Randy Bailey was Gabon's resident curmudgeon — a wedding videographer whose proud misanthropy and deadpan disgust with his castmates made him an unlikely fan favorite. Loyal lieutenant to Corinne and the Kota power bloc, he played a flinty old-school game, but he's immortalized by one of Survivor's all-time fake-idol gags: Sugar slipped him a counterfeit hidden immunity idol, and Randy, certain he was about to make a statement, played it at Tribal — only to watch his vote get tossed and his blindside arrive anyway. He went out eighth, grumbling all the way.
Heroes vs. Villains slotted him onto the Villains tribe, where the brutal early pace of the all-stars season caught up with him fast: voted out eighteenth, a short second run for one of the show's most lovably sour characters.
