Chris may have been handfed the plan, but it wouldn't have worked without him, since Eliza would never listen to Twila or Scout.

Right, but I don't really consider not alienating someone brilliant gameplay. That's the mistake Scout/Twila made, but Chris didn't. Pulling someone in who'd be voted out otherwise really isn't that amazing, IMO.

Yes it is, because look how it turned out.

I think Chris played brilliantly after he survived final 7. But the move at final 7 was not anything impressive on his part. So what if he got Eliza to vote with them? Anyone who didn't piss her off would have been able to do that. Chris was just sitting back and Twila/Scunt hand fed him the plan.

Danni was the least threatening of the post-merge minority alliance. At F7, Rafe and Steph decided to get rid of idiot loser Jamie. That worked so well that they then decided to get rid of idiot loser Judd. There was no "ripping them open" by Danni. Danni made a F2 agreement with Rafe, which he then annulled for her after the F3 IC. Danni won the F3 IC, but she should have been gone at F4 except for Rafe's and Steph's combined stupidity. Danni was the "default" winner in Guatemala.

Yes, and getting rid of Judd was absolutely retarded. But Danni played Rafe. She got Lydia and herself to let Judd incriminate himself and stretched what he said to make it look like Judd was threatening both Rafe and Steph's positions. It was brilliant the way she played it, IMO. Just thinking about it, Rafe was a pretty good player. A pretty good player isn't going to make dumb move after dumb move without someone playing him. Danni played him and got him to do things he shouldn't have done.

Chris should have been gone by F7 except for (a) the dumb Yasur women target Eliza before Chris (b) stupid Leann tells Scout that Julie has passed her in the pecking order and (c) Twila spoonfeeds the coup to dense Chris. Sarge and Chad would have been able to convince Eliza just as much as Chris, so he really gets too much credit for this as well.

Exactly, I 100% agree. Anyone who didn't piss off Eliza could have gotten Eliza's vote. Chris didn't do anything special. He just put the last piece of the puzzle in, and he was handed the piece. I still think he played an amazing game after that though.

EDIT: Congrats you got 1200 :)

Yay thanks <3

Since no one seems interested, I'll just skip the questions from here on out.







































159. Peter Harkey (Survivor Marquesas)

I hated Peter when I first watched Marquesas. I thought he was a jerk for the way he handled the voting situation, not to mention he was a so weird, especially with all the holes talk. Plus, my fave, Gina, didn't like him. But rewatching the season, he was a great character for a first boot and was far more developed then many people who make it to the end game in recent seasons. I appreciate him as a character and I think his quirks are entertaining, so he makes it this high.



































158. Patricia Jackson (Survivor Marquesas)

I actually liked Mama. I thought she was a riot to watch. She was pretty funny with her barking orders, and the tool tree scene was pretty hilarious. In the first episode, I felt bad for her, and I was rooting for her to get out of the poor situation in the tribe that she was in. Plus, she hooked up with Gina and Hunter's alliance. <3 Unfortunately, I really don't want to put her much higher than this. Her bossy side was a bit much at times as well.












































157. Todd Herzog (Survivor China)

This was the winner who I originally had at #193. During China, I thought Todd was a cocky asshole and I really detested him because he thought he was so much better than everyone else. But to be honest, he kind of was. Strategically at least. He kicked a lot of ass, and he backed all his talk up with action. Even his "questionable" moves like giving James the idol and voting out JR over James had reasonable explanations. The only weakness was that Amanda pretty much decided how far he'd go in the game towards the end, but she misjudged that he was hated by the jury. But he was totally at her mercy, and he didn't even know it.


















































156. Lillian Morris (Survivor Pearl Islands)

I really liked Lill at first. I thought she was a sweet woman, and it was too bad she was outcasted at Morgan. Though she kind of asked for it when she ratted out the person who was trying to help her game. But I digress. When she came back, I absolutely loathed her. She whined, she cried over petty retarded shit, she complained, she had NO mind of her own... she kept asking Burton and Jon to tell her exactly what to do and say etc. And then she had the audacity to question Sandra's ability to think for herself. But she did get treated pretty poorly. I <3 Sandra, but kicking sand in Lill's face? Not cool. The only reason Lill makes it this high is because by the end of the season, she wised up and started playing the game for herself. And her final TC speech where she called everyone out on their self-righteous bullshit was amazing. <3

































155. Chad Crittenden (Survivor Vanuatu)






























154. Nick Stanbury (Survivor Panama Exile Island)

Nick was kind of boring, but he makes it this high because he was a pretty genuine guy, and he was part of the La Mina alliance which I was rooting for pretty hard core. <3 La Mina + Cirie. But yeah, mostly up here by association.






























153. Brook Geraghty (Survivor Vanuatu)

I was a big fan of Brook during Vanuatu, and seeing his audition tape made me like him even more. He really had a lot of heart for the game, and I think if the young guys hadn't been stupid enough to turn down Sarge, he would have done really well in the game. The chips just didn't fall right. Probably would have done better if it weren't gender divided to. But his post-show mediawhoreness puts him a lot lower than he would have been.





























152. Katie Gallagher (Survivor Palau)

Katie would probably be about 100 spots lower if I didn't love her post show, because her commentary on those DVD's were absolutely hilarious. She's a really, really funny gal, and I wish she had been as funny on the show. But instead, she was lazy, bitchy, rude, obnoxious and just plain pathetic. I really did not enjoy her in Palau at all, but her post show hilarity brings her up 100 notches.



























151. Brady Finta (Survivor Vanuatu)

In the opening episode, I really liked Brady. He was nice, smart, and seemed like a good guy who would do really well. I had him pegged in the final 4 pre-show, I believe. But he kind of floundered with the young guys and pretty much was a sitting duck. Though he was kind of boring for several episodes, which puts him low. But what brings him up was his tenacity to stay in the game and try very hard to provide etc. He had potential, and in any other season, he probably would have done really well.






































150. Stacey Stillman (Survivor Borneo)

For someone who almost brought down my favourite show, she should probably be a lot lower, but I liked Stacey on the show. I sided with her in the whole Rudy conflict, because I did think Rudy was being an ass, opening things he wasn't supposed to be opening etc. But Stacey was kind of a bitch, and she did sue the show, so she's lower than I would have put her. But I thought she was an interesting character, kind of wish she made it further.
