I legitimately don't dislike anyone on this season. Some I did kind of dislike have grown on me (Reem after re-watch from missing parts of the premiere, Wardog after a few episodes). On the other hand, there's not too many I feel strongly good about either so far. I mostly just care about the two returnees in Kelley & David... and then I'm kinda rooting for the returnees on the other tribe as well.

I didn't realize I liked Chris more than that many people on the cast until I thought about it for this ranking and that's what made me realize I think this cast is lacking good, big characters out of the newbies. He's easily top 1-3 from the newbies and even though I did like him there's no way I rank him a top 3 castaway on almost any other Survivor casts.
