User blog:CrimsonRedGhoul/Top 10 Worst Classic Survivor Players

Ladies and gentlemen, these are my rankings for the Top 10 Worst Classic Survivor Players. Just as a clarification, I'm listing "classic" Survivor players as those who competed between Survivor Borneo and Micronesia. I will be ranking them by how poorly they were able to "Outwit, Outplay, or Outlast". Mostly Outlast. Don't expect too many jurors to make it here in that case.

Oh yeah, this may be a bit weird, but no returnees. At least in this era of Survivor, returnees were considered best of the best. I certainly think all the returnees in this era had a lot in them. No reason to place them here. You're excused Jonny Fairplay. Enough messing around, let's get to the list.

10. Jean-Robert Bellande

Good TV, but bad player. I would've put Dave in his place, but what differentiates them is that JR is lazy and even more frustrating towards others. It's astounding he got as far as he did.

9. Shawn Cohen

Socially, this guy was a wreck. Early on he didn't settle well as a leader, and then later he continues to baffle me with his laziness and lack of work ethic. Not to mention an almost hilarious feud with Jon. Was this really the Shawn we saw on the first few days?

8. Rocky Reid

Rocky was a bully. Plain and simple. Never hid his feelings towards Anthony and was an egotistical pain in the ass for the most part. Redeeming qualities? Well...his final words were hilarious.

7. Diane Ogden

Diane just did not know her shit. There was that whole beans incident (which is also partly on the blame of Clarence), and there was being a huge weak link. Sorry Diane, but this game is not for you.

6. Chicken Morris

One word: DAMN!!! Well, in all seriousness, Chicken was a really bad socializer and seemed to be ridiculously indecisive about what he wanted to do. Be a major idealist, or have no opinion at all? Either way, he wasn't a joy around camp.

5. Osten Taylor

Let it be known that quitters are highly frowned upon in just about any competition. Osten has the distinction of being the very first quitter in Survivor. It's surprising how someone looking as big and strong as him would be so unfit for any of the given circumstances. I almost felt bad watching him. Almost.

4. Roger Sexton

Sexist AND homophobic? Perfect mix, isn't it? Obviously just those labels alone wouldn't go down well in a TV setting, especially not in today's climate. But what seems to get me is how much of a chauvinist Roger came off as on TOP of all that. What a mess!

3. Jed Hildebrand

Thailand was renowned for its excellent cast, or its lack of per say. Jed wasn't my least favorite, but the guy clearly didn't get the whole surviving portion of the game. If we could give an award for Laziest Castaway, Colton might just get a break, because boy did Jed know a thing or two about laziness!

2. Chet Welch

Everyone knows Chet at this point. Poor sport, bad at socializing, never strategize, asked to be voted off over a small injury. You get the idea. I was shocked he even got to the swap. Thanks Joel.

Some dishonorable mentions: '''Kel Gleason Debb Eaton Daniel Lue Michelle Tesauro Dirk Been Anthony Robinson'''

1. John Raymond

Hoo boy...first boots are usually not talked about with much light, and being first out is typically an indication that you are not fit for this. John, or moreso his personality, was definitely not fit for this. As seen with Hunter in the season before him, early establishment as a leader doesn't typically go down too well if you can't lead people your way. But then John took a needless step backwards with his..."prank". John just made too many early mistakes as compared to other first boots (even Chicken!), and in my eyes, this makes him the most bottom tier of old school Survivor.

I don't really expect you to agree with this list. Anyways, see you another time.
