9. Jackie

Jackie had flaws like all the other characters in the show, but I don't think she deserved to die or get cheated on. In my opinion, what made her an unlikeable character was that she was self-centered and didn't want to contribute by doing chores like everyone else in the wilderness. Well, she was also in the wrong for having sex with Travis knowing that he and Natalie had something going on.

I know some people will come for me and say that she was a horrible friend to Shauna too. While this is true, we can't put all of the blame on Jackie because Shauna let her run all over her. Shauna could've spoken up or ended their friendship. But no, she decided to take it to the next level and sleep with her best friend's boyfriend. Honestly, both were in the wrong and had a toxic friendship that should've ended a long time ago.

8. Taissa

The only thing I can think of that makes Taissa an unlikeable character is that she isn't a good wife or mother. She neglected her duties as a wife and mother and put all her focus on winning the senate election. Any time she harmed Simone or Sammy, it wasn't really her. It was her dark side. So you can't really blame her for that.

However, she was definitely wrong for cheating on her wife. There's a scene where she passionately makes out with Van while a comatose Simone lies in a bed at the hospital. She was also in the wrong for hiring a journalist to investigate her old teammates. She was determined to win the senate election and didn't want anything hindering her chances. But even though she didn't do anything to harm them, she was still wrong for doing that.

When it comes to teen Taissa, I don't really have much to say because she's one of the survivors who wasn't mean to others and actually tried to come up with ways to get out of the wilderness. The only time I can recall teen Taissa being mean was before the plane crash when she devised a plan to freeze one of her teammates out during soccer practice. Her plan resulted in her teammate breaking her leg.

7. Jeff

While I do find the Jeff character hilarious, the main reason for me not liking him is because he cheated on Jackie. Jackie might’ve not been the best friend or girlfriend, but that still doesn't justify Jeff cheating on her. Then, he had the audacity to cheat on her with her best friend. It doesn't get any grimier than that. Also, I didn't like how he blackmailed the Yellowjackets to keep his own family financially stable. What did Taissa, Natalie, and Misty do to him to deserve such treatment? However, I can respect his ride-or-die mentality when it comes to Shauna.
