Ben, he may be an idiot, but at least he has some sort of idea whats going on, and doesnt have (what I presume to be) a mental disorder like Sarah has
I guess Ben might keep him alive for maybe 10 seconds longer than Sarah? Lmao.
Nothing against either really so I don't mind. Maybe Sarah as she is younger and more innocent, so she could be around for longer.
Edit: read the second one as sole survivor in apocalypse lol. Maybe Ben actually, as he is at least a little more capable and what not.
Sarah. Bit older, without glasses, she could have been attractive woman. Mia Khalifa type. Yes.
Well Ben proved to be at least a bit more competent than Sarah I would suppose. When he seen danger he at least was able to run from it...although that meant abandoning the girl he was supposed to be protecting from them...can we choose for AJ to just go it alone?
Edit: I forgot to mention who I would rather have with me and honestly I wouldn't want either once again, but knowing that both would be worthless anyway I would just take Sarah since I am a young hetero male. Don't question my decision! I can't deal with that shitbird Ben!
Can AJ be his own caregiver?
This is not fair.
Yeahhh.....
Ben was willing to step his not existing game up, but remember when they entered Savannah, the Zombies got attracted by the church bell and Ben&Clem got circled by Walkers and Ben just ran away and left her... Yea, he'd do the same with AJ..
And Sarah, she'd just have a breakdown at one point, she lived all the time in her room reading books, she has 0 surviving skills and would die after a day.
But I'd still give AJ Ben, cause he can at least run and not freeze like Sarah.
And about who to be the sole survivor with me.. is actually the question if I want the last human with me on earth to be male or female and I'd choose Sarah. ;/
Ben can actually look out for himself, unlike Sarah. I wouldn't trust Sarah at all to look after A.J.
Glasses are attractive
1) Who would you trust to be AJ's caregiver out of Ben and Sarah?
2) if you had to chose between Ben and Sarah being the sole survivor with you in the apocalypse which one would you choose.
You know, I saw the title and immediately mimic'd Douglas' expression, but the OP saved it--Good job!
Anyway, I think letting Sarah be the one to do it would make the most sense.
EDIT: Oh, she'd also be the my(Clementine?) co-survivor as well.
Well, it's more of a psychological issue, but whatever.
Ben. (help me God)
I have to go with Ben. I think he gets a bad rap and most of his mistakes were bad luck.

Definitely Ben on both occasions.
Despite his cowardly and dumb choices he makes, at least he is aware of the way the world is and could probably protect him a bit. Sarah would most likely walk up to a walker and say "hey Mr Zombie, look at this baby, ain't he cute?", and then she would "cease to function"
You'd really trust Sarah to look after AJ? Even though she was going crazy after her dad died? Nah i'd take my chances with Ben
Okay dude, I know Sarah could come off as a tad dopey at times, but I'm pretty sure it was established she knows "Anything Walker-related=Bad".
For both situations, it's hard to tell. Ben is the more physically capable of the two, but Sarah's better at cooperating with others. I think they're equally trustworthy, though, even if they're not the best under pressure.
Well, crazy or not, she is a female in her double digits, she naturally shares Kenny's later attachment issues(among other things), and she was always one of the nicest and/or most empathetic characters in that Season by default, so I think it makes sense to bank on those three pre-existing things coming through.
Which isn't to say I don't like or trust Ben, it's just that I prefer Sarah for objective and subjective reasons.
Though I'm also assuming Clementine would be involved in caring for him in either case as well.
While both of them aren't capable enough to look after a baby, I think I would trust Sarah more than Ben.
Ben may seem physically capable, but he's held back by his self-preservation instinct when faced with danger and his occasional incompetence that is known to get people indirectly killed. After all, Ben did run away in a panic when ordered by Lee to help save Clementine when she was surrounded by walkers. At that point I wouldn't really trust this kind of person to look after a baby if they're liable to abandon someone in a panic, even if they do end up regretting it.
Now, one could argue that Sarah does the same thing in Season 2, but the difference was how Sarah ran from the group after being traumatized by the death of her father, and that she was not ordered to care for Clementine at any point in Season 2. Her case was more understandable and justified than Ben, personally.
In Sarah's case, in her scenes she's shown to be a little more courageous than Ben, such as standing up to Carver if he hits Clementine or rushing to her dad's aid if he hit Carlos. She's also shown to be more aware of her surroundings than her father gives her credit for, and was willing to learn self defense.
