Obituary text by Marcus James Dixon, John Benutty and Susan Wloszczyna. One of which would be relatively well received and the other one that I am sure will be controversial. At its simplest form the game of Survivor can be broken into three components of social, strategic, and physical game. Wardog, on the other hand, is the more strategic of the two and in my opinion the worse strategist of the two. Yeah, maybe. Edge of Extinction: Wendy Diaz & Dan “Wardog” Silva. Cagayan: Garrett Adelstein This one was tough because Cagayan is arguably the best season of Survivor. Press J to jump to the feed. But they have a slight problem on their hands.

But, overall, the guy just seemed to get on Survivor by being related to Russell, his entire personality was attached to his uncle, his entire legacy was to increase the Hantz legacy, and he followed along with Coach’s cockamamie scheming until it bit him in the butt. This is really a shame because, up until making one silly mistake Ami Cusack was playing a perfect game that would see her skip to the finals with her right hand woman Leann Slaby in her all girl alliance. So ultimately I was left with two choices for worst gameplay, both early exits and both on the Brains tribe. Anh-Tuan “Cao Boi” Bui was a close one but he didn’t exactly make any bad gameplay other than being a little annoying to the other players. Awful players. SURVIVOR: San Juan del Sur: In a series of bizarre Survivor moves, the Coyopa Tribe votes off their strongest physical competitor, John Rocker, who leaves with a hidden idol in his pocket. D&D Beyond I think that Mike is a nice guy who wasn’t a horrific player. Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. Yes, this is semantics and Gregg really doesn’t deserve to be labeled “the worst” but for lack of a better choice, he was the one who had the chance to make sure Tom didn’t win and didn’t take it. The only addition to this season is that Colton proved himself to be one of the worst Survivor players in history by quitting whenever he didn’t get his way. Purple Kelly was a nothing entity and quit. A couple of things. He is beloved by producers, Especially host/producer The Probst for being good TV with his painful delusions of grandeur. A large part the show is such a success is because of the memorable people who compete on it. John seemed to be simply the dude who saw the numbers and organized them in a way that made logical sense when the merge occurred. The Galu tribe was not going to take her to the finals.

Additionally, he appeared on the Australian Survivor: Champions vs. “Survivor” deaths: here is the full list of castaways we’ve lost. More like the most charismatic dude out of the alliance. Joe del Campo also made the list for simply being a nothing entity in his season and being evacuated due to eating too much steak. I also almost gave it to Will Sims but at the end of the day a purple edit does not guarantee you a bad gameplay. I kind of feel bad for putting Mike here. Thailand was a fucking awful season and one of the worst parts is the cast which was just appalling to watch and to watch strategize. His moves got him far in the game, but they were moves that insured he would never win. But his arrogance kept him from seeing that his laziness pissed off most of the new Rarotonga tribe.

He ran the Coyopa tribe brilliantly and was eliminated in the merge for being a legitimate threat. Debb and Kimmi’s eliminations were unanimous votes so Jeff was THE ONLY Kucha member to have votes against him. It is what saw Andrew knocked out just before the jury stage for being the big muscley white guy leader. Rafe made great plays throughout the game and proved himself to be just as cunning as the rest of the people in the game, if not more. So, as I’m working on some various projects for my Ph. You want people that are goats from day one but couldn't even get past their first tribal. One, I really need to write more on my site after I spent two years focusing on my video content and two, as I am bingewatching seasons of Survivor on Hulu and watching David vs. Goliath, I need to write more on Survivor.

The winner of the prize though, JP Calderon, earns the spot as worst player for being someone who legit had a chance to make good gameplay. So this is the Worst Survivor players for each season!

Just because he is able to make it to the final or strong arm his way through votes does not mean he is a good player. So … The dude quit the immunity for some fucking peanut butter, thus costing him and Kucha their entire game as they were systematically picked off with Jerri and Amber only breaking the elimination streak. The only praise they get is the way in which they eliminated Russell Hantz. I know some are right now saying why is Jeff being punished for a single mistake while Colby is forgiven for his single, more consequential mistake? So it is hard to choose a “bad player” because Ulong was playing hot and heavy the entire season and Koror was happy to worship the ground Tom walked on. Seriously, that guy had to WORK to get himself voted out. Twenty years and 40 seasons of Survivor are in the books! He started off on the bottom, self enforced by a mentality of “the alpha men are alpha mening and that means I’m a weak boi” which had a little validity to it but could have been remedied with the same gameplay he used with JT in Tocantins… That he did not do. This guy was the best player in Africa. There are a few posts, but for the most part all but a few of them to be wildly inaccurate and focus on players that people did not like as players, not on their strategy or their gameplay.

