Just been reading this list and even though I don't agree with everything that's been included I've found the write ups to be fair and rational. It's been a very good read.

I'll comment on who you've ranked so far:

Earl: I would definitely rank him in my Top Ten (maybe even Top 5). Based on the write up I'm curious how he ended up lower than Cassandra and especially Dreamz.

Steph: Steph is interesting because most people would either put her very high (which wouldn't be right) or very low (which is obviously wrong too). She makes sense here, although I think women like Teresa/Peih Gee furfilled the same role to an extent.

Neleh: She definitely deserves credit for being a part of such a significant moment in the game's strategic history, but she doesn't really compare to Vecepia and Kathy (who probably isn't appearing I'm guessing).

Tina: Personally she's my number 2 of all time and best woman. The write does her justice though despite not really matching the placement (like with earl).

Colby: Colby's right where he should be, he really shouldn't be punished over one single decision, big as it was.

Ami: Here's the thing with Ami for me. If the women had indeed voted out Chris at the Final 7, the pecking order was definitely suited more towards Leann than Ami (since Ami/Leann/Julie would've been the Final 3 and Leann was therefore guaranteed the Finals). Plus although Leann outed Scout's position in front of Ami and she was clearly shocked, what did Ami do about it? Not a damn thing. She didn't reassure Scout, she didn't speak up to Scout later on, she didn't make any attempt to fix it. She loses huge points for that from me.

Cassandra: The problem with Cassandra is that she had an longevity strategy, but not a winning strategy. There's a clear difference between the two. Also I'd argue her jury speech is the worst ever, considering her points included her maternal instincts and her inability to swim. She had no chance either way, but she deserved no votes based on her performance.

Danielle: Like Cassandra I don't feel she had a winning strategy but a longevity strategy. I know her original plan was with Cirie and Bruce, but they would've beaten her too.

Dreamz: A very suprising inclusion for me. My interpretation of Dreamz is that he had no real rationality in how he approached the game, and his social game was all kinds of awful. And it's kinda pointless to make Final Two arguments since if Fiji was a Final Two he wouldn't have lasted past four because the challenge order would've been switched up. The Final Four and Three challenges shift up a place and a different challenge is at the Final 5 (unless rthe new challenge is the Final Six one and Boo wins that with Dreamz going 3-2).. Whoever of Dreamz/Boo doesn't win is out (Earl would've given Yau the idol at this point since he still needed him). At Four Yau Man wins the blindfolded Maze challenge. If Dreamz survived the previous tribal he needs Cassandra to force a tie and to beat Earl in the tiebreaker. It would've been a longshot.

Ken: I only just watched Gabon recently for the first time and I actually wouldn't put anybody from that season on a list like this except maybe Susie. Everyone else made easily avoidable mistakes at some point. I liked him lot though and he's top two for that season gameplay wise.

Vecepia: I think her placement is about right, most likely I'd have her higher than here. The only real issue is the Purple Rock thing, and where I'd rank Kathy on a list like this.
