9. Omarosa Manigault (Celebrity Big Brother 1, 5th Place)

Id like to start this write-up by stating that nothing about this ranking has anything to do with Omarosa as a person. As a person, I think shes a self-serving attention whore. Nor does this write-up have anything to do with her stints on the Apprentice. She was a drama queen in Apprentice 1 and took her role a bit too far in my opinion, she was a horrendous bitch in Celebrity Apprentice 1, to the point where she made Piers Morgan look like a saint, and she admittedly got fucked over in Celebrity Apprentice All-Stars, because Trump has a hard-on for Dennis Rodman, for some reason. But none of that has anything to do with her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.

Going into Big Brother, I honestly expected the worst from Omarosa. I mean, this is a show where we get to see the vast majority of events as they occur, rather than just an edited product that creates heroes and villains. YetOmarosa wound up as one of the few saving graces of the season, and the only saving grace that ultimately MATTERED to the final outcome. Not bad for a character who, lets face it, was not originally intended to be part of a cast CLEARLY planned for only twelve people.

So right off the bat, Omarosa was a crusader for all the best people to dominate the season. She was part of the female core that wanted James Maslow gone first and foremost, which wouldve saved us for a season of his bullshit. Sadly, Shannon overplayed and wound up fucking herself over by flipping the vote to save James, but Omarosa got her back. Despite having a huge target on her back as a shit-stirrer, Omarosa faked sickness and asthma to reduce that target (which led to some amazing Julie Chen shade when she fake-coughed while addressing Omarosa during an eviction episode.) And then she totally rattled Shannon by pointing out her duplicitous nature, leading up to Shannons boot.

Up until that point, Ross had taken control of the house and was running the show. And it sucked. People like Ross, James, Mark and Marissa held all the power. But somehow, Omarosa won an ENDURANCE competition to take over as Head of Household. BUT then Ross won the unnecessary double veto, which meant Omarosa couldnt execute any of her plans without completely blowing up what little chance she had, and Metta took the bullet instead. But thats all good, because two rounds later, Omarosa won AGAIN, defying the odds and THIS time managing to do some good for the house. Sure, Ross ruined everything by winning veto AGAIN, but at least this time it wasnt within a second of Omarosa sending his ass out of the house for good. And booting James was almost as good by that point.

That HoH win meant that at the very least, Omarosa made it to the finale. That meant that literally EVERY episode had a clip of her shit-talking the Trump administration. You KNOW thats the only reason why she was cast, and it became a running gag that made me laugh EVERY time we got a scene of her shitting all over someone new. Shes so hilariously petty and spiteful, and I loved it. Almost as much as her joining the crusade to deny Ross a win, and voting for Marissa. Sure, Marissa wasnt very satisfying, but at least she wasnt ROSS. So yeah, overall, Omarosa was a brilliant addition to Celebrity Big Brother, and its BY FAR her best appearance thus far in life.

10. Alan Ball (Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, 15th Place)

In HHH, Joe was definitely cast to be a Diet version of Tony Vlachos. He even LOOKS reasonably similar (though he lacks some of Tonys inherent athleticism). But in terms of actually BEING a second coming of Tony Vlachos? You cant do much better than Alan Ball. I figured hed be a reasonable and level-headed former football player, going into the season. Boy was I wrong. Within the first episode, he was pretty much the only person to generate any quality content, as he got into a four-person alliance with Ben/JP/Ashley, accused JP of finding an idol, forced JP to strip naked to search him for the idol, and then left that entire alliance on shaky ground to the point where Chrissy weaseled her way into the majority.

Even if hed done nothing else from that point on, Id still rank Alan reasonably high, but then the swap came. And it became a battle of Tony vs. Tony, with Joe and Alan lining up their soldiers to go to war. Joe won, of course, because he actually DID find an idol and could read Ashleys eyes (baby girl). But that didnt mean that Alan fighting with Joe wasnt still amazing. Even better was the fact that, for one episode, Ashley was forced to make peace with her rival and work with him for the betterment of BOTH their games. And then he gets idoled out, rendering the entire exercise all for naught. Thats great. I hope Alan gets to come back for a second-chance season someday, because he was one of the better aspects of HHHs pre-merge.

Responding to LMS specifically, while I did praise BttF in my write-up, I still think that, for all the praise and 97% on RottenTomatoes that it gets...it's overrated given the quality of the writing and characterization. I mean, it's fun, but so much of the movie features characters that feel like one-note caricatures, to make the plot easier to tell. That doesn't RUIN the movie for me, but it definitely is a knock against it.

