5th: Maria Ortiz (7th) Maria is an interesting one because I remember thinking for the longest time that she was going to win, although I can't seem to remember why. I mean, she was a good player and a phenomenal competitor, but to be honest, she didn't really do much else. Pre-swap she was a fucking g.oddess putting Ryan in his place but afterwards she definitely lost that inital spark a bit. I liked the fact that she was scrappy; she was more than willing to align with anyone and screw over whoever to get ahead. She was always target number 1 regardless. However, I think it's pretty significant to note that there were only two times in the game where she didn't have some kind of immunity protecting her. And while I have come to respect those that rely on immunity challenges more as the years go on, it just wasn't a smart thing for her to do, especially so early. Another reason I ultimately placed her here instead of in fourth (where I was originally going to put here) is because she had such terrible taste in allies post-merge. I can't really blame her because she had to work with what she could but she still enabled the gross Will-Phyllis-Veronica alliance post-merge, which -yuck-.

Next clue: A man :)
