User blog comment:Tdilover7/Gwen and Sierra Troubles? A "Why Gwen Seems Angry at Sierra" Blog./@comment-1376932-20100714023018

Well, here's my opinion on each of the contestants' expressions.


 * Sierra - Obviously, climbing up a rope isn't exactly effortless if you have the same muscular build as Sierra. She's clearly struggling to get herself up to the rest of her teammates.
 * Gwen - Same as Sierra, though Gwen isn't actually climbing a rope, she's pulling it. She's struggling is all. Either that, or she may very well be frustrated with Sierra's actions, and would be mad when pulling her up.
 * Courtney - Courtney's usually always confident, even though she gets mad every so often. I think the smug expression on her face symbolizes that she's confident about winning the challenge.
 * Heather - Same as Courtney, except that's not Heather's "smug" face. She seems to be excited that she's going to win the challenge, or at least she hopes so.
 * Cody - Either he's fallen for Sierra, which is unlikely, or he's befriended her, which is also somewhat unlikely, especially because it's so early in the series, and an episode ago, he was creeped out by her (there's a possibility that he just wanted the two to be friends, and Sierra lied to him that she accepted that fact). But, judging from Cody's overall character, he's probably proud that he's a "man", and he's pulling a girl up. He feels muscular, and strong. Or, he could've made a "smooth move" and "scored" with Gwen.

My thoughts.
