LAST EDITED ON 05-19-10 AT 02:38 PM (EST)Rank this season's contestants on a 1-10 scale in the following categories:
Physical includes: performance in activity-based challenges (and public perception as a challenge threat), the amount of gruntwork contributed to the tribe, raw strength and endurance.
Mental incorporates: understanding of both the game's dynamics and the players in it, logic-based plays, performance in thought-based challenges, innovation, knowledge of local environment and hazards, idol usage (where applicable), raw intelligence and perception.
Social can factor in: the ability to construct and maintain alliances, emotion-based plays, food providing (more of a social play than anything else), relationships with other players, raw charisma and presence.
The season's cast list, in boot order:
Jessica "Sugar" Kiper
Stephenie LaGrossa
Randy Bailey
Cirie Fields
Tom Westman
Tyson Apostol
James Clement
Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano
Benjamin "Coach" Wade
Courtney Yates
James "J.T." Thomas, Jr.
Amanda Kimmel
Candice Woodcock
Danielle DiLorenzo
Rupert Boneham
Colby Donaldson
Jerri Manthey
Russell Hantz
Parvati Shallow
Sandra Diaz-Twine
Remember: these are extremely subjective. This is your personal perception for the contestant, and ratings are going to vary. Based on prior history, people generally manage to agree on player names... Regardless, rank 'em and then rank on 'em to justify the numbers. It's sort of cleansing.
Safe prediction: Colby's Physical rating is about to enter freefall.

20. Sugar - P2, M2, S4 - (8)
Fairly useless physically but tried hard. Mentally did nothing to advance herself. Socially she was fairly likable, but not enough to get by the first vote.19. Stephanie- P6, M3, S4 - (13)
Always physical, but it never seems to matter. Mentally did nothing to succeed in the game. Socially was somewhat hamstrung. Again, not enough.
18. Randy - P2, M4, S2 - (8)
Sugar's male equal. I give him a 4 mentally for at least trying to save himself by suggesting Parvati. Always a disaster socially.
17. Cirie - P5, M7, S6 - (18)
Physically rather useful during team challenges. Mentally strong but foolishly changed her game and paid for it. Socially good but not enough to change anything.
16. Tom - P6, M7, S5 - (18)
Physically strong but not as good as in Palau. Mentally as sharp as ever. Socially decent but same as Cirie.
15. Tyson - P6, M5, S7 - (18)
Always decent physically. T is a smart guy but made a huge mental error here. Socially his game is underrated as he had given himself the ability to go in a couple different directions.
14. James - P8, M3, S4 - (15)
Didn't play very well this time. Strong as always, poor mental game as usual, but this time lacking social play as well.
13. B-Rob - P9, M8, S8 - (25)
Physically dominant again. Mentally very sharp. Though he had never played against an HII, his split the vote plan was perfect to deal with it. Socially the best game he ever played. His very attitude seemed to lift the Villians.
12. Coach - P8, M5, S6 - (19)
Much improved physically. Mentally improved as well but flawed in the end. Socially, much better liked this time around.
11. Courtney - P2, M4, S6 - (12)
Pretty much the same as in China, though maybe a tad better socially.
10. JT - P6, M6, S5 - (17)
JT stepped back in probably all 3 categories. Not as physical, too many mistakes mentally, and his overaggressive play cost him socially.
9. Amanda - P5, M5, S8 - (18)
Always a social star and decent physically. She made too many mental mistakes this time around though.
8. Candice - P6, M5, S4 - (15)
Physically underrated. Mentally always seems hit or miss. Socially pretty much a disaster this time around.
7. Danielle - P5, M5, S5 - (15)
Decent but not great at anything this season. Her body gets a 9.
6. Rupert - P6, M5, S6 - (17(
Game was pretty much weaker than his first two tries all around. Didn't start playing mentally until desperate.
5. Colby - P4, M3, S4 - (11)
Dude should retire from Survivor, obviously.
4. Jerri - P5, M6, S7 - (18)
Strong game for Jerri. She made several crucial moves, though she may have outthought herself with eliminating Danielle. Socially her best game ever.
3. Russell - P6, M8, S5 - (19)
Mentally almost perfect except for a couple key mistakes. Socially, he is strong when it comes to his own alliance, just an abject failure with the jury.
2. Parvati - P8, M8, S6 - (22)
Strongest game physically for Parvati. Also a great performance mentally. Socially she was not as good as prior seasons. She just accepted herself as a target and hardly seemed to try socially.
1. Sandra - P1, M8, S6 (15)
Might have played the best mental game, arguably. Socially, she was better than PI, but not by much.
