Most Annoying "Survivor" Contestants

The Top Ten
NaOnka Mixon NaOnka Mixon was one of the most outspoken contestants on Survivor: Nicaragua (Season 21). She was known for her direct and unapologetic approach to the game, often engaging in heated confrontations with fellow players. However, she ultimately quit the competition in Episode 11, alongside Kelly "Purple... read more

Isn't it true that NaOnka means "Annoying little pissant" in some obscure language?

Coach Wade Benjamin Wade, commonly called "Coach," made his first appearance on Season 18, "Survivor: Tocantins," making it to the final five.

He returned for Season 20, "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains," where he was voted out as the first member of the jury, following the strategy of a Russell Hantz-led alliance.

Three seasons later, on "Survivor: South Pacific," he played a strong strategic and social game, reaching the Final Tribal Council. He ultimately lost to Sophie Clarke, who won in a 6-3 vote.

Get over yourself, big boy. Grow up.

Russell Hantz Russell Hantz is an oil company owner and former contestant on the reality television show Survivor. He competed in three seasons: Survivor: Samoa, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, and Survivor: Redemption Island... read more

I would be so angry if I was on Survivor with Russell!

Denise Martin School lunch lady Denise made it deep into Season 15, "Survivor: China," being voted out at the Final Four.
Shane Powers Shane was one of the more colorful characters in Season 12, "Survivor: Panama" (Exile Island), being part of the Casaya alliance that made it all the way to the end, finishing in fifth place.
Jonny Fairplay Jon Dalton, commonly known as Jonny Fairplay, competed in Season 7, "Survivor: Pearl Islands," where he used deception and strategy to reach the Final Three.

He returned for Season 16, "Survivor: Micronesia" (Fans vs. Favorites), but requested to be voted out early, and was the first person eliminated.
Andria Herd Andria "Dreamz" Herd shifted between alliances throughout Season 14, "Survivor: Fiji," including a key moment when he reversed a deal with Yau-Man Chen and voted him out at the Final Four.

He received no votes at the Final Tribal Council and has not returned for a subsequent season.

About as easy to predict his gameplay as a tornado's movements. And just as loud and windblown.

A liar of the worst kind. Absolutely no social graces, whatsoever.

Corinne Kaplan Corinne played a strategic game during her debut in Season 17, "Survivor: Gabon," and made a memorable speech as a jury member, criticizing two of the finalists.

She returned for Season 26, "Survivor: Caramoan" (Fans vs. Favorites II), where she was eliminated shortly before the jury phase.
Colton Cumbie Colton Cumbie made his first appearance on Season 24, Survivor: One World. Over the course of six episodes, he was widely criticized for his caustic behavior, including comments perceived as racist and classist. He left the game after being medically evacuated due to acute appendicitis symptoms, though... read more

You mean Colton Cry-Baby, don't you? Let's see -- alienate half your tribe with racial and or class insults, ignore your tribe-mates and try to join the other tribe, and leading the charge to give away Tribal Immunity. And that's not counting his two -- yes, TWO -- quits!

(sigh) This little bug had no business coming anywhere near Survivor. He should just sit in his mansion and practice self-isolation for the next...oh, forty to fifty years. Absolutely nothing to contribute to society, except perhaps an example of what NOT to present to people.

J'Tia Taylor Part of the "Brains" tribe on Season 28, "Survivor: Cagayan" (Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty), J'Tia was involved in a conflict at camp that included discarding the tribe's rice supply.

Despite this, she survived the next Tribal Council but was later voted out in 15th place.

Have you ever heard of starvation? Maybe you should have learned about it before going on Survivor and pouring all of the rice into the fire.

I think most of us are still wondering why she got put on the "Brains" tribe. She certainly didn't show any.

There's being confidence enough to express oneself decently, and then there's the opposite -- J'Tia.

The Newcomers

? Brandon Quinton Brandon made a notable appearance on Season 3, "Survivor: Africa," advancing in the game until being voted out during the jury phase.

Are you kidding? This little corker would complain if he won the Worldwide $4.2 billion lottery.

Brandon acted like a little crybaby during his entire run on Africa.

No purpose being on Survivor. A twisted little spoiled millennial.

? Kat Edorsson Kat was part of the women's alliance and progressed deep into the game in Season 24, "Survivor: One World," before being voted out shortly before the finale.

She returned for Season 27, "Survivor: Blood vs. Water," where she was eliminated early in the game.
The Contenders
Alicia Rosa Alicia rode the all-women's alliance in Season 24, "Survivor: One World," going deep into the game until she was betrayed by her alliance-mates Kim, Sabrina and Chelsea, and voted out 5th.
Sandra Diaz-Twine Sandra Diaz-Twine is an American television personality who became known for her appearances on the reality game show Survivor. She's well known for being the first person to win twice, being the victor in Season 7, "Survivor: Pearl Islands" and Season 20, "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains." She later... read more
Trish Hegarty Trish was a loyal partner to Tony Vlachos in her appearance on Season 28, "Survivor: Cagayan," only to be voted out by her mates just before the end, finishing 5th.

