So after missing doing this last week, here's another round of how I rank everyone from favorite to least favorite. As Liz was still in the game when I did this last, she will be included here.
Rank Character
1 Alecia Holden (-0)
2 Caleb Reynolds (+4)
3 Anna Khait (-1)
4 Michele Fitzgerald (-0)
5 Julia Sokolowski (-2)
6 Tai Trang (+7)
7 Elisabeth Markham (-4)
8 Peter Baggenstos (+3)
9 Neal Gottlieb (-0)
10 Cydney Gillon (-5)
11 Aubry Bracco (-1)
12 Joe del Campo (+4)
13 Nick Maiorano (-1)
14 Debbie Wanner (+1)
15 Kyle Jason (+1)
16 Scot Pollard (-3)
Anna only went down a spot, not because of her, but because of Caleb. Tai's Idol find put him up drastically while Cydney is now towards the middle of the pack. Liz went down because she got blindsided, but she didn't go down too much because I still preferred her over Debbie.
The only reason some of the people on the bottom went up is because the filed is shrinking and has nothing to do with their merit. If we took that into consideration, I'd be adding Jenn and Darnell back into the equation and we'd be seeing the Bottom 5 in this ranking as 14-18 instead of 12-16.
The Top 2 in my rankings are now out of the game, so Anna's 3rd spot for now is temporary. Alecia and Caleb are, to me, the heroes even though neither lasted too long in this game.
Just caught up with last night's episode. Belated rankings that I missed last week will come later, but here are my thoughts for now.
That Reward Challenge was brutal. I feel bad for Caleb, but he went down a fighter. He was a true bro and will definitely be missed from this show. If you don't count the fact he went down to heat stroke, I'd say Survivor is the show where he belongs. God bless Caleb.
Oh, and dick move Jeff. "Good news: Debbie and Cydney remain in the game. Caleb is out." Nice way to reassure the Beauty Tribe, Jeff. *rolls eyes* At the very least, CBS has confirmed Caleb's full recovery, and I hope to see him again.
For the rest of the Beauty Tribe, I can't really say anything has changed with the tribe, but I WILL say after Caleb's evacuation, there should have been a swap right then and there.
With the Brain Tribe, when Peter said "I need a beer", I was able to relate to that. I feel like that some nights. Hell, I'd even have a beer with him. While I feel some sympathy for Debbie when she was talking about her daughters, I still haven't forgiven her hypocritical self-righteousness from the previous episode and is still my least favorite from the Brains Tribe. Joe goes up a little though for getting the medical for Debbie to keep her in the game.
As for the Brawn Tribe, while Cydney got some hate from this site, I'm gonna cut her some slack, mainly because she went down during the challenge and didn't have Alecia leave on bad terms with her. Jason and Scot, on the other hand, can go fuck themselves. Scot acts entitled and egotistical just because he played in the NBA and that "there's no comparison". That argument just sided me with Alecia that much more because she's right. It doesn't matter what sport you play, teamwork is what you need, especially in a game like Survivor. Hell, your profession can be weaving beads for all I care. It doesn't change shit. Seriously, whatever happened to Liz that last Tribal, I would GLADLY replace her with Scot! As for Jason, what a fucking hypocrite. How are your daughters going to be the way you want them to be if they are watching you acting like a complete douchebag on national TV? They're not. They're gonna be just as put down as Alecia was on the tribe. I really hope Scot and Jason watch the whole thing over and over and realize how much of meatheads they really were, even though that probably won't happen.
Now, on to Alecia. For the hand she was dealt, she never gave up. I like that in a Survivor contestant. She did what she could with the hand she was dealt, and the fact she got as far as she did even with the odds never in her favor says something: in a second chance season, Alecia could very well be the next Wentworth.
I'm beginning to like Tai more. He managed to get an Idol and he didn't piss me off. Sure, he needs to toughen up when it comes to getting the bare essentials, but I can see where he's coming from now. Caleb is a good guy as well, and overall, I like the Beauty Tribe if you subtract Nick.
The Brawn Tribe, minus Aleciagoddess of course, pisses me off. First, Scot's reasoning to Alecia was fake as fuck. Secondly, Cydney sells Alecia out when Alecia and Cydney go searching for the Idol together. Seriously, Alecia needs to steal that Idol from Jason and sell him out when the swap comes. Also, they didn't even let Alecia help with the last part of Immunity. If you're gonna put all targets on Alecia, at least give her a chance to prove herself one last time first.
So suffices to say that Alecia is a goddess in a tribe of douchebags.
For the Brain Tribe, I know people like Debbie, but she really comes off as a hypocrite. Saying the world doesn't revolve around Liz in her voting confessional when she acts high and mighty to vote Liz off. True, Pete and Liz should have covered their tracks more, but I really feel that Liz got robbed this time around. Oh, and Debbie cost her tribe the fucking Immunity. Debbie is officially on my "To-Want-Out List".
