Eyre Peninsula Castaway Rankings based on both gameplay AND personal like/dislike

20th: Kelly Walters (17th Place)- Need I say more? She was not prepared for the game at all and it showed and I think she must have the IQ of a kumquat.

19th: Oscar Patterson (20th Place)- As a young, strong guy, he should have been able to go very far. Instead, he was a well deserved first boot because he was rude and lazy. Good riddance!

18th: Timothy Holden (6th Place)- Timothy takes the term "anti-social" to a whole new level. He essentially followed Anastacia and then Holly the entire season always afraid of making a big move and being "punished" by being sent home. Timothy was CONSTANTLY breaking down throughout the game and I literally couldn't stand it anymore by the time his game ended. I'm so glad that Hazel framed Timothy for Audrey's blindside so that he was mercifully put down before the Final Tribal Council. I was literally cringing at the throught of what would he might do if he made FTC and got slaughtered.

17th: Richie Forsythe (14th Place)- Another guy that wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed to say the least. Personality wise, I can't say he was terrible. Gameplay wise though, he is well deserving of this spot on the list.

16th: Holly Underwood (Runner Up)- If I was listing these people based solely on personal preference, I've made it no secret that she would be on the very bottom. However, I'm going to be fair and do a proper ranking. I felt that the way that she used Timothy through the game and pretended to be his friend was uncalled for, especially when she said that the only reason that she even approached Timothy was because she was forced into it, which she revealed in her post-game interview (rather than wanting to be a genuine person). Her actual gameplay in and of itself was nothing that spectacular either as she ended up relying on immunity wins come the end. If she ever returns, I swear I will probably tear my eyes out.

15th: Audrey Pearce (7th Place)- I swear, before she started the game, Audrey became infected with Russell Hantz Syndrome. She was incredibly mean and cruel to everyone around her and if she made it to the end, she was on a one-way train to Goat City. The worst part is that Audrey still thinks she had a shot to win! She may have played strategically, but strategy means nothing on Survivor if the people around you could swear that she has weekly lessons with the Devil on "How to be more Evil" Speaking of those lessons with the Devil, I wonder what she charges him?

14th: Angela Best (9th Place)-  The only reason I somewhat liked Angela is because she called Holly out for being fake at the final tribal council. Angela played an absolutely pathetic game! She was a pathetic freak the entire time and ALWAYS flipped so that nobody could trust her! Between her and Audrey, I had a tough time deciding who should be higher these rankings. I only decided that Angela would be one place higher becuase she at least tried to get along with people in the game, such as when she started swinging in the trees at Elijah's request.

13th: Pip Morton (15th Place)- Personality wise, I found Pip to be just "Okay". As popular as he was, I don't understand it. As deserving as he is to be in Second Chances, I think he played a pretty poor game by stepping up to be the tribe leader. The way he was going, it was only a matter of time before he was blindsided, and look what happened.

12th: Lilith Garcia (18th Place)- Oh Lilith. Poor, uncoordinated Lilith. Between her manga, and her personality, I just adored her throughout the game! It really is too bad that she was eliminated due to her weakness in challenges. Based on her poor performance though, I just can't put her any higher.

11th: Marilyn Coughlan (19th Place)- Like Lilith, I absoultely loved Marilyn! Considering her age, I thought she actually played decently well given the hand that she was dealt in the game. Unfortunately, her age just came back to bite her and given her placement, I couldn't put her any higher.

10th: Bandito Traxel (12th Place)- Apart from a great social game, there wasn't much to his gameplay. I grew to like Bandito as a person, but wasn't upset when he was eliminated because a lot of better players still remained.

9th: Wilhelmina Austin (16th Place)- Despite always being on or near the bottom, Wilhelmina played a decent game and was certainly deserving of the title of "Most in Need of Redemption" at the Fanon Awards. She was an incredibly strong challenge performer as well despite being 44. She unfortunately however became Angela's first victim when Angela flipped to avoid rocks. Had Wilhelmina survived that vote, she'd certainly be higher on this list, but alas, it's not to be.

8th: Elijah McMahon-Stevens (10th Place)- Elijah was funny as Hell throughout the game! He may have been a little over the top at times; but whatever. He was strong in challenges, but didn't really prove to be that bright. In fact, if he hadn't found the idol by a complete accident, he wouldn't have made the merge! After the merge, he also played his "swing vote" position terribly which resulted in his elimination.

7th: Vyvienne Grima (13th Place)- This is the part in my rankings where things get really difficult because everyone left is amazing. I loved Vyvienne from the second she was introduced (her exchange with Kelly on the beach). She proved to be a great strategist and got herself in a position of power. It's unfortunate that her illness caused her early elimination, but with the way things were going, she probably would have been blindsided soon anyway if she stayed.

6th: Itsuki Takenawa (Second Runner Up)- I completely understand why a lot of people absolutely ADORE Itsuki! She's one of those characters that you just want to hug. I did find though that she was overly emotional and was a coattail rider the whole game, so I can't see why people think she deserved to win. If it wasn't for her adorable personality, Itsuki would be much much lower.

5th: Raphael Francis (5th Place)- What a coincidence, eh? Raphie finished 5th in the game and is 5th on my list. Anyway, given that Raphael started the game with a massive fear of water, he overcame a tremendous amount during his time in the game! He was also amazing strategically and was a massive jury threat which is why he was blindsided by Itsuki. I'm going to say outright that I am nitpicking here, but I found Raphie to be a tad overly emotional at times (although not NEARLY as bad as Itsuki). Other than that though, he was a great player.

4th: Horatio Ellison (8th Place)- Horatio was amazing throughout his time in the game and proved to be a lovable guy, who was actually a great strategist. As much as I would have loved to see him go further in the game, he made the same mistake that Joe Anglim made in both his seasons, being an absolute challenge beast, and him challenging Kris didn't help matters. Other than that though, he was a great player and I am SUPER excited to bring him back for Oman!

3rd: Kris Nightingale (4th Place)- I always LOVE rooting for villains and Kris was definitely someone I enjoyed reading from start to finish. He may have been infected with Russell Hantz Syndrome like Audrey was, but to a much lesser degree. Although he was manipulated by Hazel for most of the season, Kris got the job done strategically as well for the most part. I honestly can't say I have too many complaints about him.

2nd: Anastacia Greenwood (11th Place)- Anastacia was the complete and total package! She was strong in challenges, social, and strategic! I was so sad when she was medically evacuated because at that point, I was rooting for her to win the whole thing! Unlike Holly, she was a genuine friend to Timothy and got him to be blindly loyal to her without even trying! It was so unfortunate that she even had the idol when she was medevac'd because I thought she had a great chance to win, but I enjoyed the part where she made Timothy promise to play his own game! I definitely hope Anastacia gets another chance one day to finish what she started.

1st: Hazel Barellias (Sole Survivor)- What can I say? Queen Hazel played an amazing strategic game from start to finish! Between manipulating Kris, to framing Timothy for Audrey's blindside, to manipulating Audrey to voting for her with her FLAWLESS final tribal council performance, I can't think of anything bad to say about Hazel's game! Hazel also only re-enforced my absoulte LOVE for respectable villains in Survivor as well! It was an amazing end to an amazing season with Queen Hazel's well deserved win.
