36. Bob Crowley (Gabon): Bob is truly a warrior. He's fought his way deep into the rankdown, outlasting the likes of Scout, Greg, and Judd. Bobby is an icon of the highest caliber, an under-the-radar positive force who orgasms over the sight of herbs with his might Gaboner. Bob also won 3 immunities, the most of anyone in Gabon, because he's just that fucking bad ass. He was a 57 year-old boyscout who built a bench. He built a bench in the middle of Gabon because why the fuck not? When you're roughly 5,800 miles from home in the African wilderness, would the thought of building a bench cross your mind? No, only Bob thinks of shit that cool. Bob also made the best fake idol in the history of the show, and got the "Mountain Shot" where you just stand on the side of something tall as the camera zooms out and spins around you. I'm glad the plebs of the rankdown understood how fucking fantastic Bob was, and allowed him to make it to 36. I'm honestly only cutting him now so I could be the one to honor the Great Bob. (RJ would've done a good job too.)

35: Clay Jordan (Thailand): I dunno why I'm so surprised Clay made it this far, but fuck it, I'll take it! Simply put, Clay Jordan is one of the best parts of Thailand. Hands down. He's this small dwarf of a man who pretty calmly admitted on national tv to "whupping his kids ass and putting it back to bed." In fact, now that I think about it, everything that comes out of Clay's mouth is gold, like when he compares Helen to an encyclopedia or "she ain't getting shit from this one." And he also almost gets murdered by Robb during the ATTACK ZONE challenge. Good stuff.
But you know what makes everything golden? HE ALMOST WON. He was one vote away from winning the game against Mr. Fuckin Freeze Brian Heidik. He ain't the typical goat a lot of people I think assume he is. His answer to Penny's question where he pretty much lists off her entire family tree to her to show how much he knows about her is pretty sweet. I mean c'mon, imagine a universe where Clay fuckiing Jordan beats Heidik. It's not that hard.

34. Ethan Zohn (Africa): At this point, there's really only 2 people I really want to cut. I love Ethan Zohn a lot but I think 34 is where his ride ends. Ethan was my first winner and one of my favorites. Boran as a whole (the post-merge part of it at least) wasn't particularly interesting but at least he was a fun nice guy. He also threw that challenge to rek Silas and IS A JEW SO HE WON'T EAT THE HAM. Also he's gotta be one in the top tier of humans ever? Seriously I fucking love Ethan

32: Heidi Strobel (Amazon): Heidi is great. She's just a generally fun, ditsy presence in the season. Between Heidi/Jenna, Jenna's probably the better player, but Heidi provided me with much more enjoyment. Having said that, while I do enjoy Heidi greatly, I feel like we've let her slip too far into the rankdown - I would've put her somewhere in the 50's, personally I just didn't realize she was still in it, to be completely honest. Anyway, a fun, memorable presence on her season, if not legendary. Glad to see she wasn't forgotten and made it deep.
Shortish write-up, sorry, other stuff is distracting me.

31. Denise Stapley (Phillipines) - The ultimate Survivor. The only player in history to attend every single Tribal Council, and not only did she persevere, she won the whole damn thing. How did she do it? Social game, people. At the end of the day, I don't care who wins the season, I will bet all the money in my pocket against all the money in yours that the winner played the better social game out of all the finalists.

30. Ami Cusack (Vanuatu): The Ice Queen is finally dethroned. Uber-feminist warrior Ami showed up ready to kick some male ass, and the producers egged her on. The Day 1 ceremony helped piss Ami off, so Ami rallied the girls together about beating the men because men are evil, and gave them a pretty good sense of team spirit...for the first episode. Then it turned into younger vs. older girls, and when Ami ends up in the majority, this is where she really becomes the Ice Queen of Yasur. Some examples:
1. Ami destroys Bubba with the force of 1,000 suns merely by glaring at him.
2. Lisa makes a comment that could possibly imply Ami gets voted out, because she's Lisa. Ami executes her mercilessly because Lisa is Lisa.
3. Ami decides Rory is the next person to go, but Yasur wins immunity so Rory and his little crack are safe from Queen Ami. When the merge hits, Ami then takes out Rory because she wanted to two rounds prior, and her orders must be carried out.
At the merge, Ami continues to whip her goons into doing what they want until the Final 7 vote, where EVERYTHING falls apart for the Emma Frost of Survivor. The legendary feminist warrior who has a heart made of ice decides to...be nice? Yes, Ami drops her hatred of men and her hatred of emotions for a round, and wants to save Chris because she felt that he was more deserving of Eliza. Only Eliza could annoy a feminist, man-hating warrior into trying to save a man. Anyway, after Ami tries to do the right thing, she gets fucking destroyed when Scout and Twila grab Chris who grabs Eliza, and takes out her best friend Leann. Ami, in the end, was cut down by an old lesbian who couldn't walk, an overweight, over-the-top road worker, a tough as fuck road worker, and the inspiration for Soso. In the finale, Ami roasts Twila for being too cruel and too cold, which is pretty ironic considering that Ami was the cruelest and coldest player while she was in the game. To end the Ami Saga, here's my all-time favorite voting confessional, about yours truly: "Ami, queens get dethroned, and lightning will strike a lone tree on top of a mountain faster than anything." God bless you Scout.

29. Jerri Manthey (Australia) - The original RTV Villainess...which is funny because the things she did in Australia are hardly considered villainous anymore. Still, Jerri's a pretty important character in the context of the shows history by basically codifying an entire archetype of players (most of whom fall insanely flat, like Corinne.) To say that Jerri at one point was one of the most hated women in America wouldn't be untrue. Her multi-season arc with Colby is the stuff of legends, and could've come full circle in HvV had it not been for Mr. Hantz, but I digress. Jerri is all around just gr8, and her being this high up is well deserved.

We could just post the last 29 on the AS board, since everyone's checking that still.

We could just post the last 29 on the AS board, since everyone's checking that still. There are no forums we can all access where one of us has a moderator rank, and not all of us are checking it. It's been 2 weeks since it became Stephen's cut. I was fine with this taking longer and didn't want to remove anyone because we were so close to the end, but this is too much. Sorry Stephen, you're out. RJ's up. |
