Agreed...the moment he continued to touch Kellee after being explicitly told not to, that was the moment that production needed to intervene immediately and pull him from the show
what peeved me is when they all made Janet look like the bad guy. instead of saying, "yes, you made us all very uncomfortable" the girls all denied that they went to Janet for help and made it look like she was using the situation as game play. Kellee also had the opportunity to have him removed and she said no. I'm sure they would have kicked him out sooner if the girls stood their ground. I'm not saying it's their fault, I just think they downplayed it and made it seem like it wasn't that big of a deal to them.
@@kelseylannan4884 Kellee was also in a situation she shouldn't have been in in the first place, because she even stated in an interview that she didn't want to be the reason Dan wasn't allowed to continue in the game, and I fully put the blame for that on production for not making the executive decision to remove Dan the moment he continued to violate Kellee's boundaries after explicitly being told not to touch her, because she never needed to be in that spot to choose between feeling comfortable or being made to look like she's the reason he got ejected
@@israelizzyyarrashamiaak766 Okay...first of all, there's no proof that Tommy did anything to anyone either on the show or outside of it, so let's not start throwing out false accusations, because that makes you no better than what Missy and Elizabeth did to Kellee with the Dan situation
Another tidbit about the Dan situation that makes me mad is how Janet stuck her neck out to stand up for Kelley and the girls after they said Dan was making them uncomfortable. Then Elizabeth and Missy stand there and say that they never had any problems with dan
@@lerdog yeah and after it Janet dont win this season is sucks besides it tommy is the best one time player in survivor us but does not overcome if Janet win...
@@kevwwong I would like to hope that it wasn't solely his decision as to whether or not to pull dan considering how angry he seemed with dan before he was even pulled from the game.
@@eggsetcetera Not as much as Philipp. He made sure to correctly spell her name AND gave her the honor of being the first player to be voted out first twice.
@@OnceUponAnIsland yaa. I remember watching the season when it was airing and I just wanted to get to Tribal Council as soon as possible so I can just see how Dan would react😅😅😅
Oh yeah that was crazy funny to watch Mike giving him the finger without having to do it 😅. His immaturity all the way to final tribal and the chefs kiss 😘 moment was when he won the season.
Much love to Kellee and to all the women affected by that monster on IotI. Also, props to Janet for leaving the game aside and speaking up for Kellee - and shame on those who voted her out after all. It's a shame Survivor treated this case with absolutely no respect towards the victims. They should've definitely purpled D*n.
And same goes for Jamal, because since Kellee was on the jury and couldn't speak up for herself when Dan started in on her, he had no problem being that voice and saying something to Dan about the situation
It’s even worse how one of the two women who used the incident to get ahead in the game is a FORMER OLYMPIC ATHLETE!!! Add in how this season aired around the same time that the one coach from Team USA was fired for sexual misconduct and it turns her into a fucking idiot
I absolute dont condone Dan or any form of sexual harassment. But I could see the bind producers were in. If they removed Dan from the game earlier, they could get accused of manipulating the game or having double standards. Remember that Richard Hatch was famous for walking around naked (along with many other players), which would be considered sexual harassment nowadays. Survivor has a history of letting players do things that we wouldnt approve in real world, so its hard for producers to draw the line and intervene
It's not a coincidence that Redemption Island, which has Phillip front and center the whole time, is considered to be one of the worst seasons. It's also not a coincidence that Caramoan is considered to have a terrible pre-merge and a good post-merge. It gets good the moment Phillip is gone. He has good TV moments, but being around him kills everyone else's will to live and be entertaining. He's an energy vampire.
@@akaicedtea6236 in all fairness Brandon was not exactly normal in south Pacific and there are times where he looks like he could explode at any moment he really shouldn't have been on the season period
@@akaicedtea6236 it was just an uncomfortable situation all around caramoan I think is not as bad as people think but man......that pre merge is a slog and not just for that situation
@@esdeathisbae9480 Brandon shouldn't have been there. He was 20 years old and mentally unstable and still coping with everything that happened on South Pacific only a year before. It was irresponsible of the show to bring him back, especially that soon. It was also irresponsible of Phillip to bait him and press his buttons as much as he could to pick a fight. The only reason Phillip did it was to get TV time at the expense of the mental health of everyone around him. And even as an unstable 20 year old going through some stuff, Brandon was an adult with responsibility for what he does. It was a shameful display for him, Phillip, and the producers of the show.
While I can agree with most of this, but I'm certain that the dislike for the season is because of how obvious it was for Rob to be given a win, his 4th time playing.
"Frances-chess-esc-qua" "Francesca...." Her sitting there nonchalantly correcting him every time was easily one of the funniest things throughout their tribal counsels together. I love Francesca lmao
She was forgettable and boring. Phillip wasn't. People like you with objectively bad taste are a big reason the show isn't going to last much longer loger
Gotta give it up for my guy Jeff Varner for just having the absolute most shitheel move I've ever seen on Survivor. Felt good that literally everyone else was so disgusted with him that they didn't even need to hold a formal vote to kick his ass out
Oh my god. I remember watching that live and just....It's such a horrible thing to do to a person. If we did a top 10 most "villainous" moments, that would be up there.
The ONLY good thing about that moment was how immediately disgusted and angry everyone was immediately. The proper reaction to that kind of bullshit. Just tragic that Zeke and every trans person watching it had to go through that.
@@jml6263 its even more disgusting that now, today, Jeff Varner continues to be transphobic and doubles down on hate, it really is disgusting, and he is an all-around bad person.
I utterly hate Colton. Everything we see of him on the show is vile. But I have to feel so bad for Caleb. He went on the show with Colton, only for Colton to leave, Caleb continued to be a strong player who did well in challenges and got an extreme purple edit because of Colton leaving, and then passed away a year after the show aired, so he'll never get a chance to redeem himself.
I remember how when that season aired and everyone on twitter was baffled how someone like Colton could possibly be in a relationship with someone like Caleb. And then when Caleb died, the outpouring from the fans.. along with the snide remarks again on how Colton could possibly be in a relationship with him. But yeah, Caleb was such a good player and a good guy. Taken far too young.
Wife and I are watching season 24 right now. I was SO looking forward to his elimination. Now I'm sad to find out that he ends up quitting like a pussy when things don't go his way, and that for some reason he gets invited back only to do it again!
Did everyone forget about NaOnka from Nicaragua? Girl was hell bent on getting an amputee out of the game from day one, to the point of shoving her to the ground for an immunity idol clue. Add in the fact that she stole and hid food right after the merge, and that she arrogantly believed that she would win when she quit. She should've made the list over Abi, who was just straight up crazy.
I remember her. She didn’t make the list because she wasn’t memorable. She had such a disgusting personality. She was disrespectful, vicious, loud, miserable, and just plain nasty. She was a bully. All that toughness only to end up quitting because she couldn’t handle the rainstorm. She was a joke in my book and a waste of time being on survivor. If I remember correctly, 2 contestants quit which was unfortunate for the player being voted out previously. I hope the producers never invite her back .
Colton rallied all the “misfits/outsiders” of his tribe to him. He really was the only real threat Kim had in OW as he was the leader of his tribe and had a hidden idol on him when he was med evac’d (although I could see him becoming a Russell-style power goat had he never been med evac’d)
Colton would never be given the million by the jury, he’s the perfect idiot to take to final counsel. You’d rather keep people around you that are hated.
Dan's behavior was in excusable, but what production did was even worse. They didn't intervene until it was too late and afterwards they even make a story out of it for their show. That's the worst way to handle stuff like that
Dan also dragged down a number of players with him into villainy. They got a pass at the time, inexplicably if you ask me, but a couple of players completely fabricated stories about Dan who they at the time believed to be completely innocent just to blindside a distraught and vulnerable Kelly. It was some pretty heinous gameplay, and while at the end of the day it all stems from Dan's reprehensible behavior, it's important to remember that Island of the Idols didn't just have one villain.
Yeah Island of the Idols definitely gets a bigger no from me than a yes. At this point we know Dan is vile but it was post-incidents that got me as well.. some of the girls literally redeemed Dan just for the sake of the blindside one, and two, after they made accusations against him in the first place. And then they blindsided genuine victims of him as well as defenders. Like baby yes this is a game but sometimes there are real world implications and I’m sorry but your behavior just isn’t cutting it this time around.
