User blog:Sprinklemist/Survivor: One World Rankings

I saw the first episode, and actually enjoyed it pretty well. I got some good ideas of who I like and who I don't, so I wanna rank the cast.


 * 1) Christina Cha. To me, at first, she was just alright, but the fact that she was able to strike a deal with the male tribe, when the rest of her team had been trying was impressive. Alicia getting all mad about it made little sense, since it benefited their team, and other people from her team had been trying to strike a deal to get fire. Also, her line at tribal to Alicia was hilarious. "You're wrong, so shut up!"
 * 2) Sabrina. Sabrina was pretty epic. I liked her a lot, and she's the first black girl in a little while to actually get along with her team. She's on the smart side, finding the clue instantly. Survivor should just quit having clues for immunity idols, though. Where they hide them has been so obvious, lately, that it doesn't matter. People find them, anyway. I also like that Sab is in good with her team's alliance.
 * 3) Nina. Nina's lip, ftw! The highlight of the episode, for me.
 * 4) Chelsea. She's the one that caught the two chickens. I don't usually love the country girls, but she proved herself in a pretty major way. I also liked that she tried to bargain with the guys, even though her attempts failed.
 * 5) Kat seemed pretty sweet, and funny. I loved the part where she didn't understand what ambiance was. Haha. XD
 * 6) Kourtney. Aw. I felt bad for her, especially since she had an epic hat. She also seemed to have a good, positive attitude. At least she probably would have been an early out, anyway, not really clicking with the other girls.
 * 7) Kim. I remember liking Kim for some reason, but I don't remember why.
 * 8) Monica. I remember liking some part with her in it, but I'm not sure what. It was pretty epic when her and Christina tried to get fire from the guys... Not that I condone stealing. Stay in school, kids.
 * 9) Jonas. The guy is pretty cool. I like his general personality, though he didn't really stand out, for any real reason.
 * 10) Leif. He's okay. He's one of those 'all we know about him is what others say about him' contestants. That's not usually a good sign when it comes to placement. We usually get to know a little about winners, even really early on.
 * 11) Alicia. My least favorite girl, but I still like her better than the majority of the guys. The girls win in personality this season, which is pretty much a first. Her logic makes almost no sense. Christina helped the team, but it was horrible when she tried to make a deal with the guys, but not for Chelsea to? *shakes head in disapproval* She's also pretty obnoxious. She made fun of Kourtney over how she fell in the challenge, but she did the same thing. I will admit that Jeff was hardly helpful when he explained how to land consistently after people jumped. Good timing, bro. >_>
 * 12) Greg/Tarzan. He's alright. Not my typical kind of contestant, but he seems nice enough.
 * 13) Colton. He's meh for me, but I don't mind him, so much. It was good of him to work it with the girls the way things worked out for him, getting the 'boys only' immunity idol from Sabrina. I hope he doesn't side with team frat. He;s better than the typical strategist to me, though, as he actually does stuff, instead of just talking a big game and playing pretend as to being a good player (here's looking at you, Cochrane).
 * 14) Troyzan. Troyzan? Anyway, he can't deal with another dude with a Tarzan reference for a name? Grow up, fifty year old dude. Unfortunately for team frat, he ranks above all of them.
 * 15) Bill. More like... invisi-bill! *rolls on floor laughing at my own joke*
 * 16) Jay. He's that... one. Right? He's one of those contestants whose sole personality trait is that they're good looking.
 * 17) Matt. Wow, dude. Slow down. He thinks he's the king of both tribes, or something. Your team wronged the girls when Michael stole their ax, then you want a chicken for nothing? Dude... I know you made a deal, but you do need to consider fairness. Oh, that's right. You also decided that the girls didn't deserve a shot at the challenge, after a circumstance that wasn't their own fault. I'm not a fan of Mr. High and Mighty.
 * 18) Michael. Not only is he bland, he's also a jerk, taking the girl's ax, and not owning up to it to them. Definitely my least favorite.

Personally, I find frat boys pretty hilarious, in general, but these guys are more on the 'we're better than everyone else, and four is the majority on a team of nine'. Math is important in the world of alliances and Survivor, guys. Also, I didn't understand why the guys got a choice in continuing the challenge or not. What happened didn't effect their team, it effected the women. I think the girls should have had the choice as to whether to continue or not. Not that it would have made much of a difference, though there have been bigger comebacks.

I will also say that it was kind of refreshing to see the guys not have that great of personalities, not that that will make the audience actually like any of the female contestants most. The focus and big personalities are usually reserved for male contestant slots on Survivor.

Okay. I also want to hear what other viewers thought of the cast, and episode, in general. Thanks for reading/skimming. Sorry there aren't any pictures.
