What was a solid season...turned into a crap one thanks to a ridiculous finale. Again, the wrong person won thanks to a retarded jury. A great final twist occurred, but it didn't matter. Nothing mattered. The two most likable people in the cast didn't win, and instead a boring girl who did nothing the entire time won instead. Downright bullshit. I'm so sick and tired of the actual hard-workers not getting rewarded and instead people who do nothing reap the benefits. It's just disgusting. I'm far too demoralized to really think clearly on this, but yeah the season was good...but it was ruined by the ending. Had Aubry or Tai won (mostly Tai), it would've easily been a top 10 season for me. But now...probably in the bottom half of all the seasons, and that's being generous.
Here are my rankings for this season, on how I felt about all 19 players after the season ended:
19. Peter Baggenstos (12th Place): Unlikable douchebag that never stopped irritating me and being a jackass. The fact he was born in Montana, my home, makes me feel really ashamed. I couldn't stand him; anyone who finds him "funny" is retarded and needs their head examine.
18. Elisabeth "Liz" Markham (16th Place): Pretty much a female Peter clone, but she ranks one spot higher because she thankfully didn't last as long. Seriously, just because you THINK you're smart...doesn't make you smart. It makes you an arrogant, anti-social douche. Stupid bitch.
17. Nick Maiorano (10th Place): Outside the game, he seemed funny. In the game, he was basically a more cocky version of Peter, not to mention a more heartless one that I can't respect or find entertaining one bit.
16. Alecia Holden (14th Place): She was NOT a victim. She was NOT endearing. She was NOT a sweetheart. She was NOT funny. She was a whiny, annoying, useless, pathetic, moronic bitch. I couldn't stand her, and Scot and Jason had every right to tell her to shut the hell up. I would've gone mad with her, too.
15. Cydney Gillon (4th Place): Touching story about her mom, but it doesn't make up for 38 or however many days of her being a self-righteous, arrogant bitch. If just ONE person didn't want to do what she wanted, she got on her high horse and threw a hissy fit. I couldn't stand her. Thank God she didn't win.
14. Michele Fitzgerald (1st Place): One of the worst winners I've seen in a long time. So boring, so useless, such a floater, not really likable or charming. She was basically the "safe winner", meaning she's the dull type you vote for if you have "issues" with the more complex players next to you in the finale. She didn't deserve to win, regardless what the jury said, and she pretty much just got really lucky to be there. Really disappointing winner.
13. Anna Khait (13th Place): Basically the poker girl with big boobs. That's it. I really would've preferred her winning, or even little bitch Julia, but nope. Didn't get that lucky. She was nothing special, but she was at least more interesting than the bore-whore I ranked before her.
12. Julia Sokolowski (7th Place): I liked that she grew a backbone and did her best, but then she went against Tai, and then tried to kill Mark, and I wasn't having that. Plus the only thing "interesting" about her was her age. So, she really wasn't anything special whatsoever.
11. Kyle Jason (6th Place): After the ugliness with stupid Alecia passed, he really wasn't THAT bad. He was kinda on par with Russell Hantz, whom I love. Yes, the bullying stuff I don't support (even though a lot of it was justified), and he wasn't that likeable, but at least he helped make the season a bit more entertaining.
10. Darnell Hamilton (18th Place): Easily a really unfair first elimination. He really did nothing to warrant it other than losing the goggles in a challenge? He seemed to have a good heart and I felt bad for him. Really wish crazy Alecia had gone first; would've made a much better first elimination. He wasn't anything special, but I still liked him enough.
9. Neal Gottlieb (11th Place): While he proved to be kinda boring in the game itself, that was all a facade. I LOVED how he tore into stupid Michele when she "voted him out", and I really like the hidden fangs he had. Peter was right that he was a snake, but I wish we had seen more of that. Neal was decent for what he was.
8. Jennifer Lanzetti (17th Place): One of the oddest two episodes I've ever seen. She went from underdog hero with that ear bug thing nearly killing her, and then goes off the rails and basically votes herself off? Wow. I really loved the insanity she brought and how enjoyable she seemed as a whole. Sucked to see her leave like that.
