Board 8 > darkx ranks Winter '21-Summer '22 Survivor/TAR/BB/TAN contestants

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah, it's too low for those clowns. Sure, the edit didn't want us to root for them, because that would have been a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions given how they were technically first out twice, but I still find them to be affable guys who would've been rootable in a season in which they did better. I also find it amusing how they came back only to be eliminated first again. Would've had them probably 20 spots higher, even though I didn't watch the entirety of their season. (Cayla & Raquel are probably my #1 from that bunch)

Guessing someone polarizing like Shan or Drea is next, but I am not totally sure who. Lots of possibilities.

86. Ameerah Jones (Big Brother 24, 14th place) [9/16]
Ameerah started out the season as a very cerebral player (Chase, that means smart). She positioned herself well within a few overlapping alliances and seemed to be both a good enough strategic, social and physical player to do very well while also not being so good that she was an in-your-face threat, making her a solid winners pick. Unfortunately her game came unraveled when the women decided to target Taylor, and while Ameerah herself did not actively participate in the bullying of Taylor she also didnt stand up for her. Then when Turner did identify her as a threat and put her on the block to protect Taylor, who was now in her alliance, Ameerah turned to Taylor for assistance and found none in return. And then Ameerah said that, as a fellow black woman, Taylor should have had her back, because that totally worked the other way around when Taylor was being targeted and bullied, right? Even still, Ameerah thought that she was safe on the block against Terrance. Oops.

85. Voted against Rocksroy at the split tribal

I'll be pretty disappointed if this isn't Hai.

85. Hai Giang (Survivor 42, 8th place)
Hai overplayed his hand to an annoying degree. This was evident from the very first challenge where he decorated himself in blood that was absolutely unnecessary (though I partially blame the producers here why was fake blood even necessary for that fake-out?) to get an advantage. Then later in the game he tried to create an alliance with all the people who had advantages literally calling it the Advantage Alliance. Like, how was that going to benefit him? He clearly just wanted to be part of something powerful and didnt care that it was not in his best interest at all. For someone who thought he knew the game so well he was actually very terrible at it and it was cringeworthy to watch. Just to add to all of that he was an extremely stubborn player, and yet when he arranged the hit on Rocksroy, what was his pitch to everyone? Rocksroy is too stubborn to work with. And Im not saying that Rocksroy wasnt stubborn as well but the hypocrisy was rampant here. Other than that, Hai wasnt a mean person or anything. He could occasionally be funny and I thought his eating meat in the game despite being vegetarian because he felt it was necessary to sustain himself in that environment seemed genuine and didnt feel forced like other sob stories have been these last few seasons. Despite how annoying he was as a player, I cant really bring myself to dislike the guy.

84. Came in 6th place

Could be Omar for similar reasons to Hai. Could be... was it Chaddah who finished 6th or Tiffany? Definitely isn't Danny (that would be criminal). Could be someone with whom I'm less familiar, or just forgetting about.

These recent seasons are dumbed down to a point that they're unmemorable, probably to cater to the casual Ozzy worshiping stangirls.

Tiffany came in 6th in BB23.

The blood thing was worth it just for Lydia's reaction to it.

I'm guessing a Tough as Nails person for this next one. Either that or CBB if they haven't shown up yet.

84. Tak Tanabe (Tough as Nails 3, 6th place) [12/12]
So Tak is up next on the list because was this dude even on the show? No seriously, in a cast that I feel an abnormal amount of apathy towards, Tak is easily the least-memorable and thats saying so, so much. As of this write-up were almost exactly one year removed from TAN3, and I already cant remember a single thing about this guy. Other than the fact that he was from Hawaii which made him bond with Jerome a bit otherwise even as this was airing, every time he popped up for a confessional I was like, Oh yeah, this guy exists. Heck, when I went to go get his picture, he looked totally different than I remembered. He seemed plenty nice but was also extremely boring and forgettable. In a cast without anybody that was particularly offensive, the most boring, least memorable person ends up at the bottom, and with that, every season represented on this list has lost at least one person and the impending Tough as Nails 3 slaughter has begun.

83. Lamar Hanger (Tough as Nails 3, 11th place) [11/12]
In a cast without anybody that was particularly offensive Okay, I initially had Hanger two spots higher than this on the overall list but I had to segue into his write-up with that line from Taks and so I figured that bumping him down under two people that I felt were mostly even with him was arbitrary enough. I guess actually for the first three episodes of the season Hanger was kind of an unreasonable, stubborn curmudgeon so maybe he was a little offensive at the very beginning but after he was eliminated from the individual competition he became more pleasant and thus we didnt have to deal with that for the whole season (which undoubtedly would have put him much lower on the overall list). I remember him having kind of a nice father-daughter relationship with Kelsy but since both were out of the individual game fairly early there wasnt much development on that as the edit focused on making big characters out of the final five or so. There was also a scene of him doing the robot at the dance club challenge, which showed that he at least knew how to have some fun. Other than that he was a minor character for the season but at least he left SOME impression on me which is more than I can say for Tak.

82. Was either eliminated in the first episode of their season OR officially came in last place, but not both.

Since we've hit the apathy part of the list, I'm going to guess Taylor & Isaiah.

Key word here is "officially". Taylor & Isaiah's placement is unofficial.

82. Sara Wilson (Survivor 41, 17th place) [16/18]
Its generally a sign of a very solid cast when my three least-favorite members are the first three boots. In Saras case, there really just wasnt much to her in her one and only episode. Of all the sob stories cast on 41-43, hers was one of the least-sobby, and despite fitting in with her tribe socially she was booted first from her tribe for the oh so bland and boring reason of making the mistake that cost them the immunity challenge. There was something somewhat rootable in her desperation to stay in the game but I dunno. While I guess I wanted to see her stay, it was better to lose her than the alternative that night in JD, and in a group this dynamic and exciting, I really, really didnt care that she was gone after the premiere.

81. A person that, in the premiere, I expected to be an early boot but ended up making it to at least jury

Sara certainly is nice to look at. I will give her that. Sucked to see her go first from Ua, though that tribe was a train wreck so...

Guessing someone from Big Brother next, no idea who...
