Inspired by the Top 20 thread. Same rules: List your 20 least favourite Survivors, with reasons. You don't have to rank them, but just tell us why you don't like them.

I'm going to have to seriously think about this. I tend to hate the unbelievably popular people (Rupert, James, Stephenie, Mariano) and the divisive twits they've added to 'spice up' the later seasons (Randy, Douche, Russhole) with a passion, but beyond that it's going to be hard to fill out the list.

While I figure out who I'm going to put down, let's hear yours!

[BK1978]

Well you will get a list from me but like you said this is actually going to be tough. This is going to be a lot harder than the top twenty favorites.

[couldhavebee]

The title of this thread and the mere fact that it now exists has officially made my entire day, so thank you!

As you guys have said, it's (sadly) tough to narrow down this list and tough to put it in order, but I've got enough time on my hands to try!
Also, just to clarify, these are just the Survivors who, for whatever rational or irrational reasons, I happen to loathe, not the ones I think are the suckiest players. I'm not denying that, for instance, Parvarti has her strengths and plays the game well, but she's ranked very high on my list due to eliciting a high degree of nausea from me whenever she's on screen.

Bottom 12...until I weed out those 'lucky' final 8!

12. Amanda---I'll freely admit; I don't HATE Amanda, but this is more a vote against how overrated she is IMO. I'm a big fan of competence and intelligence, and IMO Amanda's gone as far as she has based on little more than luck and being a simpering little follower. Frankly, I'm sick of seeing her on my screen by now.

11. Rupert---I probably loathe him a little less than many here do, BUT see above re. how overrated he is in proportion to who he actually is as a player and how he's played the game. I hate how he's still known (and especially in his own mind) as the consummate 'good guy' despite being an embarrassingly egotistical, all-around ass on numerous occasions.

10. Vecepia Sanctimonious, self-righteous and, IMO, still among the very least deserving winners ever.

09. James Sure, the muscles are impressive, but I think he's a classless bully with serious anger management issues and an equally serious lack of intelligence. Ugh.

08. Sugar For starters, I hate that she even chooses to be called 'Sugar.' I hate her histrionics. (Good luck reviving that 'acting career', hon!) I hate her clingy, attention-seeking B.S. Just a contestant who happens to be a walking collection of some of my biggest pet peeves!

07. Heidi Maybe if she'd appeared on another season, I would have grown to like her a bit more, like I did with contestants such as her 'BFF' Jenna M. and Amber. But...I doubt it. She just really, deeply bugged me, and her constant reminders of how pretty and sexy she supposedly was (in her own modest opinion, natch), had my eyes rolling out of my head.

06. Alicia She's a lot of things I generally like and admire in the female contestants: tough, competent, awesomely athletic, tries to play with skills other than sex appeal, etc.

At the start of both seasons she was on, I really WANTED to like Alicia and semi-succeeded in doing so. But then, inevitably, we get the arrogance. The entitlement. The obnoxiously bad temper. The weird excess of moodiness and anger. And, by the halfway point, I'm always rooting AGAINST her despite my initial intentions to root FOR her.

05. Russell I find him profoundly annoying. He's not a deliciously evil, love-to-hate villain for me; he's simply a self-important irritation whom the editors insist on shoving down my throat in lieu of focusing on more likable or at least more interesting contestants. And...did I use words like annoying and irritating yet? I'm not sure I'm accurately conveying just how deeply this little troll bugs me ;)

04. Sandra It's a lot harder for me to justify this pick than it is for most of the others. It's just this strong visceral dislike for her personality and the way she plays. To me, she comes across as amazingly egotistical with little reason to be; not half as clever as she fancies herself; and just generally both boring AND vaguely slimy/objectionable at the same time, which is my least favorite type of Survivor contestant!

3. Lex So anyone even vaguely familiar with my posts knows that my adoration of Boston Rob is ridiculously deep. I swear, though, that Lex's post-All Stars feud with my beloved Rob is NOT the reason I'm ranking him so high...though the sides of him that emerged then DO help to effectively illustrate why I hate the guy, I swear I'd feel this way about Lex even if his major feud were against a contestant whom I loathed.

I feel Lex is the ultimate entitled Survivor who genuinely feels he 'deserves' to win because...because he's HIM! He's deeply, grossly hypocritical, berating others for the EXACT behavior he himself is 'guilty' of. He's bitter and angry and self-righteous and self-deluded and, oh yeah, that bright blue mohawk he wore when we saw him last (LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! I WANT ATTENTION!) had me snickering for days.

2. Parvarti---I get why people like her and especially get why people admire her game; I truly do. I can't help it, though...she just truly makes me ill on every level. I think she's a transparently phony, nasty little skank who vruelly feigns interest in others despite being 100% about her own perceived awesomness and who isn't a fraction as charming or attractive to me as she is to the rest of the world!

1. Johnny freakin' Fairplay---So must I even explain this one?! I think he's an impossibly slimy annoyance whose 'I'm a villllaaaaiiiiin' act repulsed me ragrdless of whether it was consciously feigned or indicative of who he truly is.

Looking forward to reading others' lists!

[Mr. 888]

Heh, couldhavebee, I pretty much agree with you except for Sandra (who's in my Top 20) and Amanda. Again, my Bottom 20 could change any minute. Tomorrow I may end up hating the hypocritical Survivors more than I do today.

Corrine- There is something profoundly disturbing about Corinne. She lacked any sympathy, and was too young to be disaffected the way Randy was (with Randy, it was almost like Carl from UP. There might have been love a long time ago, but now it's a bitter husk). Corinne brought up Sugar's dead father and revelled in her tears. She thought being cruel was interesting.

Russell- The thing is, I hate the editors equally for how frequently they portrayed him. He's a pompous troll who doesn't get how the game truly works, and the show rewards him nonetheless. Add to that his disdain for women and his constant desire to brag about everything, and he is just one of the worst.

Lisi- Oh, Lisi. After that laugh, I knew I wouldn't be friends with you. After the complaining and near-quitting, I was glad you were gone. But it was the jury speech, the "how many zeroes are in a million?" that truly exposed how sucky you were. It's a good thing that you fell down in the dirt (during a memory challenge!), because those few seconds of comeuppance are so fun to replay.

Dreamz- There was something very sad about Dreamz. He was homeless and he wanted to show people he was noble, hence the nickname. He was obnoxious in the first episode, not shutting up when everyone was trying to sleep. Then he flipped several times throughout the game and wondered why people didn't trust him. He swore to God he'd honor the truck deal with Yau-Man, tearfully broke it, and then pretended he was playing all along.

Judd- On Survivor, douchey meatheads are a dime a dozen (Robb, Mookie, Rocky, etc). Judd I chose because he lasted longer than most douchey meatheads. He was a hypocritical oaf whose lies were repeatedly exposed by Margaret and Gary. Almost magnificently, during the Tribal Council he was voted off, he was trying to convince the person he thought was being booted, "No hard feelings." Then he gets booted, and mutters, "Scumbags."

Parvati- I just can't stand her. She strikes me as annoyingly phony, smug, lazy, and entitled. In Cook Islands, she was just awful. She planned to get by on flirting, something that could only go so far against competent players.

Denise- This is also partly because she complained about having to be a janitor instead of a lunch lady when it turned out that sob story was a crock. She whined about being at the bottom of the totem pole, and did nothing to change it when the opportunities arose. When she failed at F4, she made a pitiful attempt to get Amanda to make a promise, and then became a completely bitter juror.

Jonny Fairplay- I don't really need to explain why.