@@adrianbennettbennett9345 I agree...Missy and Elizabeth deserve as much backlash as Dan got for making it seem like Kellee was making everything up and that none of the things they had also said about Dan were true
I don't remember any of them getting a pass. I seem to recall Elizabeth declining to show up to the reunion out of fear due to all the backlash she received. Missy and Elizabeth saw the perfect moment to blindside Kelee (who had 2 idols btw). You can't blame the players for playing the game. If Dan needed to be removed, that responsibility falls squarely on production.
@@ajl9772 I don't know if you realize this, but Missy and Elizabeth exploiting the whole Dan situation to the point where not only was Kellee being gaslit, but Janet and Jamal both got put into precarious positions in the game due to speaking up when Kellee felt uncomfortable, is why sexual assault/harassment victims are scared to come forward out of fear that they won't be believed and everyone will just think they're making it up. So yeah, what Missy and Elizabeth did goes beyond game and they deserved the backlash just as much as Dan did
But then what gets me even more is how production clearly edited his character to make it seem like he was.. not?? In the wrong?? “Like I’m Dan I actually work in the entertainment business I have children so trust me I would never do anything like this I should know what it looks like it happens all the time around me so why would I ever do this”.. like tf!!!! If anything you should be indefinitely terminated from employment in the entertainment industry because clearly you’re a seasoned professional and not in the good way!!!
I think it needs to be mentioned that Russell also played on the Australian version of Survivor, where he lasted two episodes when the other players called his bluff and sent him home
To be honest, compared to Dan and Will, Rodney was an alright villain. His dish washing scene was probably the funniest part of the season and kind of made me feel bad for him. Almost kind of.
How about his claim that women should hold themselves to a higher standard than men? Dale (SJDS) said on RHAP that holding themselves to a higher standard means they should *stay away from people like Rodney*
@@1omarella eh he had one bit and just kept to it over and over and thus is too smooth of brain to deserve one, he could have adapted, didn't, and the bit got boring after he kept getting brought back and changing nothing
The worst thing about D__ from S39 is that the timing of his boot caused Janet's idol play to run headlong into Dean's idol nullifier, thus taking out the only true hero left in the game at that point.
What happened with Kellee made me hate the survivor production all together!!! I can’t believe they allowed it to go on that long and to top it off she even had to sit in the jury without a voice. While the monster literally sat there with a smile on his face. I couldn’t imagine the amount of emotions Kellee had to deal with on live tv. That was the most excruciating season to watch.
Yeah the dude was told by cast members multiple times to cut it out. Had to be told by production multiple times. Only reason he got cut was because he touched a female production member while they were being transported by boat back to camp. It shouldn't have gone that far. He should have been cut right after it was apparent that women were uncomfortable with his advances.
I think the players who sided with Dan Spilo and got read of Kelle because it was better for their game, despite knowing she was right, are the true villians
I think the Dan situation is further poisoned by Missy and Elizabeth exploiting it to get further in the game. I will be FURIOUS with CBS if those two are allowed to return, especially before Kellee, Elaine, or Janet.
At least Survivor eventually dealt with it properly, unlike Big Brother. When Frank Eudy sexually harassed some of the girls, not only did production NOT penalize him, but they also attempted to rig the game in his favor (with the round trip ticket twist). Thankfully, that rig failed.
@@Ori_Kohav Although unlike Dan, Frank actually was apologetic when he realized that his joking around had gone too far and that some of the girls were uncomfortable with it, so I'll give him some credit for having that moment of self awareness and trying to make it right, which somewhat elevates him above Dan
dan was a villainous person, not a villainous player. what made this season so rough to watch was the producers edited his situation as if he was a villainous PLAYER.
Hated how Dan was so butthurt about Mike being good and wining immunities. Like if he didn’t he would have been sent home and Dan acted like that’s what he should have done 😂
i really appreciate the grace you showed abi - a lot of people just take her at face value and choose to see her as a horrible person, which i just don’t think is true.
This was me as well. I applied for the first season and never missed one until 39 aired. I never did finish watching it. Yesterday was the first time I've glanced at Survivor since.
As much as Scott was a villain, especially post-merge, I found there was a lot of times where he showed some real "redeeming qualities", like in episode 6, when he gave props to Nick for keeping up the pressure in the buoy throwing challenge. And even admitting to Alisya that while he was annoyed about her cheerleading, he also recognized that it was what they needed at the time and at least she was trying to cheer everyone up. I think there were a bunch of little lost moments like that for Scott that got lost in the editing.
He had some cool things and still very much a villain. I find the people who are rational yet still act like this the worst types of villains. He knew better.
Yeah, rewatching RN and he has his redeeming moments to be sure but when the chips are down he's unapologetically an asshole. Giving him the benefit of the doubt maybe coming from the NBA he wasn't ready for the rarefied air of Survivor lol
Most villans I enjoy watching. Colton is an exception to that. Colton is my least favorite survivor player of all time. He’s a crybaby who quits when things don’t go his way
@@queenzoroark With the difference being that Corinne doesn't quit when things get hard, and she doesn't come across like this spoiled rich kid the way Colton does...she's a bitch for sure, but at least she's not a straight up racist
How long it took production to get rid of dan is the worst thing the show has ever done. I couldn't believe what was happening right in front of us. Yes Dan was a monster, but the fact that he got away with it for so long ON camera, should show us how harassment is so often just ignored.
"The Survivor" crew including Jeff is just as much a villain as Dan for not doing enough to stop him. Yes, they may have changed but that doesn't mean anything to me. Survivor, The tribe has spoken
Yeah leteary is because of them that they destroyed the season if they eject dan in final 13 they cold save the season and jack in the jury cold be compreeensive but not the only eject hik after 6 People being eliminated
Literally. Damn 1 million dollars if I had a dude like that touching me without my consent Omg. I would LOSE it. I would not be able to handle it the way Kellee did. The way she tried to express it was very mature. Dan didn’t care he still touched her inappropriately without her consent KNOWING she did not consent. As a woman who grew up with a step father who was disgusting like Dan I wouldn’t be able to do that. Even just seeing it happen if it wasn’t directed to me I would be saying something. My tolerance for that stuff is so low and I can’t ever rewatch that season because it triggers me too much. Watching the crew and everyone except Janet not say anything. It’s rough. You are literally watching abuse happen and doing nothing.
No her tell in an interview that she dont want come not because she dont want win ths prize, but because of her being harassed and the producers only noticed it towards the end of the show and it traumatized her.
It was one moment. That was it. And yall treated it as if he was the most evil person to ever wall the planet because he was desperate and pulled a move from way down under. Given the circumstances and his reputation, it's not even remotely that bad compared to how yall treat it to be. So not only is the situation overhated but it causes you to think the guy is a villain? What's next? A clean player in the NBA commits one dirty foul and he is now an awful, dirty player?
@@anonymousperson3023 because that one moment you're talking abt is a really sensitive topic. It doesn't matter how many mistakes a player makes in the game. It's how big they can be and by dropping what he just said in tribal council, I must say it's pretty big. Also, it's his own fault for crossing the line, as that probably will be the only thing he's remembered abt now. I used to love Varner on Outback and Second Chance, but he definitely lost me in Game Changers.
@@anonymousperson3023 definitely agree the bloke simply had a brain explosion (yes a big one) but he apologised straight away and many times after of Zeke can move on from it and forgive him why can't everyone else?
@@RedVDaveRVDTV if I'm not mistaken Jeff is a TERF on his SM so even if the victim forgave him (probably for his state of mind), Jeff has 100% backed up his bigotry that led to outing Zeke.
I feel like villain is a word that means different things to different people for Survivor/Big Brother watchers. It can be the unfun kind of villain that does stuff like racism/sexism/homophobia, or it can be the fun kind that causes general chaos.
For real...I love the Tony Vlachos/Sandra type villains who are there just to stir the pot and play a cutthroat game, but the Dan Spilo/Colton type of villains can stay off my screen for good, and I wouldn't complain
What happened during the Dan season still makes my blood boil. I will never watch it again. And for Kelli to be voted off the way she was was a huge injustice. All those women should ashamed of themselves too.
Ikr. She was such a smart player too. I loved how she hid her idol in her hair tie. It was so smart and then her fake crying when she came back from the island (where she got the idol) and taking everything out of her bag to prove she did not have one when she did was brilliant. Only wished she had played it at that tribal council. I wonder how things would have ended differently with the Dan situation is she had and was safe from being voted out.