Marred with controversy, thanks in large part to his outspoken nature, he got his start in sports in 1999 as Executive Vice President of the Montreal Expos. I am not going to give this to Ian who I legit think would be a great player in another season and did a good job playing Tom’s number two until he thought about playing for a split second. But at the end of the day Peter takes the prize for gameplay that was just kind of sad. Garrett is a Seattle local, hopeful comedian, and journalist for Arizona State University’s State Press Magazine. Which is a cardinal sin if you have a fucking immunity idol. It is a shame putting him here because Rafe Judkins was one of the best players of this season, but ends up finding himself as the worst player. David is the first person voted out, 4-2.

After appearing on Survivor: The Australian Outback in 2001-02, where she placed fourth, Hasselbeck snagged an audition to replace Lisa Ling on The View, and the rest is history. But I’m not even picking on him for the blindside. The only addition to this season is that Colton proved himself to be one of the worst Survivor players in history by quitting whenever he didn’t get his way. Additionally, Mariano and his wife Amber Brkich, who won All-Stars (beating him for the top prize!) He purposely aligned with the Tagi Alliance while trying his best to disassociate himself with the alliance as much as possible and to clear his conscience when the opposition was being picked off one at a time. Stephen is considered one of the greatest strategic players Survivor has ever seen.In Tocantins, he quickly performed a rock-solid alliance with J.T. Brandon did not want to go with the plan because he kind of liked Lex and REALLY hated Frank. He was happy to go with the flow in the majority Drake alliance until it bit him in the ass. But he never did anything that I would consider to be horrifically bad! But he chose not to and hoped he could get to the final four with his plays. The “strategy” in the post game for Koror can pretty much be summed up with “now everyone follow the plan that leads to Tom being in the finals and winning $1 Million dollars and anyone who deviates from the plan will be chastised as a no-good-very-bad-person with zero morals.” Hence why I am extremely angry at the most of the cast near the end when Ian Rosenberger thought, for one second, about playing the game, he was labeled a traitor and shamed into giving up $1 million dollars by Tom in the final immunity challenge with talks of earning back respect and so forth. So thus it turned into a strategy to vote for the right person who had the most votes. Ogakor had Keith and Jerri who had votes against them.

Peter was a smart guy, landing him on the Brains tribe. An absolute blunder from start to finish. appeared on The Amazing Race together, both in season seven where they were the runners-up and on All-Stars. It is quite clear that this season was mainly filled with people who were slated to be on the Amazing Race that was moved over to Survivor when CBS decided to go with a second Blood vs. Water premise. His husband Reed, on the other hand… was bad… He was just bad. But ultimately he was eliminated even playing his vote steal advantage. But they certainly didn’t do anything memorable to make them stand out as a “bad player” (Nick Brown immediately comes to mind). She started out in the minority of the cursed Manu tribe that saw Reem and Keith go early before she was sort of dragged along for several episodes as the rest of the cast ran around like chickens with the heads cut off playing the most paranoid game of Survivor I have ever seen. 1st player to be voted out first twice! But almost with each edit he seemed to dismantle everything that he just said. Worlds Apart is a difficult one because the gameplay in the season was top notch. This game was handed to fireman Tom on a silver platter. But in the hands of a better strategist who could see numbers and work them toe their advantages, this could have been much more compelling then what it was. Contenders, where he was also voted out second. He is a crappy player who is good at making it far in the game where he will inevitably fail. SO, instead of just writing a Top 10 or Top 20 list, though I reserve the right to do it in the future, I decided to highlight the worst player from each season.

He was SO GOOD that he essentially made Survivor all stars out of Tyson Apostal, JT Thomas, Taj Johnson-George, and Benjamin “Coach” Wade. At this point they don’t see Chris as a huge threat so they decide to get rid of some extra alliance members in Eliza. As stated before, Keith adapted and started to make legitimately good moves near the end. That is it. There were ultimately three runners up that almost took the taco. Unfortunately this season is hard. Kimmi made the mistake of admitting that Jeff had a vote against him. Joaquin did attempt to make some big plays but just constantly found himself on the bottom due to bad luck. Figgy and Taylor were brash, cocky, and more concerned with their no-no bits then they were with playing the game. Seriously, they should have saved Rocker for a different season instead of attaching baggage onto him. So for starters, I am not here to talk about the legal troubles of Michael Skupin.

Oh Natalie… You were a hot mess from the start and just sort of stayed the course until you were eliminated. John Fincher though, in his infinite wisdom was convinced to switch on his alliance, for the sake of not going to rock draw, if that was what was going to happen, and as such continued to punch the futility of the Galu tribe with incredibly high numbers at the merge, putting more power into Russell’s hands, and guaranteed he was going out next. This season is high octane on gameplay so you had to bring your A Game for this one.

Corinne Kaplan and Randy Bailey do not nearly get the flack they get for their gameplay which was even more ruthless and hateful than Sugar’s and Sugar’s gameplay was mainly a reaction to them being legitimate jerks to her at every chance they had, shit on her father’s memory, and wishing that she would die horribly. The rest of the gameplay in this season was good and some dishonorable mention does need to be tossed to Erik Hoffman who just sort of let himself be voted off by the majority alliance and be okay with the loss.
