Favorite contestant of all time?


I've only seen the recent seasons but I'd my favorite contestant is CT. He's an awesome competitor and really entertaining to watch.

Who's your favorite?

Mine's old school: Syrus. He was on Real World Boston and a few challenges, with his most recent one being The Ruins. He wasn't the best competitor but there was just something about that guy (for me anyway). Honorable Mention: Wes.

Of the women, I liked Julie Stoffer because she was a good competitor and she didn't back down to anyone, even the overrated (in my opinion) Coral. Honorable Mention: Evelyn. When it comes to the female contestants, I prefer the ones who are competitive and want to win but I also really liked Katie, who was funny and feisty but not the best at the daily missions... she was good at elimination rounds though.

I've watched all but the last couple of Challenges so it's impossible for me to pick just one favorite since there have been so many good ones over the years, some because they were great competitors and some because they were just entertaining.

Wes

I have newfound fondness for Wes. I also loved Veronica, for some reason. Don't remember why LOL.

Maybe I just love a good villain.

Veronica was a good villain but she was also a good competitor. One of my favorite memories of her was from The Ruins when she was presumed to be a guaranteed lock to go into an elimination round but things got clustered up and Ibis, who had been told that she was safe, got hosed. That grin on Veronica's face was absolutely priceless!

I hated Veronica at the time when she was constantly on the shows but now I love her. She's my favorite of all time.

That old adage "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" certainly seems to apply to the Challenges. There were people I also couldn't stand back then but would dearly love to see on another one now. If Backpack would agree to take a lengthy leave of absence, I might even be nostalgic about seeing him on one in a few years... doubtful but anything's possible!

Favorite character on the show is 100% Wes. I feel like I always got what he was doing. He knew his role after the Johanna stuff, and JEK blowing up. And every story you heard about the guy off the show was completely opposite of the character he played on the show, except for Derrick Kosinski, who never got over that time Wes beat him.

My favorite competitor, I will cop out here and name 3. I always felt Mike "The Miz" was the heart of the show, and things felt different after he left. My 2 favorite pure competitors were Ev and Landon.

Derrick needs to get over it. If CT was able to get over his hatred of Wes, I think anybody could....except for Bananas.

Wes helped CT win his first challenge. Why would CT be the benchmark for hating Wes

reply

Thats true, but before that CT freaking hated Wes with a passion...but I see your point.

Derrick was always my favorite since his Road Rules season. The guy reminds me of Wolverine. He's a short *beep* with a heart that doesn't quit. And he's scrappy as hell. His dedication to Diem during their season was really noble. He showed good character.

Wes is another favorite because he's the perfect Bananas rival. It's like Spy vs Spy with them. He's almost as good at politics as Bananas and competes athletically as well. Their fueds are nasty.

And of course Bananas because almost each season he finds a way to worm his way to the final. His politics are the best out of any competitor. His alliances are usually iron clad. I can only think of a few seasons where he was sent home early.
