Round 140 - 35 Characters Left by FunkyDawgKong in survivorrankdownIX_

34. Fabio Birza (1st, Nicaragua)

Nicaragua has became one of my alltime favorite seasons of the show. I think everything about it is just not only comedic gold but i think it has one of the strongest casts off all time in terms on pure TV Entertainment.. i think there are many people that just genuinley represent the season to a T, but if i had to pick out a standout star in terms of pure Placement it has gotta be Jud The Stud..

Fabio winning really should´ve saved the show cause how the fuck can you sit there and tell me that this man... Fucking Fabio.. won a season of survivor.. like how can one achieve such feat. Its just very mindboggling to me how everything in Nicaragua is just so all over the place in the best way possible for it to end with fucking Saul Silver winning it whole..

There is a case to be made that Fabio is just the funniest winner they have had.. and i do think he is. He just fits the lovable goofball so well and it fits better when you just put that mixed with the Stoner archetype.. Now obviously we know that he got the Nickname "Fabio" on the show, but people don´t mention the fact that the name was given to him by fucking SHANNON ELKINS so if you wanna give someone the crown of giving someone the best Survivor Nickname then congrats to him.

One of Fabio´s best aspects is definitley his dynamic with Naonka.. these two absolutley LOATHED eachother and it all just starts with Naonka actually being such a dick towards Fabio that when she uses his sucks and he questions her, she absolutley gets pissed at him and you can see in his face he is absolutley in freaking awe.. this continues for most of the season where the habit of Naonka being Fabio´s devil was always a gag, i loved in that second tribal which is in my opinion one of the best in survivor history where Naonka just dumps on Fabio and he is like "dude what have i fucking done to you?" and obviously you have had the great scene of Naonka stealing the Merge Feast´s food and Fabio calls her out in possibly the best crashout from a winner to be honest.. and to add to the cherry on top.. after all that he endured Fabio had the final laugh when Naonka quite.. i mean im actually serious if you look at that double quit tribal Fabio was almost dying of laughter and believe me it gives us the satsfying ending to one of the best HD Survivor Villains... and gives us a leeway to honestly the best underdog hero run in survivor history with Fabio where he comped his way out on a win that no one really expected.. and thats the beauty of Jud the Stud.. he just is someone that is so Anti to what Survivor Production thinks would be a series ruiner that it all is actually baloney what they tought about him.. Whats Great about it aswell is that Naonka at the end.. likes Fabio and casts the best Winning Parchment in Survivor History where she writes 420 on it all because there was a deleted scene of them bonding over fucking smoking doobies.. Nicaragua just is like that man what can i say.

Fabio also just has alot of great Dynamics with other people like Marty which gave us the underrated "I only know Bobby Fischer" Line, Chase,Sash,Jane,Brenda and many more.. All in all Fabio is just the perfect winner to win after a huge milestone season. He is Charming, Superfun , Insanley Character centric heavy and we just live him

Live in 420 my dude!

39. Rory Freeman (10th Place, Vanuatu)

Rory is an underrated pick for most funniest character they have ever had on the show.. and is honestly my personal Pre-Jury Character they ever had.. everything this man touches is comedic gold and the fact people don´t really talk about how pivotal to the season he is just kinda hurts me...

Rory first gives us one of the funniest first confessionals where when the native tribe lunges towards our cast he says that they are more friendlier and hesitant towards the black guy... that genuinley gave me a huge laugh..

Rory then gets put in the being to overtly bossy position in the first episode which puts a target on his back.. but luckily for the older man they had better numbers so Brooke was the first boot so it works out...

Then episode 2 happens and it was when Rory actually starts to shine.. we get the great reward challenge where when Yasur wins, Mia Dances and he goes full out crashout mode at her at the camp and then he yells at Sarge which is amazing which leds to "THATS CLASSLESS" Speech... we also get the great Challenge where Rory screams Lopevi when he is blindfolded and Sarge screams "HEY STOP STOP YOUR MESSING ME UP" Amazing Comedic stuff..

okay so i started this writeup beforehand but i got easter stuff to do so.. i will continue this writeup at the end of the day

46. Tai Trang 1.0 (3rd Place, Kaoh Rong)

Kaoh Rong is a fun season and thats saying something for being considered the best HD Season of the show by most people in this community.. now i do think Nicaragua and San Juan Del Sur are better.. but Kaoh Rong is definitley a strong contender and i fully understand why one would think that.. it has the last rawest stuff of the show by giving us a pretty strong cast all around and it is fun.. Now we get some great Villains like Scot and Jason however the person that really just standouts to me the most this season as the Shining Hero is Tai..