Again, both of them aren't really capable of looking after a child (and then again, Clementine isn't either), but if I would have to choosen, I'd still pick Sarah.
Yikes, choosing the lesser of two evils is never fun. I'd honestly have to go with Ben in both scenarios, despite him being a massive shitbird. He is accident prone but is at least somewhat cognizant of how the world is and that he needs to step up. Sarah is a mess, she couldn't take care of herself let alone anyone else. I'd have to choose Ben as my survivor team mate as well, because at least he's freakishly tall and could probably help carry supplies or fend off walkers better than Sarah.
Oh yeah, she did technically do that, didn't she? There's also the fact that she didn't have a weapon and was one of the three group beacons for the walkers at the time, so getting herself out of there was the smartest thing to do even if it was emotionally driven.
That's pretty much the case with their characters in general. I still really like and especially sympathize with both though--just moreso with Sarah.
Huh. You know, I never thought about that since while Ben is older and largest, they're both timid and lanky and therefore not built for fighting. But I suppose a chick with a psychological disorder standing up to a tyrannical psychopath she's well aware/afraid of is technically braver than a young man just getting sick of keeping secrets and feeling useless.
Which is why I admire Sarah as a character due to subtle moments of awesomeness such as this, and why I'm disappointed in Telltale for going down the 'the weak and disabled are liabilities and shouldn't be save' route in Amid the Ruins.
Ironically enough, part of me thinks that wasn't quite what they were going for in the end and it just happened to line up that way because of their combined spiteful laziness, creative favoritism, and confusing sloppiness. Remember that Sarah admits she has a problem before and after she's saved, was apparently trying to think of how she can deal with it so she can improve, warns the group about the herd when she didn't have to, and just followed orders even when Bonnie gave her one she apparently didn't like--all this in spite of the two "stronger" characters(Kenny and Jane) either having to be convinced and/or screwing around somewhere else. And then there's the irony of Arvo more or less destroying the group by doing practically nothing but react to those two's bullshit--despite being a caricature of everything Carver's types hate. And then there's the hypocrisy of having Clementine(and Mariana?) come as far as she did from meager beginnings with every advantage available and the focus on protecting AJ despite a baby being such a "liability" that Jane is disturbed by them.
It's essentially a subplot with unfortunate implications that not only went practically nowhere, but didn't have that much of a clue to begin with.
I love the flowery stickers on the walkie-talkie. Little Clem was such a sweetheart.
I think its kinda cool the way we get to see Clementine grow up through the series, but at the same time, I miss little innocent Clem, who wasnt so exposed to the horrors of the world
Sure, but she is still unable to run away, she freezes whenever she is in danger, Ben can at least run away
I choose... Euthanasia
Ben gave those to her, interestingly enough.
What's the difference? Either way he's fucked.
Pretty sure that's not what she did in the actual herd.
That was different in the herd. Her dad died and she screamed and probably ran going nuts. Luke said she was running through the woods like a maniac.
Well she came across as clueless most of the time to the outside world. She may have known that walkers were dangerous but had never seen them do what they did to her dad before it happened. I just cannot for the life of me ever see her caring for AJ over Ben. Ben is older as well and he had a little sister, he may have babysitted her if she was a lot younger but we'll never know. I would just trust him more than Sarah who would not be able to look after the baby after losing her dad. I don't think she would have got over it. She was saying stuff like "when dad gets back we'll go back to the cabin", the things she was saying was sadly messed up
Um, why not? They're both infamously the most incompetent survivors thus seen in the series.
Ok i did say this earlier so i'll add it here again:
Its just that what i said earlier, i can't see Sarah being a good carer for AJ compared to Ben and the reason I say it is because of her mental state when her dad died. She just wasn't good at all. If this didn't happen i would still choose Ben though. I feel as though that due to Ben being older, the fact he had a little sister that he may have babysitted or had experience looking after assuming she was a lot younger than him i mean, and as he seems to be more aware of the dangers of the walkers and humans, also that he can at least kill walkers, i'd trust him more than Sarah.
But hey he certainly wouldn't be my first choice. Lee all the way
I don't want anyone to take care of AJ. I just want Sarah to be Clementine's best friend.
Ben could have a small chance of finding a crew with more capable people. With Sarah he would definitely be fucked. She was so out of her mind at one point, she thought Carlos was alive some time after she watched him get eaten.
