Morgan Ranks the Cast

17. Ingrid
Season: Four Corners
Placement: 4th
Edgic: MOR

I honestly don't have a lot to say about Ingrid. I'm someone who can respect an UTR game, and she played a great one. She never stepped on toes, she always got herself in the right alliance, and she probably would've made the final 3 if it weren't for the fact that she hadn't really made social connections. That's probably her weakest point. She gets in a position and doesn't reinforce it. She's a challenge beast and had hilarious unintentional moments (my favorite being her posting about her love for One Direction and Annie bitching about how she didn't do a challenge or something, but she could make 'time out of her day' to post about One Direction). I know Ingrid from way back when, and she's a good kid. Maybe she'll play again some day and be proactive. I can't imagine what she'd do if she were both a strategic and competitive powerhouse.

16. Taylor
Season: Four Corners
Placement: 7th
Edgic: MORN

It kind of pains me to eliminate Taylor this early, but there are just 15 people who I found to be more epic than him. Taylor is a prime example of someone who got very comfortable in his position and got screwed because of it, amongst other factors. He and Faith both started out as formidable allies on original Aqua, and they both seemed to be the ones who wanted to be in charge. When they booted Jackie, Taylor was probably the one who I thought would win the entire gam.e At the merge, Taylor and Faith were both hand-in-hand- they really liked the Ventus people and sacrificed their better judgement to eliminate Owen than to eliminate a Ventus. They got pulled into a fly trap. Taylor ranks lower than Faith because he wasn't as entertaining to be honest. Taylor had a strict plan and put his trust into people, and when Henry won immunity for the round- he got screwed. It was great though to see him choose Henry over Faith and vote her out- it seemed poetic.

15. Laela
Season: Angels & Demons
Placement: 11th
Edgic: OTTN

Oh, Laela. Probably the only underdog in the history of ever to get an OTTN rating. She started out at the literal bottom of her tribe as her only ally Sofie got voted out round 2. She then creates some alliance that no one even remembers or considered to be a real thing because everyone was aligned except for her and Raphael. She went around acting like a total boss bitch when in reality she was just surviving because Gregory decided that there were bigger fish to fry, or shittier fish in the case of Ariel. And this bitch actually would've survived if Michael hadn't won immunity at the final 11. She had such a luxurious reality check when she got voted out. She was so bitter she PMed the entire Demons tribe that John had an idol, which got her banned 4 life as Laela but I digress.

As a side note apparently she had some really bad real life shit going on and probably would've made it very far if it wasn't for that, possibly replacing Selena in the group. She was a star in her own right and had great confessionals so I'm glad she came back for season 2 only to get pretty much the same shaft <3.

14. Oslo
Season: Angels & Demons
Placement: 13th
Edgic: MORM

This is kind of sad to write about, but here we go! Oslo started out on the Demons tribe not really fitting in with anyone, mostly because the main alliance got decided from like Day 1 and he wasn't in it. However, he/Piers/Decan had something on the side and he definitely thought that he was golden with that. What screwed him in the game was nabbing the idol. Only he, Amy, and Piers were on at the time the idol was found- and he got it. He showed it to Decan & Piers, and after a while of convincing Decan sold Oslo out to Amy to buy himself some credit I guess.

Oslo hated his tribe essentially for being antisocial cunts, and it was totally justified. Amy didn't trust him and wanted him gone because he had an idol and a mind of his own, and she created a 3-2-2 split which ultimately blindsided him and sent him packing . RIP Sam. Luckily Oslo's legend lived on in Piers, who erupted as a star when Oslo left.

13. Selena
Season: Angels & Demons
Placement: 2nd
Edgic: MORP

I have no idea why I gave Selena a MORP edgic rating. I think it's because I thought she was going to win. Looking back, she was the Katie Gallagher of season 1, and even though it was glorious, she in no way deserved to be MORP. She was an elitist hagress who sucked balls at challenges. I'm actually going to go back and change the edgic and shit, sorry babe.

Selena started off being pretty MOR bland, but at some point a huge rivalry between her and Michael started. I think Michael called Selena ugly or something to someone and it got back to her and since then the target of her hatred was Michael. She was pretty responsible for getting Gregory on the hate train. A lot of Selena's 'story' revolves around Michael, because he was the vote that cost her the game. Don't you love it when shit comes full circle?

