No because the way this list is so so wrong in so many ways.
Like I get that this website probably isn’t all that serious, but I need to break this down because I just-
Okay.
I have a couple issues with this list:
The main one being the way in which they have ranked the Nublar 6, while the other is the actual arguments for how they seemingly decided to rank these kids.
First, besides for Zach, all of the campers are at the bottom of the list. I’m not going to get into where they are all placed in the ranking, but it is clear that whoever made this list didn’t actually pay attention to how the kids were written and the actual depth that these characters have. Collectively, it seems like their arguments for the N6 is that they’re all annoying in their own ways, and that’s that.
I get that not all Jurassic fans may be interested in CC, especially since it’s garnered for a slightly younger audience (even though everyone can enjoy it and that doesn’t mean it’s dumbed down or anything!), but if someone goes to the trouble to actually rank all of the kids in the Jurassic franchise, they have to actually understand each of their arcs, personalities, quirks, vulnerabilities, motives, etc. In the case of the N6, they really only list the “bad” or “annoying” things about them, instead of actually taking a step back and looking at these characters as a whole. (And yes, I do understand that the N6 have their moments as well, like Darius in S5.)
For example, with Kenji they describe him as being “obnoxious” and an “arrogant trust-fund brat”, while also stating that he has a character arc. This reads as if they’ve only watched the first season of the show. (And this article was released AFTER Dominion and season 5 came out, so there’s no excuse for not having seen the other seasons.) And these are the same people saying that they love when Kelly drop-kicks a velociraptor out of a window! (Though I’m not saying you can’t like this scene, is was a pretty goofy moment.)
In Kenji’s case, he’s so much more complex than that, and he goes through a MAJOR arc throughout the show, even flip-flopping a few times.
I could go on about all of the other issues I have with their statements on the N6 (like how Sammy is “poorly written” or that Ben is suddenly super pretentious after having spent some time alone in the jungle or how Yaz is one of the least interesting characters, when I’d argue that she’s actually one of the MOST interesting), but I digress.
The other issue is the actual comparisons that they’ve made for these kids. With the N6, they simply state their “annoying traits” or flaws, so to speak, while with the other kids they either:
A: only state their good or bad qualities or
B: list a few facts about what they did in their respective films
Take Maisie as an example (who I’d argue is one of the least interesting characters of the franchise despite her unique backstory and great portrayal from Isabella Sermon):
Their only real argument for her is that she is a clone. That’s it. They go on to say that’s she been in two movies and has played two different characters, unlike the other kids, but there’s nothing actually about her as a character and who she is.
I would also mention that the novel versions of Lex, Tim and Kelly are on this list (as well as Arby Benton from The Lost World), but it’s been a hot minute since I’ve read Jurassic Park and I never really got into The Lost World, so I can’t offer my two cents on those kids.
I know this isn’t super serious or whatever, but I just needed to rant because when I read this list, I was mad that our beloved N6 weren’t getting the love that they deserve.
(Ps if you actually read this entire thing, thank you! I know it’s just a silly goofy ranking list, but I enjoy talking about this kind of stuff!)
Here are some Hear You, Seek You Spoilers after having seen Scream 6. So yeah spoilers for the movie as well.
In Hear You, Seek You Jamie’s storyline will be the main focus instead of Scarlett. Scarlett and Randy will be back in Santa Monica. I’m still coming up with a reason as to why they get to New York late or not at all...
The events of Scream 5 obviously changed Jamie. She’s still grieving Dewey and Liv’s deaths. She’s in therapy, but refuses to talk to anyone else about what she went through. She’s not like Tara where she pretends it didn’t happen but she’s more closed off about it.
Jamie especially doesn’t talk to Wes about it because Wes lost his mother and Jamie thinks what she went through doesn’t compare to his own loss. It definitely puts a strain in their relationship.
Because of the book Gale wrote, after she promised she wasn’t going to, Jamie is no longer speaking to her. Neither are Scarlett and Randy.
