Listen . Take notes . Pretend you are an undercover anthropologist . Write your observations eAch day . Be alert for really crazy stuff that the teaches says . This makes time go faster . Also helps you get a greater perspective of how easily people can be deceived . Good luck . <| sep |> Nope !

Not going to cut Denise , Siska , Wiglesworth , Tina , and Bob because they ' re not quite due yet . That means the decision is between Skupin and Controverchele , and that leaves . ## 141 Michael Skupin 11 th Place , AustraliaMichael Skupin is one of those people for whom I cannot ignore external factors . Even before we found out about his child pornography , pyramid schemes , and conartist past , Skupin was never quite a favourite of mine because he was really just one powerful moment . along with being a deranged person for the rest of the season . For me , I expected Skupin to be this great leader or wonderful person , due to his high presences in SR 1 and SR 2 16 th and 29 th . but he really was a hot mess on Australia . No , pun not intended . I mean , he had a litany of WTF moments , where he would appoint himself lead nutritionist of Kucha despite nobody asking for that position to even exist , pouring rice in the pot and ruining it by getting distracted , getting fish and then gathering his tribe to pray about how happy he is that he ' s in charge of Kucha , and being so entirely unaware that VarnerAlicia bristled at his mere presence . Hell , Skupin would do other creepy things such as declare that God chose him to be the leader of Kucha by the grace of God , and then the editors would utilise Psycho ' s soundtrack while Skupin would glower at the chickens with a machete in his hand . When Kimmi left the camp because Skupin got his way and because she didn ' t wish to hear chickens get slaughtered , Skupin would then declare that Kimmi was being too theatrical . Then he told Kimmi to her face that she smelled bad and acted shocked when Kimmi didn ' t interpret his words as helpful advice . And then Skupin went and slaughtered a wild boar with a machete and then painted himself with the blood of his catch . Although I get why Skupin is popular , I always found him rather creepycweepy . Furthermore , I want to ignore his outsidegame material , but Skupin was already creepy to me , and what we know about his pyramid schemesconartist wayschild pornography circles back to being a creep , making it REALLY difficult to view him in a vacuum . What we know about his external , awful choices and the generally creepy edit that Skupin got preMedEvac often intertwine , like a Gordian knot . Hence , Skupin is just a mess to rank in general what we know colours what Skupin says , and frankly , even before the child pornography and Pyramid Schemes were revealed , Skupin did get a rather creepy edit . I will NEVER be able to look at the I ' m feeling the need to shed some blood line with any shred of wow epic , not after what we now know . Although I know many consider him to be a har har so funny , he ' s a flop strategist , I still think that he was never really funny and was just weird , creepy , and selfrighteous towards Kimmi . Annnnd even before the child pornography and pyramid schemes , I had Skupin 1 . 0 around this 150 mark anyway . Hell , I had him around 200300 in a vacuum if not for one scene which propelled him to this point . Yep , we ' re talking about the Trial By Fire scene , where Skupin inhaled smoke and tumbled into the fire . Regardless of Skupin ' s creepiness or selfrighteous attitude , that scene of Skupin ' s skin peeling off and his utter agony resulted in one of Survivor ' s most intense moments . Even after an entire decade , nothing else would exemplify how real Survivor is and how different Survivor is . Skupin ' s medevac and horrific exit proved to all of us that anything could happen to anybody , and the genuine commitment of the remaining Kuchas to stick together postSkupin provided great pathos . Nothing could take that Trial By Fire away from Skupin . That singular moment and exit lifted Skupin out of the 200 s 300 s , landing him in this zone . However , I cannot in good conscience let Skupin go any further , and I sincerely hope that SR 4 at least understand why I personally don ' t want Skupin anywhere near the Top 30 in future rankdowns . Varner and Rodger are arguably stronger characters . No popculture references , because my feelings on Skupin are way too mixed , and the circumstances surrounding him make him nearly impossible to rank .