Osten- To think he was the first quitter, that's embarrassing. The part where he was afraid of pelicans (!) and threatened to kill one with a machete was an ultimate low for a dude that also complained about how he was dying out there.

Coach- To be honest, I sometimes am vastly entertained by Coach, at least being reassured that the editors didn't take him seriously and the viewing audience didn't either. But he was arrogant, delusional, and hypocritical. Those things have diminished with his return in HvV, but he was still horrible during his first season.

Heidi- Similar to Parvati in the way that she's so smug and self-absorbed. She really played the part of Cinderella's evil stepsister well, thinking that the hard workers were merely jealous of her beauty.

Roger- Back when Survivor would occasionally discuss social issues, Roger showed himself to be a bigot. He and Alex argued over homosexuality; Alex thought it was okay, Roger obviously did not. Everybody there also felt he was a sexist as well, which caused him to be first voted out of the merged tribe.

Alex- The smarmy lawyer from Fiji. I knew he couldn't win, since we just had a highly-educated type winner last season with Yul (and the winners tend to not repeat themselves back-to-back demographically). He was decent for the first half of Fiji, though there were glimpses of smugness. Then that smugness grew and grew, to the point where he compared himself to a ninja and talked about "velvet gloves" and quotes from Monte Cristo. His jury question, as pointed out by the recapper, mostly consisted of, "Stop answering my question! Blargh blargh!" He was every negative stereotype about lawyers.

Nate- He was okay at first, although kind of ridiculous with the slang. Then when Brad opted out of the swimming in favor of the puzzle portion, he called Brad a "nancy boy." Then he was all ready to cut Jonathan Penner loose, but Penner made the first move by flipping, causing Nate to shout, "Kiss my ass," during his farewell speech.

Natalie- Natalie from FvF is one of the types of women I truly hate. I'm not going to lie. Flossing with a man's jugular is certainly a visceral reaction to a guy that never really wronged her. She's the type of woman who enjoyed seeing guys suffer, as if that was somehow the way to be empowering for females. Not to mention she was a horrible player too (whose stupid decision to send Jason to Exile was only bailed out by his stupid decision not to play the HII). I laughed when she said, "Given the opportunity, a woman will always outthink a man." Just because there was this one season where the final four was all females, suddenly THAT'S a victory for women everywhere?

Sugar- The editing also did a job on hiding her flaws. She did things for the cameras rather than the game. She tried to make things dramatic, but nonetheless the season wound up ending limply, with three finalists who didn't deserve it (at least the others tried to make strategic moves in self-interest). She was a goat, similar to Russell, and similar to Dreamz.

Lex- Word to couldhavebee's post. Keeping Amber over Jerri should continue to haunt him for the rest of his days.

Sarge- I rarely care for people with nicknames on this show. Sarge was a nickname for a guy who shouted a lot and had a bad temper and inability to forgive. During his jury speech, he apparently felt that Twila lying on her son's name was the worstest thing ever, not that he or Chris were above lying themselves. He also, in effect, said that if his mother tried to do the same thing, he would tell her to kiss his ass. Wow.

Rupert- He's not a great player. He's a good fisherman, and sometimes an asset in team challenges, but most of my dislike stems from how overrated he is. The sand shelter, the claims that he played the game honorably and "trusted people too much", and the frequent pleas for self-pity, the possessiveness with the spear, the many instances of condescending attitude... so many things wrong with him, and he still gets a million dollars AND a third chance. Boo.

Entire Cast of Thailand- I'm cheating a little here, but I agree with Jeff Probst- This was the worst season of Survivor. This was not only a disappointing cast in general, you wound up with a bunch of finalists that you couldn't really root for. Brian and Clay might have been the two grossest finalists ever. I did like Shii-Ann, but that fake merge where she got ousted still has me laughing inside.

Edited because counting to twenty is hard.

[couldhavebee]

Lex- Word to couldhavebee's post. Keeping Amber over Jerri should continue to haunt him for the rest of his days.

Heh. See, what makes Lex truly pathetic IMO---(in addition to his '14-year-old-who's crying-out-for-attention' physical appearance)---is that, even months after the game when he should have regained a semi-healthy perspective, he doesn't take responsibility for his in-game decisions, such as stupidly opting to keep Amber over the Lex-loving Jerri. Instead, he blames Rob for the fact that he (Lex) made such a stupid choice---and to blame him with a never-ending, hypocritical, self-righteous and weirdly bitter anger that's way, way out of proportion with what Rob was 'guilty' of.

Dreamz- There was something very sad about Dreamz. He was homeless and he wanted to show people he was noble, hence the nickname. He was obnoxious in the first episode, not shutting up when everyone was trying to sleep. Then he flipped several times throughout the game and wondered why people didn't trust him.

How could I possibly have forgotten about Dreamz?! I think I just repressed those memories. This is the one contestant in the history of the game whom I knew I'd find an impossibly irritating poseur based purely on his name (and his chosen spelling of it).

Parvati- I just can't stand her. She strikes me as annoyingly phony, smug, lazy, and entitled

Yup. Your adjectives were better than mine.

Jonny Fairplay- I don't really need to explain why

Hee---I think it's hilarious that both of us feel he's the ONLY contestant whose inclusion on this list is so self-explanatory that little to no elaboration is required ;)

Back when Survivor would occasionally discuss social issues,

*nostalgic, wistful sigh* I think I need to rewatch Borneo, Australia and Africa...

[bluezombie2]

20. Randy (Gabon): He started off as one of the most bitter, angry people the show has ever seen, and he would have been much higher on my list, but over time he became someone to be pitied rather than hated. He's still got racist tendencies and I still didn't enjoy him as a contestant either.

19. Rich (Borneo, All-Stars): I never enjoyed him as a contestant either, I found him arrogant and obnoxious, and terribly over-rated. Anyone nowadays playing against a group of people who wouldn't even make an alliance would not be seen as the greatest player ever for simply beating them at a game they weren't really playing. Plus there's the whoe All-Stars fiasco. He probably should actually be higher.

18. Ace (Gabon): The fake British accent was enough. Tool!

17. Laura (Samoa): A smug, bitchy woman who thought she was so superior to everyone else. No thanks.

16. Courtney (Exile Island): More annoying than someone I actually hated, but she just irritated me on every level.

15. Scout (Vanuatu): Probably more so for some of her post-show antics. She wasn't even remotely decent on the show, but afterwards she proved herself to be a complete idiot, among many other more distasteful things.

14. Rocky (Fiji): A nasty bully, who very deservedly got a reasonably early boot.

13. James (China/FvF): Such an over-rated player. For someone who should be such a physical threat, he really isn't. And that's pretty much the only thing he even has half going for him. He's not smart, and he is pretty much a bully.

12. Tom (Africa, All-Stars): Even when he was a supposedly loveble farmer speaking gibberish back in Season three, he annoyed the crap out of me. Then in all-stars he became a whinging, entitled jerk who thought everyopne should give him money. Yuk.

11. Sean (Marquesas): He was a lazy jackass who bugged me constantly throughout the whole season. His edit changed, but my opinion of him didn't.

10. Shane (Exile Island): I can see how he might have been amusing to some people, but he certainly wasn't to me. An obnoxious, insane psychopath, he just grossed and creeped me out on every level. And he was a bitter jerk on the jury. At least he's clearly a good father.

9. Corinne (Gabon): A nasty, hate-filled woman. She's the type of person who'd only have friends who were scared to not be on her side, it must be impossible to genuinely like her unless you're as horrid as she is. And I actualy really liked her for the first few episodes too.

