@Moneyballer, you've pretty much summed up why I too consider Max to be such a god-awful character. Of all the Family Guy-esque characters from that season, he is the most out of place (even more than Sugar who is far worse character wise to me).

It really annoys me when people say Max floating was justified in order to be give Scarlett her karma. As you said, they could have done it with a character who wasn't All-Stars Scott 2.0 or doesn't look like an Adventure Time reject as Stryzzar puts it. The fact that Max outranked Scarlett to was like a slap in the face to both her elimination and her plot for it to all amount to being outranked by the one person who she tried to eliminate twice (and would've succeeded if Chris hadn't vetoed the votes for BS reasons). It also ruined the only episode from the 2nd half of Pahkitew Island that I remotely liked.

I also consider him to be the worst of the floaters thus far as he got as far as being voted off once only to have the votes be backpedalled for no reason. All he did for his last five episodes aside from floating was being in the worst team switch to date (valid for only one episode and ultimately amounting to nothing rendering it pointless by default). The fact that he would end up in a double elimination really forces me to ask why they couldn't have simply eliminated Max alongside Ella in Mo Monkey Mo Problems.

Max is sadly guaranteed to return simply due to his BS ranking of 5th place. Making it past the merge pretty much assures that he'll be one of the few characters from the 3rd Generation to ever compete again even though most of the non-merge eliminated are far more deserving of competing again.
