Lol, yes! Finally! XD

Yeah, as much as I love Mickey and Jay - they're my #3 favorite pair - I can totally see why people dislike them in this case. Not only do they have Cameron's old design, but they have Cameron's personality basically. The narrator even states it quite obviously that they're supposed to be the underdogs, calling them the "adversity twins," who must overcome all kinds of phobias and physical disadvantages. That's why I think they ultimately won't make it far like Cameron did - they're WAY too on-the-nose about their underdog status this time around, and if they DID go far again, they'd basically have Cameron's story verbatim and it would be really repetitive and lazy writing.

Taylor and Kelly, again, my beef with them is that there's no reason for them to be such opposites. The writers are already doing the "cool kid/lame parent" storyline with Dwayne and Junior, which is PERFECT because the contrast is obvious just by LOOKING at them. Here, you think these two would be ripe for the more-relevant reality TV stereotype of "equally prissy mom and daughter take on the world," like, say, Baylor and Missy from Season 29 of Survivor. So for them to basically make BOTH of the parent/child pairs have the EXACT same story is also kind of repetitive and lazy.

To be fair, I'm also a bit disappointed with Ellody, but not so much for her character, but rather, in terms of her voice. Like, seriously? Emilia couldn't even TRY to change her voice from Courtney? At least Kristin Fairlie TRIES to make Carrie sound like a different person from Bridgette. I'm not asking for INCREDIBLE range like, say, Scott McCord or Peter Oldring, but she could've at least TRIED.
