First Kass, then Jeremy steal my cuts for this round. Goddamnit. Oh, well.
220: Sally Schumann: I mean, I'm in the minority in that I preferred both Terry and Austin to her, but that's me. She's a solid member of La Mina though, especially given its a pretty boring tribe and she's reasonably interesting and fun. And really cute, too. But yeah, she didn't have a major impact on the season besides being kinda MORP - like, she only voted with the majority once. Fun character, but not Top 200.

219. Jaison Robinson (Samoa) - Jaison was just a bland addition to Foa Foa. I mean, he had his beef with Ben, but other than that, what memorable moments did he really have? He was content to follow Hantz, and then got bitter when CGI Brett won immunity and he was the one sent home. He's not top 200 material.

218. Colby Donaldson (All-Stars) Colby did jack shit All-Stars and wasting a cut on a schlep like him now means I have to hold off on cutting Hayden and Aras AGAIN.

217: Brenden Synott (Tocantins): Brenden is best known for being the so called "dragon" that inspired the name "DRAGONSLAYERtm." He is one of the first people to attempt to create a cross tribe alliance, then promptly forgot to maintain it and got voted out. Lol. Very middle of the road.

216. Amber Brkich (Australia): OH MY GOD IT'S SOOOOOOOOO GOOD. Okay so I love Amber probably a lot more than most people and I completely love her supporting role as "loyal Jerri minion/cub" and had that literally been her entire storyline complete with a cute UTRN edit I'd have propped her a lot higher. Unfortunately, she was irrelevant. That being said, Romber 5ever.

In the interest of keeping this moving, since it's been 24 hours since Stephen's cut, imma make one.
215. Sarah Lacina: President Lacina was fun in her boot and the first few episodes, but besides that...yeah, there really wasn't much more to her. I remember everyone thinking she was gonna win pre-season, which made her being the merge boot even funnier in retrospect. But yeah, fun at times, but she was very MOR - had some good episodes, had some she literally had no impact on. 215 seems solid for her.

214. Ethan Zohn (All Stars) - Ethan is an inspiration to us all. He's a better human being than anyone taking place in this rankdown. But there were only a couple of people who had a good All Star showing, and Ethan wasn't one of them. He wasn't terrible, he was just bland. Idol'd by JFP.

214. Hayden Moss (Blood vs. Water) It's about damn time. Hayden was a boring gamebot who didn't bring much insight to the season or his own confessionals, and I'm still pretty damn sure he and Kat were a production-arranged couple. Now, he was apart of a few funny (or awkward) moments where he was the butt of the joke, like when Kat tried to awkwardly get him to switch with her without directly saying it or Rustle/Ruffle Feathers (those were like, pretty much all Kat or Tyson), Hayden did get Ciera to flip and draw rocks, which was pretty cool. I'll give him that. Overall, he provided slightly more than most gamebots normally do, but definitely isn't a top 200 character. If you want to see a fun character discussing strategy, go look at Earl. Earl's the man.

Lex I can't let this go by unattended. Ethan is one of the only people whose stock ROSE after All Stars, and his underdog story is amazing. Ethan gets my second idol/

213: Jeremy Collins (San Jesus Christ Del Superstar): I applaud Jeremy for being the superfan that he is, and I think had he gotten farther he could've probably done very very well in the game. However, to me at least he has a very one-dimensional edit, where he's just kinda a sourpuss about everything. I cannot recall any time he says something even remotely happy. And we never get the chance to see any growth or anything from him due to his blindside, so I will wait with baited breath for him to come back and prove how great I know he is.

212. Matty Whitmore (Gabon): Nice enough guy. Whitebread as all hell though. He proposed to his gf on the family visit and got vaguely self-righteous at times but it wasn't in a fun way. He also aligned with Ace who is pretty terrible (sorry Donovan/RJ/whoever else stans for Ace!) and later turned on Kenny/Crystal (which I get because they were turning on him but like...c'mon pick the more entertaining people). He also got FUCKING REKT by Bob motherfucking Crowley (<3) at a F4 firemaking challenge. Yeah! That's Matty Whitmore. Also his surfer bro thing got old after a while.

211. Kim Johnson (Africa): Let's play a game. Name as many character traits as you can about the person who came in second place in Survivor Africa. I want personality traits. Nothing related to her in-game accomplishments or her appearance; so "won the last two immunity challenges" or "has the most uncomfortable ass tanlines ever" are right out. You have 20 seconds. Go.
...
Not much huh? Yeah Kim Johnson never got much development other than "the old lady". She was vaguely nice, but being vaguely nice when you're standing next to Teresa Cooper is like lighting a candle on the Sun; nobody's gonna notice one way or the other. Overall Kim Johnson could have been a great underdog story: the kind old lady who singlehandedly lost a couple of tribe challenges, but turned into an immunity beast just in time to pull herself into second place. If her relationship with Ethan had been more explored, we could have had more insight into her decision to award him a million dollars when placed in the Kingmaker role at final three. We didn't get any of this though. We got an entire season of a character whom we were unable to empathize with, hate, laugh at, or feel for in any appreciable way. 211 is too high for her, but I've had a busy week and I missed my last cut. Bye KJ.

210: Susie Smith: (Gabon) It bugs me that Matty, who was surprisingly good, was outlasted by Susie, who...really didn't do much. Like, cool, her flipping on Marcus was kinda fun - but she wasn't really that good TV. It's kinda hilarious that she almost won, given the edit she had, but this is all meta stuff - Jeusisita's path ends here.

209. JoAnna Ward (Amazon) - She loved her some Jesus, that's for sure. And she loved to work around camp. But she was bossy and boring and had an unnatural phobia of the idol. She made it this far because Amazon's a strong season, but her time ends here.