8. Judd (Guatemala): Another person who thought everyone should give him the money, and accept when he wanted to vote them out. A nasty, classless bully with real anger issues, the only thing I remotely liked about him was his friendship with Jamie.

7. Lisi (Fiji): Just a complete jerk. I could use so many other words to describe her, but she is simply an utter asshole. Even before her rotten move at the final tribal council (slightly funny though, because SHE had to check with Alex whether Dreamz was right or not) she was a nasty cow, but after that she was nothing but vile.

6. Coach (Tocantins): I'm actually surprised he's not higher on my list, but the top end of this list are all disgusting. He was completely deluded, so arrogant and a complete jerk. Normally he wouldn't have been bad enough to get on the list, but he got far too much airtime, and it got to the point where I couldn't even stand to look at him or listen to him no matter what he was doing or saying. And now he's back again.

5. Jon (Pearl Islands/FvF): A disgusting weasel. He has literally no redeeming qualities. He's an idiotic famewhore, who makes up his own ridiculous nicknames, and lies about his grandmother dying just to win a reward challenge. He is completely ugly, inside and out.

4. Shii Ann (Thailand/All-Stars): Another person who is just so completely over-rated. She's supposed to be this great strategist, but her 'big move' in Thailand saw her voted out in 10th (and was only going to get her to sixth anyway.) Then in All-Stars, she never stood a chance of winning and she went along with Lex's idiot plan to vote out Jerri, effectively losing the game for their entire team. That's not a smart strategist at all, in fact, through that entire season, she was merely a follower. Along with that, she's a totally useless whiner. And a bitch. She also has a stupid nickname for herself. I cannot stand her.

3. Lex (Africa, All-Stars): Another who is right on the edge of insane, and thinks he's entitled to winning, and everyone else should give him the money. He cannot accept that HE MADE THE STUPIDEST MISTAKE EVER and lost the game for himself, and has become just about the most bitter person in the universe. Hated him in Africa, but he somehow became even worse in All-Stars.

2. Terry (Exile Island): So, he won a series of immunity challenges that were designed to favour him, found an immunity idol that he never played, and benefitted from other circumstances. That means he survuved from 10th when he was meant to be booted until third. But it's not a big deal, because he never did anything remotely respectable to get there. He made no intelligent moves, which, yes there would have been a risk to giving up his idol, but the reward it could have reaped would have been enormous. He thought he was so much more superior than everyone, and thought he too deserved to win it all. He's a stupid, patronising, condescending, bullying asshole. A totally sore loser, and in his most redeeming moment of all, thinks a parent/child relationship is worthless. What a hero!

1. RUPERT! (Pearl Islands/All-Stars): Right from the word go, I disliked him. When others were finding it amusing that he stole shoes, it was already apparent to me that he really thought he was a pirate. He was a delusional, entitled asshole, who thought the world revolved around him. (MY ISLAND!) Nobody had the right to vote him out, and if they did, they deserved to die. Because that's what we pirates do. Except, this is a game. He was finally, mercifully out, only to be brought back the very next season, and stay even longer. I still wouldn't have hated him that much if he hadn't been pimped so hard by the entire universe, and then HANDED AN UNDESERVED MILLION DOLLARS! Now he's back a third time. Joy.

[couldhavebee]

3. Lex (Africa, All-Stars): Another who is right on the edge of insane, and thinks he's entitled to winning, and everyone else should give him the money. He cannot accept that HE MADE THE STUPIDEST MISTAKE EVER and lost the game for himself, and has become just about the most bitter person in the universe. Hated him in Africa, but he somehow became even worse in All-Stars.

I can't stop laughing....he really is just about the most bitter person in the universe. Perfect description---far more succinct than my own rambling explanation as to why I loathe Lex, but even more on target!

And thanks for reminding me of loathsome Corrinne...I need to edit my list to include her and 'Dreamz.'

On a different note, I almost feel like I need a separate list for Survivors I may not hate quite enough to make it on this list, but who are, IMO of course, just supremely overrated: where the gap between their public perception and/or self-perception and how I actually perceive them as people/players is just so gaping. I feel like that would have been the better list for me to put Amanda, among mothers!

[BK1978]

I held off making a list because I can never articulate why I dislike someone, I just do. Anyways here is my list, it will not come across as well thought out as some of the other lists on here but like I said I find it hard to articulate why I dislike people.

Parvati: I will freely admit that if I was in the game with her and had never watched her play I would probably fall under her spell. I mean what guy would not fall for a good looking woman who flirts with them? That being said, it is not much of a strategy, she was an asshole on her first season, and I think that Cirie and Amanda both did more to get to where they got on her second season. And like Mr. 888 said if find her to be very phony and lazy. And she is a sore loser as well.

Corrine: She was just a very nasty, evil woman and I really have not much else to say about her.

Rocky: He was a bully who was full of himself and very dumb in my opinion.

Ami: She sort of redeemed herself to me in fan vs. favorites but that was because she had no power in that game. She is very much like the female version of Rupert, in that she thought she was entitled to win and was pissed off when people did not bow down to her.

James (China, F vs. F, H vs. V.): I did not mind him much in China. However, his other two seasons have proven that not only is he an idiot (which we saw in China) but he is a very poor sport as well. Also, I love it when he laughs at other people for making mistakes but he has done some pretty dumb stuff himself.

Lisi: This is one of the ones that I can’t articulate why I dislike her so much but I just do. The points that everyone else has made thus far seems to be very well put so yeah I will just agree with those points.

Natalie: Mr. 888 pretty much summed up my feelings for her as well. She to me was very much like Corrine, nasty for the sake of being nasty.

Tyson: This is another guy who I can’t tell if he is being snaky or if he truly is that full of himself. Either way he comes across as being an unlikable asshole.

Sandra: First things first her strategy sucked. Also, she really did nothing to warrant getting into the finals and winning other then having Lil bring her there. She obviously is one of those people who if things don’t go there way they have to do immature things like empty out the fish and what not.

Heidi: She was the annoying sidekick, who thought she didn’t have to do anything because she was “hot” (I don‘t agree about her being hot.). However, at the end of the day I guess she was right because she ending up marrying a World Series MVP.

Alex (Fiji): A smug tool, who thought because he was a lawyer he was smarter than everyone else.

Marcus: See Alex above and substitute Doctor for Lawyer.

Dreamz: This was more for the Yau-Man thing then anything else but he screwed one of my favorite players so that in and of itself is the reason why he makes the list.

Laura (Samoa): I think bluezombie stated pretty much how I felt about her.

Edited by BK1978, Mar 3, 2010 @ 2:40 PM.

[Daydreamer101]

I also have trouble articulating why I dislike someone. For some of them I might just put a moment which I think exemplifies their character and why I don't like them.

I probably won't get to 20 but in no particular order:
Denise (China): She had so many oppurtunities to change the game, didn't even though knew she was fourth and then whined when she was voted out. She also was always feeling sorry of for herself. One moment I remember was when she was trying to convince Amanda not to vote her out by talking about how everyone else would have exciting futures and she wouldn't, basically just previewing the sob story she would sell to the jury if she got her way.

Marcus (Gabon): I was so happy when Crystal, Ken and Susie voted him out. I hated the bland arrogance he personified throughout the show. E.g. his jury speech opening with "as a physician", lecturing Susie about suppposedly being a bad role model. Obviously his idea of being a good role model is is sitting back waiting to be voted out in sixth or seventh spot so he could win.

Andrew (Pearl Islands): Like with Marcus I didn't like his blandly arrogant persona. The moment that puts him on this list is at the reunion when he said Lil couldn't lie in the game because she was in the scouts but Ryan could because he was an electrician.

