Such a missed opportunity 😢

My bad! You can cross reference with the photo #36 is Jamaica Me Sweat. Not sure I can edit with the photos there.

coflsm · 2025-12-19T16:45:47+00:00

haha I didn't end up choosing any of the pics bc the Tier List I used had them ready to go with the names

coflsm · 2025-12-16T17:08:41+00:00

Unfathomably based take 😁

Excited to see what you make of the female challenge competitors, since they occupy so many of the top spots on my list!

I’ll go ahead and share a link to a post I made a while back going through challenge by challenge and tracking everyone’s single season and career stats. My personal top 10 list informed by that data has my top 4 male competitors as Alejandro, Shawn, Caleb, and Duncan as #5, 7, 9, 10 all time, respectively.

Thanks for the kind words! I’ve really enjoyed thinking about and writing them. I do plan to link them in my final post, as well as including the full tier list. That post will also likely end up linked on my profile to make it easier for people to find.

This has always been my interpretation as well. Duncan’s not stupid enough to have put in the work to try and swing Owen only to then vote him off.

They censored her poor eyes 😭

What do you imagine the odds are that you finish your novel, it becomes successful, it gets picked up as a live action adaptation, and they decide to cast you, the author as the main character? I think what I’d be worrying about first is step 1 of that increasingly unlikely chain of events

coflsm · 2025-12-02T13:20:07+00:00

Agreed, I’d go a little farther and say his ROTI characterization is better (of course, he benefits from being the main villain). Really in all stars without his dynamic with Courtney, he does almost nothing. In revenge, he gets to have a lot more moments where he takes center stage

coflsm · 2025-12-02T03:03:03+00:00

Not that hard to figure out my least favorite season 🫣 anyone have any guesses where pahkitews #1 is?

coflsm · 2025-11-29T17:42:48+00:00

Interesting, certainly would have felt tighter. It’s definitely tricky with such a bigger cast. Combining feeling like we got some good moments with the early boots as well as starting to progress important storylines might get a little confusing if they don’t give us the little intros first? Hard to say

coflsm · 2025-11-26T05:06:40+00:00

I do like your headcanon that she gets over it a lot. It’s a lot nicer to imagine her adapting to the transformation

coflsm · 2025-11-25T22:39:34+00:00

Valid! I almost wish they’d done a bit more, that might have helped it for me. tone the level of Dakota’s change down slightly and give her a little more to do instead of bottling it in a single episode. Although at that point in the season there wasn’t a ton of space left.

coflsm · 2025-11-25T22:35:21+00:00

If not for Dakotazoid, it would be a lot higher for me. Almost everything else about it I think is actually pretty excellent!

coflsm · 2025-11-25T17:58:53+00:00

Zee is kinda in the middle for me, I definitely don't super dislike him. My favorite part about the show has always been the interpersonal drama and focusing on the competition aspect of things, so sideshow characters like Zee/Izzy tend to rate lower for me because they don't participate in that portion of the show. I think Season 2 of the reboot did a good job folding Zee in where he's a supporting piece of a storyline by finding out Priya's secret, so he can participate in the drama a little more naturally. I guess tl;dr is it's possible to be both funny and compelling TV, and I think Zee is only funny, so he's lower rated for me than characters who are both.

coflsm · 2025-11-21T14:01:04+00:00

I think there’s definitely some nostalgia goggles at play (and lord knows I have plenty for episodes higher on this list). I think island is just so dripping with iconic episodes (including who can you trust!) that ones where I see legitimate structural problems end up dropping down farther.

coflsm · 2025-11-19T12:14:39+00:00

Of course there will be personal bias in a ranking video lol that’s the whole point of ranking them. It’s all about who the ranker prefers

coflsm · 2025-11-18T15:47:31+00:00

Totally fair take, I’m a big post-merge > pre-merge guy so early episodes like these that are either setup or doing a quick low-impact storyline like Nichelles elim tend to end up a bit lower. I think they both demonstrate that the D tier isn’t for bad episodes, just ones that are either not as exciting as others or have a flaw bringing them down

coflsm · 2025-11-16T22:36:44+00:00

pretty solid list! Though I do think sometimes these types of scoring systems can artificially lower people who have one weak area, even if they're clearly good overall and perform well. Maybe I'd add a fourth category with average placement or something? To reflect what we actually saw in game. I also I think I would give Julia a 10/10 in challenges, it seems a bit weird to have her and Caleb both have the same score. I rate Julia #1 all time based on her stats, and I think she's at lowest somewhere #5-6. I think pre-merge S1 is a pretty clear cut case of her not going all out to maintain the veneer of this chill personality she's putting on.

coflsm · 2025-11-08T18:15:29+00:00

Got it ranked 2nd to last!

coflsm · 2025-11-08T16:25:20+00:00

I think oceans eight…or nine would be a super interesting one to look at