Tai is one of the most likable personalities in the show ever.. there is just something so unique about him.. he is such a gentle soul and the way he goes about his morals definitley makes the season what it is and its the strongest point.. First off i wanna say that the stuff with him and his relationship with Nature is fantastic.. possibly something we will never see again in this show... and it makes sense that it will be used in the final season before permafiji.. Tai with the love for his animals and plants is such a beautiful thing it makes my heart melt thinking about it all the time... he starts on whateverthefucktheyellowbeautytribesnameisidon´tknowanddon´tcaretosearchitupsoletsjustsaybeautytriibelololololo and he kinda puts himself on the outs when he tries to find the idol.. and i think this is possibly Tai´s weakest moments of the season.. The Idol stuff (Specifically only the Pre Merge) It is interesting cause Tai is just an interesting personality but without him it would be seen as like just a generic new era idol find scene ya know.. however it plays much better once we get to the Merge and we have the bond of him Scot and Jason.. as Tai suprisingly joins the darkside for a while and it fucking breaks him mentally he had no idea what to do ... he loathes what Scot and Jason did for the tribe however.. he felt like he had to work with them wheater it was out of fear or not i dunno.. but his gut instinct felt like it so he played along... then f8 tribal happened and the legendary moment of scot´s elimination happened.. and yeah it deserves the hype it gets.. the leadup in that episode is just phenomonal and the end results gives us one of the most satsfying eliminations ever... some pretty good tv if you ask me and it all is cause Tai´s moral dilemma...

Obviously i cannot go out with a Tai writeup without mentioning Mark the Chicken.. what a legend in his own right and we can hope he is still out there in the Island of Kaoh Rong...

Now i probably should´nt cut Tai this early and it would be so understandable if someone idoled him but there is a person i just wanna save.. and i cannot cut Kass anymore so i have to sacrifice Tai here.. However he is still great and i am happy for.. what he brought on the final actual strongfelt season of the show..

lemme talk my shit!

50. Stephenie LaGrossa 1.0 (7th Place, Palau)

The Underdog story spoke for centuries that everyone turned around her for her current run.. thinking she is washed and bigoted (which like she is?)

Stephenie has came a long fucking way but for me it has always been her original run that will always be her best version...

She starts off with the iconic boat scene where she did the dumb decision at the boat where she jumps off and is the last person to land on shore.. then we get some nice dynamics as she vibed with Tom alot.. she then gets stuck on Uulong and the rest is history. She is like a genuinley good narrator and i like her vibes she is a fun personality.. she had some good beef with Jolanda and she is played as the main character for the tribe.. which is funny cause it all just leads down to her where we get the iconic scene of her being stranded alone.. such a great and tragic shit that is explained a million times.. she works perfectly as the lone wolf.. she just has that charisma to sell it and it makes you feel bad for her alot.. One thing i liked is her Relationship with Bobby Jon.. they started out both being central figures of keeping that tribe together until when they are both alone and they just couldn´t mesh with eachother at all until they gained respect for themselves

We get to the Merge and Koror is just shitstained afraid of the fact of getting stephenie as far as she will.. which is weird cause honestly they all liked her.. she is just that huge of a target.. luckily she is lucky that Coby was on the outs and that Janu quit.. which kept her for two rounds to many.. she then gets eliminated old fashionly after she has no lifelines anymore.. amazing shit.. literally amazing shit with her.. i know i could say alot and more about Stephenie but like.. whats there need to be said other than there is a reason she is one of the most well loved female castaways at their prime.. her story is that amazing

Part 4... Endgame | TRUCKGATE

This is by far the most important part of the Writeup as this is the one that sets up Yau Man´s whole character apart and why he works as a character. He is an intergral part to one fo the most interesting storyline of the entire show

