125. Butch Lockley (Survivor: Amazon - 4th Place)

I liked Butch a lot because he was just a nice, quiet guy who even brought his kids' motivational banner on the show, just so he could use it to boost the moral of his team. He was pretty quiet and aligned himself with Roger, mainly because they were the only two older guys in the game. Amazon had a LOT of strong, leader-type players, and Butch was a follower, rather than a leader, which made him highly valuable while the leaders took each other out. He had a pretty bad edit, but he made it all the way to the final four in his season, and was probably only thwarted from making the final 2 because Jenna won the final four immunity challenge. His crowning moment in the game though, was in the final 5, I believe, when he stockpiled so much wood at camp that the other players began to make fun of him, and later on, while the team was at tribal council, the shelter burnt down with everyone's stuff in it, except for Heidi's or something. At the time, I enjoyed seeing Jenna get knocked down a peg, so I give Butch props for that and for being a crazy, wood-obsessed little man.


124. Wanda Shirk (Survivor: Palau - 19th Place)

And now we come to the last player on the list to have never officially been put on a tribe, Wacky Wanda Shirk. She was only on the show for one episode, and a hilarious episode it was. She spent most of the time singing and annoying the crap out of the other contestants (not true, but that editting was funny), and you could really tell that she loved Survivor and wanted to be on the show with all her heart. She wasn't playing a BAD game that first day. She just wasn't anyone's closest ally and she was a weaker physical player. That led to her not being picked in the initial pick 'em, sending her off the island without even getting to go to tribal council as she annoying Jonathan all the way home. She gets kudos and bonus points though, because she apparently called out CBS casting on what they did with Palau, casting a shitload of models who did nothing but make the season boring (pretty sure they've all already shown up on the list, save for Bobby Jon or Ian, if they was included in her allegation.)


123. Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano (Survivor: All-Stars - 2nd Place)

Rob just LOOKS like one of the sleasiest people on the planet, with his little porn star beard and moustache, but I can't really hold that against him, because he's married to Amber, who never talks and is hot, so he's definitely got something good going for him. Really, Rob was the only really great character on the Chapera tribe, but even he helped contribute to the tribe's overall suckiness (in all three incarnations) due to his attitude going into the game. I mean, he was a cutthroat guy, which I can appreciate a lot, but his betrayals of certain people in such mean ways led to the overall Rob hate at the end of the season, which gave us Amber, aka the worst winner of all time, strategically. Still, Rob managed to control the game like few people before him, playing the same game Brian played. Unfortunately, between Brian and Rob's final councils, the juries voted for the wrong winner each time, so that's a real shame. Honestly, I just liked Rob more in Marquesas, but this ranking also includes post-show stuff, so he makes it this high because it's funny that he's lost at least four different reality shows, yet he's still a millionaire, thanks to Amber.


122. Elisabeth Filarski (Survivor: Australia - 4th Place)

I know a lot of people hate Elisabeth nowadays, since she became a shrill, Republican supporter on The View, but really, I'm a Republican, so I don't mind that much, especially since I doubt any of the other three women share Elisabeth's views, so she's outnumbered right off the bat. Anyway, Elisabeth was the second sweetheart in Survivor history, after Colleen in Borneo, and I think she filled the role nicely. She had her father/daughter relationship with Rodger, where he sacrificed himself to buy her just a few more days in the game. But really, there was only so much niceness the show needed. That was the problem with Australia. After Jerri left, there wasn't really any conflict or drama, so were were left with a relatively boring season. Nice people are fine; they're the ones you want to win, but there needs to be a jerk or two in the mix to spice things up. Plus, Elisabeth is apparently the main cause of there being no attempts at switching the game up, due to her unfounded loyalty to Tina, so she made the season more boring, which hurts her in this ranking.


121. Paschal English (Survivor: Marquesas - 4th Place)

I liked Paschal a lot during Marquesas because I tend to like the older players, and Paschal seemed like a sweet, gentlemanly guy for most of his time in the game. Why people thought Neleh was more of a jury threat than him, I'll never know. He, like Rodger/Elisabeth two seasons earlier, had a father/daughter relationship with Neleh, and just like Rodger, he fell on his sword to save her at the final 4 when he was unwilling to change his vote and was booted as a result but the misfortune of picking the unlucky purple rock. Paschal had a role in the toppling of the Rotu 4, but he didn't seem quite as naive as Neleh, so the jury didn't seem quite as upset at him as they were at her. He lasted for 37 days only to have the shock of a lifetime when the final 3 tribal council started and Paschal wasn't there. He had apparently fainted due to either malnutrition or dehydration or something like that. In the end, he voted for his surrogate daughter to win the game, but he came up just short. He also had a fight with Sean at the final 5 tribal council, but I don't really remember it, so it didn't really affect this ranking.

I actually like feminazi alliances, if only because it's a smart move. I mean, women rarely get credit for gameplay anymore, especially because juries naturally tend to reward men more often, so all-female alliances are a respectable game move.

Jenna M., Jerri and Boston Rob aren't fully out yet >_>
