Son of a bitch. ;)

114. Jan - island sun (Debb's Hags)

Jan was pretty UTR in this game, but being as I didn't interact much with everyone or follow the boards very closely after my boot, I pretty much know as much about her character as anyone else. What made Jan stand out was how she was invisible for so long, and then randomly came out of the blue to dominate a speed challenge, causing everyone to think she was either a robot or a dirty cheater. She didn't actually do anything that amazing, but she performed pretty well, and she kicked everyone else's ass. Their frustration was hilarious. I think they wanted her out that round too? Anyway, I always wondered if I would have been able to beat her in that challenge. I can do speed competitions, but would I have been able to recall Australia's cast that effectively? Hard to say.

The other amusing contribution Jan made was her Final Words, which were randomly bitter and awesome. From someone who was UTR the whole game, it was funny to see her emerge out of nowhere with these standout moments.

Alas, I can't rank such a low-key character very high. So that leaves Jan right about here.

113. Candy Kong - NickF227 (Bowser's Castle)

In a lot of ways, Candy was pretty annoying to talk to. All of her messages were so ridiculously brief and it was very difficult to get much out of her. But that's what makes her retrospectively amusing. Somehow, I think she had a better uptight bitch schtick than anyone who has ever actually tried to pull off the gimmick has ever had. You can type "Omgosh <333 I hate ugly people" all you want, but it was Candy's overall "I'm too good for you" attitude that made her so valley girl cheerleader. And I was aligned with her and we bonded over bashing people, so that was fun. And she was randomly good at challenges. And Chunky wanted to quit just to save her. Not the most OTT character ever, but a nice one to look back on. Just, well, she was a pain in the ass to talk to, especially at the beginning of the game. I'm so glad I had Donkey there to relay the real strategic discussions to.

112. Nicole - ptcruisn56 (Pearl Islands Redux)

I didn't mind Nicole. But she started out the game being Ryno's follower, and that left her blindside at the very first vote. She scrambled to catch up after that, and I pretty much always kept her down. Orchestrating her fight with Tijuana was great, and I really did have plans to use her post-merge until Morgan hit their losing streak and Nicole was booted in the last pre-merge TC (robbing her of a chance to come back into the game via the Outcast twist). She was just always kept in the dark as to what was really going on in the tribe, and I played her so thoroughly (take that, Margaret), that I feel a little pity for her role in the game. I rank her this high to let her know that I never disliked her, she just got played.

111. Morgan - garblue (Tanzania)

Morgan was the leader of the Duma tribe, and that led to her elimination in the epic double-boot post-merge TC where the outcast alliance took control of the game and booted the power players. I didn't know Morgan that well, but she was clearly in charge of the tribe and I remember how she tried to pull me in and make me feel welcome when I ended up on Duma. Of course, I was quickly booted from that tribe and sent over to Milia again, but she was the one (besides Early, who really was disloyal to his tribe) there who did the most to try and win me over. She was certainly a good player who took her departure in stride. I think if anyone saw her in a game now, she'd measure up to the best of us. Maybe poody can track her down or something.

110. Mrs. Loomis - Unruly Discharge (Colosseum 6: Horror Edition)

You know, I always thought Mrs. Loomis was a kinda random choice for the horror bad guys of Colosseum 6. You had this group of the very worst villains in horror history, and then you had the crazy mom from the sequel to Scream. It was kinda laffos. Then again, I played Annie, so that wasn't that much better. We were so tame compared to the likes of Freddy Krueger or Jaws. lawl

Anyway, Mrs. Loomis was a mixture of UTR and hilarious. At times, she was randomly bitchy, but most of the time, she was just quiet. And it pisses me off that she made it so far in the game despite sucking at everything and having no idea who the Killer was. It's not like she had the social game or challenge skills to protect herself. She was nominated four times in a row at the end of the game, and she survived every quiz simply because her Killer pick kinda lined up with the real Killer, Patrick. But hey, at least she didn't win with that strategy, unlike some very undeserving winner of Colosseum 6. And 2^nd place was a pretty fitting finish for a goat.

