"The Camwhore Curse"

The latest poll results have just finished up here on Survival of the Snarkiest! Many thanks to all our voters. And now, for the results!

1) Jeanette Buendia
2) Marvia Jones
3) Mae St. Clair
3) Timothy Walker
3) Panya Bishara
4) Bobby Goldman
4) Glen Bole
4) Harold Smythe
4) Nate Chauncey
5) Sidney Cole

Unlike last time, our results were pretty clear. Jeanette and Marvia quickly shot to the top of the poll. Jeanette via her beach striptease and hula wearing adventures, Marvia for the now infamous "Drug-Sex" scene with Nate Chauncey. Although Marvia put up a fight, Jeanette managed to extend an early lead and come out victorious.

Interesting to note the low ranking of all the males. Yes, it's true that "Camwhore" mainly refers to fan service, but I'd make an argument that Timothy Walker's camera talk makes him far more guilty of "Camwhore" behavior then most, and out of all those tied for third place I personally believe he deserved to medal.

Now, many were opposed to running such a poll so early in the competition, but there were several reasons for this, most importantly the often mentioned "Camwhore Curse". A trend noticed on several reputable SotF blogs (Notably MarWIN's) shows most if not all students displaying "Camwhore" tendencies die out well before the halfway point. In a game like SotF there is no room for mistakes, and those who are intent on hogging screen time often make critical errors.

Time to weigh in on the matter SotF fans. Does this Poll speak truth? Are the front runners doomed to die? Any likely subversions? Comment below!

  1. With this crew, I expect the curse will stay strong. I have been trumpeting my hunch that Marvia is totally fucked from the rooftops enough already, so I will not go into much more detail here and now. Suffice to say, I suspect she will be out quite soon.

  2. Name three camwhore in the top 4 in the last twenty seasons.

    Jessica Carnival (2nd, Season 56) and... that's pretty much it. Not saying that we're going to break the curse this season, but I don't think we've met anyone smarter/more genre-savvy than Jess currently.

  3. The only possible subversion I can see in the higher ranks is Timothy, perhaps Panya (depending on how that beach encounter plays out).

    Bottom half seems somewhat safer, but I'm not counting on any of them breaking the Top 10.

  4. God, I don't even know how Mae like got that high all she's been doing is sitting at a stupid picnic table.

  5. I believe she garnered several votes based off her budding relationship with Shawn, as well as stripping naked to put on that Geisha costume.