11. Lucas & Brittany (The Amazing Race 30, 5th Place)

Almost had FOUR teams from TAR30 (4/5 of the final five) make my top ten. Im not sure if thats praise for a great season of Amazing Race, or scorn for how shitty the rest of the year was overall. Probably a little bit of both. The point is, despite just missing out on the top ten, Lucas & Brittany were wonderful. Brittany was an emotional ball of energy who tied herself to a rigid (and admittedly somewhat dickish, hence missing the top ten) partner in Lucas. They had cute little quirks, like Brittany saying pineapple whenever Lucas was being too much of a dick for his own good. And after bottomfeeding for the first half of the race, they came back and showed some strength, leading into Lucas proposal in Bali. It was really sweet.

I also loved their inadvertent rivalry with Cody & Jessica. It reminded me of the one-sided rivalry between Nick & Starr and Terence & Sarah. Theres always something funny about one-sided rivalries, because you have one team thats cheering whenever some misfortune befalls their enemyand then that enemy is just whatever. That, to me, is hilarious. And then, for all his rigidity, Lucas wound up getting undone by his own hubrisin forgetting to grab his passport when they were departing their plane for a connecting flight. Was it the best ending to their storyline? Not reallybut at the time, they were worse than three of the remaining teams, so better these two than one of my top three for the season.

12. Stephanie Johnson (Survivor: Ghost Island, 16th Place)

Ultimately, I think in any other season, I would probably wind up ranking Stephanie about ten to twenty spots lower. Shes great and all, but shes not THAT great. She just stands out because of how utterly terrible and devoid of personality Ghost Island was overall. However, Stephanie gave us five episodes as one of the best characters of the season, so lets rejoice for her presence and the fact that she didnt wind up being the first boot trainwreck I expected based on her pre-season material.

Steph was the sole redeeming factor of the exceptionally bland pretty alliance on Malolo, mainly because she had a little bit of a mean streak and a personality to her. She was the one who schmoozed Jacob when hed been stuck on Ghost Island, and found out that he had no idol and thus no threat. And while her allies were worried that she might capitalize on her newfound friendship with Jacob, she coldly stabbed him in the back that same episode.

Sadly, the swap really fucked Malolo over, and Steph wound up in a 5-4 minority with an immovable alliance of Navitis, deadest on Pagonging the Malolos as much as they could. But while Brendan and Jenna existed, and Michael gamebotted all over the place, Steph played up her emotions. We got scenes of her drawing on the beach and praying that shed last another day. Alas, it was not to be. Steph getting sent to Ghost Island just cemented her as a big threat that needed to go (not Michael, whod already found an idol and played it to gun for Bradleynope, STEPH was the threat.) But yeah, her spunk and emotions brought some much-needed life to a desperate seasonjust not enough for a top ten berth.

13. Cole Medders (Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, 10th Place)

I dont typically root for the young, attractive guys on Survivor, if only because far too many of them are edited down to boring mannequins whose sole purpose is to be somewhat good at challenges and occasionally string together a coherent sentence. That being said, occasionally casting strikes gold and finds a character that manages to surpass his casting archetype in every way possible. With Cole, you have a guy who, on paper, is a Healer, a wilderness guide, and seems like just a generic, all-around sweetheart. Hes the type of guy whos cast more for looks than personality. Yet he wound up arguably becoming the star of the first half of HHH.

Basically, while Joe was off doing his Diet Tony Vlachos thing, he confided in Cole that hed found the hidden immunity idol. Thats great news for Cole! It put him in a similar position on the Healers Tribe to Devon on the Hustlers Tribe. And even better, Cole hooks up with Jessica as his official showmance. So youve got a power couple who are in good with the guy holding the idol. Great. And what does Cole do with this information? Well he tries to stage a coup against Joe, of course. This isnt a bad idea in theory, but Cole basically spills the secret information he has to the entire tribe, revealing himself to be kind of a strategic idiot. And thus begins the storyline of Cole cant keep his fucking mouth shut, and Jessica suffers because of this.

Through the rest of his time in the game, Cole is consistently portrayed as this dumbass who runs his mouth and spills information at any opportunity. Jessica finds a hidden advantage and shares it with Cole? Why, Coles gonna share that with Ben AND Lauren (the two outsiders) to gain their trust. And then Jessica is frustrated AGAIN. Meanwhile, Cole commits the cardinal sin of eating too much while simultaneously being too lazy around camp, which further pisses off the people who hes relying on when the merge rolls around. Jessica gets blindsided because thats just how life works for showmance pairs, and then we get Cole fighting Chrissy for a hidden immunity idol that isnt even there, while still catching all the blowback for having it.