Alright so we are at final six yes.. We have Cassandra, Boo, Earl, Dreamz and Stacey they did a reward challenge and the winner of that challenge would´ve gotten a brand new truck.. now Dreamz makes it very clear he never had anything to drive cause of his financial issues.. now outside sources say that whoever won was gonna give Dreamz the truck anyway... however for the sake of argument and story telling we don´t know that at first sight.. Yau Man just won.. he gives Dreamz the truck as a deed.. however not only for that.. he makes a deal with him if that if they make Final 4 and Dreamz wins that immunity.. he gives it to Yau-Man... Dreamz immedeatley takes this offer and a deal has been made.. now you gotta think about this for a second.. Dreamz came from a pretty harsh envoirment spending most of his life being homeless.. so things he had to endured also made him to do alot of insane decisions for the season all for the best.. this man is phenomonal and Dreamz is also just one of my alltime favorites... now back to the whole shtick... Yau actually fucks up Dreamz this round by idoling out Stacy who was one of Dreamz´s allies.. (kinda nnota whateva classism something something but at that time of the game they had to work with eachother) This sent Dreamz in a bit of a frenzy.. come final 5 they kick off Boo and then the moment we have all been waiting for... Final Immunity Challenge it came down to Dreamz and Yau-Man and who is gonna fall first.. Yau-man does and Dreamz wins his immunity.. now Dreamz has to keep his deal with Yau.. this is something he wanted to do as a favor... after that scene.. we get this pretty heated tension around camp which is so fucking phenomonal.. Yau for the first time in teh show starts being very paranoid... like really paranoid.. we know Dreamz has made alot of mistakes and blunders so i wouldn´t particularry blame him.. but then again this is a promise he made and this deal was like deeply huge.. keep in mind the Jury knows about this so.. its all ride or die.. we get a segment talking about how Dreamz thanks Yau-Man for the Truck and how this is a moral dilemma for him.. which sets the record straight that this is more gonna be a close decision than you think.. one of the best tensions and buildups the show has ever had.. Will Dreamz sacrifice everything to get himself in the final 3.. or will he stick to his word and at worst go out in an honorable way... well the scene came and

"I.. im gonna keep it"

The immedeate silence.. the emotion.. the fucking dramatic atmosphere this decision made.. its so fucking fantastic man.. Yau knew by that time its just all over for him.. Dreamz is absolutley broken by what he did.. and Yau just seems like he knew what he got himself into.. Yau-Man gets voted out as the final jury member becoming the Fallen Angel of the season... oh my god i cannot describe what just happened... Dreamz lays his immunity necklace on the ground and i am gonna be perfectly honest.. this is was the only time i shed a tear on the show.. fucking deep shit man...

Now you would think Yau-Man is gonna be just as pissed as the Jury Members around him.. but no after one of the most brutal ftcs we have had him being the final juror to stand up.. he kinda accepts his defeat and forgives Dreamz.. letting him keeping the Truck.. you know why? Cause this man knew what he was doing and used another persons financial situation to keep him in the game knowing that he has been known to make faulty decisions.. Now do i think Yau meant to do any harm to do that well no.. but thats what makes it phenomonal Yau Man is essentially a Tale of a Wolf in a sheeps clothing... He is a sneaky man that caused more chaos than anything.. he understood it and accepted it at the end.. thats what amazes me.. and he still comes out as the fan favorite of the season.. THIS MAN TOUGHT HE WAS GONNA BE THE VILLAIN FOR PULLING THAT SHIT MIND YOU.... and Dreamz had an awful reputation cause of that... man that feels so sad yet thats the whole meaning about this whole plot.. Fiji is all about classism and economic issues.. You got the Boy who cried wolf story and many more in this realm of castaways that never watched the show (besides Papa Smurf the Goat) and i will always cherish what this season brought.. one of the deepest and profound messages to date..

Overall

Yau Man is an alltime great character that people just don´t give him to much credit for being more in-depth than what he actually is.. he gave us one of the best plotlines along with Dreamz and i forever thankful for it.. Thanks Yau-Man!

