Inviso 11/29/18 5:47:47 PM #105:	32. Wendell Holland (Survivor: Ghost Island, 1st Place) With the sole exception of HHH, in terms of vote-based reality shows, this was the year of the bitter jury. Ghost Island, Celebrity Big Brother, and Big Brother 20 all featured a dominant mastermind player that ran the season and made it all the way to the finals, only to lose to their less strategic second-in-command. And in all three instances, I LOVED it. Sure, Marissa still sucked, but at least she wasnt ROSS. Sure, Kaycee was the best option of a bad batch, but at least she wasnt TYLER. But in the case of one Wendell Holland, Jr.hes the only one of the three winners that I currently like for who he is, not just because he beat Domenick in the finals. I mean, it helps that I dont currently hate Domenick (well see how Im feeling a few years down the line, when the feeling of the season was so boring that anyone with a personality was a welcome addition wears off like it did in Redemption Island), but Wendell was fine in his own right. As it stands, Wendell was a nice, calm, rational guy who was friendly with most of the people around camp and played a strong social game. He used his furniture-building know-how to craft comforts around camp that made a particularly dreary season all the more amenable for his fellow tribe mates. While Domenick was the face of their alliance, running around and making fake idols and whatnot, Wendell bounced ideas off him and found an idol of his very own. What can I say, I enjoyed the Domenick/Wendell bromance and found their friendly rivalry enjoyable to watch. The ONE decent aspect of the endgame was that they both made it to the finals, so we got that tie vote at the very end, which at least give a blip of a pulse to this lifeless season. So ultimately, Wendell was a fine winner, and though he had his moments in the middle of the season where his dominance (alongside Domenick) became a bit overbearing, it was never SO stifling that it turned me against him outright. Was he the best character of the season? Of course not. He was far too normal. But he was a completely satisfying winner at the very least. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier.
