I think the reason that the third stands out so far is because the other two simply could be explained as 'no fault'/genetic. If you're somehow fundamentally 'wired' to get off on submission and public degradation, then being a chair in public might really just be your thing. Yeah, we might not get it, but it takes all kinds.
Same thing goes for the stalker. I wouldn't say he's so much beta/omega as he is, well, 'broken'. It's hard for me to call him a beta or an omega, because his behavior seems to be more in the full-on 'dysfunctional human being' category than not. He is, in my mind, one to be pitied and helped, probably with assistance from mind altering drugs.
Where the third truly shines is in his appearance of a perfectly normal guy who has ended up on the shit end of the stick. There's no real excuses to be had here; he's got all his faculties, and he's exhibiting all the classic beta/omega behaviors. He's not doing it because he truly gets off on it; he's not doing it because his brain is architecturally missing a few pieces; he's doing it because he is the paragon of omega/beta.
That is why he seems so much more worthy to me.

There is really no contest here. It's the third one, without question. Absolutely mind-boggling.
