Since you like analysis, I decided to review Art's performance here.

He is usually bad, decent or average at challenges: Well, as I said, pretty average, sometimes even bad. And when he does good (Dodgebrawl, Phobia Factor, Paintball Deer Hunter), something happens that prevents him from success.
 * Not So Happy Campers - Part 2 - He doesn't jump, causing a tie and no team to get the reward. He doesn't build a hot tub, but instead passes a hammer of a bucket of water only. I'd say he's lucky Killer Bass lost here.
 * The Big Sleep - He manages to last the first night, but falls asleep quickly during the second day. It's pretty good ranking and he didn't annoy anyone, so he'd be safe no matter what.
 * Dodgebrawl - He is actually pretty good for a change. He competes in every round and lasts long in each of them. He manages to be the last Gopher standing in the final round, which actually bites him in the butt when he loses the game for the Gophers to Harold. He's lucky Noah was lazy or he could be easily blamed for his team's loss, which is why he was in bottom two of his team's first elimination ceremony.
 * Not Quite Famous - He didn't perform or even audition, but it was his strategy. However, challenge wise it means he did nothing. But at least it meant he wasn't target for elimination.
 * The Sucky Outdoors - Pretty average. He couldn't pitch up a tent or climb up a tree, but at least he caught two fishes with Owen.
 * Phobia Factor - Although he was the only one smart enough to lie about his fear and had good strategy for his challenge, Chris didn't count his point in the end when he found out Art was lying due to his confessional (not so smart move, Art, you didn't have to confess about it).
 * Up the Creek - He isn't strong enough to paddle or carry his canoe for too long. Pretty bad, but the only one annoyed here could be Owen (and he wasn't).
 * Paintball Deer Hunter - Art was smart enough to know he needs to hide in the challenge, but he still spent too much time near Heather and once they've been found due to Beth and Leshawna bickering with Heather, he's been shot.

Well, he is lucky the target was so far always on someone else or that his team won. Otherwise he could already be gone, even in the first (competing) episode. I wonder how long he's going to go under the radar (well, I don't actually because I have his elimination planned :P ).
