IDK how you guys run it here but I know the Aussies make a deal outta this every season, with all the hosts casting weighted votes each episode and keeping a running total and shiz. I know I for one, seriously appreciate my 'Noob of the Season' award. It takes pride of place above my fireplace and still I polish it every day.

So I'm curious as to where you guys rank the players purely for entertainment value as opposed to strategy, social game etc. So early boots, underdogs or terrible strategists can easily be high in your rankings.

For me it's;
Ted > Penny > Rob > Joanna > Helen > Jan > Shawna > Jake > Erin > Christy > Jeanne > Daniel > Brian > Ryan > Ken > Butch

The first four pretty much are self explanatory but I feel like I need to justify Helen's high spot. Her meltdowns were mostly in private with Brian, but when she was freaking out over Penny or Ted it's just entertainment gold :D

How does this rack up against your views?

Rob isn't even close to Fan Favorite lol. He screwed his alliance way too many times.

It's been Ted and Penny. I'd lean more towards Penny just because of her likability and underdog status against Helen.

Five blindsides in a row is a lot down to Rob's gullibility. Plus a lot of the public fighting early is him too. Him v Penny as an overall arc. Him v Dan. And the few attempts at call out threads were him aswell. He has brought a lot of entertainment to the game.

Yes, but it was more of a Jason Siska/Erik R. type of entertainment. His rivalry with Penny was a letdown because it was so contrived. Him vs. Dan was non-existent thanks to Dan. You're basically awarding Rob because he's stupid.

I never argued that Rob is a bad character. I think is was crucial part of the season, even if I have no idea who is playing him since I'm not sure who replaced Alex Shallow.

Fan favorite usually comes down to either being ultra likable, a super villain or a strategic force. Rob fits into the goofy character category.

Penny for likability and amazing confessionals, Ted for being a strategic force and the main source of chaos in the season and possibly Helen because of her being a strategic force. Hell, I'd even throw Joanna as a possibility, just because she was so popular in our blogs and we were the only two people who kept up with it.

Can I weigh in with how much of the real Joanna the rest of the Jurors finally get to see now that she's nothing to protect?

I just wish she was like this publicly all game long.

I don't know why she thought playing an UTR game was such a good idea. That's really not her and was a terrible idea. I hope she knows that now.

Haha so the 2 Aussies are Fan Favourites? :D

By the way, Ted played this game exactly how he played Aus Stranded as Erik. He just creates havoc. Definitely the most unpredictable player I've ever hosted. He won Fan Favourite in season 2 of Aus Stranded.

He' pretty damn awesome. As was Penny. But I expected it from Penny. ted I'd never seen in action properly.

Also, Penny is sooo insulting you in her confesh right now :P

It's all warranted. The Lisi avatar is UGLY!!
