User blog:CoolUnderdog/KROCK1991 Top 25 best players honorable mention - females

Hey guys! So I've decided to step aside from the list of my best 25 players ever and reveal the honorable mentions that did not make the cut. It was a really tough choice and I had so much admiration and respect for these players. But at the same time, the one's I chose were perfect for the list. So for the next two blogs, I'll be posting out the five women and five men who did not make the cut, but deserve extra credit. So here we go. First, for the women.

Daphne Green

The very first flipper in this game. She would flip flop her way between alliances and somehow managed to make it all the way to final four. This move seemed to pay off well though it was noticed and spotted just episodes before her time was done. The reason she didn't make the cut was for the most part, with the exception of seeing her dad come back after nine months in war, there wasn't much about Daphne that I could carry on. I did like her as a character and person. But she didn't have any moments that would make her be placed on the list. Now, if this were a top 25 for most inspirational players, that's a different story.

Marley Houston

So why is it that her girlfriend Mandy is on the list and not her? Good question! Marley was the leader of the pair and seemed to have control of the girl's alliance. As the men fell victim nearly week after week, we started to see a power shift in Marley's favor and it looked like she would win in the end. But one passionate speech plus a betrayal by the women's side led to her elimination. So why is Mandy on the list, but not Marley? Because Mandy was supposed to be done after Marley. But instead, she fought back to the final four. Marley did not have that chance to be because she was voted out before.

Natalya Mendes

Here's the big scoop. Natalya comes in as this great debating champion. She claims to be a true major threat and can cause problems. The only problems she caused were her being in the minority alliance. Things always seemed to go wrong for her. Even while she had bright moments like joining Xavier in striking against their own tribe in one episode, she could never seem to find her way out of the hole. Try as she might, she failed. If she had gotten out of the hole, she would be on the list. But her struggles and attempts to get out make her a legendary player.

Molly Webster

Ah yes! The so-called "goat" of the season. Needless to say, she was supposed to be a strong player and made moves that would help her get in a spot to win the game. While we can't see what she thinks about, it's no question that some moves of hers are questionable and somewhat controversial. But while the goat label should be used on someone else (Tanglefrost! Just kidding, Wayne), we can all find a goat inside us for making a mistake we have no idea where making. And in all honesty, SPOILER ALERT:

Molly was my original pick to win the game.

In the end, I only changed it to make it as interesting as I could with Andy winning.

The fifth and final female honorable mention.

Mavis McCoy

This woman was around 50 years old if I can remember and she was seen as a nice person. Yet for some reason, she was named villain of the season. Whether it was betraying Kendra or trying to take out Amy, she had a villain inside her. But sometimes, it's hard to find a reason why she's a villain. She seems like a nice person who wouldn't hurt a fly. She's not in her 20s, but she can still enjoy life. For reasons why I'll never know. But if you think about it, Mavis can be a lesson for us that even though we're always a good person at heart, there's sometimes where the bad guy has to come out in us to survive.
