I've gotta catch up on these now.

First up: Scott. Damn right he's the worst winner on your list (not mine, because second place Sarah still gets a title, but whatever). The thing about Tough As Nails is that it's almost entirely challenge driven, but unlike the ironically-named Challenge, there's usually no strategy involved in who gets eliminated and when; it's almost entirely on your own skill as a competitor. Because of this, if you have a player who is just so far out in front of everyone else, their very presence can make the season boring (see: Danny from TaN1). This was Scott: four individual wins, three second places, never in danger of elimination. Now, that makes for BORING television, but what made Scott especially annoying was what you described: he was very arrogant and bossy when it came to the team game, and on multiple occasions, his team lost (to a FAR weaker Dirty Hands team) because his bad strategy and leadership. But he never really owned up to his failings, and just went on to dominate the individual challenges. I guess I ultimately hold winners to a higher standard too, becuase they're the culmination of a season's story...so having the arrogant jerk who wins everything...WIN (and win the team portion as well)...just was a completely unsatisfying end to the season. 135/142
