Which Character do you hate most?


Im sorry i really have to say this.

Im currently watching Series 3 and i think that Ned is the most off putting character i have ever seen, every time he is on screen i just want to hit him and hurt him.

I dont see how Alice ends up falling for him (mnot got to that part of the series yet) but does he have a personalltiy change or something?

Argh i hate that man!!!!!

I don't really hate any of the characters really, I did find a couple of them annoying like Danni. She always whined when Bray didn't have the time to listen to her.

I didn't like Salene in the early seasons because she was always down on herself. I like the fact that she grew some balls on the 4th season, if anything this has to be my favorite character development from the tribe.

I don't mind Gel or Lottie but I didn't see a reason why they were on that show. I guess they finally needed another child actor after Mouse lives with the ecos but Gel?

..and I CAN'T understand the hate for Siva!

I get it up, I get it up in the dark, I make her feel I'm not a holy man

I only watched sason 1 and 3 but so far I don't hate a character... well yes Ned, Andy and Tally were annoying, I agree :)

But I have no problem with all the other characters people normally dislike: Trudy is a drama queen, Zandra is a fashion doll etc thats life haha.

I never liked Salene. She is so negative. Only Ryan balanced her off, they are one of my favorite couples :)

God bless atheism.

I hated most of the newer characters like Ned, Andy, Tally, Mouse, Sammy. I don't hate Salene, she was just annoying as hell, well maybe a little^^

KYRUMPTION!!!

I've only seen season one... seems like a bunch of characters took turns being annoying. :P Although most had their good/brave/useful moments I hated:

Salene for being whiny and almost always having this "Waaaahh! Woe is me!" expression on her face. For bragging about how she'd probably marry Bray after one freakin' kiss with him. For stuffing her face and wasting food when it was so scarce (I know I should feel sorry for her being bulimic but I just couldn't, under the circumstances.) For leaving Trudy to die because she wanted Bray all to herself (Trudy shouldn't have forgiven her so easily, or assumed nicer motives like, oh, Salene was only respecting Trudy's feelings/suicidal wishes! Yeah, right. Salene wanted Trudy out of the way, that's all.) I don't care that Salene claimed to feel guilty for some of these things... she didn't do enough to make up for her actions and I can't help hating her. Salene was often bitchy, ungrateful, and somehow acted entitled at the same time, towards those who tried to help her (like Trudy and Ryan). Every time she did something like steal food, or steal Zandra's family heirloom necklace before her wedding (and I don't even care about Zandra, really) I wanted her to be caught by the others soooo bad. :P And thrown out of the Tribe. So of course, Salene's the one who (I read) lasts through all 5 seasons! Sigh.

To a much lesser degree, I hated Cloe whenever she'd get cutesy talking to Bluebell...It bugged me that she snuck precious water to the cow and hid it from the others. Whenever she'd whine about how an animal was her friieeeend, and nobody's allowed to eat it no matter how starving they may be. I'm sorry, but she and Patsy (and later, Salene) needed a smacking for always making barnyard animals like cows, chickens and pigs their pets. Starving people are more important! Keep some alive to provide eggs or milk. Otherwise... EAT 'EM! They're not pets. These aren't luxurious times when you can afford to make such animals PETS! Geez! Yes, I laughed when Lex ate their chicken in front of them. :P (Although Lex definitely should've shared the food with everyone.)

I hated Tai-San SO MUCH for her insufferable, self-righteous, all-knowing attitude. For all her talk about people needing to follow their hearts and find their true path, blah blah, she was very intolerant of those who had different views and ways of thinking than *her*! She kept pushing her beliefs on everyone else and acting like hers was the One True Path. So typical of religious people. It looked like she was learning some tact by the end of the season though. Man, I really hated her when she wouldn't deign to do practical chores like help Trudy clean the kitchen or cook. Oh, I'm on the *spiritual* plane. I'll just "help" the little kids by stunting their growth and teaching them they can fast, like me, and live on meditation alone. I laughed when they rejected her "you don't need food!" lessons. Oh, how about when she rubbed it in to Amber that her dancing skills were useful after all? Hey, look, I appreciate the idea that you need a spiritual side of life too, and art and dance and beauty and all that. But, first things first. Practical SURVIVAL. Once that's taken care of, *then* there's time for those other luxuries that make life more enjoyable. I also hated Tai-San for hypocrisy like supposedly sleeping with Lex to help his aura and for the good of the tribe. Like his happy aura is more important than Zandra's aura? I wanted Tai-San to just admit she slept with him 'cause *she* wanted to. 'Cause *she* would also get something out of it by prioritizing Lex's happiness over Zandra's. Her motives were not as pure and selfless as she claimed. Oh! How could I forget! I hated Tai-San for being freakin' USELESS in the Mall Rats fight defending their home against Tribe Circus. I mean, before she got trapped in that net, she just stands there and stares like an idiot. Finally she leaps on Top Hat's back, whoopee. Why didn't she kick him or knock him unconscious instead? Took her long enough to even get in the fight, and then she was out of it right away. (I'm disappointed that the writers made all the girls pretty useless during that fight, actually.) We saw Tai-San exercising and showing off her moves fighting Lex, etc. But when it really counts, she hangs back? Arrgh.

I hated all the Mall Rats for making it harder for Amber to leave with Sascha. They should've been happy for her (or put on a happy face anyway) and wishing her luck, the selfish ingrates. When she's around, they whine about her "bossing" them. When she's gone, of course, they whine that she's not there to take care of them. Sascha was right. She had a right to her own life and happiness. And the rest of them should've learned to pitch in more and take care of themselves. I hated them even MORE when Amber sacrificed her personal wishes/love for duty and they had ZERO sympathy for her loss and expected her to be cheerful and forget Sasha right away! No appreciation or realization that Amber owes them NOTHING. They should've thrown *her* a welcome-home/thanks-for-staying-with-us party, instead of one for stupid Patsy. :P

ETA: I hate Ebony for messing with Amber, my fav. But I could accept her as an antagonist who clashes with Amber in a cynic vs. idealist way, regarding how they lead & treat their respective tribes. That would be more interesting to explore than the way their conflict degenerated into a lame love triangle, with Ebony being yet *another* in a long line of girls going after Bray. It was refreshing when she seemed uninterested in Bray (romantically) at first.

reply

I despised Salene. Hated Dee just as much and really did not like Tai San. I didn't hate Bray but he bored me to tears. Siva's acting was pretty insufferable but I still liked her anyway. I forgot to add Amber's hair. Amber was great her hair was not.

“How do you propose you get my death eaters into your little daycare center?”

reply

Now that I look back on it, I actually sort of hate Lex. He was so sleazy.

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.

I've just finished season 3 and must say that I don't really hate most characters. I don't care for Andy and Tally for example, but they're just not important enough to really dislike them. I'll say Salene and Alice really made me wish they'd shut the f up sometimes.

The only characters I really don't like - and I'm surprised I'm as good as the first one to say - is Ebony. God, she's just such a snake and I wish I could slap her in the face 90% of the time. She's a great villain though, guess you're supposed to hate them. I just can't see how the Mallrats are daft enough to forgive all her horrible actions again and again.

reply

I'd blame Bray and Amber's leadership. To an extent, they did have some influence over the mallrats and the mallrats usually went with their decisions anyway. Even though Ebony was such a horrible *beep* (and I say this even though she's one of my favorite characters) she should have been treated a lot more horribly than she was in the series.

Danni. Hands down.

Maturity. The very staple of the IMDb message boards.
