OK Tangle, you asked the question, so here are my additions:

Alexis Mandel- Survivor: Peru

I'm actually pretty surprised that Alexis was not on Tangle's original list. For the first half of Peru, Alexis was essentially Purple Kelly 2.0. People seemed to love her for literally NO REASON because she didn't do ANYTHING! Sure she got Griffin out, but her boot followed right after. Then out of nowhere she wins "Villain of the Season"???? You people have got to be kidding me with that one!

Chandler Lamar- Survivor: Qatar

Was he a likable kid? Sure he was! Was he deserving of the million dollars? HELL NO! I was so glad that this guy lost to Orlando, but he did not deserve to come as close as he did! Literally all Chandler did was win immunities. Was his streak impressive? Absolutely! But during his streak he had significant help from Bill and Orlando to MAKE SURE HE WON so that they could continue to fly under the radar! So in my opinion, there should be an asterisk (*) next to his number of immunity wins because of that. Even if he didn't have the help that he got though, it still wouldn't change my opinion much on him because he still didn't do anything other than win immunities. Had he lost even 1 of those challenges he would have been gone! For the record, I'm going to include in this category the Mike Holloways, Joe Anglims, Ozzy Lusths and any other similar players as well because they are overrated for pretty much the exact same reason!

Jason Drysdale- Survivor: Montserrat

To close it out, here's one from my first season. Truth be told, I actually like Jason (mostly because his personality unintentionally developed into something a lot like mine); however, I don't understand his popularity. When I started planning out Montserrat, I honestly thought Jason would be one of the "scrappies" because he doesn't really do anything. For the entire game, he rides the coat-tails of Pamela, and then later Deanne (although it was Doug in the original draft). Although I understand that people probably fell in love with his personality more than anything, never in a million years did I expect to be bringing this guy back! However, even re-reading Montserrat, I still don't see this guy as being a big deal at all. In my opinion, he's just another guy that happens to have a likable personality and nothing more. Although since his personality is similar to mine, I'll take all the praise for Jason that I can get :p