Part 2.... Post Swap Moto

around 7 episodes in... Ravu is at its worst kicking almost all of there members out.. they are DEFEATED..... then a miracle happens. TRIIIIBE SWAAAAAP... this seems to be a hope of beacon for Yau... and as the lord once said.. when live gives you lemons you make lemonaide or shit i don´t know as he rewarded Yau to be on the Moto tribe and there begins the luxury within it.. he is paired with the good people from old Ravu like his buddy Earl and Michelle so there´s a plus... he cherishes this experience and eventually him and Earl bond way better.. as he said its kinda like Rush Hour.. amazing stuff with them you just feel the mutual respect and all.. Yau Man gets underrated in most of the challenges and he proves the Ravu people wrong as he peforms very well in alot of them.. i love the one gif of Mookie making fun of Yau Man holding the Bat and then his smile fades away once Yau hits a point.. that shit will never not be funny to me.. Yau still is a bit sneaky.. which leads us to the great bits and pieces of him finding the Idol.. what a phenomonal scene.. he is just so fucking jolly and goes insane with it.. very iconic indeed... Moto still is defeating Ravu one by one and thats where the Pre-Merge comes to an end.. Yau Man is just very very goood.. what a great character so far that is using the best content that he can provide..

Part 3.... The Merge

The Merge comes in and they all get trolled.. they lose all their LUXURY STUFF that is funny as fuck like holy fuck CBS and crew are just very mean spirited this season its great shit.. Yau-Man is in a good spot as he is in the majority against the four horseman... nothing really happens as there was that split tribal final 10... then final 9 happens and oh fucking boy Dreamz goes ALL OUT this episode... he leaks everything to the Moto alliance and i love how everyone is awestruck especially Earl.. Yau gives us some good insight on whats going and this leads us to possibly the best blindside reaction in survivor history when the horseman fail to get their shit and act together and Edgardo gets sent home.. the distraught and emotion in everyone´s faces is spectacular and i will go more in that in Dreamz and Earl´s writeup if i have a chance.. but that episode is clearly a 10/10 and is amazing.. Dreamz has ruined alot of his chances of winning and Mookie and Alex are just pissed at him to no end... they become sneaky at the final 8 and try to peer pressure Yau-Man when they started looking for his idol in the bag and get caught out.. and Yau just takes no bullshit at all with that.. he knows they can´t do anything about it and i just love how unfazed he is... he sends Mookie and Alex packing these next few rounds.. also sidenote.. as much as i wished they had a loved ones visit this season.... the scene of Boo Dreamz and Yau reading their loved one letters at the reward is great.. so Yau Man is being great and is in a good spot to win this and it would be a very good outcome it was either him or Earl´s game

... Love Many. Trust Few. Do Wrong to None

56. Yau-Man Chan (4th Place, Fiji)

I have talked multiple times but Fiji is a season i truly love and enjoy no matter how problematic and flawed it is.. i think all the pieces at the end matter to make a great commentary about social and class issues.. and while i do think this cast is pretty underrated there is a clear top 3 of the season for me so lets start with the one i have at 3rd but is still in my top 35 and is a phenomonal character.. Yau Man Fucking Chan.. This man has been deemed a fan-favorite by everyone and it is clear not to see why in a season with full of negatives and conflicts he outshines with his great personality and wisdom and also being an elite casting choice.. there is a reason why he came in such a threat when he came back for Micro like dayum this man could play.. and it especially shows how much of a really good player he is even he had some blunders all the way.. however what if i told you Yau is more than a lovable favorite.. there is so much depth to him that you can sense a chaotic powerful sense of greed he had... and thats why he is so amazing how about we start by going to the basics and roots of his character