7. Joseph "Joe" Del Campo (5th Place): Boring as he may be, he was a lot more than that. He was a good old man with a good heart and a great work ethic. He did his very best, and at his age, you really can't say anything bad about him without sounding like a dick. We all were impressed when Rudy did it, and I'm just as impressed seeing Joe done it. He was a nice guy.
6. Scot Pollard (8th Place): Say what you want, but Scot was awesome. He really is just a goofy, lovable guy with a big heart and a crazy personality. He's just so passionate about winning and gaming that he gets over-emotional sometimes; I do the same thing, so screw all of you who hate him. Scot had ever right to tell off Alecia. He had every right to douse that fire; it's as much as his camp as it is anyone else's. And he really played the game great. Best sports player to ever play Survivor, hands down. Even over Jeff Kent, who WAS my favorite before Scot came along. He loses points for being mean to Tai in the final tribal, though.
5. Caleb Reynolds (15th Place): Yet again, a guy WRONGLY HATED from Big Brother turns out to be amazing. He never deserved the hate he got from Big Brother. So he really loved a girl and was so passionate about it that he didn't know how to control it. WHO THE HELL CARES? GROW UP, YOU HATEFUL ASSHOLES! Caleb proved to be a really hard worker with a good, fun-loving heart, and he impressed me every second I saw of him. He got taken out in one of the most scariest ways I've ever seen, and I know for a fact we'll be seeing him again, and I hope to see more of the same. Caleb, you're awesome!
4. Aubry Bracco (2nd Place): One of my winner picks from the start (other than Debbie and Tai), Aubry really impressed me. Basically, she really was a female Cochran, and since I love Cochran, that's a good thing. She started off as a train-wreck, but then grew into a deadly threat with a LOT of bad luck thrown her way the whole time. Even though I wanted Tai to win, I was STUNNED that it wasn't Aubry instead. Seriously, what the hell did she have to DO to warrant more votes? I mean, she (and Tai) both DESTROYED Michele in the game! What was the jury WATCHING? Either way, I enjoyed Aubry. She and Tai were both robbed, that's for sure.
3. Debbie Wanner (9th Place): Ah, my preseason winner's pick. Damn, I honestly thought we were building up to a shocking Debbie victory...but, alas, the girls had to be morons and get rid of her for no reason. Debbie was just fantastic. She was so loony, yet also very intelligent with the game, and it was so fun to watch her operate! I honestly love her even more than I do Coach or any other loony players. Debbie was amazing. I really hope she, Tai, Aubry and Caleb all return in season 34.
2. Mark The Chicken (Perfect Place): One of the most shocking and amazing players of the season that I hadn't expected at all. Every time Mark was on screen, it always lifted my spirits and made me smile. It's very rare when a player can do that; that's a gift. He was so cute and funny, and his love for the hammock and sitting on Tai was adorable. I loved when he stole that grub from everyone else, and how he harassed them to get their lazy asses up in the morning or to get him more food. He was just amazing. He will always have a place in my heart as one of my favorite players ever, right up there with Mr. Coconut from Total Drama Island. Mark, you rule!
1. Tai Trang (3rd Place): FREAKING. ROBBED. First Woo loses to Tony...and now Tai to Michele. I mean, REALLY? You stupid pieces of shit vote for Natalie White over Russell Hantz on some of the dumbest logic ever, and yet you reward the asshole over Woo...and then reward the floater over the kindhearted guy who played the hardest game out of everyone (except maybe Aubry)? Utter bullshit of the highest order. Retarded, RETARDED jury. Tai himself...what can I say? Sia herself basically said it all when she and Tai stole the show in the reunion. Tai is just a joy. A gift of the world. We need more Tais in the world, that's for damn sure. Tai's love for animals, and nature, and other human beings, and his battle over good/evil and the game...wow. What a roller-coaster. Easily one of my favorite players EVER, in ANY reality show. I adored Tai, he was robbed, and I really hope to see him back. Tai/Mark best duo EVER!
