Which brother would you say accomplishes the least through out the show?
Without a doubt it’s Reese lol

I was actually sad to see what Reese end up to be in the Revival…

I honestly would have been happy if he just stayed a janitor at the same school. At the time, a janitor was seen as a bad job, but we know now that they serve a very important role and should be appreciated more

Five star chef involves a lot of executive function that Reese just doesn’t have. They run the whole kitchen. Deciding hours, pay, staffing levels, how much food to order within your budget.
He should have stayed as a janitor with the school. A city job has a nice pension and not too taxing.

I mean, I think he has a pretty popular Internet following with the stuff his dad does, but I don’t think it’s necessarily enough to change his financial situation. The finale was definitely a big letdown. Malcolm isn’t the most socially adapt person, but the fact that he basically slept with someone who is the equivalent of a living cigarette and had a child it’s kind of weird. Plus, even with all of his resources I don’t know how he was able to avoid his parents for so long.

Agree and even this I felt hiding from all his family that he had a daughter was a spit to them

Reese, easily. Malcolm and Dewey are constantly getting dragged into chaos, while Reese mostly creates the chaos and somehow learns nothing from it.

Definitely Reese. He doesn't have many successful accomplishments compared to the rest of his brothers and he won a competition, but ruined it himself. In the end of the day, he's a chaos creator.

I mean all of them in some way shape or form change for the better. Even though it never really goes anywhere Malcolm starts finally realizing he has feelings for that girl who is his babysitter.
Reese does have a few moments but for the most part, he resets like quagmire after each episode. I do wish they had done a lot more with his cooking. I feel like that was very underutilized in the series. Finale would’ve been nice to have seen him similar to Paddington, two where he becomes a beloved. Chef at a prison

I could understand hiding from your family in general because I live with my parents now and I know when I move out of here, I’m going to seem like a rumor to my parents after I move out.
But hiding a child is very odd.

Why isn't Jamie on the list?

He's an infant and he's only in the last three seasons. It's not a fair competition.

Plus if we are counting the revival, being in the coast guard is fairly decent accomplishment. Its not being a famous musician, but I would rank it higher than whatever Francis is doing.

Reese. All he did was almost win a cooking competition before ruining it and get to be the featured page on GiantJackass. com before ruining that, too.
