User blog comment:VicoPaz97/If TD does its own version of Survivor: Brawn vs. Brain vs. Beauty.../@comment-24152851-20141031145438

Here's my list: Brains: Brawn: Beauty:
 * Scarlett – Arguably the most intelligent contestant on the show, combining the book smarts of Cameron with the strategic manipulation of Heather and Alejandro. Regardless of whether or not she returns due to the "moral dilemna" she definitely deserves a place in the season.
 * Cameron - Cameron's IQ is unparalleled among the cast and is only rivalled by Scarlett. He's practically the embodiment of intelligence, and is one of the few characters who can claim that their intellect is high enough to make up for his physical impairment. Just look at his inventions, which are so good that he's accused of godplaying. In fact was literally labelled as the "brains" up against Lightning's "brawn", so he definitely deserves a place in the season.
 * Harold - Harold fits the "nerd" stereotype and is frequently shown harnessing his intellect, and his arsenal of “Mad Skills” have helped out the team many times before.
 * Alejandro - Alejandro is one of the most intelligent contestants on the show with an IQ of 163. Even though he fits into all three categories, I feel he deserves to be here since he embraces his intelligence. He did regularly use his beauty during TDWT, but that more or less stops in TDAS (with the exception of a one-time thing with Gwen), though he would probably change teams a lot.
 * Courtney - other than Scarlett, she is probably the other girl’s who’s characterization is largely predominated by intelligence (along with Heather). She’s frequently revealed to be well knowledgeable in areas regarding the law, and Alejandro and Heather have both stated she’s smart.
 * Noah – Intelligence is one of the few areas he excels in, as his laziness really pulls him down. He’s label was changed to “The High IQ” in TDWT for a fairly good reason. Some people say he’s never been shown doing anything intelligent, but he’s the only contestant other than Heather and Sierra to figure out Alejandro from the start.
 * Honourable mentions:
 * Beth – She just looks dorky. I’m sure she’s smarter than average, but she’s never actively shown using her intelligence.
 * Sam – He’s clearly a geek, but there’s nothing to indicate he’s intelligent.
 * B – He almost made the cut, but thought the others were just a tad more deserving and he wasn’t as important to the plot.
 * Izzy – Brainzilla would definitely fit in the team, but crazy Psycho Hose Beast Izzy, not so much. She spends so often being crazy we barely saw her do anything intelligent.
 * Dawn – I don’t know why everyone keeps trying to put her in. Psychic powers does not equal intelligence. Other than figuring out Scott she hasn’t really shown any sign of above average intelligence.
 * Lightning – Just like Cameron is made to embrace brains, Lightning is made to embrace brawn. He’s also arguably the most athletic character on the show.
 * Jasmine – She’s possibly the strongest contestant ever, with the possible exception of Mutant Dakota and Sierra who she seems to be equal with. Plus she’s just as athletic as Sky and Shawn.
 * Tyler – Tyler may be a hopeless jock, but he's still a jock and his physical ability defines his character.
 * Jo – The only character to rival uber-jock Lightning. She’s immensely athletic and is also amongst the strongest females (upper-cutting Sasquatchanakwa).
 * Sky – “Brawn” is not all about strength. Sky is literally labelled “The Athlete” so physicality is her defining characterization, even if she isn’t physically strong.
 * Brick – He might not be very lucky, but he actively trains day in and day out. He has made himself very fit and his athleticism is his strong suit.
 * Honourable mentions:
 * Eva – I thought of putting her in as she is quite strong, but she leaves little impact as a character. There are more deserving ones.
 * Rodney – He may come off as being strong, but we barely have an instance where he’s shown using his brawn. He spent the entire time falling in love with girls.
 * Duncan – I was thinking of putting him in, but he isn’t known for his physical ability that much.
 * Shawn – He may be as athletic as Sky and Jasmine, but his character is predominated by the zombie gimmick. But he rarely embraces his physical ability like the girls do, and his physicality only emerges when something zombie related occurs.
 * Lindsay – She is supposed to be the prettiest character on the show, which is stated in-universe, but more importantly she embraces her beauty and uses it to get ahead in the contestant, “Admiral Lindsay, her hotness” anyone? She knows that beauty is the only thing she has, and takes full advantage of it, I think she requested Chris give her the better cabin because she was the cutest.
 * Dakota – She regularly poses for the paparazzi, I think that’s all that needs to be said.
 * Sugar – While she may not look beautiful, she fits the “beauty stereotype” perfectly. Her pageant upbringing, complete lack of mental power or fitness, and how she thinks she’s beautiful make her fit the bill.
 * Heather – Wasn’t too sure about putting her here. While she’s quite smart, she’s regularly established as being beautiful by others and is not above using it to get her way (stealing the map from Duncan), and unlike Alejandro her beauty doesn’t seem to fade away inbetween seasons, although she might be a team changer as well.
 * Justin – Do I really need to explain him? Beauty is literally the only thing he has, and he sure has a helluva lot of it. It’s done to the extent where it’s a superpower and he can use it to control girls, animals, and Owen.
 * Amy - Well Amy does embrace the beauty thing "I am the beauty and the brains, you are the do-er of stuff that stinks!", Samey is in every way as beautiful as Amy on the outside, and even more beautiful on the inside, but she’s insecure about her own appearance. Sorry Samey, I still love you.
 * Honourable mentions:
 * Samey – I already explained above.
 * Topher – He might look hot, but other than becoming distressed over his hair he’s never shown using his appearance to get his way.
 * Geoff – Once again, he’s never shown using his appearance. In fact it’s barely established in universe whether or not he’s hot.
 * Anne Maria – Thought of putting her in for similar reasons to Sugar, but Sugar’s pageantry seemed to trump her.
 * Katie – She looks cute, but so do 80% of the girls on the show. To date there hasn’t been a single person attracted to her or suggested she’s beautiful in anyway.