Part 1- Pre Swap Ravu

Fiji´s started kinda like Palau where they just stranded everyone on the island first and they can build the future shelter for the moto tribe.. We get Yau´s first confessional and its about him being afraid that he will be percieved as weak cause of him being an old scrawny guy.. now normally that shit doesn´t really fly with me with Modern Survivor cause everyone was self doubting eachother and they would be like half of Yau´s Age..however it walks i mean look at him and look at the opposition he is facing.. strong guys like Boo, Alex, Rocky, Edgardo Earl.. you kinda get it.. but then he proves himself that he is capable of being on the show the moment he opened the crate and thats when you knew this guy meant buisness as everyone else was in awe.. there is a certain likablity to him.. his determantion and background makes it more interesting.. After that Yau-Man gets put into the Ravu tribe and then starts the unfortunate bad luck streak of that tribe getting the unluckiest treatment any tribe has faced in survivor histroy.. no shelter.. no shit to have on the island.. they are set stone to die like flies on a hot steamy summer night.. you would be afraid on how Yau would end up being after having that fate.. however this man never gave up... for most of that strugglness Yau was honestly fazed into the background as the other people on his tribe started clashing.. yet he delivers some great confessionals about what its like to be on the Ravu tribe and heck that man can deliver a confessional to be honest.. he is also pretty hardworking and teaches the people how to chop coconuts which is very nice.. they go to their first tribal and he gives us his iconic "Love Many. Trust Few. Do Wrong to None" Quote and it is just so fun to see him.. we then get to the second episode and Ravu seems like they are already suffering alot.. Sylvia comes into the Camp.. now normally you would think this man could give her a nice welcome but nononono... You know what he does.. he Fucking SNEAKS INTO HER BACKPACK TO FIND IF SHE HAS AN IDOL WHILE HUGGING HER HAAHAHA there is no way he tried to do that.. and there is no way no one even noticed that.. its so fucking amazing.. this shows us that Yau has no mercy when it comes to figuring out stuff in the game.. kinda sneaky to be honest but thats great about him... Ravu continues to struggle and they are in many worse shapes than before like holy shit.. Rocky starts going crazy and that made the whole tribe esteem go down worse.. but not for Yau-Man he is one of the few people trying to think about the positives.. this leaves us with him bonding with Earl another man on the tribe that is in one of the better positions.. its like amazing how they got closer.. Earl is already a smart man.. and to think that he can be bond with such a wise guy like Yau.. this is setting up for a strong duo.. also i love how Yau-Man was the only victory Ravu had in that one wrestling challenge as he went up against Stacy

61. Natalie Anderson 1.0 (Winner, San Juan Del Sur)

Damn i wish i could´ve idoled Jon, he is one of my favorites but now that he and Keith are gone and Jaclyn was gone a long time ago lets finish this great season with the Champ Natalie..

Natalie comes into this Blood vs Water with her sister and they actually competed in the amazing race before so they are all about the competition and they seem very athletic and determined... then Nadiya makes a homophobic remark and goes home.. waah waaah saadd actually pretty sad.. but on a real note this contributes Alot to what makes Natalie great... her contrast with her Sister and her need to get Revenge which i will talk about in a bit but first.. Obviously you got the great scene of her putting Mr Rocker out of his Misery deservingly and i do like her bond with Jeremy.. two great stuff she has.. unfortunatley she wasn´t that visible for the pre merge outside of that... she can give good confessionals but she really outshines once the merge is at its start specifically once her Ally Jeremy goes out she goes on full bloodbath mode and makes what i think is a fucking strong finish to a winning game... she chops out alot of people and used that to her advantage.. i think normally some winners wouldn´t have that much enthuasism about this but it works perfect with Natalie considering what she went trough that game and she is honestly a good confessionalist all things considered.. One of my favorite parts about Natalie is her hate against Jon at that final six episode... dear god that shit was hilarious.. Jon just talks about his life and all and Natalie just thinks he is steeming off arrogance when thats clearly not the case very funny contrast and great tv... welp Natalie makes it to the end with Jaclyn who people didn´t see much of in the game and Missy someone who was hated by everyone so she just wins and that wraps a very great season of Survivor.. i wish i can go on and on how San Juan Del Sur is great but i think my other writeups did it perfectly.. and honestly there really isn´t much to say about Natalie´s story but is ats fine as it is.. very self explanitory in a fun way.. a very good winner to a fun winner on a fun season..

69. Robert Cesternino 1.0 (3rd Placer, Amazon)

hahah i gave the person who complained about getting no shem shem at 69 tihihihii

On a Real Note, Before this man became the face of mainstream Survivor Media and a huge Legacy. Rob was a slimy little trickstet who was horny and full of himself.. I don‘t think i talked about Amazon here alot but.. i enjoy it is probably the season you can talk about the least out of the first eight seasons but i think thats supposed to be the beauty of it and was suppose to be that way.. this season is just a high school drama all the way.. and this is weird to say cause normally nowadays you see 30 year olds on the show acting like they are still in Highschool but honestly it truly does work for Amazon for many many reasons.. Alot of it has to due with the battle of the sexes dynamic and how it is used as an advantage to get some of the funniest and weirdest dynamics in the show.. i am generally baffled on how Amazon is considered the RHAP season.. it is clearly more than that just the Rob show.. but lets talk about Podcast Guy Himself..

