update: finished marquesas
i was really liking it by the end - after the last 2 seasons with an amazing pre-merge and a so-so/bad post-merge this season had the opposite, and after rob was voted off i really was digging it.
so... here is my ranking!
SEASON 4: MARQUESAS
ok this is the official unspoiled edgic but it still has so many problems. like how is vecepia UTR overall? i am in love with zoe's edgic though
cast ranking: (with SOME gifs because half the ones i had didn't work)
i struggled so long to decide between my top 2 but after thinking about it for a bit i am at peace with it.
sean - my first male #1! i loved sean! he was such an interesting and funny presence, and he's more difficult to write about because he doesnt have any specific ~moments~ but just as a person he was super compelling, and it was awesome for a show like survivor in 2002 to talk about racial issues!
kathy - omg having her this high makes me even sadder because then i remember all stars kathy
kathy is super fascinating to watch in this season, and she was the reason that i found rob tolerable for one episode (their dinner lol). her conversation with zoe and rob where she freaks out and she's like "they're all lying to me!" was iconic.
vecepia - i was not expecting to appreciate her as much because i didn't have the fondest memories of her and most people label her as a boring winner, but i thought she was super fun to watch! she's not the most visible person, but that's fine! I loved how she would stir up drama and then say how she didn't want to be involved in the drama.
john - watching his rise and fall was super amazing to watch, and clearly one of the most iconic moments in survivor history
neleh - oh my heck!! i loved her constant MORP2/MORP3 morph into her OTTN5 breakout episode lmao. she's been campaigning so much to be on again with john and they both seriously deserve it! SEASON 34 CAST SPOILERS
apparently the new season is called survivor: game changers, so why the hell didn't they put her on?? she literally changed the entire game of survivor
also, why did people say she rode coattails? maybe pre-merge but to be fair she went to 2 pre-merge tribal councils and both votes were unanimous. it felt to me that she had to almost PRY paschal to stop being dumb and flip, and yet people will say she rode his coattails
sarah - i've already posted some about her but i loved how she seemed so unaware of like everyone else hating her. saying good luck to gina even though gina clearly could not stand her and trashed her at every opportunity.
zoe -
"WELL, I HAVE A WORK HARD PLAY HARD ATTITUDE, AND I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE SITTING THERE UP IN THAT SEAT. I FEEL I WORKED REALLY HARD OUT THERE AND I PLAYED HARD WITH THE PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO PLAY. BUT IM NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT LIES.... AND... AND DECEPTION... BECAUSE I WAS THERE TOO. WE *ALL* WERE THERE. BASICALLY, I BELIEVE BOTH OF YOU HAVE GOOD HEARTS... AND YOU MADE IT. TO THIS SPOT, THAT ALL OF US WANTED TO BE AT. SO CONGRAGULATIONS THERE AND... THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY."
gina - lol she was edited so positively but actually seemed so stank and grouchy the whole time? that circled back into me thinking it was funny so it goes here
robert - robert was really not visible, probably the least of all the people post-merge? but he still managed to be relatively funny
tammy - these two gifs sum her up so perfectly. providing more side-eye than gina even. i can totally see how zoe didn't like her eyes/presentation
peter - a fairly ok first boot. don't care about him
hunter - also didn't really care about him lol but i liked him more than boston rob but i liked the people boston rob was aligned with more i guess?
patricia - although i typically like most old lady pre-merge boots (minus DIANE) like sonja, mad dog, she wasn't as fun and just sort of stank the whole time. lol no wonder i didn't like pre-merge marquesas with patricia gina and tammy being so grouchy lol
gabriel - his whole thing about building the society and not wanting to play is so obnoxious. not here for it!
rob - people say boston rob's best season is marquesas, which is true.... however he is still almost last. he's just suuuuuch a douche and i literally only liked him in his last ep, but that was more because of kathy and zoe. i hated his whole gay stuff with john also, like he wasn't rudy who was 72 and stuff he was just being a douche. like that one scene where rob was like "hey are you gay? just checking" to john was just not funny at all. how did someone so UTRfun like amber end up with such an annoying person
ugh i hate boston rob good thing he's VERY present in THREE OTHER SEASONS god
paschal - RACIST!!! RODGER BINGHAM HE IS NOT!!
"I will not! align myself with people like Sean and Vee."
"It's so important to me to make sure someone like
Sean doesn't make it to the finals"
"Both Vecepia and Sean...they've both just basically been skating the entire time, duping people "
"Kathy's...she's you know, from Vermont. I'm from Georgia. And Sean's...well, he's from Harlem. This thing runs deeper than a game."
like jeeeeeeeez
