Michael was 32/142 for me. >_>;;
Jonathan was 115/142.

Also, to comment on Jonathan...YES he's got some definite issues and misogyny, but he just feels so different from every other challenge beast dude bro alpha male we've seen on the show, that I can't completely hate him. He's definitely not my least favorite from 42, either.

To agree with Andy, Sarah is absolutely the worst CBS character to fit in this time frame. It honestly takes a lot on these lists for the worst to NOT be a Big Brother character (if only because we see them for a MUCH longer period of time, and we witness them LIVE), but Sarah accomplished it. She's such a dour and unpleasant personality to start...but that's not inherently bad. Angela from BB20 is a boring bitch, yet she came back for the Challenge, and she was a star.

But Sarah is dour, unpleasant, and also arrogant in a very misguided way. She had all of these Survivor connections (and Survivor was the strongest collective group in the season), so she was super insulated all season. But she kept talking and acting like she was this massive badass, despite the fact that it took her, I think, until around the final eight women to actually finish in the top three for a daily challenge. But she was just boring up to that point. She got TERRIBLE after Tyson/Cashay threw her into elimination. This was partially as a shot at Ben (who was allegedly talking shit per Cayla/Derek, who were the easy targets that round), but also partially because Cashay wanted to eliminate Leo as a physical liability if she happened to get paired with him in a daily challenge. It's not a completely unreasonable choice, but Sarah spent the rest of the season as a literal helldemon after this.

It COULD have been amusing. Sarah's bizarrely aggressive showboating after beating Azah/Cinco (who, mind you, are NOT strong competitors when it comes to puzzle challenges) COULD have been fun. Instead, she continued to constantly perform mediocre in daily competitions (thus never holding power), while whining about how Tyson and Angela suck. And the other thing about this is that, as the season progressed, more and more people qualified for the final, while Sarah had yet to reach the $5,000 threshold necessary. So on top of her complaining about Tyson/Angela and their circle of friend, she had the added plot hook of "I need to make my money to get into the final".

Eventually, the show turned individual, meaning it no longer mattered who your partner was in terms of who you'd get saddled with in the arena. Sarah, being a roided beyotch, insisted that this would be her chance. She kept belittling Angela and saying Angela hadn't proved herself and all that good stuff. But the very first individual challenge, Angela wins outright, beating Sarah, so once again, Sarah did not get a win. But this is also the point where Enzo injured himself at some point, and he wound up in the elimination, guaranteed. Sarah, as we learned in WaW, is a feminist crusader who wants to prove how strong women are. So she went to Ben/Angela and begged them to throw her into the arena against a hobbled Enzo (who has consistently proven weak in challenge after challenge). Naturally, this was rejected because it wouldn't be allowed (and it would've been pointless since Sarah STILL wouldn't have enough money to qualify, after beating Enzo), but it just felt like a brazen attempt at garnering camera time from a person who lacks the charisma for it.

Then the NEXT challenge was just a comedy of errors as Angela/Alyssa worked together to fuck Sarah over in a strategy competition, and Sarah spent her time whining about it to anyone who would listen, begging them to help her out, and eventually losing because of Angela/Alyssa's efforts.

Honestly? The only problem here was that A&A targeted Sarah instead of one of her friends and forced Sarah to face off against a tougher opponent if she wanted to "get her money". But Sarah went into the arena against Cashay (who was, hands down, the weakest woman left in the cast), and won handily. Keep in mind, Sarah won two eliminations against absolutely pathetic opponents who had demonstrated little in the way of competitive ability up to that point.

The next round? Angela flatout WON a competition, beating EVERY other player and ending up as the only person to ACTUALLY complete it. Sarah? Got disqualified by falling off the truck. But that didn't matter because it was a male elimination day, so the women's performance didn't matter outside of determining which woman would be deciding on the person going into elimination against David. Buuuuuut Angela/Ben selected Enzo, and Sarah of course had to put her two cents in about how Ben was whipped and pathetic for caving to Angela's demands (even though I believe the rule would be if the partners couldn't decide, then Ben would've been forced into elimination unnecessarily).
