Whilst I think there are a few large problems with Garrett's performance I do think that this seasons format is possibly the worst for win equity for players with high intelligence. Especially with a designated brains tribe. Most dominating winners have been successful because they are playing with people that are easily manipulated. It's going to take some top level acumen to successfully manipulate the Brains tribe.

Top 5 WOAT is a pretty good example of recency basis+exagerration.

Colton

come the **** on

Shamar

whine whine whine whine complain whine whine ostracize whine whine whine

Brandon Hantz

Osten Taylor - Sean Kenniff

I just came here to say Cliff Robinson is the man.


and screw the cop!

Yeah Cliff rules but I also like Tony too. Very likeable brawns tribe.

I think it's truly hard to establish a Top 5 WOAT because there really have been so many people who have played absolutely awful over the seasons. Sure I'll agree with you that Shamar/Colton/Brandon were horrible and none of the people on the list did well in terms of the game but I still find it hard to discern who is actually the worst from each other. Like Chet from Fans vs Favs, NaOnka, Dreamz, Ghandia, Courtney Marit and many more could all be in consideration for the worst. Literally on Amazon there was this lady Joanna who didn't want the immunity idol because she was hyper religious and thought it was worshipping false idols by having it at camp.

I do think that Osten although an idiot for selling all his clothes, isn't one of the worst. After that he was in no shape to handle the conditions out there and left the game with multiple ailments and obscene amount of weight loss. Would you view him differently had he just asked to have been voted out by his tribe and they respected his wishes? Something that has happened on many different cases (such as Jeff on Palau, Fairplay etc.) throughout the season and was going to happen at that tribal before Jeff disallowed the vote and said he could only leave if he quit.

Osten for sure. Can we throw Lil in there? She will always be my most hated, and one of the worst to me.

Lisi from Fiji ffs

Terrible in every single possible facet

Forgot about her. Lol religious people. Ya she wins hands down.

I swear I keep forgetting about some of these people, recency bias FTW.

As far as WOAT, people who quit are hands down the worst. Didn't they reveal Colton's "medical emergency" the first time around wasn't an actual emergency? He's just a little bitch. Can't understand why Caleb is with him.

I liked when she was sleeping only a few feet away from the horsemen while they were digging up the idol.

LOL and she woke up, saw them refilling the hole, and thought she "caught" them digging.

• Blatantly alienating Dreamz and Cassandra even when Alex explained they needed them for numbers.
• Complaining about "babysitting" Papa Smurf when he had a potentially life-threatening condition.
• *Hoping* she'd get booted when they redrew tribes and she was the last one not picked.
• Falling flat on her fat face running off the platform in the memory challenge (and still messing it up even though the matching tiles were just flipped).
  
• Her final TC questions about Cassandra's water shoes and asking Dreamz how many zeroes were in a million (and she didn't know *herself* LOLOL).

WOAT

I had to google her cuz I had completely forgotten who she was. Wiped her from my mind completely.

I think when people said woat they were obviously exaggerating. More biggest disappointment of all time. Someone that seemed to have all the skills to crush but didn't.

100% agreed.

lol nuclear engineers.

loool Brains.

Who the **** has 50 friends who are cops that isn't a cop. Worst lie ever.

gman would have done better if he had blatantly thrown the challenges and thrown his tribe's food in the fire.

huge runbad they put him on the brain tribe. he was a triple threat, and could have easily been on either of the other tribes where his other attributes wouldn't have stood out as much. and he wouldn't have been such a target.

Lol, I know! So bad. He's doing everything he can to show how untrustworthy he is. Cmon bro!

Cliff and Tony draining the boat of water was great. It was like a little kid helping out dad.

Wendy is WOAT with a bullet. Her own husband predicted she would be the first one out.

A big part of playing survivor is adapting to the hand you're dealt and making the most out of your situation. On Malcolm and Denise's season they were stuck with a horrible tribe that lost every single challenge the first few weeks. They stuck together and went all the way to the finals. Bad luck that Garrett was stuck with the tribe he did but he also lucked out by David being a moron and basically gift wrapped an immunity idol to him. Had he been on the Brawn's or beauty tribe he wouldn't have gotten that opportunity. And who knows if tasha would've turned on Garrett if he wasn't so insistent on getting rid of jtia her number one ally. I just don't think he would've been the target had he not alienated tasha and jtia.

FWIW I meant to point out that I didn't think those five are the 5 WOAT, just five that are clearly worse than Garrett imo. I agree with your general point about it being hard to determine who the WOAT are, but I don't think Garrett is close to the truly terrible tier of players.

I wasn't in the camp that Garrett was WOAT, so yeah I can agree with your statement.

He still sucks the big one though.
