Alternate

Someone who is not good enough, up to par, achieves satisfactory expectations. Someone who would be the best at what they do if only they are given the chance, which they never do.

Friend 1: Hey! What happened to Cindy? I heard she went home.

Friend 2: Yea, she was only an alternate so they had better people in line before her. So she didn't get the position she wanted and was turned away.