So at the end of the day, I can look back on Mrs. Loomis somewhat almost fondly. I mean, she was annoying and obnoxious, and useless and under the radar. But she still stood out as a character, and she always had something WTF to say.

109. Spencer - Jeremy N (Tocantins)

At the beginning of the game, I thought Spencer was some noob who had no idea what he was doing. Actually, I half hoped it was the real Spencer, because if any past Survivor would play in an ORG, it'd be the 20 year-old super-fan from a recent season. Apparently, the guy is an accomplished player, but it still didn't stop him from being the first boot of his tribe. In the Loser Lodge, his real personality really began to shine, and I liked him. Nah, he wasn't anything incredible. But he was fairly enjoyable. And I gave him the HII clue in hopes of shaking up the game, which kinda worked. I mean, he didn't find the idol, but once I announced to his entire tribe that I had passed the clues to him, he proceeded to pass the clues themselves to his entire tribe, and that led to them coming right back to me soon after. I didn't find the idol because Carolina was a whore, but Spence did his best.

108. Svetlana - burton27 (Big Brother: Real World vs Road Rules)

Svetlana was super nice. But much like Darrah in PI Redux, she was someone I needed gone so other people couldn't drag her with them. Why is Svetlana ranked so much higher? Probably because unlike Darrah, Svetlana wasn't really aligned against me, she was just in the way. And while Darrah took a massive undertaking to remove from the game, Svetlana was very easy to get rid of, and in fact, I could have done it, like, three times over. Plus, when I booted Svetlana, it helped carry me into the win. So much different results there.

107. Rupert - foulmouthedleon (Pearl Islands Redux)

Rupert was pretty bland. He was one of the two Outcasts voted back into the game in PI Redux, both of whom returned to the game simply because of the oh-so-clever VFTW mentality in the Loser Lodge that everyone though would improve their own chances of coming back. Oops. But once Rupert returned, he tried to take control of the game, and it was ridiculous. He did very little, yet somehow thought he was calling the shots. It resulted in him becoming the first juror, quite predictably for everyone but him. Why is he ranked this high? Hard to say. I guess because he didn't really rub me the wrong way or anything. We got along. He just didn't play the game well. Which is weird, because you'd think hosts like him would know what they're doing. Maybe all hosts suck at playing, and vice versa. If so, I'd be a great host!

106. Brendan - spnintendo (Tocantins)

I know, I know. Everyone loved Brendan. He was great, he talked to everyone, he was funny and sweet, blah blah blah. I didn't really care for him. I mean, he was okay. But I hated how everyone in the Loser Lodge worshipped the ground he walked on. I didn't see anything special about him. Had he been treated like every other player in the game, I probably would have liked him. But the Brendan praise got old. Apparently he sent all the booted players game updates via PMs after they left. But not me. I think I got, like, 1 from him. Okay, so apparently he sent me one and I just never read it so he didn't bother sending me anymore. But whatever, why waste your time sending messages to the LL anyway? I certainly don't give a shit about Brendan's perspective on the game, not after I'm out of it.

I know this sounds bitter and mean, but again, for the record, I kinda liked Brendan. That's why he's this high. He was alright, and apparently he helped define the post-merge game. But god, I just got sick of hearing how wonderful he was. And I'm kinda sick of seeing spnintendo make it to the end of every damn game he plays, too.

105. Desmond - ts2 (Vertigo)

Desmond was pretty nice to me, so that's why I liked him. I also thought he was a naïve, inexperience player, which I was totally wrong about. I don't know if ts2 was trying to give that impression, or if she was just playing kinda like Erinn, who I also thought was pretty bad at the game. Either way, I was convinced Desmond was a really sweet, really useless player. As it turns out, he was a gamer, and he made it deep. I wish I had gotten to know him better, because then I could have started a better relationship with ts2 much earlier in my ORG career. Oh well. Desmond was nice. But I can't rank him too high when that's all he really had going for him.
