Darrell had a lot of success but it hasn’t carried over to the individual formats.

Jordan
Bananas
Wes
CT

Then maybe Landon or Alton. Or you could maybe even keep them both and swap out Wes. But I think he likely deserves to be there, mainly for longevity of success.

Bananas is the most well rounded.
Jordan is the best competitor in final challenges.
CT probably the toughest elimination challenger.

The next 3 would be Wes (well rounded), Darrell (Finals), and Derrick K (elimination).

I think Bananas and Wes are my top 2 overall when it comes to impact on the show. They were the 2 that completely embraced trying to make good interesting television content.

Landon is just outside that group of 6 for me mainly due to lack of longevity. My view of Alton is skewed because of his last couple of appearances where he came across as a real whacko.

Production's baby

He was nothing until Evan and Kenny got kicked off. Kenny is probably the best ever honestly.

Pound for pound it's Jordan and not close. The guy does it one handed.

When did you start watching? Jordan is indeed awesome. Can’t deny that at all. He’s never had the deck stacked against him like Kenny had the season they’re in the log cabin. That dude just won…always.

Are you having sexual intercourse with Kenny?

Never forget Kenny yelling and berating Wes on Rivals I final (which is probably top 3 toughest ever in the show) after Wes began throwing up and cramping up and crying. Kenny then carried him up a mountain for about 10 secs, but it was incredible TV.

Losing Kenny was a huge blow to the show from an entertainment standpoint.

I loved Kenny, and that final with Wes was incredible.

Per Google, Kenny made 7 finals of his 8 seasons, and won 3. He's definitely up there in terms of male contestants for sure. Just not sure top 5 (though I wouldn't argue with that either).

Though I do wish we could see how many he would've won had he not been kicked off the show.

You forgot to mention how Wes spent all season talking about how badass he was, amazing physical competitor, etc only for that to happen in the end.

Historically good tv.

Bananas (most wins) or CT (most money)
Although I think CT would have as many wins if the fat guy didn't almost die on his team in the final that one season (I think the format was "good guys vs badassses")

TBF, Wes carried him in all the eliminations that year.
And the finale was bullshite because they had like a 2 hour lead over Bananas/Tyler at the end of day 1 but the producers cut it to like 2 minutes because I guess it would be more entertaining.
