Smartest:

• Clementine - One of the few people still alive, so got to be included.
• Chuck - A wise old man who appeared out of nowhere.
• Molly - A natural survivor.
• Carver - A psychopath, but nevertheless a smart one.
• Pete - The only member of the cabin group with any common sense.

Dumbest:

• Jane - I'm going to abandon a baby to show you how reckless someone else is. Logic.
• Duck - About as dumb as a bag of hammers.
• Ben - Useless and just about got Clem killed - unforgivable.
• Carlos - How on earth did this man qualify as a doctor? He can't even switch off a wind turbine.
• Reggie - He was lucky to even have one arm.

Travis was the dumbest motherfucker in this series and nothing will change my opinion on that

DoubleJump

Smart

1. Clementine - Although young, Clementine is strong on all fronts and continues to be more capable than any adult. I swear if it wasn't for other people/dog she would be living happy and healthy (excluding Christa).

2. Christa - Managed to stay alive with a small girl for over 2 years in the ZA thanks to her cunning. Fate dealt a cruel hand to her, but gave Clementine a chance.

3. Molly - Parkour expert and wise enough to stay alone as a life of a scavenger.

Dumb

1. Troy - Would it kill this guy to not be an ass? Terrible driver too.

2. Nick - Reckless with a side of being a drunk idiot. RIP dude.

3. Ben - Fucking up is one of the main reasons why he's in this story.

But his dad was special forces, he knew what he was doing.

Smart

• Lee
• Christa
• Lilly when she's sane
• Molly
• Carver when he's sane
• The Stranger. I hate this bitch, but give him his props... he successfully got Lee killed.
• Andy St John for his acting skills. I always got the creepy vibe from Danny, but I genuinely thought Andy was a good guy for most of Starved for help.

Dumb

• Ben. Stupid motherfucker
• Kenny. Stupid, reckless motherfucker.
• Jane. Any respect I might've had for her so called survival skills evaporated with the hide AJ plan. Any plan that involves an 11 year old having to save you from a fight that you instigated is just...... -sigh- well, I don't think she's smart.
• Clementine. Just two instances though. The unconditional hatred that people have for T.V. Carl because of his inability to "stay in the house" and getting Dale killed always amuses me. Because Clementine does the exact same shit in Ep. 1:4, and Lee fucking dies because of it. So they're about neck and neck in that category. Then there was the whole leave the gun on the sink where anyone can come in pick it up scenario.... where someone does indeed come in and pick it up and kills Omid with it..... other than that, she's pretty smart, just a little naïve.
• Luke. He tried to carry himself like some kind of intelligent alpha male, but a lot his plans were half baked he never got anything done. First thing that comes to mind is the bridge. Scout out the bridge to make sure its clear and sturdy enough for crossing? Smart. Taking the 11 year old girl as your wingman when you have 3 full grown men to choose from? Even when she determinately tells you she doesn't want to go? Not smart. Sneaking into the hardware store and monitoring the guards so you can help your friends sneak out? Smart. Fucking up your own plan because you took it upon yourself to try and steal some fritos instead of asking one of your friends to sneak you some food along with the walkie you needed? Come on son. Volunteering to take watch, only to flake out and bang Jane instead? And leaving his cover during the Russian gun fight, which ultimately leads to him getting an injury that later gets him killed. I think I might've face palmed for Luke even more than I did for Ben. And Ben had me slapping my forehead all the time.
• Carlos. Aside from the obvious (dog bite, how he raised Sarah, unable to turn a turbine key) he cautions Kenny about the consequences of rash actions.... and yet the first thing he does when he sees Carver is spit on him (which in my mind is the ultimate form of disrespect). I would've broken his fucking fingers too.
• Carley. Baby girl can't work batteries. -pinching the bridge of my nose-

He must have also learned professional gun-handling from his dad too: trying to yank a rifle out of a grown man's hands by the barrel, while it's pointed right at your vital organs

Most of the survivors in ZA movies/games are dumbasses anyway, and TWD follows that rule.

The Stranger. I hate this bitch, but give him his props... he successfully got Lee killed.

I'm not sure how you could say this. It was a simple, obvious trap. Otherwise he was kinda moronic leaving his car with the doors wide open and getting easily murdered by a severely wounded Lee when all the odds were in his favor

CandySquared

Each in no particular order:

Smartest:

1. Pete (He seems really smart and reasonable. A very good leader. I wanted him to live instead of Nick who is basically a mash-up of Ben and Kenny.)

2. Kenny ("Where there's smoke there's fire. Christa heard about Wellington, too, right?" Before that line, I was seriously thinking of siding with Jane about going to Howe's even though I greatly disliked her, I outright hated her after her AJ plan, though. Matthew and Carver heard about it, too. Wellington isn't like the boat, other people heard about it, so it wasn't just solely Kenny's desperation like last time... which ended up being true anyway just like Wellington. It was still a little bit of a leap of faith for me to trust him completely, but that ONE line had me deciding to agree with him.)

3. The Stranger (Yeah he's not the nicest guy, but did you see all that shit he had in his car? I'm not lying when I say he'd be my first pick if I were to make a survival group out of all of the characters. He's obviously good at finding supplies, so good in fact that they took it all from him and his family.)

4. Chuck (Taught Lee to cut Clem's hair and made him teach Clem to shoot a gun.)

5. Molly (Though I can't stand her, she'd be in my survival group too, for obvious reasons.)

Least smartest:

1. Ben (Do I really have to say?)

2. Jane (The AJ plan, enough said.)

3. Carver ("All right, prisoners, I'm just gonna round you all up in this here ONE area instead of putting you in separate places so you can't converse with each other. You won't try to form a plan to escape or anything just like last time, right Luke, Alvin (determinant), Nick (determinant), Sarah, Carlos, and Rebecca? Heh heh.")

4. Bonnie ("Lol, yeah I'm just gonna walk closer to Luke on this thin ice even though he told me to stay away. I won't break the ice due to added weight or anything!")

5. Luke ("Clem, we need to get away from our cover! We can't just let a guy waste his ammo because I need him to shoot me in the leg so that my death scene makes some sort of sense!" among other stuff. Black-Op1 basically said my answer for him.)

6. Christa and Omid ("Hey, 9 year old Clem, go check out the bathroom without us even though it's extremely possible that there's murderers, bandits, rapists, and/or walkers in there who might outnumber you and the bullets in your gun! Us having sex is more important than your safety right now! Man oh man, we sure are making Lee proud! Parents of the year award! More than 16 months later after having reunited and I still haven't taught you how to make a fire! Yep, definitely a better guardian than Lee just because I was with you longer!")