I still think about the one guy who revealed that one of the players was trans out of pure anger. I forgot what season it was but I was shook and felt so bad for the other player who had their secrets revealed to the other players like that. Edit- looked it up, it was Jeff Varner outing Zeke. That was just as hard to watch as it was the first time seeing it
Could you make a video of what changes were made to the show due to Dans behavior post season 39? I haven’t even watched the season because I had such a sour taste in my mouth from how the show handled that situation. Also love your content!!
"Among the changes CBS is making, the company is adding an “on-site professional” to offer confidential means of reporting concerns, an “enhanced” pre-production orientation with anti-harassment, unconscious bias and sensitivity training for the cast, producers and production crew, and a new rule barring “unwelcome physical contact, sexual harassment and impermissible biases.”"
@@OnceUponAnIsland oh wow! So you just have to curl up with your clothes? I’m surprised they don’t get at least like a thin blanket. Cuddling was clearly done for heat protection.
@@rhino1876 Eeeeeeh, some of it sometimes was for warmth and general comfort, some of it is shared horniness, and sometimes it's just creeping on them.
@@rhino1876 In some cases, it was because there were one or two creepers in the cast rather than just to keep warm. I remember all the way back in China, Courtney had a few confessionals about how uncomfortable she felt when Jean Robert would always want to cuddle next to her and Amanda in the shelter at night. And then there's the Ozzy/Amanda type situations where the cuddling is two hormonal people not being able to keep their hands off each other
I think Colton should be no 1. For me villain in terms of survivor just means machiavellian gameplay, their actions usually have impact only within the game. What people like Varner or D*n did may linger in other contestants for years, its beyond villanous.
If we are talking about the most hated survivors, I'm surprised that Jeff Varner isn't on the list, even if he isn't really painted as a villain in his 1st 2 seasons
Great video! Not that Survivor (especially Probst) would ever admit it, but I think the show owes a lot to Brian Heidik. His winning helps prove how unscripted the outcomes may be, as no one would ever have penned such an ending. He also starkly establishes the dark complexity of the game, where without a true villain having won, would only be supposed.
Chris Daugherty is the other side of the equation. Vanuatu was set up for the estrogen brigade to wipe out the testosterone. And then the lone rooster in the house with six hens ends up pulling off, and without any lifelines or exile, the single greatest victory up to that point. He effectively yanked the fiddle out of the producers' hands and forced the dancing shoes onto their feet. And Probster went absolutely positively utterly nuts at how powerless he was to slow the dude down let alone stop him.
@@AllRequired If I remember, Jeff absolutely hates Chris, and funny enough, it's not even because Chris is a major bullshit artist, it's that he voted out his squeeze at the time. How petty does it get, right?
why isn't NaOnka Mixon on this list? She was so infamous back in Nicaragua: trash talking everyone whom she wasn't aligned with, shoving off Kelly B for a clue, openly taunting Marty during tribal council, hiding the flour
Scot is the prime example of a stereotypical alpha male and seeing Tai completely reject him at that tribal was so satisfying. I wish Michelle voted him off the jury instead of Neil just because I didn’t want to see him again, she was lucky he didn’t go after her for some reason Looking back on that season a lot of the guys were just awful to the women, I’m glad they didn’t bring back too many people from that season
His Phillipness is entertaining, but moments like Rice Wars (RI) and his handling of Brandon (that led to a rice again) just ruins the entertainment value
Phillip was easy to tolerate. Not necessarily funny, and nowhere near the energy vampire he was made out to be. If you have the patience to recognize and exploit his worth to your game, you are going to be sitting pretty at the end.
THANK YOU! Finally I see someone talking about Dan S. His actions were so inappropriate and down write disgusting. Watching the at for the first time made me feel so uncomfortable and the fact he technically made it to the finale baffles me. I just feel so bad for those women who had to deal with him for over 30 days.
100% agree that Dan was is the worst, but I think the producers also deserve the hate for that season. During the family visit episode, they brought in Dan's son and this will forever haunt the kid. They should have taken the matter seriously on the onset. The live finale with a specific segment for the apology was not enough. I can't believe I'm fuming even as I write this comment. It was such a baaaaaad season.
It's unbelievable to me that Dan Spilo is still a producer in Hollywood. I don't think people use his name as a selling point anymore but I know he's still working on some decently big projects and it makes me sick.
Great list; a few more names come to mind - but much appreciated for putting Heidik on this list. You nailed it pretty well that he played a classic cutthroat game but his personality and his image on TV, well, not worthy. Same goes for most people in his season
Coach is a bit more of the goofball type: not really hated and more “what is he doing” type, Don’t recalling him doing anything to harm his fellow teammates or true villain tendencies.
The reason I wasn't happy with Bob winning Gabon is it made Corinne happy. I was hoping for a final 3 of Crystal, Sugar, and Susie just to see how she would handle that as a jury member.
I agree 😂 like he is definitely a villain but I like watching him 😂 he wants to be the most infamous survivor villain and he does a pretty good job of it especially in sure an early season
NaOnka should be on here. She just felt so holier-than-thou. She was so insistent on getting a physically disabled girl out of the game and even pushed her so she could grab the immunity idol. Not to mention, she literally stole Fabio's socks and was so rude to him when he confronted her about it.
I also watched Dan's season live and unfortunately, but fortunately it opened my eyes to the anger and sadness I've had about my own experiences. I had to stop watching bc i was so infuriated that he wasn't pulled immediately. Having that anger and literally being brought to tears over him and his behavior forced me to honest about my trauma and I've been in therapy ever since. Didn't think i would ever share this in a YT comment section.
Her dont make the list because font is yhe mostra rated players of survivor but the most hated villans and varner dont is the main villan of game changer sarah is the main villan of The season
Abi and Phillip were so annoying and sooooo frustrating to watch, but even as extremely irritating as they were to watch, they at least weren't as completely unhinged, incredibly unbearable, and/or generally monstrous as Dan S, Colton, or Brandon Hantz (HOW did *he* not make this list?! 😂) I do have to say tho, my first thought upon seeing the title of this video was Scott's horrible bullying of Tai (and there's enough others I would add that this would probably round out to a top 20 instead of a top 10! 😂😂)
In fairness too Abi improved her game whereas Phillip was shown to be the most beautiful example how to bring someone to final tribal and traipse away with a million barely lifting a finger
I personally love Abi, and after hearing an interview about her time on the show I respect her a bit more. She actually competed through a majority of Phillippines with a torn ACL.
New to actual seasons of US survivor, been experiencing through CZcams, so haven’t watched a Ty episode let alone season but that super idol move, might just make him my number 1, loved that for him. 😅👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Great video! ❤ IDEA: I think I came up with a new good idea for a video. I'll share it as a suggestion. I was re-watching the final tribal council from Winners at War because I love Tony's and Michelle's performances. It was something Michelle said that triggered this idea. She says at one point that she played this game with integrity, and I realized that she indeed appears surprisingly to have done just that. It's funny to me, because usually in Survivor the players that say that, well.. they say it a lot, and they are unaware of the fact that they did NOT play with integrity. I'm sure Michelle didn't set out to play with integrity necessarily (she probably just wanted to find a way to win), but she ended up playing that game probably because of her personality, and for sure because of her positioning in the game, not having the control. It would be super interesting to me to see a top, or a video about the players that actually played with integrity, real integrity, not Coach Wade - integrity. 🤣 I guess it would be kinda difficult to make a video about that. First you need to define it. And we only see what production chooses to show us in 42 minute per episode... I wonder if I can think right now of any other players that fit this. Hmm, Ian from Palau? Colby? Woo? I'm not sure about Woo. Why did he choose Tony? Because of loyalty? But even so, the rest of his game I don't feel he played with integrity, I don't know. Did Lil' from Pearl Islands play with integrity? I don't remember 😂 I can't think of any more at the moment, but I feel that there are some players that probably were mid-game boots. Hmm, Morriah from Survivor 43? She was too nice for the game 😂 Ok, this all the effort I'm gonna do. It would be awesome if you like the idea and make a video about this or something similar if you find an angle you like better. Much love ❤️
I watched survivor as a kid, I always saw it as a physical competition only, but watching Russell I quickly realized how much strategy and being social was integral at having a shot to win. My family loved to hate him, there was a time where I thought (and kind of hoped due to how entertaining he was) he would win, glad he didn't tho, man was a total villain.