One of the oddest, and I guess respectable, things about Selena is how she was always able to wedge herself in between the top and bottom of the pecking order. It's like she's a kernel in the center of the cob and, as both sides are being gnawed off, she's just sitting there bitching about Michael. She was friends with literally everyone on her tribe and very well liked. She didn't speak to the Demons much because she didn't really see a point in that. She was completely willing to go to the final 3 with an obvious final 2 pairing of John & Gregory which kind of hurts her legacy IMO, but I guess in such a crazy endgame- who knows what would've happened?

Goodness gracious, I have no idea why I gave her a MORP. Forgive me edgic lord, for I have sinned. If Selena was in a different season, she'd be a Sandra probably so I guess I could see why the MORP happened in the first place. But as a runner-up, she totally has to be MORN.

12. Zoe
Season: Four Corners
Placement: 9th
Edgic: OTTN

If I had to pick the one person who deserved to make it further than they did in the first two seasons, it'd definitely be Zoe. But then, when I take a step back, and realize how much of an outrageous diabolical bitch she was, I laugh and retract the statement. Zoe started out on the shittiest tribe ever, and she obviously had to hold up a lot of her evil for the first few rounds taking out her worthless tribesmates. When she finally got to the Evil team, she was a fucking mess. She tried to keep Dante around, then called him out on being a worthless shithead, then voted him out.

In Season 2, there was a twist called "Crests". There was an Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind crest (4 in total). If you combined Earth & Fire, you got a chance to get a HII. Same with Wind & Water. Zoe told Quinn how to find the Earth Crest after she found the Fire Crest. Then they played some Good & Evil version of "friend vs. foe" where Zoe fucked over Quinn to get the idol then called the bitch stupid for letting her get it. Fantastic alliance management.

Then, the next round when Britt has apparently become bedridden, everyone is voting her out. It's unanimous, decided, no one even speaks much about it. Zoe, in her paranoid brilliance, decides to play her HIDDEN IMMUNITY IDOL because she heard someone mention her name once or something in regards to just about anything. It probably had nothing to do with the vote that night. So she cancels out ONE vote out of SEVEN and stays, leaving her defenseless. What a star.

Please keep in mind that during all of this, she has developed a friendly rivalry with Faith where they shout obscenities at the other at challenges for more possible airtime. She earned it ya'll.

Then the merge comes and ~shocker~ Quinn doesn't like her tribe after all of their shit and flips. Zoe's cool though because she/Faith/Wendy create the coven trio, which is not obvious at all...at all. They fight all the time on the boards. NO WAY they're aligned, right?

No one else believed them either, and unfortunately for Zoe- a 3-person alliance at the final 11 doesn't exactly work. So the Evil tribe continues to get picked off- Peter just kind of lets himself go, Quinn gets wiped away by a hurricane, and then Faith tries to get Henry out- but the Good team comes together to break up the Coven Trio and Zoe gets the boot. Ridiculously enough, she was blindsided.

11. Decan
Season: Angels & Demons
Placement: 1st
Edgic: MOR

Some of you might be surprised that I ranked Decan so high, as he doesn't really have that much of a 'fan following' if you will. He was a boring, generic, and some say undeserving winner. At first I thought so too. I thought out of everyone in the final 7, he was probably the least deserving. However, over time I realize that's not the case. Do I think he was the most deserving? No. I think there are two people who are more deserving. But if you look at Decan's game from start to finish, if anyone deserved it on the Demons team...it was him.

At the beginning, Decan was by far the most popular person on the tribe. He was even friends with Eli for fuck's sake. He was with PIerslo and with Amy's Army. No one ever mentioned the possibility of voting him out, and he was able to sway all around the groups and deflected any negativity off of himself. It was actually very skillful. Along with the fact that he rocked challenges, I would say Decan had a great pre-merge strategy. Now, he definitely sided with Amy's Army, but he was able to work his way up to where Amy considered him her #2 for a while. He kept tabs with Piers, so when that Army went to shit- he was still good.

Come to the merge where all of his allies are voted out in a flash. He's left at the Final 7 mostly fending for himself. At this point, Piers has gone balls to the walls with strategy and has flipped to the other side, spilling his darkest secrets to just about everyone (well...except for one). Decan is laying low, getting to know people a little bit at a time. Honestly, he doesn't need to do much jury management because he has 2 votes already. And at this point, the Good team turns on each other. If you read his confessional, he actively tells Piers what to say to people to instigate this.