Jamie gets a new roommate, but despite all of her attempts at a friendship Jamie pushes her away. She reminds her too much of Liv.
Jamie’s dresses up as a witch for the Halloween party at the beginning of the movie. It’s a similar costume to Marnie Pipers’s from Halloweentown.
Jamie and Wes are still in a relationship, and even though Jamie is more closed off than before they make it work somehow...to the annoyance of certain individual.
Jamie is who Ethan becomes obsessed with. Similar to the way Billy obsessed over Scarlett....o.O Seriously the similarities give me the chills.
In the absence of Scarlett and Randy, Kirby becomes like a protective older sister to Jamie, and also to Mindy and Chad.
Because of this the tension between Gale and Kirby is even worse because Gale sees it as Kirby thinking she’s better at protecting Jamie than she is.

How I think the Jurassic girls would behave when sick. Enjoy!
1: Claire Dearing
Tries hard to be independent but usually fails. Has a sensitive stomach so she usually throws up even if it's just a cold. Becomes very cuddly and clingy and even a little emotional. Has embarrassed herself at work more times than she'd like to admit because she started crying over something silly or stuck it out until she puked without warning.
2: Karen Mitchell
Drama queen 2.0. She didn't used to be this way but after her pregnancies with Zach and Gray she's such a baby when she's sick. Spends 60% of her sick days crying and the other 40% puking because she has a sensitive stomach like her sister. Runs in the family, apparently.
3: Zara Young
Is that one person who never gets sick, but when she does she's an absolute dragon. I pity the person who tries to talk to her or make her do anything, even if it's for her own good. Extremely stubborn and often refuses to even accept that she's sick until she's half dead.
4: Vivian Krill
Hates being sick with a fiery passion. Often gets annoyed with her own self for catching anything. But once she finally comes to terms with it, all she wants is sleep and back rubs. Hot water bottles are great too. Unlike most people, Vivian actually gets more of an appetite when she's sick, even if her stomach is upset. This comes back to bite her alot, obviously.
5: Zia Rodriguez
They do say doctors make the worst patients, don't they? Someone kinda has to take care of her because if they don't she'll just ignore her illness until she crashes. She works with sick, cranky dinosaurs all day for Pete's sake! She doesn't need medicine! But actually yeah she really does and she's super dramatic about taking it. She's prone to gagging on pills and bad-tasting medicines are likely to make her vomit. It's a childhood thing, actually. Her dad always pressured her something terrible when she had to take medicine so how she got nervous.
6: Kayla Watts
Kayla's biggest comfort when she feels under the weather is to go flying in her beloved airplane. It gives her much needed alone time, which helps her relax, which, in turn, helps her rest. She isn't an emotional person, so she doesn't usually get very whiny, sometimes she does get a little grumpy, though. Her biggest struggle is keeping hydrated because when she's sick, drinking alot makes her bloated.
7: Soyona Santos
It's hard to tell the difference between drunk Soyona and sick Soyona. Even a low-grade fever makes her loopy. If she had a dollar for how many stupid things she's said and done with a fever. All of this isn't helped by the fact that her go-to medicine is Nyquil. For Soyona, it may as well be hard liquor. She doesn't usually throw up when she's sick because she's too busy being zonked out on the couch, her bed, the floor, you name it.
8: Maisie Lockwood
Maisie is a typical sick kid. Whiny and emotional and clings relentlessly to Claire and Owen, usually resulting in them getting sick too. Her usual teenage attitude goes away when she's feeling sick, and she becomes an innocent, sweet little girl again. A guilty pleasure of her parents.
9: Sarah Harding
Sarah isn't happy unless she's so close to Ian you couldn't fit a tissue between them. She tends to have severe nightmares when she has a fever, so she becomes clingy and afraid to sleep unless in Ian's arms. Her stomach can take a punch, but if she needs antibiotics, bring on the bucket. Antibiotics wreak havoc on her stomach no matter what she takes them for, leaving Ian to spend his day or night (or both) holding her hair and patting her back.