Russell (Samoa): I couldn't stand his edit, I have never seen anything like it before on this show and that's not a good thing. I found Russell entertaining for two episodes Erik's boot and the Kelly blindside. No coincidence these were the only episodes he seemed to drop the puppet master schtik. Oh, and also the Monica boot episode because it confirmed my suspicion he wasn't going to win. He clearly had issues with women judging by the way he responded to the women vs. the men and I hated the way he treated Natalie in post-show interviews. The defining moment which shows why I dislike him is the breakfast on day 39. He turned what should be a celebratory time into a really uncomfortable situation. It also showed his cockiness since he was once again underestimating the competition.

Sierra (Tocantins): I just found her really annoying and I like to see more fight from underdogs not whining and crying to Coach and Tyson (and calling out Coach for lying didn't cut it for me). But the moment that exemplifies why I don't like her is her jury speech, when she called Stephen "one of the weakest players [she] had ever seen" and Erinn "another weak player." I'll admit my opinion is biased because I really like Stephen and Erinn but she came across as delusional. Also saying JT should go to the end with someone like Tyson. I also didn't like how she came across at the reunion.

Corinne (Gabon): I don't really have anything to say about her the only moment of her's I enjoyed is when she started going on about how Marcus "deserved" to be there and Ken shut her down.

Lex (Africa/All Stars): For the Kelly boot episode in Africa and his hypocrisy in All Stars. There are so many moments that show why I don't like him but the one I'll pick is not his jury speech in All Stars but his words when voting out Ethan: "It's really, really easy to win with grace and dignity, but it's much harder to lose with that same grace and dignity. Let's see how you do."

Ozzy (Cook Islands/Micronesia): I never liked Ozzy not even in the Cook Islands, Jonathan was right when he said Ozzy had entitlement issues but I really grew to dislike him in Micronesia because of his ever growing arrogance and his entitlement was even worse. E.g. of why I don't like him is his jury speech.

Alex (Fiji): This is mainly because of his jury speech. When a jury speech is as bad as his was to Cassandra it's enough to put them in my bottom 20.

Lisi (Fiji): Again I'll use her jury speech as an example of why I don't like her.

Ben (Samoa): In his brief time on the island I disliked him more than Russell - Betsy's boot episode shows why.

Roger (Amazon): Because of his aforementioned bigotry. I did enjoy his boot episode the editing made it no secret he was going home and it made for a fun episode.

[TVGuy]

In making this list, I realized that there are way more players I hated that I would have thought. My original list had almost 35 players, which is sad considering I have to work my up to find the 20 players I liked for the other thread. I cheated a bit and lumped a few people I hated together because they felt like the same entity when I watched them.

I'll work my way down from 'rubbed me the wrong way' territory to 'please, somebody punch this person over and over' territory. I'm going to mention a few who didn't make the cut first.

Dishonorable mention: Peih Gee (stop whining already), Dreamz, Sean and Vecipia (Marquesas), Courtney (Exile Island), Tyson, Debbie (how old are you again?).

Now the real list:

20. Richard (Borneo): I hated him during the first season, but had he played on a later season, I don't think he would have made my list. My hatred stemmed from his sitting in a tree early on and telling his tribemates they should talk about how they were going to formulate a plan on what to do, as opposed to doing something. It reminded me of some of the coroprate weasels I work with. He was also rather smug.

19. Sarge (Vanuatu): Just for his bitter, bitter jury speech. He goes on the list of delusional players who think everyone is obligated to play with "honor", except by honor he means "not voting me out".

18. Ben (Samoa): A racist/sexist who was a complete jerk; thankfully he was voted out early, before my hatred had a chance to grow.

17. Clay (Thailand): Another unlikable racist with an inferiority complex. I still recall his comment at the beginning of the game during the pick'em about how his tribe got a "diamond in the rough". All they got was a jerk who was useless at challenges and unpleasant around camp.

16. Brian (Thailand): Although a great strategist, his smug confessionals really bugged me.

15. Ken (Gabon): he became really annoying as he became more and more convinced that he was some kind of genius mastermind. Much as I hated Sugar, she at least did one good thing in removing Ken from the game.

14. Ozzy (Cook Islands, FvF): He just annoyed me with his attitude of entitlement, especially when he threw an early challenge to boot Billy and gloated about it. He only got worse in FvF.

13. Twila/Scout (Vanuatu): Both were way too sanctimonious for my taste. Their incessant picking on Eliza was just mean and Scout was basically playing for third place the whole game.

12. Heidi/Jenna (Amazon): I didn't mind Jenna in All-Stars, but during this season Heidi and Jenna were the typical sorority mean girl types who think they are better than everyone because of their looks. All the more laughable since I didn't find Heidi attractive. Also want to add I have no respect for players who strip for peanut butter. I like peanut butter, but c'mon! Also seemed like that was basically done so they could get money from Playboy.

11. Lisi/Rocky (Fiji): Lisi seemed like the type of girl you would find passed out at a frat party, half-naked and in a pool of barf. She was mean, classless, incredibly stupid, and basically quit the game. It didn't help that she was in an alliance of douches. Rocky was the male version of Lisi, the only real difference was that he was more belligerent and loud.

Due to the post limit, I'll do the rest in a separate post.

The top 10:

10. Alex (Fiji): He was part of not only one alliances of douches, but two of them. It was as if he would pick the most horrible and objectionable people and turn them into an alliance of suck. Aside from that, he was arrogant and delusional, and came up with one of the stupidest alliance names ever. You don't NAME your alliances, people.

9. Rupert (every damn season): This giant blowhard is like a cartoon character - he even wears the same exact shirt all the time. Hey Rupert, you've gotten over a million dollars from Burnett - dude, BUY A NEW FREAKING SHIRT, already. He gets extra hate points because I have to see him for a third time and because Burnett and America keep giving him money. He would be higher on my list if I didn't feel like he was probably a good person who is simply clueless and insecure.

8. Coach (Tocantins): He got way too much airtime during his season, and at times it seemed to be all about him. But mostly he earns my hate for being utterly delusional, yelling at Erinn for no reason, and browbeating Sierra over and over to the point of making her cry. The fact that he was paired with the unpleasant Tyson and Debbie didn't help. He also gets bonus hate points for naming his alliance. He's not as bad in HvV, which is why he isn't higher on my list.

7. James: I didn't hate him the first time, or even the second, but at this point I'm utterly sick of him. He's a loud obnoxious bully who doesn't know how to play the game. And it certainly seems like he hates any woman who doesn't meekly agree with him like Amanda. Which is still slightly better than my #5 most hated.

6. Parvati (every damn season): Her fake smile, constant flirting, and references to herself as a "little girl" just bug me intensely. I'm not even sure I can put into words why I dislike her so much - my best effort at quantifying would be to say she is just plain fake.

5. Nathalie (FvF): I think Mr. 888 said it best with her. I can't stand people who feel like they can only make themselves feel better by denigrating the opposite sex. She was vicious for no reason, and took pleasure in hurting others and then gloating about how stupid they were. It says something that I hate her more than Parvati, and I only had to suffer through her once.

4. Lex (Africa, ASS): I didn't even like him the first time around when he kept talking about his gut and booted one of my favorites in Kelly G. for no reason. But he truly outdid himself in ASS with his endless vitriol and embarassing jury speech. The mohawk and countless tattoos didn't help.

