1. Samantha's Dad. Hands down, #1, didn't even have to think about it. Fills all the criteria above 100%.  First of all, the guy's acting made Andrew Shue look like Sir Anthony Hopkins. He looked like a discount Michael Madsen. He mumbled every one of his lines except for when he had to say to Sam, "You know I love you, girl" which he did at least 6 times an episode. His accent kept slipping in and out from Boston to Southern to I-don't-know-what. To this day, whenever my husband wants to torture me, he starts talking like Jim Reilly and starting his sentences with "Girl..."-- a situation which usually winds up with me throwing something at him. (In fact, I better not let him read this or he'll start in again) Also, the idiotic gorilla ended up hitting Sydney with his runaway car and killing her on her wedding day, though I blame Samantha equally for this. Grrrr.

2. Brittany Maddox. OK, I know they wanted someone who was nice to look at, but even guys who were hot for Kathy Ireland probably had to turn the sound down to get away from her horrible voice, which makes Jennifer Tilly's sound soothing in comparison. Her acting stunk, I don't think she changed her facial expression or tone of voice once, and she wasn't fantastic enough looking to get away with this. I was really dissapointed that she didn't end up accidentally blowing herself up along with The Pretty Lady.

3. This is one I might get some disagreement on, but Carter Gallivan (pretty scary how I can forget things like my computer password, but have no problem remembering minor trivia from MP with no problem at all) played by Chad Lowe. OK, Chad Lowe tried, I'll give him that. I don't know what Sydney saw in him, other than the fact he was stinking rich. His hairstyle was so unflattering I found myself distracted by it. He was whiny, let his assistant push him around, and broke Sydney's heart. I was very dissapointed when I asked Leighton in an E!Online Chat who she felt Sydney's ultimate soulmate was, and she said Carter! Laura, how could you?

4. I never cared much for Bobby Parezi. His storyline just kind of dragged on and on, and I certainly didn't understand why Amanda in a flashback told him, "I could never love anyone else." OK, he wasn't ugly, but he just had no charisma, and I didn't feel the slightest pang of regret when he was sent rocketing through the window to his death (I did feel sad for the stunt actor that was killed filming the fall, however). A better actor might have been able to do a little bit more with the character.

5. Ryan and Kyle's dad, Mr. Stick-up-His-Butt McBride. I had enough of this guy after about 10 minutes. His belligerence just grated on my nerves, and so did his abrupt mood swings. Plus, he made the whole god-awful Kyle supposedly being sterile storyline drag on even longer than it did. Hmmm, let's see what's more irritating than a room with 2 McBrides in it? 3 McBrides, each more annoying than the next!

6. Amber, Michael's short term stripper girlfriend. Beautiful, but a terrible actress, and not that hot of a dancer either. The scene where she was supposed to be drunk at a stuffy party was painful to watch. Her storyline had no point, other than to end up getting Michael screwed over (well, maybe that was the point) and was completely predictable and boring. Let's see, she's said to several people who don't like Michael that she gets "kinda wild when she drinks." I wonder what could possibly happen next?

7. Michael DeBarres as The Cryptkeeper--oops, I mean Craig's dad. Talk about being painful to watch. What a relief when he keeled over!

8. Connie, Samantha's friend who was in love with her. Not only was the storyline stupid (and they could have had a lot more fun with it--say if it turned out that Samantha had got really drunk one night in college and had a one-night stand with her, but decided she didn't want to try it again) but I wasn't convinced at all that she was attracted to Samantha--didn't even look at her longingly. She seemed more attracted to Billy when she was coming on to him to cause trouble. Just boring.

9. I never cared much for Jess. His character was, of course, an evil, abusive b*stard, but Dan Cortese's acting was less-than-stellar. That thing on his chin didn't help, either. The way he constantly referred to Jake as "baby brother" in a monotone was probably his most annoying trait, as in "You don't trust me, do you, baby brother?" Jo picked this guy over Jake? Well, with that dazzling personality and his resemblance to a goat, I can certainly see why! I cheered when Jake landed on him after they plunged off the construction site.

10. Alicia was also boring, except for when she killed Bobby. Just didn't seem to be having very much fun  being on the show or with her part, and looked like she'd rather be somewhere else. She screwed up Peter's relationship with Amanda, and of course he ended up in jail because of her. Also, the actress who played her was so skinny that it was distracting--I kept expecting her sharp shoulderblade or elbow to put Peter's eye out.

Runners up? Pretty much every character from the 6th season.