Coles game was an absolute trainwreck, and I LOVED that the editors pulled zero punches in highlighting him as a trainwreck. In any other year, this storyline might rank him even higherbut unfortunately for Cole, there was another player that went even BIGGER. You all know who Im talking about, and well get there soon. But not TOO soon.

14. Devon Pinto (Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, 4th Place)

I cant believe I came out of this season having actually ENJOYED someone like Devon. On paper, he wasnt the most interesting or charismatic of players, but he just felt like a nice guy who was able to hide behind an aw shucks surferbro persona. But as the season went along, I found myself extremely impressed by him, to the point where I was rooting for his success, going into the final episode. This is a guy who started out on the Hustler Tribe (seriously, the tribe designations were SO fucking arbitrary this season), and he teamed up with obnoxious Ryanyet I still loved him. It helped that he showed strategic insight, which is something PAINFULLY lacking in characters of his archetype. He came up with Operation: Ben the Spy, was right in there with Lauren in flipping on the NuSokos, and he pulled off what SHOULD have been a season highlight, by throwing a vote at Mike at the final five. Sadly, Devon got fucked by the bullshit fire-making twist, cause I really wanted to see if he could beat Ryan and Chrissy in the finals.

15. Angie Rockstar Lantry (Big Brother 20, 10th Place)

I definitely GET why people hate Rockstar. She was cast to be the living embodiment of SJWs, and she served that purpose in the most cartoonish of fashions. However, she was just REALLY entertaining for as long as she lasted, in large part because she was such an overwhelming cocktail of emotional instability. If you enjoyed the blow-ups at Brett, that wasnt because of BRETT. Sure, he started shit, but then he just stood back and blandly repeated the same line. Rockstar was the one who erupted and gave us wonderful memes like DIS-GUHST-ING and ON YM DAUGHTERS BIRTHDAY?! And to make it even funnier, by her eventual eviction, Rockstar went out of the house believing Brett had her back forsome reason. She was a wonderful trainwreck.

More than that though, and this is the part that Level 6 fans seem to hate the mostbut Rockstar was pretty much RIGHT in her assessments of that alliance all season long. Guys like Brett have life handed to them on a silver platter? Uhyeah. They do. Brett had people falling over themselves to save them, and the fans thought he was just the most amazing character everexcept for the OTHER attractive young white guy in the cast, who voted Brett out as a threat. Angela has pretty privilege? Again, fucking YES. Angelas goodbye message was meant to be snarky, but it fucking proved Rockstars fucking point. If an emotionless bitch like Angela looked like Rockstar, she NEVER wouldve made it to the final four.

Which brings me to one final thought: Rockstar and Scottie were arguably the two most conventionally unattractive houseguests in BB20. They were the weirdo outcasts of the season. And wouldnt you know it, but they were the two biggest punching bags for not just the pretty, popular alliance, but their own allies as well. So yeah, Rockstars not wrong in her assessments, even though she was caustic in the delivery of her opinions. If she was a bit more charismatic, maybe the fans wouldnt have hated her so much, but as it stands, Im fine with her as is.

16. April & Sarah (The Amazing Race 30, 10th Place)

Within one episode of beginning the race, these two already hated each other and were at each others throats, reminiscent of a similarly-amazing ??? & Sarah team from twenty seasons prior. I dont remember which one was which, but I remember the blonde sniping at the brunettes utter incompetence through leg one, right up until they beat out the cheerleaders in an awesome footrace to avoid elimination. From there, it was more spite and hatred, all leading up to them miraculously making it to the pitstop in ninth place (see? THAT is how you do a bottom-feeding story arc, Eric & Daniel). Unfortunately, this season introduced the stupidity of the head-to-head challenge, meaning that despite the brothers falling apart completely and putting themselves in last place, they managed to win a single task and stay in the race. I REALLY wish we got to see more of the Goat Yoga meltdownsthey were awesome.

17. Simone Nguyen (Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, 17th Place)

People always talk about Simone being a dud on the same level as JP or Katrina or Roark or Desi, but I feel like those people are too hung up on her invisibility in episode one. Yes, its not a GREAT edit, but she was a HUGE character in episode two. Her whole story was about being socially awkward and taking an aqua dump (the death knellpoor Darnell), and it was pretty hilarious to watch this professional social justice warrior trying to fit in with a tribe based around the idea of being hard-working Hustlers. Overall, Simone just seemed like a sweetheart who I kinda wish had lasted longer as a thorn in her tribes side. An Eliza, if you will. But yeah, she was nowhere NEAR invisible enough to warrant cries of irrelevance.

