1. First off, where was Hali ever shown trying to be nice to Nina? That was Joe who pulled her aside and had a heart-to-heart with her.

2. See #1. He doesn't just won challenges, he's a great taller with an excellent social game.

3. If Shirin did/tried anything else noteworthy, I'm pretty sure they would've shown it. But what they did show was her trying to flip Tyler, which failed. And that's obviously for a reason.

4. He said that in the confessional, not to her. Therefore, they had zero basis to call him a misogyonist. Carolyn has criticized Shirin for more or less the same thing, but they're not labeling her as some kind of bigot.

5. Will might have had a fighting chance with the Red Collar Trio, primarily because they showed him unconditional mercy TWICE in voting off Vince and Nina over him. Sure, he just might make it to the finale thanks to Rodney, but at what cost? He betrayed his closest allies - none of whom will vote for him as a result, and the rest really don't know him. And just because he has a few funny one-liners does NOT mean he's automatically likable. Again, his betrayals make him seem unloyal and untrustworthy, to the point where even Mike didn't trust him. Plus, the opening of this episode proves that he's also easily paranoid, which is a negative. The fact is that, in any possible final three courtesy of Rodney, he either loses to Carolyn or Tyler. No way he beats them, for all the reasons I just listed.
