The Best:
5. Colleen Haskell
Pagong was losing numbers fast going into the merge. Gretchen, Greg, Jenna, and Gervase were all lost to the alliance of Rich,Rudy,Kelly,and Sue (also, Sean's ABC "strategy" really didn't help things). So after all that, who would have thought that the last surviving Pagong member would be the 102 pound collage student?
Colleen gave a big giant "screw you" to Hatch and his alliance and almost made him throw his plans out the window by being the only Pagong member with enough brains to notice that there actually was an alliance and also the only one with enough balls (or ovaries) to try to stop the alliance. Colleen was actually one of the most surprising people on the show being a force in almost every challenge she competed in. I love Colleen as a player, and I would like to say that this list is only about how they played the game, but I moved her to fifth place just for acting in a Rob Schneider movie, if she didn't lower herself to *HIM* she would have been top three easily.
Besides that, Colleen is still one of the greatest Survivor girls ever, only beaten by another person from this season. Colleen is a person who I would love to see compete again.
4. Sean Kenniff
Most people are probably asking why Sean isn't on a worst list. His ABC voting strategy, the superpole 2000, and the fact that he was indecisive are just a few reasons most people thought he was a loser. Yeah Sean is kind of a dork, but that is why I like him. Sean was just to nice of a guy and I think I am in the minority in thinking that helped him play the game. the ABC voting made him easier to fly under the radar becuase he was not really hurting anyone with his votes. The way he voted made peopel not threatened by him and made the game easier for him.
Plus, being a nice guy made Sean a character to respect and, dare I say it, LIKE after the Pagong tribe fell. Sean just was a nice person and while that may not make him the best Survivor player it still made him fun to watch.
The reason Greg is so likeable to me is because it is very clear that he doesn't give two shits about this show our Jeff Probst. Greg took every chance he could to make an ass of himself and expose the show for what it was. He comically overreacted to every little thing that happened to him and his tribe, and acted crazy for absolutely no reason.
Greg is probably most known for bursting into song while his team explains a clue, yelling "WHO COUNTED THE CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCHED!?" at his tribe when the chickens they won were eaten by lizards, interrupting his interview to watch a flying fish, and fake crying hysterically when he was voted out. There is even a rumor that he got his whole tribe to vote for Jeff one tribal council just to be crazy. Greg is one of the funniest people to ever play Survivor and I would love to see him compete again even if Jeff and the producers hate him.
2. Jenna Lewis
Jenna is my favorite female Survivor contestant ever and the more and more I watch Borneo and All-Stars, I find myself liking her more and more. What is it that I like about Jenna so much? Why do I always wish that she aliened with Colleen and Gervase to vote out Rich?
Jenna was actually one of the most compelling and nicest people in Survivor history. She never hurt anybody's feelings on purpose and she always tried her best in challenges. Jenna was always a good person at heart and could make good decisions and have fun at the same time (that was surprisingly not supposed to be a reference to the sex tape BTW). Jenna actually was able to be a human player and be sympathetic when she didn't get the tape (the tape from her KIDS not the *other* tape). I always was amazed in the season of terrible female players, one of them actually is my favorite of the whole show. So good job Jenna, you actually gave Borneo two women on the show that were not terrible people (excluding Sonja and Gretchen). Also, appearing in an Eminem music video is pretty sweet.
1. Rudy Boesch
If Rudy isn't the greatest Survivor player of all time he is definitely up there. Every moment with Rudy on screen made me crack up with laughter, that is just the way he is a person. He made Borneo a very enjoyable season by being the most quotable person in Survivor history. Also, Rudy wasn't a lazy ass like Dirk or Ramona, Rudy did very well in the kitchen and went very hard in the challenges. Rudy is one of the players that I would like to meet and talk to at some point in my life and I guarantee I would have a whole notepad of funny stuff to write when I did.
The quote generating man himself. He did America proud.
Rudy was the fan favorite that year and if it wasn't for Kelly, Rudy would have easily CRUSHED his opponents. Not only was he great enough to return to All-Stars, and write a book, he was also a NAVY SEAL which makes him all kinds of awesome. Rowdy Rudy, you did America proud, great job sir.
P.S. RIP to Rudy's wife, Marge, who passed away on 11/1/2008)
