Neleh kind of annoyed me, but her intentions really were good.

wtf how was Tina screwed going into All-Stars, but Rob C wasn't? Rob C was more screwed than anybody except maybe Hatch.

I said Rob was screwed. He just seemed to have a worse attitude about it than Tina.

220. Carl Bilancione (Survivor: Africa - 14th Place)

I liked the Elders a LOT more than I liked the Mall-Rats in Africa, much like most normal people on the planet. But of the Elders, it didn't really help Carl that he was the first boot, because Teresa got her underdog older sweetheart story, Frank was just awesome in general, and Linda was batshit insane. Carl was just a normal guy who kinda played second fiddle to Frank and was a dentist. I will admit that he played a good role in Frank's storyline, giving us a few good Frank quotes, but other than that, Carl's entire time in the game hinges on one tribal council that basically was the most upsetting tribal council in history to that point. The Mall-Rats were going to force a tie. It was a done deal. But who would they force a tie against since there was no past votes tiebreaker? Frank, the outdoors wildlife expert who would own them in a trivia challenge? Linda, the crazy woman who talked about Mother Africa non-stop and would probably also own them in a trivia challenge? Teresa, the only elder they actually liked? Nope, they chose Carl, the weakest challenge competitor and played it off as him already having enough money. And wouldn't ya know it, he lost to Lindsey, screwing the Elders over for several episodes. Other than that though, not very memorable, so he ranks in the bottom 100.


219. Jenn Lyon (Survivor: Palau - 4th Place)

When I originally did this ranking, I had Jenn right there with Becky because they're very similar as attractive young girls who got crappy edits and made it to the finale. I put them close to one another so I wouldn't seem biased in favor of white girls. But in retrospect, Jenn is still weak, but not even close to Becky's level. Jenn was actually one of the strongest women in the game, as she proved by doing her best to fight of Stephenie and performing decently in the challenges. And even though she had a showmance and was a sheep, she still managed to pull off some near-Houdini moves in the final episode when she knew her ass was on the chopping block. Due to Ian fucking up, Jenn managed to break open a crack in the alliance of three and turned Tom against Ian, and had Katie voted out her boyfriend instead of going to the final 3 with two guys she would never beat in the final 2, Jenn might've survived. But alas, Jenn was thwarted by a fire-making tiebreaker and got sent home. Also, she has cancer now, so I do support her in that. I just thought she was boring for most of Palau.


218. Dolly Neely (Survivor: Vanuatu - 17th Place)

First off, did they actively seek her out, because it seems rather funny that they'd manage to find a sheep farmer named Dolly and cast her on Survivor. Anyway, Dolly is another sweetheart that really didn't make much of a difference to me, partly because she was gone by episode 2, and partly because Vanuatu is another season that had plenty going for it so it didn't need a sweetheart edit to improve things. Dolly's just one of those people who's too nice to play the game of Survivor, and her story in episode two was enough to have a Survivor term named after her, despite Christy and Big Tom doing it first. Dolly was basically in an ideal position. She had friendships with the older women and friendships with the younger women, so essentially, she was the swing vote. But because she was so wishy-washy and no one knew where the hell she stood, the older women decided not to take any chances, pulled in Eliza as the older women's original target, desperate to save herself, and voted out Dolly, changing the game forever. Other than that, not a whole lot to say about Dolly, although she had a great ass.


217. Edgardo Rivera (Survivor: Fiji - 9th Place)

Yeah, yeah, I know last time I had Edgardo in my top 100, but that was based solely on how hot he is and not on really him as a Survivor character. As a character, Edgardo was just extremely generic, although his cuteness was enhanced by him having a Latin accent. He was in the main alliance on original Moto where he was one of the few members who DIDN'T go out of his way to completely alienate the people NOT in the main alliance. But then things went downhill for Edgardo. He was swapped over to NuRavu and was stuck with all male tribemates until the merge. This, of course, encouraged him and Alex to bring in Mookie and Dreamz, both utter morons, as allies to become the Four Horsemen. That didn't last too long due to a series of piss-poor decisions made at the final 11 and the merge. Edgardo's real claim to fame is that he was the unfortunate victim of one of the best tribal councils ever, when the Horsemen thought Alex was going, so he played their idol. Dreamz thought Mookie was going. And everyone else knew Edgardo was going, and voted him out over the two bigger threats specifically to avoid the threat of the idol. Plus, he seemed the least bitter of the three Horsemen on the jury, so he ranks this highly.


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

First, let me just say that Alexis should never, ever wear her hair up ever again. It doesn't look right, and instead looks like she has a living rat's nest sitting atop her head. She looked so nice in her cast photo, so that was an extreme disappointment. Anyway, Alexis didn't do much of anything in Micronesia, other than play follower to more dominant players for the entire game. Seriously, even Natalie became interesting at some point during the season, yet Alexis was boring the whole way through. Going into the game, just like with Amanda in China, I picked her as a strong contender to win, and given how big of fuck-ups the fans were, of the fans, she certainly was a great pick to win. But Alexis' storyline basically fizzled early and all she was good for was making Amanda freak out when Alexis was hanging out with Ozzy, which made her a jealous whore and wanted Alexis gone for entirely personal reasons. And of course, I'm sure things were personal when Alexis got idolled out of the game by Amanda at the final 6, too. But Alexis pretty much has nothing else going for her, other than the hilarious website where she describes herself as "That Girl" and wants people to pay for her words of wisdom. That's so delusionally pathetic that it's actually funny.