Because I know sports and Survivor don't necessarily have a huge overlap, I enjoy pointing out that Scot constantly flaunted being a "champion." In the season he's referring to, he played in 22 games of an 82-game season (in those, averaging less than 8 minutes per 48-minute game), and didn't play in the playoffs at all.
I've never understood all the hate that pair gets. They were bullies, and I would never want to end up on a tribe with them, but in comparison to some of the absolute lunatics Survivor has allowed on the show, I don't think they were that terrible.
Although I agree Russel went too far on many occasions, and in my opinion was never going to win, I cannot help but enjoy watching him. He burns others all the time but he also was a machine at finding idols and making plans alike. I do not think he will ever win if he came back again, but I have a feeling it would still be entertaining.
another bonus to colton’s horrible time on survivor is we got to meet caleb. he was a truly wonderful person from what we knew, and i’m glad we got to experience him before the world lost him too soon.
I feel like Dan wasn't Purpled because the show didnt want to give the impression it was covering up something. They wanted to be transparent about the incidents and how they dealt with it.
People behave differently around others when no one is looking. Dan is very self aware b/c cameras were always rolling, so that is a sign of his total apathy about Kelle's verbal requests. So just b/c his asshole tribe pretended and feigned ignorance- he's ultimate insurance as the GOAT, should not have given the producers an easy out. But hey, they let Skupin burn in the fire and clue Russell into where the hidden idols are, I guess camera people aren't coat checked for their brain either.
I'm glad to watch one of these videos for once and not be assaulted by the clip of Varner outing Zeke. A small thing but welcome, feels like a lot of others put that clip in just for the ragebait or something.
I did detest Scott at the time, but his Ponderosa video, which I didn't see till years later, paints him in a very sympathetic light. I also enjoyed his robust rebuke of Michelle's win in Russell Hantz's Top 100 ranking, though I was off-put by his contempt for Tai in the same, in what was otherwise a very positive, complimentary series.
I go to school with Fairplay’s kid, he never talks about the guy which is understandable. Fairplay also lives in the same town as me and I’ve heard he’s got quite the reputation but I’ve never seen him around 🤷🏻♂️
Caramoan is my guilty pleasure season i genuinely love it so much. The phillip/brandon fight is one of my all time favorite scenes of survivor and i rewatch it all the time for laughs.
Haven't seen season 39 (need to hunker down and watch them on paramount plus one of these years) but seriously am inwardly cringing at #1 and I am a hugging person. Flashbacks to a rough time in my life when I was living in a group home and trying to get on my feet and one of the other people as I was sleeping would touch my toes. I was on the couch in the living area for reasons I won't go into because it's complicated and he came out and started playing with my toes. I'm inwardly cringing remembering that (he wasn't right in the head to say the least) and now seeing #1 having massive flashbacks to that... and again. I'm a hugger person, but you better not be some strange person on a TV show whom I just met ... or living in a group home with for personal reasons and you're twice my age.
I wouldn't say Ami was a hated villain though, because even though there's no denying her villain status in Vanuatu, she was still a fan favorite when the season ended, so I wouldn't put her in this video. Everyone else though, I agree with you
Dan is definily not the most rated villan of survivor but the most rated player ever what her do dont cold be forgiven and the fact that the producers only eject himm after 6 People being eliminated. CONGRATULATIONS DAN YOU HAD THE GLORY OF DESTROYED A SEASON ONLY BECAUSE OF YOU,colton is a angel conpared to you .
I'm already predicting Coach and Ami will be on the beloved villains rankings, because they get a lot of love among the fanbase despite their villain status, and same with Courtney, because even though she has no problem ripping everyone to shreds in her confessionals, she doesn't get anywhere near the same level of hate that someone like Corinne would
Q: "Why didn't X make the list?"
A: 00:34
Guarantee you still got a bunch of people asking 😅😂
What really peeved me about the Dan Spilo incident is that it took until a non-player was touched to eject him.
Agreed...the moment he continued to touch Kellee after being explicitly told not to, that was the moment that production needed to intervene immediately and pull him from the show
It still annoys me to this day ugh
what peeved me is when they all made Janet look like the bad guy. instead of saying, "yes, you made us all very uncomfortable" the girls all denied that they went to Janet for help and made it look like she was using the situation as game play. Kellee also had the opportunity to have him removed and she said no. I'm sure they would have kicked him out sooner if the girls stood their ground. I'm not saying it's their fault, I just think they downplayed it and made it seem like it wasn't that big of a deal to them.
@@kelseylannan4884 Kellee was also in a situation she shouldn't have been in in the first place, because she even stated in an interview that she didn't want to be the reason Dan wasn't allowed to continue in the game, and I fully put the blame for that on production for not making the executive decision to remove Dan the moment he continued to violate Kellee's boundaries after explicitly being told not to touch her, because she never needed to be in that spot to choose between feeling comfortable or being made to look like she's the reason he got ejected
@@israelizzyyarrashamiaak766 Okay...first of all, there's no proof that Tommy did anything to anyone either on the show or outside of it, so let's not start throwing out false accusations, because that makes you no better than what Missy and Elizabeth did to Kellee with the Dan situation
Dan shouldn’t be considered a villain, he was just a monster. It should just be a different category because of how much he sucked.
Fr
honestly had the same thought.
Yeah, and he wasn't even edited as a villain, just another player, which is even worse.
Yeah I agree
Yeah I don’t think felons should be considered villians. At least 7 of these players are reasonably fun to watch for some of the time
Another tidbit about the Dan situation that makes me mad is how Janet stuck her neck out to stand up for Kelley and the girls after they said Dan was making them uncomfortable. Then Elizabeth and Missy stand there and say that they never had any problems with dan
Janet tanked her position in the majority to courageously stand up for someone who was in distress and they made her look like a clown for it.
@@lerdog yeah and after it Janet dont win this season is sucks besides it tommy is the best one time player in survivor us but does not overcome if Janet win...
Yeah those girl made false accusations and then laughed about that situation like wtf and they were like this is a game
Janet might be the most underrated hero in the show's history.
Made the finale that much sweeter. NOBODY has ever deserved the Sia Award more than Janet.
It's kinda gross that nothing is done about Dan until it's a camera person he ends up touching instead of a player.
Number one villain should be Executive Producer Jeff Probst.
@@kevwwong I would like to hope that it wasn't solely his decision as to whether or not to pull dan considering how angry he seemed with dan before he was even pulled from the game.
Why didn't the group of players vote him out? Instead they voted out the victim. Seems like even the players care more about money than SA.
It’s honestly so unfortunate that Phillip made it further than Franchesqua both times.
He ruined his 2nd season for me he was unbearable
I really liked Franchesqua.
@@eggsetcetera Not as much as Philipp. He made sure to correctly spell her name AND gave her the honor of being the first player to be voted out first twice.
Rob and then all the favorites just knew that Phillip was just the PERFECT goat.
@@jiro110 Phillip was entertaining in my opinion 🙂
Honestly, the greatest part of Worlds Apart is Dan’s reaction every time Mike walked into tribal wearing immunity
His hatred for Mike fueled my laughter.
That and Jenn just being Jenn. Literal goddess tier icon.
@@OnceUponAnIsland yaa. I remember watching the season when it was airing and I just wanted to get to Tribal Council as soon as possible so I can just see how Dan would react😅😅😅
Oh yeah that was crazy funny to watch Mike giving him the finger without having to do it 😅. His immaturity all the way to final tribal and the chefs kiss 😘 moment was when he won the season.
Much love to Kellee and to all the women affected by that monster on IotI. Also, props to Janet for leaving the game aside and speaking up for Kellee - and shame on those who voted her out after all. It's a shame Survivor treated this case with absolutely no respect towards the victims. They should've definitely purpled D*n.
And same goes for Jamal, because since Kellee was on the jury and couldn't speak up for herself when Dan started in on her, he had no problem being that voice and saying something to Dan about the situation
Production should have removed Dan way sooner. They should have never let it get that far in the first place.
It’s even worse how one of the two women who used the incident to get ahead in the game is a FORMER OLYMPIC ATHLETE!!! Add in how this season aired around the same time that the one coach from Team USA was fired for sexual misconduct and it turns her into a fucking idiot
@@NYChica23 i thought for a second you saud Janet
I absolute dont condone Dan or any form of sexual harassment. But I could see the bind producers were in. If they removed Dan from the game earlier, they could get accused of manipulating the game or having double standards. Remember that Richard Hatch was famous for walking around naked (along with many other players), which would be considered sexual harassment nowadays. Survivor has a history of letting players do things that we wouldnt approve in real world, so its hard for producers to draw the line and intervene
‘I’m an adopted child, my scenario is no different from hers’
‘So you’ve had domestic violence in ur life’
‘I’m an adopted child’
He was such a creep!
