The Challenge: Cast Member Rankings

  120. Simone (Battle of the Exes 2) Another example why there was no point to adding AYTO people. I kind of liked Simone, she was a firecracker. But overall, she didn’t add anything to the show than another (actual RW/RR/Challenge) cast member could have provided. Maybe it’s harsh to put her dead last, but it doesn’t feel right putting her above anyone else. 119. Priscilla (Battle of the Exes) So, I actually like Priscilla and I think she showed a teeny bit of promise socially in her one episode, but the fact is she didn’t even compete in a mission since her partner failed so hard. She did pretty well in her elimination though, at least if memory serves. 118. Sydney (Fresh Meat 2) Okay, this might be unfair because I don’t remember much about Sydney except that she was CJ’s partner. With that said, she seemed pretty cool and way too level-headed for the challenge. But it’s possible I’m forgetting some sort of freakout? If so, than maybe she deserves a higher ranking. 117. Angel (Gauntlet 3) Angel actually did surprisingly well against Jillian in her elimination and she even had a little 1 episode showmance with Nehemiah but that’s not enough in this sea of people. Plus, she’s on my permanent shit list for calling Kina a “freaking transvestite” (what? I can’t be unbiased the WHOLE time) 116. Flora (Battle of the Seasons) If this were a list of the best Real Worlders, Flora would be closer to the top; but as it stands, she (intentionally) made no splash on her only challenge season. 115. Sandy (Fresh Meat 2) Okay, Sandy was annoying right? Like, she had potential but was kind of terrible at missions and annoying right? Plus, I mostly just remember her because she was Danny’s partner and Danny and Sandy reminded me of Grease. 114. Laura (Battle of the Seasons 2) I’m convinced that Laura is untapped potential. Sure she’s mostly boring, but I think she’s probably competitive and better at missions than this season allowed her to be. Plus, she was attached to Trey this whole season since they were fresh off their RW season where she was effectively his doormat. I’d like to see solo Laura because I think she could show us something. However, she really didn’t make a splash. In her defense, it’s hard to look entertaining when the other female on your team is Marie. 113. Lacey (Battle of the Seasons 2) Okay, yes Lacey was on like 5 less episodes than Laura but she made it count. She was killing it with the one-liners (“I think they’ve kissed penises”) and her relationship with Wes was adorable. Plus, who wasn’t happy when she pulled through in the mission? Come back Lacey! 112. Brianna (Ruins) Brianna! Like Flora, if this was a list of best RW cast members, she’d be higher, but she didn’t do so hot. She got robbed! They kept fucking Casey over her and it really screwed her team. So at least there’s that. 111. McKenzie (Battle of the Seasons 2) Look, I unabashedly love McKenzie. I would love for her to come back always because I still maintain she was underrated and never got a chance to really shine. The missions kind of sucked that season but I still think Knight and Jemmye overstated how bad McKenzie was because she never really did that poorly. Please come back I love you. But I can’t rank her any higher than this. 110. Hailey (Battle of the Exes 2) Okay, now I keep saying this but I truly believe Hailey is a better competitor than we’ve been able to see so far. She killed it in her first mission and was one of the best girls for that mission. It’s a shame they did so poorly in the followup mission because I think she has real potential. Look forward to hopefully seeing her again. 109. Chanda (Fresh Meat) Alright, Chanda was kind of a beast of a competitor but there wasn’t much else there. In general, she was pretty boring. 108. Gladys (Battle of the Sexes) Gladys didn’t make it very far on her only but so what, she was PREGNANT. ON A CHALLENGE. Like, what?? That would never fly today. Plus, she was pregnant and they still voted Beth off before her. Classic. 107. Ashli (The Island) Anybody else think TJ’s rant against Ashli was mostly unwarranted? Like, she didn’t completely quit. She was injured. I don’t know, it felt weirdly unjustified and it’s one of the times I remember thinking STFU TJ, so I was happy Ashli gave him a little tude back. It’s too bad Sydney got booted from Battle of the Seasons because I bet this firecracker would be entertaining. 