She needs to talk to Tony about paying for the burns that were caused by his saddle.

Kass McQuillen Notable as being possibly the greatest alliance-flipper in "Survivor" history, Kass made her first appearance on Season 28, "Survivor: Cagayan," going all the way to the final three. She later appeared on Season 31, "Survivor: Second Chances."
Richard Hatch Richard Holman Hatch Jr. is an American former reality television contestant, being the winner of the very first season, "Survivor: Borneo." He later appeared on Season 8, "Survivor: All-Stars," before being convicted of tax evasion for not reporting his winner's earnings and serving two years in jail... read more
Danielle DiLorenzo Danielle made her first appearance on Season 12, "Survivor: Panama" (Exile Island), riding with her Casaya mates all the way to the end and losing in a 5-2 vote to Aras.

Returning for Season 20, "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains," she went deep with her Villain tribe-mates until betrayed by Russell Hantz, finishing in the jury phase.
Abi-Maria Gomes Abi-Maria was a notorious presence during her first appearance on Season 25, "Survivor: Philippines," then made a return appearance on Season 31, "Survivor: Second Chances."

In both seasons, her fiery temper and acid tongue alienated many other contestants and viewers.

I wouldn't have cried at all if a coconut fell on her head and knocked her senseless during a confessional. In fact, I would have applauded Mother Nature.

Go back to Brazil. Or the South Pole. Either way, don't bother us. Ever. Again.

Pretty, but she's such an annoying presence that it just doesn't matter.

Tarzan Smith Greg "Tarzan" Smith was a plastic surgeon who was a notable character on Season 24, "Survivor: One World," betraying the males of his tribe in an effort to get deep into the game.

He was only partly successful, being voted out sixth by the all-female alliance that stood firm throughout the game.
Courtney Yates Courtney, a waitress from New York, had hardly seen any "Survivor" footage before she appeared on Season 15, "Survivor: China." She went deep with her Fei Long tribemates and finished runner-up to Todd.

Returning for Season 20, "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains," she got on the wrong side in the Villains alliance and was voted out in the early jury.

Well, weren't WE blessed by having this skinny little ray of sunshine cross on our paths for not one but two Survivors! Hope she makes a lot of money waitressing, because her only other skill seems to be snarkiness.

She's not funny. She's not talented. She's not good at strategy. She's not particularly attractive. She's. Just. Not.

Candice Cody Candice made her first appearance on Season 13, "Survivor: Cook Islands," and was notable for mutinying against the Aitu Four with only twelve players remaining. However, her new tribe went on a losing streak that resulted in her quick expulsion.

Returning as a Hero for Season 20, "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains," she flipped on the Hero alliance and was quickly labeled unworthy and voted out soon after.

Her final appearance was as a replacement couple, with her husband John, in Season 27, "Survivor: Blood vs. Water." She was quickly identified as a flipper and voted out early in the game.
Shambo Waters Shannon "Shambo" Waters was a notable character on Season 19, "Survivor: Samoa." An outcast on the Galu Tribe, she flipped to the Foa Foa Four and went deep into the game with them, being voted out sixth when there were no other options except for her to be chosen.

If there was an option in "Survivor" to trade a player to the other tribe, Shambo would have been first on my list in any season.

Troy Robertson Loud and proud, Troy "Troyzan" Robertson, originally from Spokane Valley, Washington, appeared first on Season 24, "Survivor: One World." He went to the mid-game strongly, proclaiming multiple times, "This is MY Island!" only to be voted out eighth.

Returning for Season 34, "Survivor: Game Changers," he rode his alliance to the finals, taking third place and getting no jury votes.
Nina Acosta An outcast from the younger women on the Salani Tribe almost from the beginning of Season 24, "Survivor: One World," Nina became the first contestant voted out. (Courtney Moon was medically evacuated with a broken wrist.)
Sophie Clarke A polarizing personality, Sophie made her first appearance on Season 23, "Survivor: South Pacific." Her alliance with Benjamin "Coach" Wade and Albert Destrade carried through to the finals, where she won over Coach in a 6-3 decision.

She returned for Season 40, "Survivor: Winners at War."
Jean-Robert Bellande "The Bad Boy of Poker," Jean-Robert made a notable impression on Season 15, "Survivor: China," where he rode his tribe's alliance into the jury phase, only to be famously voted out when he showed his strategic thinking skills.

Biggest example of a giant man with a little fuse (or sausage as our friend Boston Rob would say).

He has about all the social graces of a mosquito, and just as much of a pest.
