So, before the long-anticipated new season of Survivor (which is technically season 32, since they already filmed another one, but I digress), I'm going to give my order and rooting interest in all the players. Basically, when it comes to me rooting for somebody, these are the things I care most about:
1. Likability - In simple terms, if I like you as a person, I'm going to root for you. Screw the edit and your game-play. Mike, from Worlds Apart, was incredible; I could care less about how he was edited. Shirin, regardless if you think she's "victimizing herself" (which she isn't, so get over yourselves), is a wonderful girl with a good heart and I adore her. Basically, just endear yourself to me and I'll root for you.
2. Underdog Status - Typically, if you're someone who is on the outs, or is being hated on or ostracized, I will likely root for you. Don't we ALL root for the underdogs? Well, not all of us; I know some of you who root for the Derricks from Big Brother, since you just respect that kind of game-play more than the underdog, and that's fine. It makes you a rotten person, but it's fine.
3. Deserving Of Victory - I always go back to Samoa with this argument: Natalie White had no business stealing Russell's victory. Yes, Natalie fit into the first two categories in this list, but not in this one. She didn't deserve to win. Just being likable isn't always enough for me. If you literally did nothing the whole game, and the person sitting next to you is at LEAST entertaining or funny in some way other than just being flat-out unlikable and awful, then you don't deserve to win.
So, yes, these are my three conditions. Once more, I do NOT care about your editing; whine about how Mike's edit from last season was bad all you want, but I highly disagree. And, again, I don't care if you're a mastermind and you played a great game; you still need to be likable or at least entertaining. I don't want a boring strategy bot to win the season (AKA Kim from One World). So, without further ado, this is my rooting order:
1. Woo Hwang (Love)
2. Shirin Oskooi (Love)
3. Keith Nale (Love)
4. Stephen Fishbach (Love)
5. Spencer Bledsoe (Like)
6. Ciera Eastin (Like)
7. Peih-Gee Law (Like)
8. Kimmi Kappenberg (Like)
9. Jeff Varner (Like)
10. Tasha Fox (Like)
11. Andrew Savage (Like)
12. Kelly Wiglesworth (Neutral)
13. Terry Deitz (Neutral)
14. Kass McQuillen (Neutral)
15. Abi-Maria Gomes (Neutral)
16. Vytas Baskauskas (Dislike)
17. Joe Anglim (Dislike)
18. Monica Padilla (Dislike)
19. Kelley Wentworth (Dislike)
20. Jeremy Collins (Hate)
I find it hilarious how I get negged so badly for having an opinion. This pretty much shows that when you have an opinion that is in the minority, you get hated on. Pathetic, Tengaged. Nice to know how awful you people are. But, I've known that for a long time now. Also had to delete a lot of comments on here, due to too much stupidity, idiocy, and retarded behavior. Basically, all this negging is just jealousy that I actually have an opinion that differs from yours.
