Boston Rob in the post-switch episodes of Marquesas (especially the merge)...perhaps ASS too but that depends on the person. Chris in the last few episodes of Vanuatu Cirie? Maybe. More so in Micronesia since she was outplaying fan favorites like Ozzy and Yau-man but still retained popularity. Jonathan after the merge in CI

Jonathan after the merge in CI That's a pretty good list, but I remembered Rob Cesternino as being more hated because he branded himself as the second coming of Hatch, but yeah. In a way, Hatch himself isn't really a villain either. Even after he won, half the audience in that poll thought that he didn't do anything wrong.

The fact that he defeated the feminazi alliance and single-handedly took down a 6 person alliance is pretty damn heroic. But he made point to be a total asshole when he was doing it, which made him kind of villainous too.

I guess that's true in some cases but generally it refers to a character who doesn't fit the typical hero mold and may even have characteristics more suited for villains--yet they're still a protagonist. As for Cesternino--I wasn't around here during Amazon but I remember he usually got a positive response from viewers. He was weaselly yet charming enough that you could root for him, especially compared to Brian the season before.

I don't know. I know Lex didn't like him, but he's in an entirely different universe mentally.

James Dean's character in Rebel Without a Cause). For Survivor, the best example is Sean Rector.

So likeable villains wouldn't count. Examples I can think of: Brian H. (possibly) Rob C. Rob M. (All-Stars) Todd Parvati Fang (for a time)

I never took him seriously as a sexist. The comment about the women doing his laundry I think was made to be tongue in cheek. At least that's the impression I got. Would anyone consider Sean K an anti hero? He wasn't a villain, but was too dense and hypocritical in his rationalizations to be truly likeable* *General consensus. I thought he was hilarious and awesome.

A good example would be Knuckles from the Sonic universe. - The Raro Brats? - Rivals to the Aitu 4 but still against Jonathan - Kenny and Crystal? - Rivals to Sugar, Bob and Matty but still against Randy and Corinne A character who doesn't fit the typical hero mold and may even have characteristics more suited for villains--yet they're still a protagonist. - Rob C, Cirie in Micronesia, Stephenie in Guatemala, Boston Rob, Kenny, Todd, Chris (backstabbers who are still heroes to some of the audience) An anti-hero is someone who is well meaning but misunderstood so is thought to be bad when he/she really isn't (eg. James Dean's character in Rebel Without a Cause). - This is clearly Coach - Had the best intentions to play an honourable game and take the strongest to the end but still disliked by the audience.
