Agreed, although us having this conversation in of itself is pretty moot because there is no objective definition of "stupid" that can be applied to every person and label them as officially stupid or not stupid. It's a completely subjective descriptor.
That being said, considering how many stupid people there are in the world, (and going by my own ideas of stupid) I would say that there definitely have been plenty of those types on Survivor. I would say that there are certain qualities that color stupidity like obliviousness, ignorance, showing a lack of understanding of logic, strategy, or reason, being a poor critical thinker, being poor at puzzles, etc. All of which are also subjective and based on interpretation, so I will only say that in my own opinion, there have been a lot of stupid people on Survivor.
And yes, Boc, I know it's only based on the footage they've shown, and not the hundreds of hours of footage they decided to leave out showing Kelly P to be a strategic mastermind or NaOnka debating the merits of existentialism
with Chase.