10: Amanda Kirby
Amanda is notorious for being a bit extra. She wasn't paid much attention to as a child so she feels the need to be dramatic to get attention from Paul. Unless of course Eric is sick too, then the protective mama bear forgets all about herself to care for him and often has to be reminded that she's still sick and needs rest.
11: Ellie Sattler
Ellie has a bit of a weak immune system so she gets sick often, but doesn't like to admit it. But it's obvious whether she admits it or not; she's emotional and whiny, her cheeks become super flushed, and she sneezes constantly. Not to mention she gets super cold, fever or not, and always wants to bundle up, which is weird for her, because she's usually always hot.
The Snake's goal is to influence the other houseguests into evicting one another without bringing attention to himself or herself. A Snake will typically select the passive or selective competitive strategy. Fans sometimes refer to this strategy as being a rat, and is not a very popular strategy among the fans. Nicole Franzel-Arroyo* and Da’vonne Rogers worked together twice (BB18&BB22) with this strategy.
Like, we see so many different versions of him. We’re introduced to this awkward, neurotic, definitely not Mitchell, vampire in season 4. Oh cool, he has these friends he’s been with for years, that’s great!
Hal literally kept Leo chained up with the sole purpose to watch him kill people (and make money, as he mentions betting on the fight). This was actually in a prequel clip, not in the show - if you saw the clip, Hal and Leo’s relationship dynamic completely changes when we see them on screen together for the first time.
Throughout the show, Hal implores people to be his keeper, to watch him and make sure he doesn’t commit anymore sins. First Leo. In some ways, this is extremely cowardly - Hal puts the responsibility on others. If his inhibitions drop and he’s placed in just the right situation, he does awful things and can say “oh they didn’t watch me close enough”. I’m surprised Leo kept his promise - if I got free, the guy who initially kidnapped me would be getting these hands.
I really really like Hal and Annie’s dynamic. She is so opposite of him, and from the very beginning you see his discomfort. Then, when Kirby shows up, we get a scene where Hal wants to confess his sins. Part of it is because he would rather she hear it from him, but another part is something Hal does frequently - burden others with keeping him clean.
Who is Hal though? There are 3 parts of Hal. Of course there’s the awful part, that killed Cutler’s wife and who is 100% capable of becoming a genocidal dictator. Then there’s the part we see most of the time. Seemingly harmless vampire with obsessive compulsive tendencies, endearing in some way and obviously trying his best to stay out of trouble. But there’s this other part, that we only see a few times. It’s when the two overlap. There’s some glimpse of it with his prequel - he’s a “slavemaster” but he’s hesitant and ashamed, and wants to be someone else. We also know that this is the in between, as he references the cycles of bad and good Hal.
I think, living for over 500 years, Hal has had to develop a way to cope with everything he has done. There are old ones like Mr Snow who seem chill and totally fine with being menaces to society. But we SEE Hal is capable of acting without malice, of choosing to do things to keep others safe.
I propose then, that Hal, upon becoming a vampire and murdering people left and right, had at one point realized his psyche could not manage and be okay with it all. So, what better way to cope then to organize who you are. Hal is neurotic. He creates a line - bad Hal and kind Hal. It becomes black and white for him - he either goes full villain, or he is safe. He treats the bad part as another being, trying to separate his sins from who he is as a person. I suppose we can also see it as vampire Hal and Vampire Hal.
I struggle at times when trying to figure out who Hal is for real. Is this the true him, proper, neurotic, judgemental. How do these traits present in Vampire Hal. He dresses classy, he manipulates, and he harms. The judgement in this case leads to murder. Try to imagine Hal, the one awkwardly holding Eve, and when he turns Cutler. How can one man behave so contrastingly? The blood eases the anxiety and the pressure. Hal can let go, fall into habits. Without blood, he has to always be mindful.
So, other than being a story telling device; I see the Jekyll and Hyde aspect of him being a coping mechanism. He either fights the urges and the habits, vampire Hal who keeps a schedule, or, he goes full Vampire.