I'm surprised he was on here.. there have been so many Worse players than him on here
It's not a coincidence that Redemption Island, which has Phillip front and center the whole time, is considered to be one of the worst seasons. It's also not a coincidence that Caramoan is considered to have a terrible pre-merge and a good post-merge. It gets good the moment Phillip is gone. He has good TV moments, but being around him kills everyone else's will to live and be entertaining. He's an energy vampire.
@@akaicedtea6236 in all fairness Brandon was not exactly normal in south Pacific and there are times where he looks like he could explode at any moment he really shouldn't have been on the season period
@@akaicedtea6236 it was just an uncomfortable situation all around caramoan I think is not as bad as people think but man......that pre merge is a slog and not just for that situation
@@esdeathisbae9480 Brandon shouldn't have been there. He was 20 years old and mentally unstable and still coping with everything that happened on South Pacific only a year before. It was irresponsible of the show to bring him back, especially that soon. It was also irresponsible of Phillip to bait him and press his buttons as much as he could to pick a fight. The only reason Phillip did it was to get TV time at the expense of the mental health of everyone around him.
And even as an unstable 20 year old going through some stuff, Brandon was an adult with responsibility for what he does. It was a shameful display for him, Phillip, and the producers of the show.
While I can agree with most of this, but I'm certain that the dislike for the season is because of how obvious it was for Rob to be given a win, his 4th time playing.
@@jonnymankin Right, I hated Rob more than Phillip.
"Frances-chess-esc-qua"
"Francesca...."
Her sitting there nonchalantly correcting him every time was easily one of the funniest things throughout their tribal counsels together. I love Francesca lmao
She was forgettable and boring. Phillip wasn't. People like you with objectively bad taste are a big reason the show isn't going to last much longer loger
Gotta give it up for my guy Jeff Varner for just having the absolute most shitheel move I've ever seen on Survivor. Felt good that literally everyone else was so disgusted with him that they didn't even need to hold a formal vote to kick his ass out
Oh my god. I remember watching that live and just....It's such a horrible thing to do to a person. If we did a top 10 most "villainous" moments, that would be up there.
The ONLY good thing about that moment was how immediately disgusted and angry everyone was immediately. The proper reaction to that kind of bullshit. Just tragic that Zeke and every trans person watching it had to go through that.
The thing that pisses me off about that moment is that it even aired. CBS did not need to out Zeke to their entire audience.
@cervicalvertebrea if I remember correctly, CBS had permission from Zeke to air it.
@@jml6263 its even more disgusting that now, today, Jeff Varner continues to be transphobic and doubles down on hate, it really is disgusting, and he is an all-around bad person.
I utterly hate Colton. Everything we see of him on the show is vile. But I have to feel so bad for Caleb. He went on the show with Colton, only for Colton to leave, Caleb continued to be a strong player who did well in challenges and got an extreme purple edit because of Colton leaving, and then passed away a year after the show aired, so he'll never get a chance to redeem himself.
I remember how when that season aired and everyone on twitter was baffled how someone like Colton could possibly be in a relationship with someone like Caleb. And then when Caleb died, the outpouring from the fans.. along with the snide remarks again on how Colton could possibly be in a relationship with him.
But yeah, Caleb was such a good player and a good guy. Taken far too young.
@@cutepikufr! It should have been Colton
Wife and I are watching season 24 right now. I was SO looking forward to his elimination. Now I'm sad to find out that he ends up quitting like a pussy when things don't go his way, and that for some reason he gets invited back only to do it again!
He’s so vile that I was sure he had something to do with Caliebs death he didn’t but that’s just how vile he is
I think Caleb would have played again had he not died. I could see him easily getting chosen for Cambodia.
Did everyone forget about NaOnka from Nicaragua? Girl was hell bent on getting an amputee out of the game from day one, to the point of shoving her to the ground for an immunity idol clue. Add in the fact that she stole and hid food right after the merge, and that she arrogantly believed that she would win when she quit. She should've made the list over Abi, who was just straight up crazy.
She was also a massive dick to Fabio for no discernible reason.
I haven’t forgotten. She was awful.
In all fairness, I do think if NaOnka makes it to the end of that season she does have a shot at winning…
I remember her. She didn’t make the list because she wasn’t memorable. She had such a disgusting personality. She was disrespectful, vicious, loud, miserable, and just plain nasty. She was a bully. All that toughness only to end up quitting because she couldn’t handle the rainstorm. She was a joke in my book and a waste of time being on survivor. If I remember correctly, 2 contestants quit which was unfortunate for the player being voted out previously. I hope the producers never invite her back .
That woman was absolutely vile.
it still blows my mind that they voted bill out and not colton
It still blows my mind that they chose to just throw away their immunity win.
Colton rallied all the “misfits/outsiders” of his tribe to him. He really was the only real threat Kim had in OW as he was the leader of his tribe and had a hidden idol on him when he was med evac’d (although I could see him becoming a Russell-style power goat had he never been med evac’d)
Colton would never be given the million by the jury, he’s the perfect idiot to take to final counsel. You’d rather keep people around you that are hated.
Dan's behavior was in excusable, but what production did was even worse. They didn't intervene until it was too late and afterwards they even make a story out of it for their show. That's the worst way to handle stuff like that
Dan also dragged down a number of players with him into villainy. They got a pass at the time, inexplicably if you ask me, but a couple of players completely fabricated stories about Dan who they at the time believed to be completely innocent just to blindside a distraught and vulnerable Kelly. It was some pretty heinous gameplay, and while at the end of the day it all stems from Dan's reprehensible behavior, it's important to remember that Island of the Idols didn't just have one villain.
Yeah Island of the Idols definitely gets a bigger no from me than a yes. At this point we know Dan is vile but it was post-incidents that got me as well.. some of the girls literally redeemed Dan just for the sake of the blindside one, and two, after they made accusations against him in the first place. And then they blindsided genuine victims of him as well as defenders. Like baby yes this is a game but sometimes there are real world implications and I’m sorry but your behavior just isn’t cutting it this time around.
@@adrianbennettbennett9345 I agree...Missy and Elizabeth deserve as much backlash as Dan got for making it seem like Kellee was making everything up and that none of the things they had also said about Dan were true
I don't remember any of them getting a pass. I seem to recall Elizabeth declining to show up to the reunion out of fear due to all the backlash she received. Missy and Elizabeth saw the perfect moment to blindside Kelee (who had 2 idols btw). You can't blame the players for playing the game. If Dan needed to be removed, that responsibility falls squarely on production.
@@ajl9772 I don't know if you realize this, but Missy and Elizabeth exploiting the whole Dan situation to the point where not only was Kellee being gaslit, but Janet and Jamal both got put into precarious positions in the game due to speaking up when Kellee felt uncomfortable, is why sexual assault/harassment victims are scared to come forward out of fear that they won't be believed and everyone will just think they're making it up. So yeah, what Missy and Elizabeth did goes beyond game and they deserved the backlash just as much as Dan did
But then what gets me even more is how production clearly edited his character to make it seem like he was.. not?? In the wrong?? “Like I’m Dan I actually work in the entertainment business I have children so trust me I would never do anything like this I should know what it looks like it happens all the time around me so why would I ever do this”.. like tf!!!! If anything you should be indefinitely terminated from employment in the entertainment industry because clearly you’re a seasoned professional and not in the good way!!!
Bills reaction to Colby saying the black person in his life is his house keeper is so hilarious. He just has to laugh at such an outrageous take.
Colton not Colby.
It was Colton not Colby; don’t give Colby an image that is not true!
Colton reminds me of those stereotypical rich kids they show on TV. Didn't think they actually existed IRL, the dude probably paid to get on the show.
I think it needs to be mentioned that Russell also played on the Australian version of Survivor, where he lasted two episodes when the other players called his bluff and sent him home
With an idol in his possession 😂
@@Ori_Kohav And they never mentioned him again, lol.
@@Ori_Kohav yep, had it around his neck and everything
Thats cause they was weak and scary
@@hamishpoynter5454 didn't they fall apart? maybe shoulda kept russell and not throw challenges
I can't believe you didn't put a certain villain on this list on his birthday.