So Cassie turns on Gregory, Piers and John turn on Michael, and then we're at the Final 5 where Piers uses his idol to get John out. At the Final 4, we've got Selena (who Decan wants to go to the finals with), Piers (his ally for the past few rounds), and Cassie (his biggest threat). Piers at this point has fallen in love with Cassie because the bitch is just good, and Decan realizes that this is his opportunity to get rid of PIers. And after about an hour of Cassie convincing him to flip, he 'eventually agrees'. Probably the only time Cassie ever looked dumb the entire game. If she had played her cards right- she would've realized that Decan needed to go at that Final 4.

Decan made himself look more worthless than Piers, but honestly Piers was just an emotional trainwreck most of the game. Decan secured himself each round and always kept his friends close, and enemies closer. He got the four votes in the end and I think Decan is definitely a deserving winner. GJ.

10. Wendy
Season: Four Corners
Placement: 5th
Edgic: OTTM



Look at that edgic and tell me this bitch is not a star. What's even more incredible is when you take a step back and think about Wendy actually accomplished in her season as compared to how much of an impact she had- it's ridiculous. For the entirety of pre-merge, Wendy essentially bitched about how boring everyone on her tribe was while being this social butterfly to their faces. She had tunnel vision for targeting Quinn, and if they had gone to Judgement she probably would've gotten her way. What's hilarious is that Wendy was this OTT hagress for most of the game, but her actual strategy was essentially just being a likable person in a one-on-one conversation. As she fought for airtime with Faith and Zoe, the merge came and her tribe lost the advantage. It probably had a lot to due with how much of a bitch Wendy was. What's incredible is that the first alliance Wendy was ever really in was the Coven alliance with Faith & Zoe at the merge- but that got cut pretty easily. Wendy at this point shifted from being this camera-whoring trainwreck to a player. She started latching onto the Ventus girls pretty well, and slipped under the radar as Henry/Taylor got targeted. She somehow wedged herself into the majority of people who were anti-Henry (and to this day I honestly don't know how she did) and skated to the final 5- where she got voted out for being a jury threat. Seriously.

Wendy was an awesome character, but she was kind of not really a gameplayer until the final 7 or so- so that's why she gets cut at #10.

9. Gregory
Season: Angels & Demons
Placement: 7th
Edgic: MORN

Gregory was probably one of the biggest villains in season 1, if not the biggest. He got himself started in a final two deal with John, and became essentially his attack dog while he strategized for most of pre-merge (...sound familiar?). He began his villain status by trying to make Michael think he was the "leader" of the Good tribe and that everyone else were his minions. Michael didn't buy it, and this would begin a long series of of instances where Gregory would do something "diabolical" and everyone would roll their eyes and continue on about their day.

His first ~masterminded move~ was to eliminate Raphael, a player whose main objective was to be UTR and not cause any problems. This is why I call Gregory a lulzy villain. Everyone went along with it because no one cared about Raphael in the first place, and Raphael was unfortunately blindsided. At this point, Laela and Michael were the outcasts of an alliance that consisted of Gregory/John/Selena/Cassie/Ariel. However, Ariel was not performing in challenges like Michael and Laela were- so Gregory went on the offense and brutally targeted Ariel. It was so ~devious~...lulz.

Gregory continued to revel in his evil when he pretty much gave a Courtney Yates confessional about Laela's depression, where he got the episode quote. It was called "Emotions Are for Ugly People". Despising Michael for being shirtless in his profile picture and just being all-around odd, Gregory knew that Michael was going to be his ~next victim~. HOWEVER, Michael wins immunity and Laela is cut because she's "tacky".

So at this point, it's obvious that Gregory doesn't have much awareness of what's going on in the game. He kind of sits back while the Evil tribe gets decimated in order to wait for the Good tribe pecking order to fall into place. TURNS OUT THOUGH, Michael & Cassie have been planning to boot him for like 45 rounds and he is blindsided at the final 7- leaving Selena and John to fend for themselves.

Gregory was a great villain for the first season, and his fall was one of the most Survivoresque things I've seen in this series. GJ Grego.
