SHARK JUMPER

based on the phrase "Jumping the shark".
Used to describe a person who at one time may have been seen in a favorable light - and is now unfavorable to be around.

At one time, said individual's shortcomings may have been tolerable, overshadowed by their good qualities - now the individual has become intolerable and brutal to be in the company of.

Jumped the shark

A metaphor that identifies the exact moment a TV show has reached its creative peak. Or to put it bluntly, it’s the beginning of the end of a once great show. The moment in which it becomes clear the writers are out of good ideas and the show has begun its decent downhill. It’s usually some ridiculous stunt, story line, major character change, or huge fundamental shift in the premise of the show that is viewed as nothing more than a desperate attempt to raise viewership and declining ratings. The phrase refers to an episode of the popular 1970’s sitcom Happy Days, in which one of the main characters is water skiing (while wearing his trademark leather motorcycle jacket mind you), and literally jumps over a shark.
As far as I’m concerned, America’s Next Top Model jumped the shark when Tyra chose that air-headed idiot Nicole as the winner, instead the much more talented and deserving Nik.

It's like jumping the shark but worse. Not only does the show now suck but it's sticky and smells like shit. Not to mention it ruined a pair of good shorts.