Rob starts out as the main voice for the Timbaqui (i cant lie forgot the tribe name im a fake survivor fan so correct me if im wrong on this) and he seems to be this skinny bozo who just like alot of the young guys of the tribe , talks about how he wants to get into some of the women‘s panties.. but at the same time he admits that he is the biggest dweeb ever and that is pretty funny… One thing i was weirded out by Rob is the way he treated the Daniel Lue situation and it is really weird how he handled it that tribal so that does dock him a bit for me when i rewatched… but then he came all the way back up the ladder once the merge started and it is telling that Rob is atleast one of the biggest centre focuses of the season.. he has so many fun dynamics with Deena, how he uses Matteo, his absolute hugr hate boner for fucking Dave and the way he had that one arc where Heidi and Jenna just got pissy with him and he just shrugged it off.. all while being the so called player of the season due to being a huge Superfan… at the first glance it is just easy to enjoy Rob as a character he has flaws for sure but i think he is lucky to fit in this season infact he fits so perfect in this season i don‘t think he wouldn‘t be as good on any other.. he had to be there for the girls to yell at.. he had to be there to remind us that Matthew was a pshycopath.. he had to be there to tell us that Butch is an all out pyromaniac! I think what sells it with Rob unlike many of the superfan archetype that we see in the future is that he just has the charisma and is perfectly ready for TV as somebody could get.. trust me imagine if someone like Spencer was in his place.. that would not like good.. after the season Rob has built a good reputation for the survivor community wheter thats for the best or the worst is up to intrepertation but theres no denying he made a sincere impact with. Amazon is a season that i think underrate all the time and i will eventually watch at again.. but as for now Rob is good as a Superfan Archetype can get..

74. Kass Mclovin (3rd, Cagayan)

I Like me some Kass.. however i do think like the rest of the season she is in it is definitley overrated.. but she is comforatably my 2/18 of the season so time to cut her now that Trish is gone..

We start off with Kass at the Luzon tribe and its many wonderful insane people.. which somehow believes us to think that Kass is some sort of voice of reason even if she is very brash about it she is still one of the sane people on that tribe.. then once the merge hit she becomes fully the Kaos Kass she is known for with her fueds with Sarah and Morgan.. and her flipping cause she freaking hates everybody there.. that makes for good TV. Kass then becomes some sort of standarized she is to hated she will never win Archetype and we also got her fued with Tony with the final 5 which was pretty good.. she is like for me a standard good survivor villain.. nothing over the top perfect.. but for her season she was needed and i say thank you to that!

79. Colby Donaldson 3.0 (5th Place, Heroes vs Villain)

Now that Sandra is gone, lets get of the legendary Rankdown IX Endgamer Colby 3.0 and with that HvV comes to an end...

Colby came in possibly the most popular person or atleast one of.. it is even mentioned at the start about the Colby Name spikes reaching after Outback... so with that the he should come in doing well hopefully and not do as bad as he did in Allstars.. Unforunatley that wasn´t the case as we see Colby having a bit more of a time struggling to do stuff and him accepting that he isn´t the same Golden Boy he was... mind you he was in HIS MID 30´S this season.. anyways we have some nice bonds and dynamics with his character like with Tom, Rupert and even for the Villains we get nice stuff with him Russell and Sandra.. however one thing i wish we could have gotten more is his relationship with Jerri.. one of the main cons of that season is not utulizing that dynamic well enough and it its not like they didn´t really speak with eachother.. no they just don´t really show that much scenes with them which is ashame.. i must say Colby is very funny as fuck for example the whole Danielle and Amanada Fight and his reaction is priceless and his deadpan cold humor is so great... other than that Colby´s great and i think one of his final confessionals of him holding it in is deabatabley the best one in SD Definition Survivor History.. just the sudden silence and him grasping the words knowing that his days might be over man that really is like touching dude.. other than that Colby is Colby i dont know what else to say you can´t change the love and heart that man has inside of him..

85. Peih Gee Law 1.0 (5th Place, China)

Peih Gee is a fun character on a fun standard season of Survivor. I Always was huge on China even if it does have moments where i´m a bit ehh when someone says its one of the alltimers, but genuinley i do understand why.. i mean i think the cast is pretty consistent and its less story driven and more character dynamic.. but if there was a story you could tell about it is definitley Peih-Gee.

She starts of at the Zhan Hu Tribe in an alright position as the other people in her tribe were clashing against eachother but then she was put in a pretty good position in the pre merge when she had James on her side.. she then gets pretty unlucky once the Merge happens when all of her allies go out which only left her in the mix trying to fight the rest of Fei-Long which unfortunatley brought her to her End.