3. "Sugar" (Gabon): A vapid airhead who had no interest in actually playing the game. Her initial strategy was to glom onto a guy for "protection"; fine, but around mid-game she just voted with whomever she thought "deserved" to win, and still the rest of the players never thought to get rid of her. By the end of the game, she ruined all semblance of strategy and we were left with clueless Bob as the winner. I would rate her worse than 3rd, but the two above her are such jerks I can't bring myself to do it.

2. John Dalton (Pearl Islands): Another arrogant jerk, he attempted to bring the WWF into the game of Survivor. I'll admit he used decent strategy, but he seemed to be on the show for no reason other than to get camera time. Also, anyone who gives himself or herself a nickname earns a large number of hate points right off the bat.

1. Russell: He combines almost every single quality I hate in a Survivor player. Insecure misogynist? Check. Highly overrated? Check. Pushed down our throat by editors? Check. Mean and nasty, even to his own alliance? Check. Arrogant? Double-check. I could go on and on. The most laughable thing is that he wears a hat all the time because he is embarassed about being bald. Hey Russell - that is at the very bottom of the things you should be embarassed about. Even with a full head of hair, you could have saved the Lord of the Rings staff some money on animation.

Normally he wouldn't have been bad enough to get on the list, but he got far too much airtime, and it got to the point where I couldn't even stand to look at him or listen to him no matter what he was doing or saying.

bluezombie, this is a perfect description of how I feel about most of the players at the top of my list. I don't even want to hear them speak, ever, on any topic.

[bluezombie2]

4. Shii Ann (Thailand/All-Stars): Another person who is just so completely over-rated. She's supposed to be this great strategist, but her 'big move' in Thailand saw her voted out in 10th (and was only going to get her to sixth anyway.) Then in All-Stars, she never stood a chance of winning and she went along with Lex's idiot plan to vote out Jerri, effectively losing the game for their entire team. That's not a smart strategist at all, in fact, through that entire season, she was merely a follower. Along with that, she's a totally useless whiner. And a bitch. She also has a stupid nickname for herself. I cannot stand her.

So, I'm currently rewatching All-Stars, and I have to re-evaluate my list. Because I had Shii Ann in fourth and Rupert on top of my list, but watching this season I despise Shii Ann so very much. She's a smug, snotty, superior bitch who is completely deluded about everything. She never had a single original thought, idea or plan throughout the entire game. If it came down to it, I'd rather for Rupert to win the game than Shii Ann. She is just so unbelievably full of herself, and yet she's so completely inadequate in every single aspect of the game. Lazy around camp, completely useless in every type of challenge (beaten by Rob in puzzle challenges, her supposed specialty,) horrible and ineffective at any kind of strategy, and socially inept because she's so completely obnoxious that nobody would ever want to align with her. Kathy and Lex were willing to sell her out, Jerri and Jenna loathed her, and nobody else seemed particularly fond of her either. Tom said it best when he said she'd try for an alliance with a bush, but Miss Alli said it even better in the recap when she said that Shii Ann would expect the bush to come to her with the strategy worked out. HATE!

[Bix Bender]

My list will not include staples like Russell and Jon Dalton - rather than disliking them, I enjoyed watching them for their gameplay and forward-thinking (vis a vis the grandmother lie and the HII magnet) So here goes:




12. Lisi - She was obnoxious, smug, and not all that bright. Her Jury question was kind of racist too, if I remember correctly

11. Osten - No one likes a quitter. And I'm looking at you, too, Janu

10. Sue Hawk - The Rats/Snakes speech, when it when down, left me dumbfounded. How could someone be that bitter? Her appearance on all-stars, I'm inclined to give a free pass, but it certainly didn't redeem her in my eyes

9. Alicia - I might be the only one who took Kimmi's side in the finger-waving fight. I always thought Alicia had no strategic game whatsoever, and wasn't particularly likeable

8. Lex - same reasons as previously mentioned. And in Africa, he behaved like a maniac, listening to his gut.

7. Ghandia - The grinding incident was blown way out of proportion, and her personality was a little hard to stomach

6. Joanna (Amazon) - Who else in the history of the show has professed to hate the immunity idol for religious reasons? She also kept everyone awake

5. Jenna (Amazon) A lousy winner. I could care less about nudity, but when she cried her way to a letter from home, because she spent her money on food at the auction...I was like "What the hell, show? Don't reward her for that!"

4. Dreamz - His betrayal of YauMan transcends the game in some way. Sure, he has every right to reneg on the deal, but I think he should have returned the truck.

3. Courtney - The ultimate airhead. Not that Shane was much better. IIRC, she was completely predictable and never changed up the game at all, though she could have.

2. Corinne - Just a hateful, over-the-top sort. No need to attack Sugar the way she did

1. James - Over-rated bully.

[Adubz]

I'm not going to rehash most of what has already been said, though I believe that a special place is being reserved in hell for the likes of Lisi. I will only list here the horrible people who have not yet been mentioned.

Adam (Cook Islands). Probably my most hated player of all time. Stupid oaf, check. Um, yeah a shelter needs a floor. On top of that he was an arrogant tool who did not deserve fifth place by any means.

Katie (Palau). There was no reason to treat people the way that she did.

Candice (Cook Islands, HVV). For the life of me, I can't figure out why she is considered a hero. She mutinied to keep the white people together. And then got all whiny and weepy when the people she backstabbed kept sending her to exile.

Lindsey (Africa). Her voice was nails on my chalkboard

Chet (FvF). I wanted to feel bad for how he was treated, but he did nothing to redeem himself at any point.

Jean Robert (China) Something definitely creepy about him

Keith (Australia). Pompous is never a flattering trait.

And an honorable mention goes to everyone who had a stupid nickname in Fiji. Boo, Dreamz, Mookie, Rocky, am I missing anyone?

[Mr. 888]

Mookie was his real name. Blame his parents for that decision.

[Oholibamah]

I think Lisi was a nickname for Lisette, and didn't they call Gary Papa Smurf?

Gosh, I hated Fiji!

[BK1978]

I hated Fiji as well. However, three of my favortie players of all time were on that season (Yau-Man, Earl, and Michelle).

[Constantinople]

Hard to limit it to just 20. In the last 3 season I have 15

JT (mostly for HvV) - Misogynist jerk wraped in ersatz "Southern Charm". I prefer my assholes straight, no chaser. Plus he had no problem voting out Taj, but couldn't bring himself to write Coach's name down.

Russell H (Samoa) - In part I blame the editors for overexposing his ass, but he's still a blowhard who treats people with contempt. Mostly I hate him because most of the time he's boring, yet ever since Episode 1 of Samoa, Survior has been Russell H 24/7.

Ben (Samoa) - Usually, I don't include pre-merge bootees for this sort of thing, but I'll make an exception for this racist, sexist asshole (and now that I think about it, wasn't he kicked out of the challenge after fouling Russell S?).

Shambo (Samoa) - She seemed to get better as time went on, but her martyr complex drove me crazy

Erik (Samoa) - For his hypocritical lecture to Mick about not valuing leadership during Eriks' Juror question; but Erik's the one who staged a mock election to annoit Shambo as the new Galu leader.

Dave Ball (Samoa) - Arrogant asshole who seemed to think he knew everything because of his allegedly high IQ score. Dismissed the idea out of hand that Russell couldn't have found another HII based on noting more than his own superior attitude.

Laura (Samoa) - As time fades, I'll probably dislike her less since in many ways she was a generic stock type of character. But I hate her for making me feel sorry for Shambo.

Tyson - Mostly for Tocantins due his shitty treatment of Erinn, Sierra and generally anyone who wasn't on his list of approved humans. Also for his arrogance, specifically his idiot vote against Parvati in HvV that got himself booted.

