Best Female Prejury Boots

This is part one of a post that you will see more of next week before the new season starts. I had this idea on the back burner for a while, ignoring it for over a year in favor of other posts. But I seem to know now that some of the planned posts won’t work and this one probably will. So I’m going to go through all of the seasons thus far and mention the best players who were voted out before the jury. I won’t refer to them as I have in the title since I know my computer will just autocorrect it to perjury.

Rules: In order to be on the list, either one must have only played once or one must have always been voted out before the jury in every season they played in. They can make the list if they made the merge but not the jury but that can’t make the list if they made the jury but not the merge. Anyways, that’s about it for rules that I can think of. This isn’t a top ten on my part. It is just a list of what I think were some of the greatest women of the game who never made the jury.

Let’s start with the first season. Sonja was a pretty memorable player despite being the first person who was voted out of the game. Gretchen was a notable player herself. Many think that she could have won if only things worked more normally then. There might be others that I want to include, but as much as I like them on facebook, they would have to have made a big enough mark in the game in order for me to consider them worthy of this list.

Thus, I skip to Palau where I’d choose Wanda. Her singing may have been really weird and may have left her unpicked for a tribe (like anyone knew that was going to happen), but her nice and strange ways were pretty entertaining for the brief time that she was here.

There are some random ones that I’ll mention. Guatemala had Amy who was even considered to be a returning player. They wouldn’t consider just any for that, especially someone booted before the jury. Misty proved to be interesting being the first person exiled when it was an official long term twist. In Fiji, Sylvia was interesting enough to choose the two different tribes of the game. And Liliana from the same season became the only contestant to be voted out despite being on a tribe that never lost a challenge up to the point of her elimination. (A twist brought her winning tribe to tribal council.)

One of the best women voted out before the jury was Gillian because she created reality rally. She played in the Gabon season. Other players that I liked were Elizabeth from Samoa and Kelly Bruno from Nicaragua. I feel that they left their marks even if they were gone before the second half of the game. You can see that in some seasons. Like in Redemption Island, Francesca and Kristina had the sense at one point to try to get rid of the person who they knew would otherwise win. Francesca played again, but she failed to make it far due, in part, to the same person who booted her the first time.

South Pacific was a bummer of a season for me because there were actually nice people who I felt left the game early while the people who were all still competing in the finale were just terrible (at least, that season), in my mind. But it gave us good contestants eliminated from the jury, such as Elyse, who was an interesting person, Mikayla, whose elimination that season stings me the most even though she wasn’t my favorite that season (that honor goes to Edna), and Christine, who should have gotten back into the game, but failed because she had to compete against the all powerful Ozzy.

Rounding down the list to the end, Sarah was notable in Philippines for kissing (the married) Jeff Probst. That gets her on my list. Marissa was pretty notable for her brief time on Blood versus Water. While I didn’t like her, I’d have to admit that J’Tia from Cagayan was great entertainment in her brief time in the game. And the last person who I feel is really worthy of the list is Alecia from Koah Rong who tried her hardest to play even when the odds were against her.

Well, that’s it for this blog post of mine. But while this post may be over, stay tuned! Before the next season starts, I’ll get the male side of the list. Who were the best men eliminated before the jury started their seasons? The epic conclusion will be revealed in next week’s post!
