potential trainwreck factor. lololololol at bland he is), but in this case I think I was dead on. It's a travesty that she didn't last longer, but at the same time her completely obvious early boot status almost makes her entire persona, you know?
On Yasmin's personality: A lot of people complain endlessly that the women cast on
Survivor are too bland, unlike frontrunner peen legends like Mick, Brett, John and Jaison, I guess 
Anyfuckingway, no one could possibly
say that about Yasmin. If anything, people were offended by Yasmin having too much personality. I find her honesty and exuberance refreshing
albeit a little cartoonish. I think her energy and unique perspective really livened up the cast.
On Yasmin's gameplay: Yasmin seemed to have a really great bond with fellow ketchup sandwich enthusiast Russell S. but beyond that (and her historic stereotype-reinforcing strategy of inertness) it didn't seem like she had much of a game plan. But apparently no one in the show has one if they're not named Russell H. so w/e.
On Yasmin's placement: As I said, I knew Yasmin was going to make it onto the list but I struggled a lot with where to place her. Part of me thought that her sheer ludicrousness should boost her higher than some of the less inspiring borewhores, but other parts of me felt that her overall impact on the game didn't warrant a higher placement. It was a tough choice and since my heart wasn't 100% invested in this season anyway, I decided to put her in the middle of the bottom half of the list. It's difficult to talk about. Even if they ever do a second chance season of Survivor I expect I will never again see Yasmin's perpetual stankface again
RIP Yasmin.