Coach (Tocantins) - He's mellowed in HvV it seems (or gotten a better edit), but he was a misogynistic, delusional asshole in Tocantins.

Sierra (Tocantins) - Hate her for comments to Stephen at FTC about being a coat tail rider and for her comment about "Slaying the Dragon" at the reunion. I hate her even more for making me think that maybe she partly deserved to be treated the way Coach & Tyson treated her.

Ace (Gabon) - No one likes wannabee Eurotrash, especially with a fake accent.

Marcus (Gabon) - Thought he was the second coming. Fortunately, Suzie, Kenny & Crystal crucified him.

Charlie (Gabon) - At least whores get paid; what's his excuse?

Randy (Gabon) - Racist, sexist misanthrope.

Corrine (Gabon) - Perhaps the most vile person ever to play Survivor. Fairplay only lied about a dead grandmother to win a reward challenge. This bitch is proud of herself for trying to mislead doctors into recommending ineffective pharmaceuticals.

[lovemytvshows]

Here's my list. No particular order cause that'll take me forever to sort them out. Apologies in advance if I come off as extremely vile with some of the comments:

Sierra - I couldn't stand her constant whining and attitude. Get off my screen already! I don't blame Tyson for constantly picking on her because girl deserved it and so much more. She needs to be bound and gagged and shoved into the back of a car.

Corinne - Plenty of great reasoning has been put forward already. Crazy woman who relished in being in the spotlight, regardless of the circumstances.

Ozzy - Kinda sad to say that I absolutely loved Ozzy and was hoping that he'd win Cook Islands but seriously what the f*** happened to him in Micronesia? He was an absolute jackass! Pffft! Did he really think that everyone was just going to sit back and let him call the shots?

Alex - From Fiji. I generally hated that season but his jury speech was one that absolutely baffled me and made him look like a ginormous retard in front of everyone. Well done asshole!

Russell Hantz - Smarmy, overly hyped (thanks a lot, editors!), screen hogging, overconfident, the list goes on...so glad to see Parvati pull a fast one over him. I love Parvati that much and every brilliant move that she makes so she's not going to be on my list of hate.

Sue Hawk - Who could forget her infamous "Rats & Snakes" speech? That and the shit she pulled in All-Stars.

Tammy/Zoe - Tie for Marquesas. Part of the Rotu 4. Nuff' said.

Cast of Thailand esp. Clay and Brian - Worst season ever because of the cast.

Lil - Pearl Islands. She wore that scouts outfit or whatever. How she even made it to the final 2 blows my mind. Annoying as all hell. Thank god Sandra won!

Twila - Absolutely hated Twila in Vanuatu and I still do. Not the worst season for me but comes in 2nd place.

Judd/Jamie/Gary - Another tie for Guatemala. Bunch of chuckleheads these 3.

Terry - Exile Island season. You have a frickin hidden immunity idol, use it! And arguing with Jiffy Pop over the rules of a particular challenge that he eventually lost to Aras..."Somebody call the Whaaambulance, Terry's crying on the course!"

Cast of Fiji, maybe aside from Yau Man - 3rd place for me in terms of worst seasons

Denise - For her lunchlady/janitor schtick that made headlines and the fact that had this immense amount of self-pity throughout the season which really put me off.

Shambo - Delusional. Her nickname should probably have already given that away.

Ken - Thought he was so smart in the Gabon season. Nice to see him fall. Another season I hated as well.

Rupert - One man self-promotion machine. No one cares Rupert. The whole pirate persona started to get really really old after Pearl Islands.

James - Like Tom said, "All mass, no class." He really bothered me with the fact that he could not articulate things properly. Was nothing but a big bully and this is the guy who Jiffy Pop lurrves...goes to show

JT - Never saw his appeal in the Tocantins season. Stephen/Erinn should've won. Slack-jawed hick farmer masquerading as some kind strategic mastermind. That shit doesn't fly as was obvious in Zeroes vs. Villains.

Coach - I don't know if he's truly delusional or spinning some enormously tall tales but his screen hogging really got to me in Tocantins. Would like to have seen a little bit more of the other folk (i.e. Erinn) whose screen time he robbed.

[cristixcore]

I would like to add the majority of the Palau cast. After buying the dvd and watching it, this season has quickly become my least favorite. It was physically difficult to watch. I'll blame the casting. Here's the ones that stick out:

Jenn and Kim were both aiming for a showmance with Jeff and Gregg. There was already a Rob and Amber. Did they seriously think it would work again?

Katie (and most of the girls for that matter) were a waste of space and didn't do crap. And I personally don't like the way she treated people. You're stuck on an island 24 hours a day with them, you may as well be civil and avoid antagonizing them constantly.

Ibrahem failed miserably at every challenge despite being a giant muscle. And I'm pissed he was magically given immunity by Koror and caused Angie to be voted out.

Bobby Jon was a workhorse but he didn't have the smarts to back it up. I wish he had stepped up as tribe leader or something.

Wanda.... whoever decides to sing in the first 5 minutes of the show deserves to leave ASAP. I wasn't even sad when she was "voted" out and sang as the boat sailed away, I was cringing.

James had the amazing impenetrable knot that Koror figured out in 5 minutes, and that crummy bathroom. Oh and his voice was almost as annoying as Rupert's.

Ian made SOOOO many strategic mistakes, like irrationally falling in love with Katie even though she stabbed him in the back. IDIOT!!!

[paganstar]

Here's my two cents.

20. Roger (Amazon): Big jerk and big deal.

19. Matthew (Amazon) :Maybe I was the only one but he came off as creepy serial killer by the end of that season.

18. Ted (Thailand): The first player to get so obnoxious so damn early.

17. Kelly (Borneo): Got to the end on coattails and was very blah to boot.

16. Jerri (Australia, FvF, HvV): The mean girl schtick got old REALLY quick.

15. Coach (Tocantins, HvV): Was not as cool as he thought he was.

14. Judd (Guatemala): Should have joined Howlie in the forest canopy - their IQ was about the same.

13. Joanna (Amazon): Check the cuckoo religious beliefs at the door.

12. Cassandra (Fiji): Got to top 3 by doing nothing.

11. Randy (Gabon, HvV): Too bitter even for this game.

10. Andrew/Lil (Pearl Islands) these two tied because they were equally annoying - they deserved each other.

9. Burton (Pearl Islands) Swarmy annoying idiot w no game play.

8. Denise (China): Ms. Whine 2008, nuff said.

7. Sugar (Gabon): Never a more useless player of the game.

6. Dreamz (Fiji): More like a Freddie Kruger nightmare you couldn't wake up from.

5. Scout (Vanuatu): Brought the crazy and not in a good way.

4. Terry (Exile): Didnt want to use the idol and wound up not mattering.

3. Shannon (Nicaragua): Racist, stupid and full of himself.

2. Frank (Africa): Early version of Randy with a lot of Shannon's problems.

1. Russell (Samoa, HvV):

He combines almost every single quality I hate in a Survivor player. Insecure misogynist? Check. Highly overrated? Check. Pushed down our throat by editors? Check. Mean and nasty, even to his own alliance? Check. Arrogant? Double-check. I could go on and on

My sentiments, exactly.

[Blue Stingray]

1. Corrine - absolutely vile, loathesome excuse for a human who enjoyed being cruel and thought it made her entertaining. I referred to her as C-Word throughout her season.

2. NaOnka - Up there with Corrine as one of the most reprehensible creatures ever to (dis)grace my TV screen. If she was my child's teacher, I'd pull my kid out of that school.