18. Chrissy Hofbeck (Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, 2nd Place)

Chrissys a weird one because she seems like the kind of player I SHOULD love unconditionally, but there are just certain aspects of her personality that Im unable to overlook, thus landing her lower than perhaps she deserves compared to other HHH castaways that place higher. Throughout the pre-merge, I was all aboard Team Chrissy. Shes right in that wheelhouse of players Im almost guaranteed to love: an older woman whos kinda snarky and manages to overcome their early stigma that might otherwise characterize her as weak. Despite being an obvious target, she kept her head down and played it smart, managing to avoid the early drama and wiggle her way into a solid alliance.

This continued after the swap, as she bonded with Ryan over his gifting of an immunity idol to her on the first day. Together, the duo roped in JP and managed to shanghai Roark and Ali out of the game. While normally Id hate anyone that willingly aligns themselves with Ryan Ulrich, Im willing to give Chrissy a pass because she was an arrogant trainwreck in her own right. The grade school level voting confessional against Roark was unintentionally hilarious to a wonderful degree. And she continued to amaze at the merge, when she blatantly talked strategy to Ben at the feast, in earshot of the other castaways, under the understanding that they cant hear us.

It was Chrissys social awkwardness that helped liven up the middle of the merge, because she was just so sour and bitchy all the time, and I loved it. I loved her calling out Ben for being too bossy (which he got in her face and told her he wasnt), and I loved how, after she was blindsided, she robotically tried to strategize with Lauren, and got told off to her face. I also loved how she avoided constantly being targeted by winning immunity after immunity after immunity, despite being the woman who vomited during the very first challenge of the season.

What hurts Chrissy for me though, and this may just be unintentional, but I hated the presumed anti-woman attitude she brought to the season. It always annoys me when youve got those female players who hate other women and seem to play to be the last woman standing. With the exception of Simone (on another tribe) and Lauren (victim of Bens idol), Chrissy voted out EVERY other woman in the cast, and often time was the one leading the charge against them, even when it seemed completely illogical (see: Ashley). I know its stupid and irrational on my part, but Ive just watched too much Survivor and seen too many juries automatically reward a male player for doing the same things they would lambaste a female player for doingI just hate watching a strong female character shoot herself in the foot like Chrissy did. And I cant overlook that. Still wish she beat Ben though, by a LOT.

19. Ariadna Gutierrez (Celebrity Big Brother 1, 3rd Place)

Ari was a surprise in this season. In a cast filled with volatile personalities and giant egos, Ari wound up being the only real sweetheart in the cast. She was above-average in competitions, even going so far as to win the third HoH, and I appreciated the fact that, despite her turning against Shannon as part of Rosss dumb bullshit, she was at least straight-forward about it. I appreciate when an HoH puts up the players they want out straight away, instead of backdooring, because it means instead knowing the outcome of the week as early as Saturday (although again, CBB had a weird schedule), theres a CHANCE of things getting switched up. But yeah, Ari was likable, she had the balls to make a big move without pussyfooting around it, and she had a fun little ho-mance with Brandi. The only real shame was Ari getting cut JUST shy of the endgame, giving us an awful final two. But still, she lightened the mood in an extreme dour house, and I appreciated that.

We only got four episodes of these two, but they managed to prove themselves as lovable fan favorites in their brief stint on the show. The cast had a bit of an imbalance in terms of the gender ratio, but much like TAR23, the MM cast was actually pretty good (although unlike TAR23, there wasnt a truly terrible MM team like the Afghanimals to go WAY too deep in the season.) As such, Cedric & Shawn never reached a point where they frustrated me. They were mostly bottom-feeders, but still managed to keep things interesting through their incompetence in episode 1 (breaking a rule that I feel other teams have broken and didnt get penalized for), or just struggling with the physical aspect of being the oldest team on a highly-physical leg 3. These two just always kept a positive attitude despite the season not going their way, and I appreciated that they ran the race the way they wanted to and added some positivity before the more aggressive teams began to bristle at once another.

21. Jessica Johnston (Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, 12th Place)

Jessica is yet another in a long line of girl whos closely aligned with an alpha male, but people are either afraid of him having an idol, or think hes needed for challenges boots on Survivor. But while sometimes this archetype leads to a Mary Sartain getting completely ignored, Jessica was a fun character. It definitely helped that she was the straight man to Coles vapid stupidity. They hooked up early on, but it soon became clear that Cole was a complete idiot when it came to strategy, and Jessica didnt want to get stuck dealing with his shit. Episode after episode, it amused me to watch an exasperated Jessica wishing she hadnt decided to showmance the only cute guy on her tribe. She definitely had a good head on her shoulders, but that showmance still bit her in the butt when she became an easy default boot at the merge. I still liked her though and could see her making a big improvement if she came back for another season.