Rumor is that Rodney hasn't done any dishes since that fateful birthday LOL
@@OnceUponAnIsland Who needs dishes when the only one he uses is a toilet bowl?
To be honest, compared to Dan and Will, Rodney was an alright villain.
His dish washing scene was probably the funniest part of the season and kind of made me feel bad for him. Almost kind of.
How about his claim that women should hold themselves to a higher standard than men? Dale (SJDS) said on RHAP that holding themselves to a higher standard means they should *stay away from people like Rodney*

I wanted to see him get a win so badly!
@@1omarella eh
he had one bit and just kept to it over and over and thus is too smooth of brain to deserve one, he could have adapted, didn't, and the bit got boring after he kept getting brought back and changing nothing
@@iMajoraGaming got boring?? no way lol. He was fan favorite both seasons. Only way to stop Russell is to throw challenges
The fact that Dan was a Hollywood agent and executive producer explains a lot...
The worst thing about D__ from S39 is that the timing of his boot caused Janet's idol play to run headlong into Dean's idol nullifier, thus taking out the only true hero left in the game at that point.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I would love nothing more than to be a fun villain on a season of survivor. It would be a dream come true
Me too, and I'll be applying soon. Wish me luck!
What happened with Kellee made me hate the survivor production all together!!! I can’t believe they allowed it to go on that long and to top it off she even had to sit in the jury without a voice. While the monster literally sat there with a smile on his face. I couldn’t imagine the amount of emotions Kellee had to deal with on live tv. That was the most excruciating season to watch.
Yeah the dude was told by cast members multiple times to cut it out. Had to be told by production multiple times. Only reason he got cut was because he touched a female production member while they were being transported by boat back to camp. It shouldn't have gone that far. He should have been cut right after it was apparent that women were uncomfortable with his advances.
Also, since Survivor will never bring back pre-new era contestants, Kelle will never get another chance. >=(
@@jacksonparker9022 if she even wants to try. The production team protecting Dan is kinda traumatizing
I think the players who sided with Dan Spilo and got read of Kelle because it was better for their game, despite knowing she was right, are the true villians
I think the Dan situation is further poisoned by Missy and Elizabeth exploiting it to get further in the game. I will be FURIOUS with CBS if those two are allowed to return, especially before Kellee, Elaine, or Janet.
Not to mention Aaron denying all of that at tribal
At least Survivor eventually dealt with it properly, unlike Big Brother. When Frank Eudy sexually harassed some of the girls, not only did production NOT penalize him, but they also attempted to rig the game in his favor (with the round trip ticket twist). Thankfully, that rig failed.
@@Ori_Kohav Although unlike Dan, Frank actually was apologetic when he realized that his joking around had gone too far and that some of the girls were uncomfortable with it, so I'll give him some credit for having that moment of self awareness and trying to make it right, which somewhat elevates him above Dan
@Ori_Kohav survivor didnt handle it correctly. They waited way too long
dan was a villainous person, not a villainous player. what made this season so rough to watch was the producers edited his situation as if he was a villainous PLAYER.
Hated how Dan was so butthurt about Mike being good and wining immunities. Like if he didn’t he would have been sent home and Dan acted like that’s what he should have done 😂
i really appreciate the grace you showed abi - a lot of people just take her at face value and choose to see her as a horrible person, which i just don’t think is true.
I liked her! It was for sure a cultural thing. I thought Denise was so ugly towards Abby
She was the second greatest hero in Survivor history, first place being the Kucha firepit.
Especially since abi is a completely different person off the show!
the only Abi thing that really bothered me was the bracelet incident
@@kwanzaa_cake Could you remind me of this? It’s been a while since I’ve seen either of Abi’s seasons
The Season of Dan almost made me stop watching the show. I took a break for a few seasons because I couldn't believe how they handled it.
This was me as well. I applied for the first season and never missed one until 39 aired. I never did finish watching it. Yesterday was the first time I've glanced at Survivor since.
As much as Scott was a villain, especially post-merge, I found there was a lot of times where he showed some real "redeeming qualities", like in episode 6, when he gave props to Nick for keeping up the pressure in the buoy throwing challenge. And even admitting to Alisya that while he was annoyed about her cheerleading, he also recognized that it was what they needed at the time and at least she was trying to cheer everyone up.
I think there were a bunch of little lost moments like that for Scott that got lost in the editing.
He had some cool things and still very much a villain. I find the people who are rational yet still act like this the worst types of villains. He knew better.
Yeah, rewatching RN and he has his redeeming moments to be sure but when the chips are down he's unapologetically an asshole. Giving him the benefit of the doubt maybe coming from the NBA he wasn't ready for the rarefied air of Survivor lol
Most villans I enjoy watching. Colton is an exception to that. Colton is my least favorite survivor player of all time. He’s a crybaby who quits when things don’t go his way
To me, Corinne and Colton are my least favorite villains.
@@queenzoroark totally agree. Both of them are cut from the same cloth. They look as though they'd be related.
@@queenzoroark With the difference being that Corinne doesn't quit when things get hard, and she doesn't come across like this spoiled rich kid the way Colton does...she's a bitch for sure, but at least she's not a straight up racist
@@jonnymankin Sardonic Kaplan was no crybaby.
He is also racist af!
How long it took production to get rid of dan is the worst thing the show has ever done. I couldn't believe what was happening right in front of us. Yes Dan was a monster, but the fact that he got away with it for so long ON camera, should show us how harassment is so often just ignored.
"The Survivor" crew including Jeff is just as much a villain as Dan for not doing enough to stop him. Yes, they may have changed but that doesn't mean anything to me.
Survivor, The tribe has spoken
Yeah leteary is because of them that they destroyed the season if they eject dan in final 13 they cold save the season and jack in the jury cold be compreeensive but not the only eject hik after 6 People being eliminated
Literally. Damn 1 million dollars if I had a dude like that touching me without my consent Omg. I would LOSE it. I would not be able to handle it the way Kellee did. The way she tried to express it was very mature. Dan didn’t care he still touched her inappropriately without her consent KNOWING she did not consent. As a woman who grew up with a step father who was disgusting like Dan I wouldn’t be able to do that. Even just seeing it happen if it wasn’t directed to me I would be saying something. My tolerance for that stuff is so low and I can’t ever rewatch that season because it triggers me too much. Watching the crew and everyone except Janet not say anything. It’s rough. You are literally watching abuse happen and doing nothing.
I hope we eventually get to see Kelley from 39 play again.
No her tell in an interview that she dont want come not because she dont want win ths prize, but because of her being harassed and the producers only noticed it towards the end of the show and it traumatized her.
Oh Varner should have definitely been on this list. His behavior is hard to even think about.
It was one moment. That was it. And yall treated it as if he was the most evil person to ever wall the planet because he was desperate and pulled a move from way down under. Given the circumstances and his reputation, it's not even remotely that bad compared to how yall treat it to be. So not only is the situation overhated but it causes you to think the guy is a villain? What's next? A clean player in the NBA commits one dirty foul and he is now an awful, dirty player?
@@anonymousperson3023 because that one moment you're talking abt is a really sensitive topic. It doesn't matter how many mistakes a player makes in the game. It's how big they can be and by dropping what he just said in tribal council, I must say it's pretty big. Also, it's his own fault for crossing the line, as that probably will be the only thing he's remembered abt now. I used to love Varner on Outback and Second Chance, but he definitely lost me in Game Changers.

@@RedVDaveRVDTV if I'm not mistaken Jeff is a TERF on his SM so even if the victim forgave him (probably for his state of mind), Jeff has 100% backed up his bigotry that led to outing Zeke.
I feel like villain is a word that means different things to different people for Survivor/Big Brother watchers. It can be the unfun kind of villain that does stuff like racism/sexism/homophobia, or it can be the fun kind that causes general chaos.
For real...I love the Tony Vlachos/Sandra type villains who are there just to stir the pot and play a cutthroat game, but the Dan Spilo/Colton type of villains can stay off my screen for good, and I wouldn't complain
What happened during the Dan season still makes my blood boil. I will never watch it again. And for Kelli to be voted off the way she was was a huge injustice. All those women should ashamed of themselves too.
Ikr. She was such a smart player too. I loved how she hid her idol in her hair tie. It was so smart and then her fake crying when she came back from the island (where she got the idol) and taking everything out of her bag to prove she did not have one when she did was brilliant. Only wished she had played it at that tribal council. I wonder how things would have ended differently with the Dan situation is she had and was safe from being voted out.
