Lost Survivor

SPOILERS :-(

Last exit for SURVIVOR apologists: "Survivor: Nicaragua" blows. There's just no way around that fact.

Brenda Lowe may be the most preternaturally pretty cast member I've ever seen on the show, but there is no one to really get behind in this season. The show lives and dies with casting. Not just good players but interesting players with compelling chemistry amidst them. I'm sure if you'd shuffled some of this cast in with some other seasons, or just with other people, they could be more engaging. But the elusive element of chemistry in this season is completely non-existent.

NaOnka Mixon (can't even bear to post a picture of her) is probably the WORST player ever. In every sense. A lot of people may have hated Russell Hantz, but I don't see how anyone can deny that NaOnka is the single most loathsome character that the show has ever filmed. A stupid, shitty player. The worst of humanity. When the apocalypse hits, she'll be the first person killing children for their candy. There is nothing redeeming about her. They better have a good tape-delay for the live finale because I'm sure she'll be cursing up a nonsensical storm when the audience boos her to death.

Alas, I've got to see this through because it's fucking Survivor. Maybe it'll be better now that Nay's quit. I've never seen a character exit the game in such a spectacularly shitty manner, either.
