Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains

originally aired 2/11/2010-5/16/2010

The order in which players left the game, and the impact they left behind:


  • Sugar (Heroes; Gabon) Couldn't possibly have replicated her prior success.
  • Stephenie (Heroes; Palau) Clearly needed to be eliminated.
  • Randy (Villains; Gabon) Probably did him a favor.
  • Cirie (Heroes; Panama) Glad to see her go quickly.
  • Tom (Heroes; Palau) Couldn't possibly have improved on his last experience.
  • Tyson (Villains; Tocantins) Did about as well as he could.
  • James (Heroes; China) Try as he might, just can't do what it takes to win this game.
  • Boston Rob (Villains; Marquesas) Could not survive a true villain.
  • Coach (Villains; Tocantins) Could not survive a true villain.
  • Courtney (Villains; China) Could not survive a true villain.
  • J.T. (Heroes; Tocantins) Could not survive a true villain.
  • Amanda (Heroes; China) Could not survive a true villain.
  • Candice (Heroes; Cook Islands) Could not survive a true villain.
  • Danielle (Villains; Panama) Could not survive a true villain.
  • Rupert (Heroes; Pearl Islands) Could not survive a true villain.
  • Colby (Heroes; Australian Outback) Could not survive his own aging body.
  • Jerri (Villains; Australian Outback) Could not survive a true villain.
  • Russell (Villains; Samoa) Once again the consummate villain.
  • Parvati (Villains; Cook Islands) Made it to the finals again.
  • Sandra (Villains; Pearl Islands) Proof of the pudding, considered a villain, but still at best an alternative rather than a true winner, because again a jury wouldn't vote Russell to win, and Parvati this time was all but cancelled out.  It's just sad to me that Sandra managed to win twice by default.

Survivor: Samoa

originally aired 9/17/2009-12/20/2009

The order in which players left the game, and the impact they left behind:


  • Marisa (Foa Foa) [...]
  • Mike (Foa Foa) [...]
  • Betsy (Foa Foa) [...]
  • Ben (Foa Foa) [...]
  • Yasmin (Galu) [...]
  • Ashley (Foa Foa) [...]
  • Russell Swan (Galu) Fanatical would-be leader.  Evacuated.
  • Liz (Foa Foa) [...]
  • Erik (Galu) [...]
  • Kelly (Galu) [...]
  • Laura (Galu) [...]
  • John (Galu) [...]
  • Dave (Galu) [...]
  • Monica (Galu) [...]
  • "Shambo" (Galu) Gamely proved that this season could be remembered for something other than a villain.  
  • Jaison (Foa Foa) [...]
  • Brett (Galu) [...]
  • Mick (Foa Foa) [...]
  • Russell Hantz (Foa Foa) Thoroughly dominated the season as the worst villain in Survivor history
  • Natalie (Foa Foa) Won because no one had the stomach to award the win to Russell.  As much as it pains me to say so, fair is fair: he should have won.  (Wait, no he shouldn't.  If you make it to the finals with Russell, you must have done something right.)