3. Russell - I do get why people found him entertaining, but I didn't love to hate him. I just hated to see him on my screen week after freaking week.

4. Tom Weston - I'm going to take a lot of heat for this, but throughout his season I never understood what all the Tom fans saw. I found him both arrogant and boring. Then I was disgusted watching him bully Ian into handing him the million dollars on a silver platter. And he made the Heroes tribe?

5. Jenna Morasca - I almost left her off the list because I do give her credit for standing by Ethan through his sickness, and I even got misty eyed when she left All Stars to be with her mother. Then I remember the smug little bitch who constantly referred to herself and the rest of the Axis of Skeevil as "the cute girls", didn't do a lick of work, and won because everyone was too creeped out by Matthew to vote for him, and I just had to include her.

6. Heidi - Being Jenna's BFF alone was enough to get the self-proclaimed "mastermind" of the Amazon on this list. Vile for all the same reasons as Jenna. And though she based her whole gameplay on her self-perceived hotness, that skeletal (except for the store bought boobs) body in a bikini? Shudder. And another teacher, which disturbs me.

7. Richard Hatch - respect the gameplay, do not respect the person. He was annoying on the premiere season, then his huge ego turned him into a cartoon version of himself that only he found amusing. We won't even go into his personal life with his tax evasion and bullying his kid.

8. Shannon - Loathesome homophobic sexist creep who dubbed himself an alpha male... and yet I can't recall any particularly spectacular challenge performances. Talked himself right out of the game at tribal.

9. Big Tom - I didn't find him "entertaining" as much as I found him "dumb", "ignorant" and "annoying". His mocking of Susan (who I am not overly fond of either) after she was traumatized by Hatch into leaving the show was revolting.

10. Randy - You know they're unlikeable when the producers don't even bother trying to make the tribal council suspenseful, because they're as gleeful as everyone else that he was the butt of one of the best jokes/blindsides ever seen on Survivor.

11. Courtney - Another one I'm probably going to be stoned in the village square for. She immediately grated on me her first five minutes on camera with her disrespectful eye-rolling during the natives' welcoming ceremony, in their house of worship. Not cool. I found her snark more annoying than entertaining.

12. JT - didn't buy the Good Ol' Southern Boy bit at all. Sexist moron. Parvati would have made this list if not for her awesome reaction to his love letter to Russell.

13. Candice - didn't get her being brought back as a hero at ALL. She screwed over her tribe (well, she would have, had they not been made of awesome and come from behind to squash her) and then cried about how unfair it was when she was repeatedly sent to Exile.

14. James - completely overrated and got increasingly more obnoxious. "One voice! One voice!" Shut up, James.

15. Silas - arrogant prick who expected the ones outside of his alliance to accept defeat and be happy that he and his clique were destined to go to the end. Definitely one of the most satisfying boots.

16. Burton - sanctimonious prick who thought he had the game in his back pocket. While his boot was one of the most satisfying, his "I hope you can live with yourself, Lil" exit speech was an eye roller.

17. John Robert - sexist jerk who refered to himself in the third person. No. Just, no.

18. Scout - Useless and a nasty bully.

19. Ace - Annoying poseur.

20. Vecepia - OK, I don't really dislike her so much as dislike the fact that she basically invented the "flying under the radar" strategy that has resulted in way too many boring and undeserving winners. Sure, it's worked, but it's no fun to watch.

[JayKwik]

1) Vecepia - I don't even know how to begin. I dislike her much as a person as I do a Survivor. She's the epitome of a hypocritical, delusional bible-thumper. I find her personality to be disgusting and she continues to be my least-favorite, and in my opinion least-deserving, winner to date. Her gameplay was absolutely horrific and there were 4-5 people that played better games on her season. Thank GOD the producers didn't see any appeal in her to invite her back for subsequent seasons because I would absolutely not watch.

2) "Crybaby" Ken (Gabon) - Alright, I'll admit that I'm a little biased, but I was at the Major League Gaming event where this kid got crowned with the nickname "Crybaby" but I was amused at his arc on Survivor. He whines incessantly, he probably did it about 10x as much as the show could even show. I found his comment "I'm not the typical gamer" to be hilarious because he is the carbon-fucking-copy of a gamer.

3) Chrystal (Gabon) - Watching this incredibly socially awkward buffoon make it 30+ days was agonizing. She could easily be 2nd and maybe even 1st on my list. She's so socially inept it's embarassing.

4) Laura (Samoa) - Another delusional bible-thumper. I'm no fan of Russell but when this moron told him that she was "holding all the cards" and she refused his offer, I laughed. She never saw it coming. She actually thought she "dominated the challenges" because she won a T-ball challenge and a puzzle against Shambo. Clueless.

5) Tyson - I just don't think he's entertaining or that he's funny at all, he's just annoying and kind of an idiot. He voted himself out of an "all-star" season. He's completely moronic.

6) Susie (Gabon) - I hate seeing worthless people making the FTC, it annoys me. She was a non-entity in challenges, and she's just another example of someone that has no idea how to play this game that just reverts back to "I'm just going to work around camp." Sitting around and waiting for the alliance in power to tell you who to vote for is embarrassing gameplay. She decides to make a move because people that she showed no loyalty to decide NOT to promise her a guaranteed spot at the FTC.

7) Russell Hantz - He has such a strange personality and the producers of this show really made a person that's really just annoying into an INTOLERABLE person.

8) Jamie (China) - She's an idiot. Just another example of someone that goes on Survivor and thinks making friends is going to be the ticket to the million. She plays a fake idol like a moron, and then whines that they "can't trust James" when she threw a challenge to try to eliminate him.

9) Neigh-Oinky - She's a plant, I get it, but she's delusional and beyond annoying.

10) Sherea (China) - I can't stand it when people lay around and do nothing and think they'll "conserve their energy for the challenges" and somehow that will make the difference. She lounged around and argued with half of their tribe, and they didn't hardly win any challenges at all. And people shouldn't praise her for her challenge ability, she went up against Courtney, Leslie, and Denise from Feih-long.

11) Judd (Guatemala) - Had a terrible attitude and no strategy.

12) Jane (Nicaragua) - She's a sociopath. She's received one of the most "redeeming" edits in the history of this show and even that won't save her as far as I'm concerned. I literally despise her.

13) Parvati - I respect her greatly for her game ability because she's come a long way and is one of the best in the history of the show, but her personality just grates.

14) Katie (Palau) - Despicable attitude, embarrassing and challenges, and useless around camp. Oh, and maybe the worst FTC performance ever.

15) Aras (Exile Island) - He is such an entitled prick. Had here been a Penner or Yul on Exile Island, they would have seen right through this little brat. His condescending attitude towards Terry was obnoxious. He's an average player that's a million dollars richer because he was surrounded by golden goats.

16) Sugar (Gabon) - This game doesn't have much credibility left, but when people make it on and have seemingly no interest in either playing OR winning the game, it devalues it even more. She was clearly there for the publicity.

17) Lydia (Guatemala) - She's worthless in challenges and had no real strategy either. I dislike her for many of the same reasons that I dislike Susie, because I greatly dislike people that try out to Survivor and just revert back to the early-season niche of "working around camp" and try to make that their strategy. It's boring, and I find it obnoxious that these are the people that last because they make golden goats for better players.

18) Sue Hawk - She took this game and the incident that caused her to quit ASS far too seriously. I never got the impression that anyone that returned for ASS was just doing it for publicity, but she clearly has some anterior motives. Her personality is just atrocious.

19) Natalie (FvF) - She was just too socially awkward for my taste.

