Rebecca was okay for the first few episodes. Yeah it kinda sucked that she was the driving force behind getting Sekou out in the first episode, but I liked everyone on that tribe so there was no winning solution for me. But she seemed pretty decent in challenges and a likable person overall. Then she just gradually faded from the edit, and when she was shown, it was for negative things, like sucking at swimming challenges and not doing much around camp. She was so ignored later on that her last confessional was three episodes before her boot episode, and, as a result of the bottle twist, she didn't even get her final words aired. So I feel bad for her that she got really screwed over by the edit, but the fact remains that, entertainment-wise, she was fairly useless. Still, the fact that she wasn't just a completely miserable human being like most of the people already listed is enough to get her (just barely) into my top 300.
299. Mary Sartain (Fans vs. Favorites, 19th place)
When it comes to laughable edits, you don't get much worse than Mary. Only two people in Survivor history have gotten an INV edgic rating in the first episode and been eliminated in episode 2, and Mary is one of them (the other, for the record, is Kel from Australia). And while this doesn't seem too bad considering Mary was pretty boring and insignificant, it's what they chose to do with it that makes it hilarious. Most of Mary's exposure in her boot episode came from other people talking about her, and it was mostly just passive things, even Kathy remarked, "Who is Mary?" when Joel suggested that they vote her out. And then she got voted out and in the next episode, when Jeff announces to the Favorites that, "Mary [was] voted out at the last tribal council," Eliza even remarks, "Who was Mary?" And Sucks has turned this invisibility into a running joke. And even I think it's pretty funny. As you can see, I put her over most of the other people famous for their incredibly invisible. But the point stands that she herself didn't do too much, so I can't put her much higher.
298. Melinda Hyder (Exile Island, 15th place)
Okay, let me get this out of the way first - when we first saw Melinda on screen, did anyone else immediately thing that they had brought back Morgan from the previous season except that she had gained about 100 pounds? Seriously, other than the obvious weight difference, these two look very similar. Other than that, Melinda is one of the two most forgettable people from Exile Island (and yes, the other is coming up next). She was booted in the second episode, and both tribes she was on had a ton of personality coming from every other member, so she was pretty much faded into the background. All I really remember her for is for saying "There are a hundred reasons to keep Tina." I do respect, however, that she didn't just lay down and die when things looked hopeless for her. She saw an opportunity (in this case Shane wanting to quit) and tried to go for it, but unfortunately it didn't work out for her. Still, she was pretty forgettable in a season filled with huge personalities.
