The Ten Worst Survivor Players

This isn’t a nice post, I’ll admit. You should know by know that I have strong opinions and am not afraid to say it if you have been reading this blog of mine for a while. So you will already know who some of what I think the worst players of Survivor already are. But I will mention them and the reasons for why I feel that they are the worst.

I might forgo the rules and some of the honorable mentions in this post. I tried to limit it to one original player from a season. So there will be some people from the same season, but not if they first played on that season. Needless to say, these will mostly just focus on all the contestants that I don’t like for one reason or another. There are others that I could have gone with, but I think that these were the ones that I wanted to pick in the end. These will not include winners as they had to have done something right to win. That’s not to say that I can’t hate winners, but they won’t be in this post.

#10 J’Tia from Cagayan is someone I do not understand why people might have liked before the season started. She quickly turned into a terrible player who only briefly advanced by other players being dumb. The fact that she could have lasted longer than other, actually smart brain tribe members is sad. The two who went before her would have been glad to see her at loser lodge. That’s fun for them at least. I felt she was worthy of the list, but not anywhere higher as she didn’t make it that far.

#9 Judd from Guatemala might be a random choice, but I felt that he was worthy of this. For one, he is such a bad liar that he was easily caught. I can’t think of anything good he did in his whole time playing the game. He exit provided a nice line, but other than that, he had no real substance in the game.

#8 Denise from China is a dumb person and the fact that she was close to winning the fan favorite vote her season is kind of baffling to me. Not much about her stuck out to me from her season except for how bad of a player she was. It was mostly her treatment of Peih-Gee that I didn’t like. But she did one bad move after another that I’m surprised that she was voted out because I wouldn’t see anyone in the game voting for her to win it. Plus, her lie at the reunion show was pretty dumb too.

#7 Sherri from Caramoan probably isn’t as bad as she could have been and I know at least one person who would defend her game play. But she did practically nothing throughout the whole game except cement herself as a goat that people could beat at the end.

#6 Burton from Pearl Islands was dumb the first time and he actually got a second chance by getting voted back into the game. But he was still dumb the second time around and got voted out again. Some wonder why he hasn’t been brought back with others countering that he already got his second chance. But I have the feeling that it is more about just how terrible a player he is.

#5 Crystal from Gabon was such a terrible player, many were shocked to learn that she really did play in the Olympics and not at all surprised that she used steroids to do well in it. She sucked so much in one challenge after another that even Ryan from the most recent season would think that she was bad. I’ll admit that I didn’t want to limit myself to just one player from this season as a lot of bad players were on it, but I felt that when it came down to it, she was the worst one.

#4 Russell Hantz from Samoa, Heroes versus Villains, and Redemption Island had zero idea about the social game that tons of Survivor greats have had. He could never win Survivor unless he got a reality check. But I doubt he’ll get that and know he probably won’t get the million dollar check either even if he wound up playing in every season. He would always lose no matter how far he got and were it not for the absolute terribleness of the next three people, he would be number one on this list.

#3 Abi from Philippines and Cambodia is such a bad person, she was rejected by two different casts as a goat to be brought to the end that people could beat. These people just didn’t want someone like her to have made it farther than actually good players. I’ll still never understand how she got enough votes to get into the game over good players like Teresa.

#2 NaOnka from Nicaragua was one of the biggest failures in the game. Some may say that it isn’t dumb to quit the game. But that is the only way to ensure that you lose it. She could have made it to the end, although I doubt she would have won. But instead, she complained about how hard it was to survive outside with the elements like she never watched the show before. To make it as far as she did and still quit makes her a horrible player and I’ll never understand why some people want her back or think that she’ll ever be back.

#1 Brandon from South Pacific and Caramoan will always be the absolute worst player in my mind unless someone even more horrible manages to come along in the future. John Cochran gets all the crap that he did for his dumb move of flipping, but Brandon was the dumbest player that season. I mean, he lied so much and lied about lying. I don’t know how he ever made it as far as he did. But giving up immunity by far was the dumbest thing he did and why Erik gets crap for it while Brandon doesn’t is beyond my understanding. Maybe it’s because he couldn’t have actually won, unlike Erik. Yet some people still think that he could have. I’ll never understand why he was brought back but after a childish temper tantrum, he was voted out by a tribe who couldn’t stand him to the point of given up immunity before they even had a challenge.

That is all for this post. I don’t know whether or not I should have included some of the people who I thought about putting in this post, but decided against doing. Maybe Phillip Shepard should be on this list, but I think that he’ll wind up on other lists with bad players of a different sort. These posts should continue as normal for now until the new season starts. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
