1. Lauren Rimmer (Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, 7th Place)

Its difficult for me to look back on Laurens time in the game and not marvel at the fact that she got seventh place, and it took a hidden immunity idol to get her out. If you looked at the cast before the season started (particularly the breakdown of the tribes), youd be hard-pressed to envision her as anything other than a first boot. Seriously, I know shes not super old, but compared to the rest of the Hustlers tribe (whose ages average out to around 24 years old), crusty, hard-working, 37-year-old, mother Lauren certainly stood out.

And after Simone proved to somehow be an even bigger outsider than Lauren, it seemed inevitable that a tribe consisting of two buff guys, a girl who knew one of said buff guys pre-show, and a scrawny nerd who wedged himself in good with the OTHER buff guy, would choose to boot the obvious outsider from their group. But nope! After griping and bitching about Patrick (she doesnt trust redheads, dontchaknow), Lauren managed to do the impossible and survive a second tribal council against one of the tribes biggest physical assets.

For the next portion of the season, Lauren wound up in a 3-1-1 minority, so she got relatively downplayed, but still, she was always great for a cutting remark via her take-no-prisoners attitude. And though she wanted to keep her options open with the Healers, it became apparent that it would do her no good to side with a five-person alliance as number six or seven, so she joined forces with her fellow Hustlers and the Heroes to Pagong the Healers for a few rounds.