I still think about the one guy who revealed that one of the players was trans out of pure anger. I forgot what season it was but I was shook and felt so bad for the other player who had their secrets revealed to the other players like that.
Edit- looked it up, it was Jeff Varner outing Zeke. That was just as hard to watch as it was the first time seeing it
The one survivor moment I had actualy tears. That was so awful.
Could you make a video of what changes were made to the show due to Dans behavior post season 39? I haven’t even watched the season because I had such a sour taste in my mouth from how the show handled that situation. Also love your content!!
All videos are picked by the patrons, but off the top of my head players are no longer allowed to sleep next to each other at night and cuddle.
"Among the changes CBS is making, the company is adding an “on-site professional” to offer confidential means of reporting concerns, an “enhanced” pre-production orientation with anti-harassment, unconscious bias and sensitivity training for the cast, producers and production crew, and a new rule barring “unwelcome physical contact, sexual harassment and impermissible biases.”"
@@OnceUponAnIsland oh wow! So you just have to curl up with your clothes? I’m surprised they don’t get at least like a thin blanket. Cuddling was clearly done for heat protection.
@@rhino1876 Eeeeeeh, some of it sometimes was for warmth and general comfort, some of it is shared horniness, and sometimes it's just creeping on them.
@@rhino1876 In some cases, it was because there were one or two creepers in the cast rather than just to keep warm. I remember all the way back in China, Courtney had a few confessionals about how uncomfortable she felt when Jean Robert would always want to cuddle next to her and Amanda in the shelter at night. And then there's the Ozzy/Amanda type situations where the cuddling is two hormonal people not being able to keep their hands off each other
I think Colton should be no 1. For me villain in terms of survivor just means machiavellian gameplay, their actions usually have impact only within the game. What people like Varner or D*n did may linger in other contestants for years, its beyond villanous.
If we are talking about the most hated survivors, I'm surprised that Jeff Varner isn't on the list, even if he isn't really painted as a villain in his 1st 2 seasons
He's also continued to be a villain irl
AO he was snarky, but Jerri was the most 'villainous' person on there, SC he didn't had the time to be a villain
He did his heel turn and got booted. So there really wasn't a villain arc for him on the show. After the show though...
@kevwwong Yeah but his heel turn was outting a transperson. I feel like that's enough to get a man again. I feel like that's enough to get a mention.
Great video!
Not that Survivor (especially Probst) would ever admit it, but I think the show owes a lot to Brian Heidik. His winning helps prove how unscripted the outcomes may be, as no one would ever have penned such an ending. He also starkly establishes the dark complexity of the game, where without a true villain having won, would only be supposed.
Chris Daugherty is the other side of the equation. Vanuatu was set up for the estrogen brigade to wipe out the testosterone. And then the lone rooster in the house with six hens ends up pulling off, and without any lifelines or exile, the single greatest victory up to that point. He effectively yanked the fiddle out of the producers' hands and forced the dancing shoes onto their feet. And Probster went absolutely positively utterly nuts at how powerless he was to slow the dude down let alone stop him.
@@AllRequired If I remember, Jeff absolutely hates Chris, and funny enough, it's not even because Chris is a major bullshit artist, it's that he voted out his squeeze at the time. How petty does it get, right?

Favorite villain moment: Skupin falling into the fire. Knowing what we know now, 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Anthony, he possessed child pornography on his personal computer.
So it’s interesting that the producers didn’t make a move to eject Dan UNTIL it was harassment against staff

Great, Corrine reminds me of Heather from Total Drama. I think we found who inspired the writing for her.

Wouldn't it be funny if they made a season for first boots or something and she won.
Nah, Franchessqua, sealed her own fate as her arrogance was only outdone by her ignorance!
I think Phillip is funny throughout his seasons tbh. He's not like Coach levels or anything but he's still funny to me.
His Phillipness is entertaining, but moments like Rice Wars (RI) and his handling of Brandon (that led to a rice again) just ruins the entertainment value
Phillip was easy to tolerate. Not necessarily funny, and nowhere near the energy vampire he was made out to be. If you have the patience to recognize and exploit his worth to your game, you are going to be sitting pretty at the end.
I prefer Coach to Philip
THANK YOU! Finally I see someone talking about Dan S. His actions were so inappropriate and down write disgusting. Watching the at for the first time made me feel so uncomfortable and the fact he technically made it to the finale baffles me. I just feel so bad for those women who had to deal with him for over 30 days.
100% agree that Dan was is the worst, but I think the producers also deserve the hate for that season. During the family visit episode, they brought in Dan's son and this will forever haunt the kid. They should have taken the matter seriously on the onset. The live finale with a specific segment for the apology was not enough. I can't believe I'm fuming even as I write this comment. It was such a baaaaaad season.
It's unbelievable to me that Dan Spilo is still a producer in Hollywood. I don't think people use his name as a selling point anymore but I know he's still working on some decently big projects and it makes me sick.
Really?
He’s a producer in Hollywood? I guess that’s why he was protected and not removed sooner
That makes perfect sense actually.
It would be absolutely horrible to be touched by a creeper for the entirety of the game ❤
Great list; a few more names come to mind - but much appreciated for putting Heidik on this list. You nailed it pretty well that he played a classic cutthroat game but his personality and his image on TV, well, not worthy. Same goes for most people in his season
Thanks! The list was decided by you all, the fans. 00:35
I liked Brian Heidik. He and Robb and Shi Ann were the only contestants I liked during Thailand.
It’s nice to see a Survivor list of villains that doesn’t include Coach.
I'm sure he's Top 5 on the most loved villains list
Probably because Coach isn't really hated...a lot of the fans tend to see him as this very entertaining/memorable character
🐉 🐉
Coach is a bit more of the goofball type: not really hated and more “what is he doing” type, Don’t recalling him doing anything to harm his fellow teammates or true villain tendencies.
The reason I wasn't happy with Bob winning Gabon is it made Corinne happy. I was hoping for a final 3 of Crystal, Sugar, and Susie just to see how she would handle that as a jury member.
FairPlay is a fun villain. He’s like a Beetlejuice or Bugs Bunny type of mischief
I agree 😂 like he is definitely a villain but I like watching him 😂 he wants to be the most infamous survivor villain and he does a pretty good job of it especially in sure an early season
What about NaOnka? Her ableism towards Kelly Bruno was so unforgivable
Dude I was gonna say the same thing
NaOnka should be on here. She just felt so holier-than-thou. She was so insistent on getting a physically disabled girl out of the game and even pushed her so she could grab the immunity idol. Not to mention, she literally stole Fabio's socks and was so rude to him when he confronted her about it.
I also watched Dan's season live and unfortunately, but fortunately it opened my eyes to the anger and sadness I've had about my own experiences. I had to stop watching bc i was so infuriated that he wasn't pulled immediately.
Having that anger and literally being brought to tears over him and his behavior forced me to honest about my trauma and I've been in therapy ever since.
Didn't think i would ever share this in a YT comment section.
I don't think Russel is hated considering he won fan favourite twice and once over Rupert xD
This was based on the comments people left when I asked and how many were for each person. I like Russell on the show personally.
Because of casuals
@@OnceUponAnIsland Oh okkk!!! thank you for replying love your videos!!!
You thought Rupert was rammed down people's throats? You should have seen Russell.
@@AllRequired Rupert was not entertaining. Russell Hantz was very entertaining.
people like them makes me glad we got some villains like Boston Rob that even though they're villains, they're the most lovable and iconic contestants
Great video - hope you do a most LOVED villains next 🤞
Once again, Russel will be a part of something twice and still not win
Johnny FairPlay always made me laugh. I get he’s a villain, but he’s definitely one that I don’t mind on my screen
I’m surprised Jeff didn’t make the list for outing someone on live tv, have you done a video on him?
Her dont make the list because font is yhe mostra rated players of survivor but the most hated villans and varner dont is the main villan of game changer sarah is the main villan of The season
Abi and Phillip were so annoying and sooooo frustrating to watch, but even as extremely irritating as they were to watch, they at least weren't as completely unhinged, incredibly unbearable, and/or generally monstrous as Dan S, Colton, or Brandon Hantz (HOW did *he* not make this list?! 😂)
I do have to say tho, my first thought upon seeing the title of this video was Scott's horrible bullying of Tai (and there's enough others I would add that this would probably round out to a top 20 instead of a top 10! 😂😂)
In fairness too Abi improved her game whereas Phillip was shown to be the most beautiful example how to bring someone to final tribal and traipse away with a million barely lifting a finger
I personally love Abi, and after hearing an interview about her time on the show I respect her a bit more. She actually competed through a majority of Phillippines with a torn ACL.
