‘Survivor’ Season 36: This Player May Be 1 of the Worst of All Time

In the 18-year history of Survivor, there have been plenty of terrible players, including Francesca Hogi, who managed to get voted out first in two separate seasons. But in Season 36, a player has already emerged as one of the worst ever, as his time on the show was an absolute trainwreck.

He made crucial mistake after crucial mistake to the point that we actually felt bad for him, and his elimination was inevitable basically from the get-go. Here’s a look at the downfall of one of the worst Survivor players ever.

The contestant who became one of the worst in recent memory is 22-year-old Jacob Derwin. In pre-season promotional material, Jacob talked about being a superfan of the show. He said in an interview that he’s been dreaming of winning Survivor since he was a kid.

During the actual episode, this is something Jacob makes clear as well. But making it so well-known that he’s an obsessed fan would wind up contributing to his downfall. And despite being such a hardcore fan, his performance got off to a terrible start.
