Alejandro himself was just okay, but I didn't really feel it was worthy of an Emmy as most people seem to think. True, but honestly he was one of the less terrible parts of the season. Really disappointing since most of the TDAS clips that were released on time were not too bad. Part of me feels like the decision to almost not release the late clips was a good idea. I don't care if some people think Courtney's TDA karma wasn't enough, at least with Alejandro his character's decency was mostly preserved. Courtney is nothing but a writer's punchbag in that episode. Some people say they predicted Courtney would go down that path, alright can see some reasoning, BUT it should not have be done like that. The previous seasons always gave Courtney a reason why she snapped and turned mean, (TDI: Harold, TDWT: Gwuncan), there was no reason to justify her sudden character change in the space of 1 episode. Cam kissing her doesn't count since she made up with Scott afterwards and was still fairly happy in "Obsta-Kill Kourse". The fact that she took the sundae with her into the toilet I already knew they would go as far as to have it come out of the toilet. No character ever takes an item from the challenge (unless they physically can't be separated like Bridgette's pole). It's like the sundae is symbolism for the shame the writers are making her carry around. Exactly, is there really such a big vendetta against Courtney that they have to deliver her karma 3 seasons late? And that's coming from the guy who didn't research any previous seasons, so makes you wonder. I accept some people like mean Courtney, but you don't take a character in one direction and do a recoil out of nowhere, not just out of respect for the character but respect for everything the season had set up prior to that and the work of previous writers. Well clearly they didn't know, I'm trying not to directly insult the writers, but it's practically a fact there was favoritism and bias at work. Same deal with Cameron being an elimination houdini. I've noticed the clips like taking the contestants to a TDWT location the characters narrowly survived/escaped, then having them face that hazard at it's fullest capacity (Jo and the scarabs, Heather and the polar bear in Yukon). The contestants were so close to dying in Niagara Brawls, and now they just decide to drop them off the edge. Ugh, unbelievable. Back when I first saw TDAS I hadn't started hating Chris, but by this stage I have and he has gotten away with far too much.

I didn't say they would smoothe over the matters, only that I think giving a fresh wave of criticism to them over the TDAS clips probably won't be warranted since they've already received countless lengthy feedback over SMS.

Oh, there's no need to feel guilty. I did choose to come here of my own free will. But it is a bit hard balancing everything. I'll let you know once I am completely free.
