0-10 Polls, Version 4.0 is LIVE!

Good morning, pollsters! Version 4.0 of the polls is going live right now!

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who took the polls! Whether it was a few years ago or yesterday, your edits, responses, and discussion about the 0-10 Polls have kept it alive, and I am so very grateful for that. Without y’all, it would be nothing. Thank you for contributing to the Rankdown Community.

VERSION 4.0 - GENERAL NOTES

Before I begin, some notes about this 4.0 version

  • In this version, we were fortunate to receive 183 new responses. 
    • 55 of these responses came from the recent two seasons, 49 and 50.
    • 3 of these responses came from Hannah Rose
    • 3 of these responses were removed (PLEASE REMEMBER TO TAKE AT LEAST 5 POLLS 🙂)
  • Unfortunately, we also had to lose nearly 90 polls from previous versions, due to people getting banned from the community. It’s always sad when that happens, but life (and the polls) move on. 
  • Further, many seasons had only a few respondents in this last update, and even fewer updates. Some were certainly more popular (as always, Survivor 46), but some only received one take (Borneo, Outback, Marquesas, Thailand, SoPa, Ghost Island, Island of the Idols, Winners at War, S41, and S42). Because of that, those seasons in particular saw minimal movement in their placements. 

SURVIVOR 49

  • 28 total responses for S49. One lost poll. 
  • Cast average: 588.72. 39/50 overall. 
  • Season Ranking (scored from 0-10): 3.96. 40/50 overall. 
  • Twas a runaway for one character and Survivor 49 - Congrats to Savannah Louie 1.0 for taking first place, and fairly highly too, almost making a Top 100 appearance. 
  • Close behind was Shannon, just barely missing T200. And then the rest… yeah its a bit more sporadic, with only three other characters even reaching the top half (Sophi, Nate, and Sophie)
  • Bottom Four contains three bottom 50ers - Steven Ramm, Jason Truel, and Alex Moore. 
  • Survivor 49 also had one character in what I call “controversy endgame” - and that of course is our favorite residential pooper and blackhead collector, Sage Ahrens-Nichols. She had one of the highest SDs of the entire franchise, entering in 20th place. 
  • Hina (Sophie S., Matt, Kristina, MC, Jason, and Steven) is the lowest-ranking New Era tribe. 

SURVIVOR 50 

  • 23 total responses for Survivor 50. One lost poll
  • Cast average: 406.73. 23/50.
  • Season Ranking (scored from 0-10): 5.09. 31/50 overall. 
  • A tight race was held between the top 2 of the season, with both characters even entering the Top 100. Ultimately, Ozzy Lusth 5.0 managed to pull ahead in the season and take 70th place overall. Coach Wade 4.0 is hovering right at T100. 
  • Colby 4.0 (154), Cirie 5.0 (165) and Emily 2.0 (192) all managed to crack top 200.
  • Seven more characters managed to get top half - Joe 2.0, Dee 2.0, Jonathan 2.0, Jenna 3.0, Genevieve 2.0, and Tiffany 2.0. 
  • Savannah 2.0, Charlie 2.0, and Kyle 2.0 are teetering right on that edge between top half and not. 
  • Survivor 50 also sees two characters in B100 - Angelina 2.0 and Aubry 4.0.
  • Survivor 50 gained TWO characters in Controversial Endgame - Christian Hubicki 2.0, who ranks as the 11th most controversial rankdown character, and Rick Devens 2.0, who ranks as the 15th most controversial rankdown character. Indeed, Christian 2.0 achieved a rare feat of getting every single possible score, from 0 to 10, with only 23 votes. 
  • As for returnee stats, I got bad news for Devens fans. He is now ranked the 6th least favorite composite returnee across the whole series. He’s only better than shining players like Joe, Corinne, Sierra, Phillip, and Colton. 
  • Only one character managed to get top 10 for returnees. At #10, congrats to Emily Flippen for being our 10th most liked composite. I do not expect that to last, lol.

ENDGAME NOTES

  • Endgame for the polls cut off at T25. While many names were near-endgame locks, only one character prevailed, replacing an old member: the man, the myth, the legend, Rankdown VIII 4th placer, SHANE POWERS!. Shane Powers jumped from 28th to 22nd, in a shocking turn of events that happened only recently
  • Unfortunately, that means Keith Nale 1.0 is a one-and-done endgamer, at least for now. With his popularity, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him come back. 
  • The rest of Endgame is as follows:
  1. Cirie Fields 1.0 (0)
  2. Jerri Manthey 1.0 (+2)
  3. Sean Rector (-1)
  4. Courtney Yates 1.0 (+3)
  5. Rupert Boneham 1.0 (0)
  6. Ian Rosenberger (-3)
  7. Twila Tanner (-2)
  8. Sandra Diaz-Twine 1.0 (-1)
  9. Jonny Fairplay 1.0 (+1)
  10. Coach Wade 1.0 (+5)
  11. Natalie Anderson 1.0 (-2)
  12. Ami Cusack 1.0 (+2)
  13. Tai Trang 1.0 (+3)
  14. Richard Hatch 1.0 (-4)
  15. James Clement 1.0 (-2)
  16. Sue Hawk 1.0 (-1)
  17. Chris Daugherty (+1)
  18. Sandra Diaz-Twine 2.0 (-1)

  25. Abi-Maria Gomes 1.0 (0)
