Worst Survivor Casts – Number 5: Fiji (Season 14)

There’s a reason only one player has returned from Survivor: Fiji and it’s because that cast was a train wreck. The only likable people were Earl, Michelle, and Yau Man while the rest were either unpleasant or invisible so we hardly knew they existed.

Lisi and Rocky are not only the two worst people on Fiji, but they might be two of the worst contestants to ever appear on Survivor. Rocky was a bully and the way he treated Anthony was despicable. Lisi wasn’t much better and was fortunate to have lasted as long as she did in the game by being on the “Haves” tribe (worst twist ever).

This was a season filled with nicknames too, as we had Rocky, Dreamz (yes, that was his nickname), and Boo. Dreamz obviously is remembered for his decision to not give up the immunity necklace after he promised Yau Man that he would.

While Fiji was bad enough as is, try imagining it without Earl and Yau Man as part of the cast. It’d likely have been the worst season of all-time if neither of those guys had been included. They carried this season and thankfully, Earl won and is still considered as one of the better winners in the history of the show.
