I'm going to assume that this cast of fans is about average...a solid C. Like the cast of Redemption Island.

Based on that, let's see how this class of alleged Favorites goes.

Andrea Boehlke (Redemption Island) - I'm not entirely sure what exactly she succeeded at besides snuggling up to Captain Clueless and being voted out twice. But she did make Top 6. C+

John Cochran (South Pacific) - The nerd screwed up the season. Let's see if he learned from his mistakes. A-

Malcolm Freberg (Philippines) - Almost a solid contributor - but serious flaws in his game. Like Ozzy but more humble. A-

Brandon Hantz (South Pacific) - Every time CBS cast a Hantz, it got worse. From Russell I (awesome) to Russell II (still pretty good) to Russell III (a dud with no chance) to born-again Hantz (did one thing right and acted like a dope the rest of the time) to he-who-shall-not-be-named (a dud who flushed his chance down the toilet.) Guessing this one will be even worse. F

Francesca Hogi (Redemption Island) - She got voted out first. That's all I need to know. D

Corinne Kaplan (Gabon) - The Queen of Mean. Of needless mean. Of obnoxious, venomous, total-lack-of-strategy mean. D-

Brenda Lowe (Nicaragua) - Fell apart by trusting a loose cannon. Stuck on a tribe with several. C-

Dawn Meehan (South Pacific) - Tough, but doomed. A lot of potential. Won't get it done on her own. B+

Erik Reichenback (Micronesia) - Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. Bonus for irony. Negatives for being an idiot. B-

Phillip Shepard (Redemption Island) - Biggest accomplishments on the island: Pink underwear. Making up words. Mispronouncing names. Bragging about his past in a non-specific way. Dropping the N-word. Getting Ralph to vote for him. D

Average grade: C. I might stick out this season after all.