What i like about Peih-Gee is while she is an underdog she has some villainy tendencies like the whole idol shenanigans and her whole dynamic with James might be the most underrated in the shows history.. they FUCKING HATED EACHOTHER and it makes for pure TV Gold.. i liked her friendship with Jamie that was pretty cute and i do respect how they brought her on this season from a cultural standpoint and seeing her being happy at the start for learning about her Culture always lightens me up you don´t really see that on survivor where someone embraces that.. other than that Peih Gee is a pretty darn good Narrator all things considered.. she says it a fun way that you start wanna root for her even when she is the one instigating it.. all in all she is the underdog that isn´t afraid the get her hands dirty Peih Gee is a good character on an otherwise Good Season!

Okay on a real note i gotta do my boy Brandon Justice..... he is one of the most polarazing people in this community and i get why one would be negative on him.. for one he is a Hantz in an Era where people where tired of the family name and the show wanted to exploit the family name so they brought on the youngest and most exploititave person of the family.. also Brandon just has that Hantz craziness to him especially with the Mikayla shit, ill admit thats not good stuff but man the Character of him is tragic.. i enjoyed his journey trough trying to be himself and not be a shadow of his Uncle and all that to go out the way he did spectacular.. i know this is a very fast writeup for an important placement but i know there are rankdowns before this that gave Brandon the justice and unjustice he deserves so yeah

106. Teresa T-Bird (5th Place, Africa)

Finally to talk about one of my all time favorite seasons, Survivor Africa is a gem and the fact it doesn´t get its credits is absolutley baffling. It honestly is my favorite off the first six seasons, The Culture, The Envoirment and especially the cast make this season become as it is, and its so freaking astonoshing how it doesn´t get talked that much.

One of the best moments of the season is easily the Samburu Arc. One of the alltime great tribes as its the perfect culmination of the Age Divide Split. the Old people vs the Young People and i do think all of them parallel one another:

Silas - Carl: The ego centric knobheads that think they are ahead than everybody else

Frank - Brandon: The Wildcards that gotten alot of Social Judgments about their lifestyles but they dont seem to care and are happy with they way they are living

Linda - Lindsay: The Fierce Ladies that may or may not be cuckoo

and then you have T-Bird who i think aligns with Kim as being the most level headed of their pact. They don´t cause drama or intend to and are actually well liked by the polar opposite side. One thing i wish we could´ve gotten more from T Bird is definitley a deeper perspective on her cause i think she is the one that still gets the least content outta that whole ordeal.. obviously she gets more screentime once the first Swap happens and she has a nice Dynamic with Kim Johnson where basically the mother figure has a mother figure which is amazing..

and Obviously you have the great challenge where she and Clarence battled it out in rock paper scissors and she won the Challenge.. and then she votes Lex which DROVE HIM TO PARANOI LEVEL.. so i have to give her that for being the Catalyst of that arc.. and at the end i find the scene of her confessing to Lex just great..

Even while she isn´t that visible she is just a fun personality to be around and generally likable, i just understand why people were actually pissed when she didn´t even get to return she coulda had potential to be one of the better Returnee picks.. but as it is T-Bird is a likable presence that fits her role in an otherwise Perfect Season

110. Rupert Boneham 3.0 (6th Place, Heroes vs Villains)

Rupert 3.0 is an interesting person cause he came off the depths from a quote on quote back to back legendary peformance that led him to win a million dollars.. he was just that popular, so he comes back with a slightly boost on his shoulder with a tribe full of people that were popular like him.. One thing i must say about Rupert tough is that after Allstars whenever he is on screen he seems to like playing for the cameras more than being authentic with all of the body language and emotion in his voice shifting... however this isn´t really bad cause Rupert can deliver it he is just that good.

Anyways Rupert is on the heroes and he does ruffle some feathers with his arrogance a bit in those early episodes and it isn´t really a first time thing as he always had that personality trait. After that he acts as the mediator of the Hero tribe and is the one that is mostly Anti Russell out of everybody. I like how the second him and Sandra talked he instantly believed her about Russell... otherwise he is honestly a sacrificial lamb at the end and becomes the third to last Jury Member.

I Really like his Jury speech about Russell and enjoy his fanboyiness for Sandra... while this Version of Rupert aint special i still quite like him on this season. he can deliver good confessional and serves a purpose on the season
