I'll update this eventually. My comp's been fucked up.

95. Parvati Shallow (Survivor: Micronesia - 1st Place)

I don't really blame Parvati for being chosen as an All-Star the way I blame Amber and Amanda. I thought she was a good player the first time around who just happened to be robbed, and thus deserved a second chance. Granted, she used that second chance to create the boring-ass couples' alliance, which killed off the potentially far better JAYE alliance, and she wasn't all that interesting of a person. Granted, she was more interesting than her allies (aside from Cirie, and two episodes of Natalie), especially because people basically let her waltz her way to the end because she was so good at forming relationships. She had alliances with almost everyone, and if she didn't, that person was voted out shortly after. Her win will always be kinda tainted for me though, because three injuries greatly helped her game to the point where she would've certainly been voted out had they not occurred. Still, she was a deserving winner, and anyone who prevents Amanda from winning Survivor is okay in my book.


94. Jessica "Flica" Smith (Survivor: Cook Islands - 13th Place)

I like alternative girls because they're just inherently more interesting than many of the casting choices Survivor makes. Jessica is the worst of the trio I would consider "alternative", but she still makes the top one hundred for being quirky and funny and an all-around interesting character. Early on, she was on the dominant Rarotonga tribe, where she pissed Jonathan off and became the easy boot choice when she lost the tribe's two chickens that had gotten Jonathan sent to Exile for stealing one of them. After that, she swapped to Aitutaki, where she had a good shot at putting together an amazing and fun-loving alliance with Ozzy, Sundra, Cecilia, and Cao Boi. Sadly, she stuck to her original ethnic-based tribe, and Cece went home. But she, Ozzy and Cao Boi were still close and they accidentally stumbled across the Rarotonga tribe's camp after having pissed them off at a reward challenge. Cao Boi was blindsided and Flica finally seemed to understand that she needed to play the game. But sadly, Ozzy was a stronger and more necessary competitor, so she got the boot. But still, Flica was an integral part of the fun on Aitutaki, so she ranks highly on my list.


93. James Clement (Survivor: Micronesia - 7th Place)

A lot of people preferred James in China because he actually got screentime, but that's exactly the reason I preferred him in Micronesia: because he wasn't shoved down our throat as a hero the second time around. Granted, he still got the hundred thousand dollars from America, but it certainly wasn't based on the edit he got in Micronesia. He was originally in the couples' alliance, but he's the highest ranking member because he didn't piss me off with his inclusion. It seemed like he was part of it just because, but he didn't necessarily believe everything it stood for. He just seemed much funnier and more laid back the second time around. I loved how he would randomly eat boiled bats, even when they were won by someone else at the auction. And I felt bad that he was medevaced for a small cut on his finger that got infected. That's gotta suck, but at least he gave us the epic tribal council arrival with a freaking intravenous tube in him. Also, he was at his comedic peak during the final 9 challenge, with his awesome "What the Nickelodeon is going on" quote and saying "That's gotta suck" in response to Alexis' failure, only to fail himself as he said it.


92. Susie Smith (Survivor: Gabon - 2nd Place)

Susie may have gotten a really crappy edit, but she's still amazing for a variety of reasons. One, she's a true Suckster, even though she comes from a Sucks sister site called Pgymy Island. She and Randy actually came from the same site, and he figured her out even even she didn't do the same to him. Second, she gave us one of the few funny moments on NuKota, which led to a meltdown by Corinne when Susie said she was considering voting for Corinne because Corinne was so weak. Third, she was responsible for one of the best blindsides of all time, when she teamed up with Ken and Crystal, targetting and then eliminating the chosen winner of the season, who was really quite boring, Marcus. The fact that it was Susie, the player from NuKota that no one could stand, that eliminated him, was amazing. And then, despite being a fat woman, she still managed to win the second-most individual immunity challenges of anyone in the season, behind only challenge whore Bob, and made it to the final 3 where she was within one vote of winning the game. For such a poor edit, Susie did so much and was a great part of Gabon.


91. Sandy Burgin (Survivor: Tocantins - 13th Place)

Sandy started off with such an amazing first episode, where she was voted out first from her tribe, just for being an old woman, and she basically got pissed at each and every one of them for voting her out, only to find that she wasn't out and would instead be flying by helicopter to the tribe's camp. She was given a clue to the idol and yet couldn't even understand what a pace was, even after taking two days to find an obviously planted stick poking out of the sand. Despite being a bizarre failure, Sandy dominated her section of the first challenge and gave her tribe the leader, which Spencer and Sydney promptly blew. Still, Sandy managed to survive the first tribal council by being less horrible of a competitor than Carolina, and she went under-the-radar for the next two episodes. In her boot episode, she gave good reasons why she should've stayed over useless Sydney, and I still think it was a dumb move of Stephen/Taj/JT to cut one of their numbers and risk a tie the next episode, rather than keeping Sandy in the game another round. But Sandy was an interesting, yet crazy person during her short time in the game.
