92. James Clement (Survivor: China - 7th Place & Survivor: Micronesia - 7th Place)

At the start of China, I liked James, because he was a lovable and a hard worker. He was a dominator in pretty much every challenge his tribe competed in, and he was basically the main reason that Zhan Hu couldn't win anything, because none of them could compare to him. But then by episode 3, James started rubbing me the wrong way. He was buddies with Jean-Robert, and he started saying some mean things about Leslie while she'd been kidnapped. He acted somewhat chauvanist, because he was one of those plyers that seemed to think strength was everything, and if you weren't strong, you were useless. James proved to be little more than a challenge hog, because he basically had no idea how to think strategically, and even Todd had to personally explain to him how to use the immunity idol properly, going into the final, pre-merge tribal council.

After the merge, James was sitting pretty because Fei Long had a majority alliance, and he had two immunity idols in his possession. Of course, because he wasn't the brightest bulb in the box, he never even thought to play one of them, and he was the first person to ever get voted out while holding onto an immunity idol. The main reason why I rank him as high as I did was because he hardly seemed bitter when he was voted out, like a lot of the stronger players are. He was pretty humble about it, actually, and he was nice in his final jury question. So basically James was just a good guy at the beginning, and good guy at the end, and those somewhat made up for his bad middle.

In Micronesia, James hadn't really changed much. He had his little relationship with Parvati and his alliance with Amanda and Ozzy, but other than that, he was pretty much the same, chauvanistic guy. He only really gets a boost in his overall ranking because of the fact that, this season, he wasn't shoved down our throats. He wasn't the heroic challenge God that could never lose. He was just a regular contestant that gave funny confessionals and ate bats. Still, he's an idiot with all his talk of "not eating the apple" (aka, making strategic moves). If only he could've been voted out instead of being medevaced, that would've been awesome.

212. Alexis Jones (Survivor: Micronesia - 6th Place)

Going into this write-up, I knew that there was no way I could rank Alexis more than ten spots away from Becky & Jenn. She was the same exact type of player. No personality, basically just young, eye-candy that rides coattails as long as she can. And that's another thing. Compared to Jenn and Becky, Alexis wasn't even that hot. She looked like a stoner homeless person, aka, a female Jason Castro. She winds up ranking below both Becky AND Jenn mainly because when she wasn't completely ignored, she was basically bitchy and unpleasant, yet she has this dellusional view of herself. When she was voted off, she said that Amanda and Parvati betrayed her. Parvati SAID she couldn't vote for Amanda, and she voted for Amanda herself! Alexis sucked so bad and it would've been a crying shame if she made it to the end and won.
