272. Jefra Bland (Cagayan): Jefra's last name says about all you need to know about her: Bland. I mean, she wasn't like, offensive or anything - she just didn't do much here. Marta is a better Jefra than Jefra was, and that might've carried her quite a ways, but on the show Jefra really wasn't that entertaining. Her making top half would just be kinda weird, since she was just the generic paegant girl witha kinda interesting backstory.

271. Jimmy Tarantino(Nicaragua) - America selected Jimmy T. Remember that the next time you complain about the bad job casting does. Again, we're in the area for squandered potential, and you can see why America picked this guy, but he was a whiner who constantly complained that his tribe didn't respect him enough, and there was the one challenge where he pretty much cost his tribe immunity. Really only made it this far for his squabbling with Marty.

270. Edgardo Rivera (Fiji). The last of the Four Horsemen finally falls, and Ed being the last one to go is sad. Edgardo didn't really do anything in the season, with Dreamz being way more amazing, Alex being way douchier, and Mookie has that fun blank-eyed stare a lot as he thinks slowly. Seriously, Edgardo is the Ringo to this Bizarro Beatles, he doesn't provide much of anything.

269: Ken Stanford (Thailand): Lex, you hold a grudge against Tom for being a firefighter in a post-911 America. My question to you is have you seen Ken in Thailand? Cause that's the only real character trait I remember from him is that he was an NYPD officer post-911 tbh. That and subtly accusing Clay of racism in his FTC speech. Fun times.

I don't hold a grudge against Tom for being FDNY. Half my family are FDNY and NYPD. I hold a grudge against Tom for being a dick.

268. Tyson Apostol (Heroes vs. Villains): Almost singlehandedly ruined the season. Not that funny on this season sans consoling Coach Wade angel <3. Also sent my faves down the shitter so...thanks.

267. Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien (All Stars): Sorry Kath. I love you, but I sincerely can't let your All Stars incarnation into the top half.
Kathy in Marquesas has probably the best story arc the show has ever seen. She was lovable, rootable, and sincere in a way that was impossible to dislike. In All Stars, she was the opposite. Kathy in All Stars is defined by her treatment of the season's two quitters: Jenna and Sue. When Jenna was worried about her mom dying of cancer, Kathy remarked that Jenna's gloominess was "like a cancer on the tribe." Ew Kathy. That is 100% not okay. First of all, the girl's mom is dying. Second of all, the girl's mom is dying OF CANCER; maybe reconsider your word choice there.
Then a couple episodes later, Sue leaves. Sue was obviously going through some shit when a dude rubbed his wiener on her on a nationally televised reality show. Everyone knows this is a delicate situation. Everyone, that is, except Kathy. Kathy says that she didn't get why Sue "felt the need to drag us down into her core of hatred." Kathy, honey, ignoring the fact that doesn't make any sense, that's a pretty vile thing to say to somebody who was sexually harrassed on reality TV.
Overall, I think Kathy was the biggest victim of the "legacy tainting" that happened during All Stars. Kathy left Marquesas as a beloved fan favorite with arguably the best story that's ever been on the show. She exited All Stars as an insensitive sociopath with no regard for anything but her own enjoyment, and overall I think it's just sad. Sorry Kath. You know I love you.

265: Randy Bailey (Gab-nah, HvV): It's his time, Donovan. Randy was fun, given his limited screen time, what with intentionally trying to break Rupert's toe, burning his buff, stuff like that. But, for a third boot, he doesn't offer enough stuff that players even like Paloma do t justify making the top half.

264. Robert DeCanio (Marquesas) - easily the most disposable of the Rotu 4. In fact, I really can't think of anything memorable he did other than be a part of the Rotu 4. He should be happy his association with Tammy, Zoe, and the Nurse Shark allowed him to crack the top 300.

263. Brad Culpepper (Blood vs. Water) Brad's alpha leader inspired some fun drama, but he himself didn't do much. He proved to be the foil that inspired Marissa/Candice hating him, but as a character, he didn't do too much.

262: Wanda Shirk (Palau): She was on screen for like a sixth of an episode before getting kicked out due to her annoying singing. While she was entertaining while she was there, she just wasn't around long enough to warrant getting any farther then this. Sorry Mama W.
