Cut - Kathy Vavrick O'Brien

620. Kathy Vavrick O'Brien - Season 8 - All Stars

I think the reason Kathy falls so low for me in her All-Stars appearance is perhaps because of how much I LOVED her in Marquesas. Coming into the season, she was up there in my Top 5 all-stars, only to drop to one of the absolute WORST by the season's conclusion. Other than just being rather bland and unexciting throughout the whole season, Kathy has some VERY questionable reactions to Jenna & Sue's respective quits. Let's take a look at each of them.

On one of Jenna's final days on the island, when it becomes clear just how badly her mom is affecting her, Kathy somehow has the audacity to tell her to "lighten up" because her depression is a CANCER to the tribe. Yeah, okay, barring the fact that it was so inconsiderate to use the word cancer considering that's exactly what Jenna's mom was dying of, but the whole message is just absolutely disgusting. People aren't allowed to be sad that their own mother and best friend in life is on the verge of death apparently? I think the level of terribleness should speak for itself.

Then comes Sue's quit which is almost as revolting as Tom & Rob's reaction. Sue was just sexually harassed and obviously very emotionally-drained at this point and did what she felt was necessary, which was to quit the game. Perfectly reasonable in the eyes of literally anyone with common decency. But no, here comes Kathy who for whatever reason, blames Sue for bringing the tribe into her "core of hatred" by quitting the game. Firstly, isn't quitting the game RIDDING you of the so-called "hatred" you think she's bringing? That just makes no sense at all. Secondly, I find it just beyond vile for her to make Sue out to be some kind of hateful person in a situation like this when she was clearly hurt and in a fragile state of mind. Ugh. Pure trash.

For the remainder of the season, she does nothing special except for being Lex's bitter sidekick who delivers one of many ugly jury speeches come FTC. Glad she's finally gone.

Save - Tasha Fox (31) - She's boring but not anywhere near as awful as the other two.