22. Brandi Glanville (Celebrity Big Brother 1, 7th Place)

Brandis sole role in this season was to serve as a drunken whirlwind of unhinged fury, and I think she filled that role well. Within an episode, shed already established herself as a righteous opponent to James Maslows bullshit, not giving a fuck about his role in Big Time Rush, or whatever the fuck gives him his celebrity status. From that point on, every episode felt like it needed to include some scene of Brandi getting drunk and bashing James, or just generally behaving in a belligerent fashion. This amused me, obviously.

Unfortunately, Celebrity Big Brother came on the heels of Big Brother 19, and it followed the same pattern that BB19 did. You had your Paul (Ross) who built a strong alliance and alienated outsiders (Keshia/Omarosa/Shannon), and he made a bunch of two-person alliances to insulate himself while simultaneously turning the rest of the house against each other. Brandi was an easy puppet to manipulate into going against James/Mark, and then she became disposable when she opted to cast a pity vote for Shannon to stay in round three. Sure, she tried to hook up with Omarosa to get the all-girls thing going again, but she just got wrecked when Ross railroaded her a few rounds later.

I dunno. Brandi had all the makings of being a fun character in terms of her personality, but her gameplay just dampened that volatility. She wasnt good enough at competitions to be valuable to anyone, and she wound up getting booted relatively early into the season, only to turn around and cast one of the few non-bitter votes for Ross to win. She just isnt a perfect character to me, so I feel compelled to rank her lower than perhaps she deserves.

See, I can appreciate Andrew SOMEWHAT in Pearl Islands, because his tribe sucked. But Cambodia, he was just such a sour asshole that I couldn't enjoy whatsoever.

23. Ashley Nolan (Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, 6th Place)

Its amazing to me that Ashley became as big of a character as she was, and in fact, her edit is one of the reasons why Im not 100% against HHH like I could be. See, on paper, Ashley isnot the most attractive young girl Survivor could possibly cast. Shes not UGLY, but when you compare her to Simone, Jessica, Desi and Ali from this same season, shes very average. And I feel like when Survivor casts young women, theyre looking for sex appeal above all else, and any strategic acumen is just a pleasant surprise. In other words, I feel like Ashley was cast to be fodder for the players producers liked more.

However, Ashley is a lot like Jaime Dugan in China, in that by all rights, she shouldve been relegated to the background of the seasonBUT by sheer virtue of inserting herself into important moments, she got herself a solid edit. First, she aligned herself with the only other young person on the Heroes Tribe, which made people think they were a showmance and got Ashley targeted as a decoy boot against Katrina. Frightened by this vision of her role, she tried her best to distance herself from JPbut fortunately for her, the Heroes won the next few immunity challenges.

In a hilarious bout of irony, Ashleys rival from the Heroes Tribe, Alan, wound up on her team after the swap, and she had to rely on him as a close ally against the Joe/Desi duo. Sure, she had Devon (whose surfer mentality meshed well with her lifeguard status), but it didnt matter if she couldnt keep Alan in check. But they kissed and made upJUST in time for Joe to play an idol and take Alan out, because Joe fears other alpha males. Somehow, the girl who would NORMALLY be the victim of such idol play managed to survive, and subsequently make the merge.

From there, Ashley kinda fell into the role youd expect from someone of her archetypejust a number in a larger alliance. Joe even went to her and called her a sheep at one point. So what does Ashley do? She joins a counter-alliance and helps blindside the dominant group on the tribe, and then takes out Joe right after. Girl was making MOVES, AND she was making moves that actively benefitted her. She waited until the right time to flip and then flipped to better her position, which is SO much more impressive than just making moves to build a rsum.

Of course, Ashley flew too close to the sun by targeting Ben just a LITTLE too early (and being open about it as well.) The alliance shouldve stuck together and booted either Ryan or Chrissy, THEN think about taking out Ben when they have the numbers. That mightve alleviated Bens paranoia and prevented his eventual idol spree as well. This misstep led to Laurens boot, and then Ashley immediately after (in a bizarre choice since again, Mike was the biggest threat for the majority at that point.) Still, it gave us a HILARIOUS Ponderosa video, and Ashley voted for Chrissy to win, so it all works out in the end I suppose.