20) Alex (Fiji) - He's just a cocky prick. There's no specific reason why I dislike him outside of just his general bad attitude. Searching Yau-Man's bag and then threatening hime was pretty low, though.

[Oholibamah]

17. Kelly (Borneo): Got to the end on coattails and was very blah to boot.

Isn't she partially credited for the inception of the first alliance? She also did a decent amount of maneuvering in the beginning, working with Stacy/Sue, followed by Rudy/Rich/Sue. At the endgame she became a free agent, voted against Sean/against her alliance at every Tribal and got to the end with a string of Immunities and almost beat Rich with the Pagong votes.

I won't argue with "blah", but the nature of "alliance" means people work together to continue their advancement - before Jenna's boot, Kelly was no more of a "coattail rider" than Sue, Rich or Rudy (who were all piggybacking off each other's vote), and became even less so when she fought her way to FTC on her own two feet.

[Mr. 888]

Welp, I'm easily bumping off Parvati off my Bottom 20 (especially after her S20 performance) and adding Naonka.

Naonka- she just doesn't get it, does she? She's just off in her own egocentric world where she thinks she shouldn't be held accountable for the things she's said and done. She's a horrible person who would have otherwise been remembered as a horrible quitter. What happened with Kelly B's leg was only the beginning. Stealing the food was just as bad, if not worse. Then there were moments where she showed genuine weakness, and... proceeded to learn nothing from it. She went on a reward challenge only to quit immediately afterwards, cementing her status as an entitled bitch. I wanted to put her in the Bottom Twenty after only a few episodes, but waited until the season was over. And as the reunion confirms, she's still absolutely clueless and embarassing to watch.

[orangepenguin]

Greg Buis (Borneo)
Greg was probably my least favorite player in the first season. I know we were supposed to think he was funny and whatnot, but I couldn't simply stand Greg. He tried too hard to be different and weird, and he just annoyed me.

Colby Donaldson (Australia, etc.)
I don't dislike Colby nearly as much as the other people on the list. But Colby just would annoy the hell out of me whenever he appeared on my screen. I thought he was overrated. I thought he was entitled and condescending, especially towards Jerri of all people. I don't like he acts like he is such a good guy. I mean, he is probably. I just don't want that thrown in my face constantly.

Robb Zbacnik (Thailand)
Robb (two Bs guys! two Bs!) was the absolute worst contestant in one of the worst seasons. Luckily, he didn't last too long, but he was just an immature hot-headed jerk.

Clay Jordan (Thailand)
Unlike Robb, he did last long, so my hate shifted towards him. Clay was just a creepy, mean old man. He didn't deserve to go to the final two (Jan or Helen did!) and it was frustrating to see him constantly on my screen.

Rupert Boneham (Pearls Islands, etc.)
Rupert is so overrated. He is a hypocrite, he is just.. well, others have explained it probably better than I could. I'll just leave it like this.

Rory Freeman (Vanuatu)
Rory constantly wined about everything and like Chris (see below) he deserved to be one of the first boots. I just couldn't stand him.

Twila Tanner (Vanuatu)
Twila was just a grouchy old woman. I don't dislike her because she swore on her child - I was actually on her side in that whole issue. But the way she and Scout treated the younger girls just bugged me, especially poor Eliza. I would've preferred a Twila win over Chris, but she sucked at the FTC and so whatever..

Chris Daugherty (Vanuatu)
Chris is definitely my least favorite winner (I think he's the only winner on the list actually?), but I do think he deserved it. I just don't like the fact that he did win. I thought he should've been the first boot, over that young guy, and when he kept staying and staying, it pissed me off. And then he ended up in the final 2. Wow. Chris was such a scum bag, as Judd would say, and I hated that he got to pocket a million dollars. Bleh.

James Miller (Palau)
James' confessionals were funny, sure. But James was just an idiot, he led the worst tribe in Survivor history, he was cocky and arrogant, and I'm so glad he didn't make it that far. I ain't lyin.

Rafe Judkins (Guatemala)
Rafe was such a bad player. He was just lucky he made the right alliance with the right people who were able to carry him so far along. Rafe constantly irritated me and I was so happy to see him basically shoot himself in the foot and basically eliminate himself to give Steph a shot.

Terry Deitz (Exile Island)
I think we the viewers were supposed to be fans of Terry, but for me, I couldn't stand Terry. He was cocky (deservingly so, I suppose), selfish, and was just arrogant.

Mookie Lee (Fiji)
I know everyone dislikes the other people in this alliance, but I disagree. Edgardo was charming and funny, Rocky was a jerk, but fun to watch, Alex too himself too seriously, and it was funny. But Mookie I couldn't stand, and was the sole reason I rooted against the 4 Horsemen Alliance.

Jean-Robert Bellande (China)
China was my first whole season I watched, and Jean-Robert was the first villain I was exposed to. Jean-Robert was an ass, I didn't like him one bit, and as much as I like villains typically (Corinne, NaOnka, Jerri, Rahb, Russelll), I couldn't tolerate Jean-Robert.

James Clement (China, etc.)
James wasn't so bad in the first season. I wasn't a fan, but I didn't dislike him either. He was just there, until he made a stupid move. For some reason, being a stupid player makes America love you and he became fan favorite over likable people. That's where my hate began. He was then brought back for a second season. Uhhh...okay? Whatever. It was a Favorite season and he was the most recent Fan Favorite.. it made sense. I could handle that. I was so glad he was medi-vacced though. But then a third time?!?! He sucked at his first game, sucked slightly less, but still sucked at his second game. So a third chance? And in the third chance, his true colors showed, so karma is a bitch.

Denise Martin (China)
Whine, whine, whine, etc. I don't really need to explain, do I?


Ken Hoang & Crystal Cox (Gabon)
Everyone hated the Onion alliance, which I didn't realize until I read the TWoP posts (people accused me of being Corinne herself, lol) and was surprised to see that everyone were fans for Ken and Crystal. I couldn't stand either of them, even though they were my pre-show favorites. Crystal was an Olympian, but sucked at challenges. Ken was a sneaky rat - I didn't like the way he treated Bob. Glad they both got what they deserved, even though I don't think they deserved the cold shoulder.

Tyson Apostal & Coach (Tocantins, etc.)
Tyson is one of my least favorite players ever. And not in the love the hate way you hate some people (Russell). He was just a freak, he was an ass, and I just couldn't stand him. Like everyone else in the world, I hated Couch, or Douche as we called him, and couldn't tolerate him. In his second showing though, I kind of warmed up to Coach, just because he was powerless and more of a joke.

Russell Swan (Samoa)
As everyone hated troll Rusell, I hated dreadlocks Russell. I couldn't stand him, he was my least favorite player, even over the bitchy Laura, and I wasn't that affected the way I should've been when he fainted. I wanted to.. I just didn't. That's how much he sucked.
Laura Morett (Samoa)
Laura was just a bitch. She wasn't even a bitch in a villain way that was fun to watch, like Sandra or Corinne. She was just a bitch. And I couldn't stand to listen to her, nor her Christian ways.

Shannon Elkins (Nicaragua)
Shannon was a immature meat-head. He is also an irrational homophobe. I can't stand him and he needs to lay off the steroids.

Dan Lembo (Nicaragua)
Dan is the epitome of my least favorite player. As much as the other people on the list were intolerable, most of them did things that made their presence warranted. Dan was just there. He was worthless in every challenge, he was worthless around game, he had no strategic game, he didn't do anything. He never had any wit, had no play, and thank god he didn't last. Dan and his stupid boots had no right to be on Survivor and I hated how he lasted so long.