New to actual seasons of US survivor, been experiencing through CZcams, so haven’t watched a Ty episode let alone season but that super idol move, might just make him my number 1, loved that for him. 😅👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Great video! ❤
IDEA: I think I came up with a new good idea for a video. I'll share it as a suggestion.
I was re-watching the final tribal council from Winners at War because I love Tony's and Michelle's performances. It was something Michelle said that triggered this idea.
She says at one point that she played this game with integrity, and I realized that she indeed appears surprisingly to have done just that. It's funny to me, because usually in Survivor the players that say that, well.. they say it a lot, and they are unaware of the fact that they did NOT play with integrity.
I'm sure Michelle didn't set out to play with integrity necessarily (she probably just wanted to find a way to win), but she ended up playing that game probably because of her personality, and for sure because of her positioning in the game, not having the control.
It would be super interesting to me to see a top, or a video about the players that actually played with integrity, real integrity, not Coach Wade - integrity. 🤣
I guess it would be kinda difficult to make a video about that. First you need to define it. And we only see what production chooses to show us in 42 minute per episode... I wonder if I can think right now of any other players that fit this.
Hmm, Ian from Palau? Colby? Woo? I'm not sure about Woo. Why did he choose Tony? Because of loyalty? But even so, the rest of his game I don't feel he played with integrity, I don't know.
Did Lil' from Pearl Islands play with integrity? I don't remember 😂
I can't think of any more at the moment, but I feel that there are some players that probably were mid-game boots.
Hmm, Morriah from Survivor 43? She was too nice for the game 😂
Ok, this all the effort I'm gonna do. It would be awesome if you like the idea and make a video about this or something similar if you find an angle you like better.
Much love ❤️
Great idea! The patrons pick what videos I make.
@@OnceUponAnIsland ok, no worries. Much love ❤️
I'd add Ethan and Natalie White as players who played as honest a game as you can have on Survivor
I watched survivor as a kid, I always saw it as a physical competition only, but watching Russell I quickly realized how much strategy and being social was integral at having a shot to win. My family loved to hate him, there was a time where I thought (and kind of hoped due to how entertaining he was) he would win, glad he didn't tho, man was a total villain.
Scott and Jason were truly the worst
They were so hard to watch and it was so unnecessary.
Because I know sports and Survivor don't necessarily have a huge overlap, I enjoy pointing out that Scot constantly flaunted being a "champion." In the season he's referring to, he played in 22 games of an 82-game season (in those, averaging less than 8 minutes per 48-minute game), and didn't play in the playoffs at all.
I've never understood all the hate that pair gets. They were bullies, and I would never want to end up on a tribe with them, but in comparison to some of the absolute lunatics Survivor has allowed on the show, I don't think they were that terrible.
@@Rodanguirus omg I just had a good chuckle thank you.
Nah they were fun. Definitely brought entertainment and their teamwork was effective if Ty didn't betray the team
Corinne’s final speech is absolutely ICONIC.
Although I agree Russel went too far on many occasions, and in my opinion was never going to win, I cannot help but enjoy watching him. He burns others all the time but he also was a machine at finding idols and making plans alike. I do not think he will ever win if he came back again, but I have a feeling it would still be entertaining.
russel calling the girls dumb pissed me off
Dan grossed me and my mom out the whole season and we literally cheered when he got kicked off
Phillip being covered in mud and getting into that swimming pool without showering was a great moment.
another bonus to colton’s horrible time on survivor is we got to meet caleb. he was a truly wonderful person from what we knew, and i’m glad we got to experience him before the world lost him too soon.
I feel like Dan wasn't Purpled because the show didnt want to give the impression it was covering up something. They wanted to be transparent about the incidents and how they dealt with it.
People behave differently around others when no one is looking. Dan is very self aware b/c cameras were always rolling, so that is a sign of his total apathy about Kelle's verbal requests. So just b/c his asshole tribe pretended and feigned ignorance- he's ultimate insurance as the GOAT, should not have given the producers an easy out. But hey, they let Skupin burn in the fire and clue Russell into where the hidden idols are, I guess camera people aren't coat checked for their brain either.
Funny how Abi is in Top 10 most hated but on another survivor channel, she won a poll for 25 and came 2nd in a poll for 31
Lol I personally loved every moment Phillip was on screen. Dude is hilarious
Do you guys think we will ever have a season that's all returning players, but the gimmick for that season is that they are all controversial.
Not in this era. I think the prime time for this to happen was seasons 21-27. Some might even say season 26 was half controversial.
Ya okay, in THIS day in age? 🤣😅
Not gonna lie I find Brian Heidik endearing in a Patrick Bateman kind of way.
I'm glad to watch one of these videos for once and not be assaulted by the clip of Varner outing Zeke. A small thing but welcome, feels like a lot of others put that clip in just for the ragebait or something.
I did detest Scott at the time, but his Ponderosa video, which I didn't see till years later, paints him in a very sympathetic light. I also enjoyed his robust rebuke of Michelle's win in Russell Hantz's Top 100 ranking, though I was off-put by his contempt for Tai in the same, in what was otherwise a very positive, complimentary series.
I go to school with Fairplay’s kid, he never talks about the guy which is understandable. Fairplay also lives in the same town as me and I’ve heard he’s got quite the reputation but I’ve never seen him around 🤷🏻♂️
If there was one villain I certainly didn't like, it would have to be Kass from Survivor: Cagayan. She literally betrayed the entire Aparri alliance.
Thaï is such a legend for saying no to Scott 😂
Caramoan is my guilty pleasure season i genuinely love it so much. The phillip/brandon fight is one of my all time favorite scenes of survivor and i rewatch it all the time for laughs.
Great list, but I don't understand how you can make a list of Survivor Villains that includes Scot but not Jason.
00:34 he didn't get enough comments.
@@OnceUponAnIsland Ah yes, right, forgot about that.
Colton tricking the entire male tribe to go to tribal after a win just shows how stupid that entire tribe was.
Haven't seen season 39 (need to hunker down and watch them on paramount plus one of these years) but seriously am inwardly cringing at #1 and I am a hugging person. Flashbacks to a rough time in my life when I was living in a group home and trying to get on my feet and one of the other people as I was sleeping would touch my toes. I was on the couch in the living area for reasons I won't go into because it's complicated and he came out and started playing with my toes. I'm inwardly cringing remembering that (he wasn't right in the head to say the least) and now seeing #1 having massive flashbacks to that... and again. I'm a hugger person, but you better not be some strange person on a TV show whom I just met ... or living in a group home with for personal reasons and you're twice my age.
"the black eye of the survivor franchise as far as winners"
Heh, you can tell this was made in September.
@Natalie wdym? He just ran for an won a seat as a state legislature. I don't get what you're referring to
Abi is one of my favorite players ever 😭 I legit wanted her to win 25 idk why she’s just so fun and real
oh and dishonorable mentions:
eliza
Ami(soley for vanuatu)
rodney
rocky
Drea(for...you know, reasons at ponderosa)
Eliza is a villain?
In Vanuatu Eliza is a villain.
bro Eliza was bullied in Fans vs. Favorites
@@tjwilkerson2589 vanuatu eliza
I wouldn't say Ami was a hated villain though, because even though there's no denying her villain status in Vanuatu, she was still a fan favorite when the season ended, so I wouldn't put her in this video. Everyone else though, I agree with you
Dan is definily not the most rated villan of survivor but the most rated player ever what her do dont cold be forgiven and the fact that the producers only eject himm after 6 People being eliminated.
CONGRATULATIONS DAN YOU HAD THE GLORY OF DESTROYED A SEASON ONLY BECAUSE OF YOU,colton is a angel conpared to you .
“My mouth is dry, I’m getting treatment”
Will there be a counterpart to this. "Top 10 beloved villains" and the same two tvideos for heroes
If the patrons pick that then sure!
I'm already predicting Coach and Ami will be on the beloved villains rankings, because they get a lot of love among the fanbase despite their villain status, and same with Courtney, because even though she has no problem ripping everyone to shreds in her confessionals, she doesn't get anywhere near the same level of hate that someone like Corinne would
