119. Ace Gordon (Gabon) - Ace survived the chop once. It's his time. He's definitely not top 100 material.

117: Caryn Groedel (Palau): I feel like I'mma get shit for this one, but fuck it. I never really was a fan of Caryn, she just always came off very loud and very angry most of the time, and when that's all I remember about you, that's not usually good. I like everyone else from Palau a lot more than I like Caryn, so I'm cutting her here.

116. Danny "GC" "G-Sizzle" Brown (Gabon): "He wanted to be leader and he quit and now he wants to quit the game. I don't play like that do NOT disrespect me like that."- Crystal Cox. So GC was a really fun pre-merge character but I think Top 100 is a bit high for him. I enjoyed the 5 episodes we got of him but he definitely left at the right time and I think this is his time in the rankdown as well
Brian's Edit: I fixed it. GC was tired of Kass' shit and jacked the boat.

Also, you went up Stephen, not down - the number's supposed to be 116.

115. Rob Mariano (HvV): Rob had the majority Villains alliance running like clockwork. The Villains had the edge in challenges, and their camp was just the source of a lot more fun than the Heroes' camp was. A lot of this can be attributed to Rob's leadership. However, Rob's time on the island is shockingly cut short when some cocky little fuck overthrows him because he couldn't comprehend following somebody else's leadership. I choose to believe that Rob called Hunter Ellis after getting home and apologized to him after he had the same thing happen to him, but I think it was the best thing for his character. I enjoyed the taste of Boston Rob we got in HvV, even though I think it was marred a little bit by the fact that his duel with Russell helped usher in the dark era of the show. Whatever. He was fun, but enough's enough.

114: Benjamin "Coach" Wade (HvV): Coach was by no means bad in Heroes vs. Villains - we're not talking about South Pacific here. And he certainly had a lot of fun moments - the seesaw, the tree, Tyson's "pep" talk, etc. But ultimately, he didn't contribute overly much, aside from throwing his vote and enabling more Russell, and his story isn't really there, all that much. I'm happy he made it to the Top 5 characters there, because he was cooky and fun, but he didn't last long enough to make it fun in an iconic, Tocantins esque way. This is about where he should fall.

113. Gervase Peterson (BvW) - Really, Gervase was the #1 character from BvW? That's suspect. And I guess that means no one from BvW makes top 100.

112. Rob Cesternino (Amazon): This one's gonna cause a firestorm, I can feeeeeel it. Now, I'm probably more critical than most are about Rob (Except Slurm, god bless), but he really doesn't hold up watching the season now. I rewatched Amazon late 2014, and I just didn't enjoy Rob the same way I had previously. He wasn't as fun as I remembered, and frequently his "jokes" ended up being awkward or cringeworthy because he constantly tried so hard. Rob has weird hand movements and head bobbing in most of his "Look at me I'm funny" confessionals, and I think he's one of the worst confessional givers for the amount of confessionals he's had. Before Cagayan, Rob had the 2nd highest amount of confessionals ever and still might (Tony might've leapfrogged him), so there's bound to be some funny and important stuff coming out of his mouth, but a lot of it is uncomfortable and he gets pretty sexist. Making fun of JoAnna's religion and saying Jesus would side with the guys because he's also a guy, saying the women are useless at camp life and need their boyfriends to help them, and going in detail about what a shower would be like with he, Jenna, and Heidi are all huuuge misses that are more uncomfortable than anything else. Rob is also very quick to shit about his friends in his confessionals for screen time, and tries to make a lot of people look bad to make himself look better.
That being said, Rob has some great moments - Matt and the Machete, the Junior Deputy Firewood Bitch, The Mixer, Perry Como/Prune Juice, calling out Heidi/Jenna on how being pretty is a handicap, and of course, one of the best voting confessionals ever in Roger's boot. Rob is someone who brings a lot of fun moments like this and a lot of "Oh god why did he say that?" moments to the table, and I totally understand why people consider him one of the funniest Survivors of all time. I just disagree.
Rob is someone who did help move the game forward with "The Chain" and constantly flipping back and forth to take people out. He was the next "big player", and I'd put him on the Mt. Rushmore of villains from the first 7 seasons, along with Hatch, Jerri, and Jonny Fairplay. He's been heralded as the best player to never win by Probst, and has countless fans to this day, most of them knowing him from RHAP. He helped inspire Fairplay's game, the best villain in Survivor history. With all of that in mind, Rob isn't the mastermind we're supposed to believe. He revealed all his game secrets to Matt and he had a major hand in setting himself up in what was an almost unwinnable Final Three, so I think he's absurdly overrated as a strategist. However, he made a lot of episodes fun to watch because you weren't sure if Rob would win out and take out another ally of his or another person he was working with. He really helped propel the season forward, so I appreciate the good parts and will point out the bad parts.
Rob is an all-time great, and everyone enjoys parts about him, but I don't really think he's as funny or as strategically sound as people make him out to be, and when you take away those two aspects (or at least minimize them), then what's left? Whether you love him, or begrudgingly like him, Rob is an innovator of the show and is a reason it is the way it is today, and he inspired much better characters and built a blueprint for aggressive, cutthroat gameplay. Idol'd by Lex.

112: Clarence Black (Africa): For some reason we have a lot more people left in Africa then we do in Australia, so I'mma take this moment to make it a little more even. I loved Clarence in his first episode, what stealing the cherries and his whole thing with Diane, but after that we only get small moments from him every couple of episodes until he gets voted off at the merge. Like the guys, he's just the weakest Africa person left imo.

111. Kim Powers (Africa): Heartbreaking childhood story time. Back in 2001, Africa was delayed airing a few weeks and as scheduling happened, I was able to get an episode on my 8th birthday. That episode? Kim Powers' boot. Needless to say I rushed home from my birthday dinner at some random ass place to make sure I could watch and see if Kim or Teresa could pull through...and Kim got voted out. It was heartbreaking seeing my second ever survivor crush (shoutout to Kelly Goldsmith all time #1) get brutally mauled.
About Kim's actual time on the show. She was on Samburu <3 (one of the best tribes ever because seriously everyone but Carl is TV gold) and was in the Mall Rats Alliance (aka the Young Lazy Bitches) and was designated the sweetheart of that group (my guess is that she was helped by who she aligned with in Brandon/Lindsey/Silas). She got pretty quiet until the Lindsey boot where she had to calm Lindsey the fuck down after Lindsey realized old Boran knew she had past votes and was brutally slain (guess she's not so strong :~) #JusticeForLinda). Then, Brandon fucks everything up and Kim P talks about how Brandon WAS HER ~FRIEND~ and she'd never do that to him. Other than that, Kim P was just an adorable presence and I'm glad she made it to 110

110. Colby Donaldson (HvV): This is not the beautiful Colby I fell in love with in Australia. That Colby was fun. That Colby was good in challenges. This Colby is just kinda ... along for the ride.
To be fair, Colby did have some fun moments that were heightened by the disparity between the way he was perceived and the way he was 9 years later. Him vegging out while the two girls fought over the idol clue, James calling him "Superman in a fat suit", and his outbursts during the loved ones challenge were all great and all ran contrary to the Colby we knew. Unfortunately, Colby is a somewhat dour presence on the season, and his reunion with Jerri isn't really explored at all.
