Survivor: Cagayan- Hero or Villain

 

As usual, there are some seasons that I want to keep track of the heroes and villains from it so I think that I should include this season in the list as well. I should get into why Survivor is having an even longer offseason than usual as most people might know in a different post of this blog not dedicated to that. But I remain dedicated to doing as many of these blog posts as possible regardless of it there is a season to blog about at all. Now let’s get to the post in question.

 

When we go through the cast of the 28^th season of Survivor, it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out where some of the players rank in terms of their villainy or, perhaps, their heroicness. Of course, maybe they are neither in the end. But let’s get started with the first one out and work my way to the winner from there. You can let me know your thoughts in the comments.

 

David was the first one out and didn’t leave much of an impact on the game outside of trying to do some moves, but ultimately being hated enough that he was taken out. Most people can’t be hated unless they are bad in some way so I’m going to put him as a villain as a result.

 

Garrett was too much of a dumb player to rank that well either way with being a hero or villain. It is not like he’s trying to do something right when he was getting voted out with an idol in his possession. Thus, he is neither a hero nor a villain.

 

Brice was known at one point for doing a Survivor website where he liked to throw shade at people. He may not have made much of an influence on the game, but I do think that he was a villain and one that I like as a player nonetheless.

 

J’Tia is effectively a female Brandon Hantz the way she played the game. She didn’t last as long (which is great), but she is so undoubtedly a villain that one can’t even make a case for anything else that has seen her play the game in the end or remembers her even a little.

 

Cliff was one of the notable celebrities who had played Survivor. Some make it further than others. He was voted out after his tribe threw a challenge. But I feel that it wasn’t too hard to keep track of where he ranks on this list as he was clearly a hero to me in my mind.

 

Lindsey is known for being a quitter, even though her reasoning doesn’t seem to make as much sense in the end. I thought about maybe putting her as a villain, but am not sure that would be a good label. All I know is that she’s not really a hero either, so I have to rank her as neither.

 

Alexis is a nice person from what I remember, even if she didn’t wind lasting that long in the game for reasons that I don’t remember as well right now. I’d still rank her on the hero side of players based on what little I remember of her.

 

Sarah was a different player the first time around versus what she would become in later seasons. She kind of does flip between what type of player she is at times since she adapts better sometimes at the game than she does at other times throughout the game. This time around, I’d say she’s neither.

 

Morgan also didn’t seem to have that much of an influence on the game despite making it further than a lot of other people in it. I mean, I could read the posts that I wrote on Cagayan again and probably will at some point in the future, but won’t right now. In terms of being a hero or villain, she is neither to me in the end at this point in time.

 

L J seemed to make his mark on the game the same way a lot of other players this season weren’t as well known as they could be, even making it as far as he did. I’d have to say that what I remember of him makes him seem like a hero in the end.

 

Jeremiah, also known as Jeremy, was quite a good player. It is hard to even explain how he wound up on the wrong side of the numbers since his tribe was doing well before the merge, but the game changes a lot throughout the game. I rank him as a hero.

 

Jefra was kind of boring or at least seemed that way since she didn’t have much footage of her game shown in the end. I’d have to say that she wasn’t that much of a hero or a villain and was thus only neither in the search for a label for him.

 

Tasha in this season was a great player that could have made it further if she either won more or had gotten on the right numbers this time she played. While returning certainly made her a different player, this season around, she’s clearly a hero.

 

Trish is quite a character and there wasn’t much to her that we can’t say for one reason or another had been the way that it was. I hope that makes sense to some people. I can’t quite put her on one side of the split that easily, but do think that she better fits in with being a villain than anything else.

 

Spencer was much better the first time he played despite making it further the second time that he played. It can be a curse, really, to be a better player when you don’t make it as far. This season, it was clear that he was the hero of the season.

 

Kass was clearly a villain this time around to the point that calling her something else wouldn’t even make that much sense. Do you think that anything else would work, either this season or any other one as well? I know she played again, but can’t think of what might have changed then.

 

Woo will be remembered for being a dumb player who could have easily won if only he didn’t win the final immunity challenge. That’s ironic, right? He was so concerned about playing an honorable game that he didn’t care that it would cost him that win. That’s what makes him a hero, if still a dumb one.

 

Tony might be one of my favorite villains who ever played the game. He was quite a villain who was in control of the game so much despite not even winning immunity individually. It is hard not to like him despite his evil ways.

 

Well, there you have it. I don’t know what else to say and am sorry that I had to rush this post here at the last minute and won’t be able to get rid of the last minute edits that I’m always having to do now that the new blogger exists. Ugh. Let’s not talk about that now, but save that for other posts. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
