Yeah, I already considered that and I stand by my initial point. The only two people that really played the game knowing of Mal were Alejandro and Zoey (and I guess Duncan to a lesser extent; Cameron didn't find out about him until after he had been eliminated). Even then, Mal barely interacted with the people he eliminated.

He exposed Courtney for being a fraud then didn't even speak to her for the rest of the challenge, screwed Scott over but that was when the episode was already halfway over, and never directly conversed with Gwen. The problem with Mal is that he was set up to be a "behind-the-scenes villain" meaning all the times he attempted to sabotage someone (emphasis on "attempted" since, let's face it, he sucked), he never actually confessed to it and thus they never reacted.

I still say no but you could always ask another admin for their opinion. Perhaps I'm just blanking on good examples of when Mal had a substantial interaction with one of his peers. Overall, I mainly contribute all of Mal's missed potential to the bad writing. I mean, I don't even think season length cuts it because even Scott performed better than he did in the same amount of time. Heck, even Justin was a better villain and his reign of terror only lasted for, like, eight episodes.
