I will admit - this one is a little high, and by a little high, I mean - you know, probably a lot of high. But this ranking, though it won't have much to say, is a lot to do with the potential, the story, and the fall.
Though Alex Bayless didn't make it past the first tribal council of the first three tribe stage, he was undoubtedly one of the strongest players seen in this game. Honestly, it was a whole lot of luck that befell the iSF alliance that Alex was taken out in a pure luck situation because he by no means is a player that will sit on his ass and let situations occur around him. He is smart, thoughtful, and deadly. After visiting Rachel and Drew in Chicago, we had a discussion surrounding Alex Bayless and how he was in the game (Drew, of course, hadn't played with him, but had a whole lot to say - because, Drew) but Rachel Stearns herself said had there come a situation where she met back with Alex in the game, there was no doubt that she probably would have turned on Drew to work with him for the longer term.
You heard it here first folks, from Rachel herself.
We flashback, of course, to Rutilus. I've already covered the dynamics there a few times over, everyone's tight blah blah - but I can now say out of the generic posting habit that Alex was honestly a key player in the attitude surrounding the Proboards tribe that I had No Idea who would leave when it came to the first tribal council. Everyone was aligned with everyone, but it seemed like it was an Alex Did It First, kind of attitude. Keith and Alex knew each other pre-game, and Tom knew of Alex, and vice-versa, were they friends? I don't remember. Alex and Penny hit it off something crazy, as then by proxy Kody. Alex and Xander made the cute little duo of AleXander - so, after all this time, if I'm being honest, I think because of the pulse that Alex had control on Rutilus, Young Matthew himself, player of the season, would have been the first out of the game.
And you can probably ask Matt, I'm sure he's said to a few people he thought he'd be first out, and it's really a mentality carried over by the control the Alex had in those early stages.
His intensive social game really did carry over onto Tasso. Which was really interesting. With all that was going on with iSF, Tasso really was a hidden gem of gameplay. Of course, there will always be bigger and better characters, and to say Tasso wasn't the most boring tribe would be a complete lie but a lot of the inner workings of plans surrounded both Alex and Rachel. Tasso consisted of three previous Bauxite, three previous Rutilus, and three mixed. Jack was an "easy" first boot to them, he didn't really connect with the social aspect of the tribe, but it ultimately came down to a three on three blockade. Alex maneuvered his way through Jamie and Gabe to get out Nikki, giving Rutilus a clear advantage. However, when Gabe turned that around the next round when Tasso won immunity by sending Kody away, Jamie LaFrance, Gabe's number one ally, was swiftly out the next round.
This is to say that a key social game, though not always flashy, is amazing. And that also is pretty inaccurate to say since Alex was the farthest thing from quiet, he was loud, boisterous, and often times really annoying to host. It's no secret that Sierra Leone was the test subject to a lot of rules, implications, and punishments that we hadn't laid groundwork for in pre-planning, and no one was there faster to remind us of any subpar planning than Alex himself. In fact, most rules and clear cut analysis can probably be thanked to him as I had to go out of my way with every amendment to make sure I wouldn't get in a damn argument with a player.
There was a lot of potential for Alex. I think, that's the reason he's this high. I take him as a martyr to the anti-iSF rebellion. Keith and Jamie E are often seen as the strong advocates for this cause, but Alex was really the First Great Downfall of the big war that really started in the three tribe round phase. Keith and Alex were close and instantly upon reconnecting shared a mutual hatred and need to take out the bigger alliance, sensing the obvious downfall that would follow if they didn't. The groundwork to get Jon to flip obviously didn't lie in Keith's hands since Keith can be as smooth as tree bark. Honestly going down to a purple rock draw, losing like that sucks. It's AWESOME to watch, it was AMAZING to host, but losing like that, sucks. It's unfortunate, but Alex is The Player That Could Have Been, and really was, which is why he's this high. I can't talk better about his strategic and social game, but he ultimately fell too early.  - Samm

Alex was the first person to ever get rocked out of Endure and held that title alone til season 7. He came into season 8 and didn’t real give all that much. Etu was a really weird tribe make up to begin with so I’m not really positive there was anyone that he would have really made friends with, but he also didn’t really actively give time. He did help Etu get through three episodes of challenges which is how he lasted to that, but it was a pretty simple tribal council. Chris threw his vote to look for an idol clue, Erica said it was her first rodeo, great meme that has nothing to do with Alex. - Samm
