471: Amber Brkich (All Stars): Lemme get this out of the way, I CAN COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHY AMBER WON ALL STARS. Rob fucked over way too many people and Amber sat back and took none of the heat, and that's a legit way to win, so this won't be a "DURRR AMBER DIDN'T DESERVE TO WIN" thing. Instead, what it will be is a "AMBER BRKICH IS A VERY BORING CHARACTER" rant. Like c'mon, no body in their right minds would've wanted Amber to come out on top in All Stars against ANY OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THERE, because Amber at that point in Survivor history was pretty fucking irrelevant. I mean fuck, even someone like Shii Ann had more stuff going for her with that whole fake merge business. I wholeheartedly believe Amber was the most undeserving of the title of All Star, because what the hell did she even DO in Outback besides fantasize about food with Jerri? And so to have the most undeserving All Star win the whole damn game just poetically caps off the maddening season that was All Stars. That's why Amber is my least favorite winner at the moment.

470. Jim Rice (South Pacific)- I first would like to preface this by saying how fucking great it feels to cut Jim Rice. He falls into the school of "Probst favorite for being a strategic white male with a vague N tone" a la David Murphy. At first, I thought Jim was sorta okay because he stood up for Cochran twice (because let's be real here, booting Semhar/Elyse didn't dampen the entertainment value although in retrospect, Cochran works better as a first boot) BUT then Jim is like "lol I'm runnin' this shit" and he got his ass handed to him by Benjamin motherfucking Wade and Sophie motherfucking Clarke. He was apparently in finals for Caramoan too but thank God that two of the three worthwhile Savaiis came back (spoiler: the only savaii's that matter to me are Dawn/Whitney/Cochran). Part of me thinks 470 is too high for Jim but alas, this is where he lands and hopefully stays.

469: Brianna Varela (Guatemala): This is the first person I'm going after because they were aggressively boring, and by god Brianna was just that. There's a string of contemptuously dull boots in the Guatemala pre-merger; I picked Brianna because her vote out was the one that wasn't part of a more fun larger story surrounding somebody like Lydia or Judd. What I will say is that Brianna has one of my favorite pages on Survivor Wiki. Some excerpts:
-Because of their spirit and Nakúm's men weakened by dehydration, Yaxhá won the first Immunity Challenge. (*gag*)
-*Brianna was the last person to be voted out before the tribe swtich.
*She is the second person to be the third person voted out and have a tribe switch follow immediately after her elimination.
*The first was Hunter Ellis from Marquesas.
*She would be followed by Paloma Soto-Castillo in Gabon.
This is Survivor Wiki's equivalent of a Tim Kurkjian stat.

It's been like 48 hours, so technically it's Eliza's turn. Please, if any of Alina/Amber/Jeremy/Austin want to cut someone, go for it. Anything to keep this moving.

468: Ozzy Lusth (SP): Continuing my SP rampage. Ozzy was just one of the reasons this season was so unbearable. He had some good moments (but those moments were mostly unintentionally great, like "for revenge, basically"), but overall his camera hogging took away from what could've been an alright season.

Alrighty.
Maybe we should implement a "you can go once every 24 hours or after 4 other people have posted, whichever comes first" policy?
467: Sherri Beithmann
I was really torn between Sherri and Albert, because both of them fall into the category of "player who could have made the season better by flipping at literally any point and then chose not to, and somehow never realized that doing nothing didn't fly well with the jury." Sherri ultimately gets the nod for giving a much more cringeworthy jury performance.

In the interest of keeping the rankdown moving along, and Jeremy posted like an hour and a half ago, I'm gonna make a cut for the round.
466: John Fincher (Samoa)
"John Fincher is a poser." Rarely is Probst right on the money, but damn did he nail it here. Fincher enabled Russell getting further in the game, and for a rocket scientist, didn't really play that smart of a game. He's likable enough on podcasts and whatnot, and even then it's a bit iffy, but on the show he was just so...yeah. 466 seems like a solid spot for him.

Lex, you must have forgotten that when NaOnka quit, she had THIS in her possession:  And I'm using it right now to IDOL HER. She brings WAY too much to an amazing season to let her go out this early. |

465: Daniel Lue (Amazon). Daniel was boring as fuck, and I need him out first to pave the way for other, bigger fish to fry.