106. Naomi (Battle of the Exes, Rivals 2) Naomi proved on her season that she’s a hilarious little firecracker who is absolutely, unashamedly, unathletic. She confirmed that on her Challenge seasons, specifically her first one. She spent most of the time nagging Leroy and giving hilarious commentary and side-eye. Unfortunately she had to leave her second season for a family emergency, but she’s a fun one. 105. Carley (Fresh Meat 2) Carley WON her season, and I remember nothing about her other than that Landon literally carried her up a mountain. She hasn’t been back, so I feel fine ranking her this low. 104. Aviv (Fresh Meat) See Carley, minus being carried up a mountain. 103. Emilee (Cutthroat, Free Agents) Emilee has been on two challenges and 3 total episodes. She kinda sorta made out with Dustin and ran like a weirdo. That’s pretty much all you have to know. Oh, also Nany called her a slut (which, LOL, okay Nany) 102. Ayiiia (Cutthroat) Ayiiia is incredibly entertaining, as displayed by her RW season. This did not come through in her one and only challenge appearance. She made out with some chicks in a hottub and got into an argument over Cara Maria (and wasn’t wrong), but didn’t make it far enough to make much of an impression. Oh, she also completed in the show’s most absurd elimination challenge ever, which says a lot with this show. 101. Heather M (Battle of the Exes) Look, Heather showed true potential both socially and physically. Dustin ruined everything by slipping by the pool. And now, she’ll probably never be back because of her ex-relationship with Dustin. So basically, Dustin is a life-ruiner. He ruins lives. Guys and Girls 100-96 coming either tomorrow or Friday! Feel free to take some guesses (if anybody even reads this haha)

  100-96 100. Josh (Battle of the Seasons) Josh was a pretty fun and funny presence on this season, and he made it pretty far, but ultimately his team didn’t make it into the top 6 and he wasn’t around long enough to make more of an impression. 100. Cameran (Battle of the Sexes 2, Gauntlet 2) I love Cameran. She’s hilarious, she’s silly, and she’s hot. With that said, she was never around long on her challenges and she basically quit both of them so it’s unfair to rank her higher. Still, she made a bit of a splash on her first challenge (literally, she and Angela were splashing each other in the water while their team competed) and she taught us a new way to say succumb (“I circum to the gods of the Gauntlet!!”) Plus, her quitting led us to the epic Aneesa vs. Cara fight. 99. Zach M (Gauntlet 3) Poor Zach. He was just way too nice for these games. I bet he’d be a good competitor if he ever showed up again. But, he does have the distinction of having one of the few recorded haircuts on the Challenge! 99. Anastasia (Rivals 2) Anastasia hooked up with and then slapped CT. Then she lost an episode later. But still, she gets point for that alone. Did she have a mental breakdown this challenge too? Because she's prone to those. 98. Shawn (Battle of the Sexes 2) Like a lot of the other guys ranked this low, Shawn was just way too normal for these shows. But he was a cool, peaceful presence. 98. Rebecca (Extreme Challenge) Full disclosure: I don’t remember much about this Challenge, just bits and pieces. With that said, basically none of my memory includes Rebecca. She was nice and started a relationship with James which if anything, just shows she has terrible taste. But she won! First Real World team to win (and they DOMINATED). 97. Chris G (Battle of the Sexes 2) Again, this guy was just way too normal and rational to ever make much of an impression. But he was really cool and I liked how he cared for Derrick. Plus, he left the Challenge to get married and still got to come back! He was like the anti-Puck. 97. Brittany (Battle of the Exes 2) Look, Brittany talked the biggest of all games, and she did win a couple eliminations but I’m sorry, nothing her or Adam did was all that impression. She just nagged and lucked her way through to be honest. 96. JD (Cutthroat, Battle of the Seasons 2) Okay, JD was kind of entertaining on his season (remember when he smashed that glass table and like nobody batted an eyelash? Everyone was like "Oh he's just being Miley". Weird.) but he was the definition of boring on his challenges. He made it to the end of BOTSeasons 2 and still didn’t impress. He had like 3 confessionals in 10 episodes. Poor guy. 96. Michelle (Extreme Challenge) I don’t remember much about Michelle other than the fact that she was a sweetheart and was pretty solid in the missions if I recall. So for that, I don’t feel right ranking her higher. I also don’t feel right ranking her lower. Rest in peace. Thanks for the comments so far! Glad you like it. 95-90 coming soon!!
