While Mal was a pretty shoddy antagonist based on him having next to zero strategy and requiring everyone to be dumbed down for him to advance, I don't like to judge antagonists based on elimination counts. Mal chose to play the game differently, trying to murder others rather than eliminating them. He's like Scott who also diverged from prev. antagonist by throwing challenges. Mal simply has a different approach (a really stupid, ineffective approach), but one that's distinct from the others nonetheless.
