100 Most Entertaining Survivors #75 James "Rocky" Reid

James "Rocky" Reid got 12th in Survivor Fiji.






For those of you who don't remember, this is James (left).

Rocky was known for his boisterous attitude towards the game. He is a Bostonian, and a true "manly man."

There are two moments that really get me about Rocky. The first one is during episode 7, when Edgardo sits next to Rocky. Rocky doesn't like this and responds "Scoot over a little man, unless you wanna make out or something."

It's great moments like these that make Survivor so amazing. But Rocky isn't done. In episode 4, he gives one of the greatest quotes to ever be heard on season 14.

After losing a reward challenge, Rocky is visibly angry. He is tired of losing, and he wants to just be done with his tribe. So he decides to go on a rant. He proclaims "If we're gonna lose like this, why don't we just call up Jeff, on the Jeff phone, and tell him, 'Hey, we're ready to go to tribal council'" Call up Jeff on the Jeff phone. Now, as someone named Jeff, I wanted to know why I didn't get a Jeff phone. But that is beside the point. Rocky's quote was great, but especially when it was followed up with a bit of cross dressing.



That's right. After going on his rant, Rocky decided to cheer up his tribe with a little bikini that belonged to (I think) Michelle. Rocky really knows how to make good TV, it's a wonder he hasn't been back.


These are really the two moments that I notice about Rocky. He was incredibly funny throughout the season. His attitude, while at times hostile (especially towards Anthony), was the reason why the first seven episodes of Fiji was so great. Every time Rocky was on the television screen, you knew it.
