38. Coby Archa

Survivor: Palau, 9th/20
"I'm a butterfly"

That may not be the actual quote but whatevs. This is definitely the most O_O choice on this list from my perspective, but when I was going through the seasons, Coby just stood out to me. I had to make a lot of hard decisions to narrow it down to 40 but for some reason I just couldn't cut Coby.

It's probably because my favorite quality in a castaway is that they emote. And emote Coby did. So many t.ears. ;_; He actually was in a weird way the "sweetheart" of Koror. His story about quitting school and become a homeless gay prostitute or whatever was pretty unique. He was also both intentionally and unintentionally hilarious. The random self-destruction at the merge for like no reason at all was pure laffos, something like straight out of an ORG <333 He would have been pure GOLD on Micronesia.

Another thing I like about Coby is that at no point did he try to hide who he was (*cough* Spencer *cough*). It's uber funny how the gay people here want everyone to be so accepting but whenever a gay guy who's not afraid to show his gayness shows up they get all self-righteous and embarassed. I realize not all gays are like Coby, but still.

And to top it off he heart-warmingly named his adopted daughter after this wonderful woman, number 37. :o

37. Janu Tornell

Survivor: Palau, 8th/20
"I will lay down my torch to give Stephenie a chance to stay"

I don't have much to write about her but I love Janu for two main reasons.
1. She laid around in a hammock for 3 weeks crying and moping about like a crazy old aunt
2. The Exile Island episode is one of my favos in Survivor history. Janu's fire dance was one of the most epic moments ever. Also, modern Survivors should really learn a lesson from her. Sacrificing yourself in the name of better TV is always a respectable option.
