He should've been out by the fifth episode, people are still rolling their eyes at the big dumb*** switcheroo they pulled with him. It would've spared at least him a ton of the damage that his part in the season inflicted on to him. Yeah, Ed MacDonald helmed the two episodes where he dodged elimination, which would suggest that for some unexplained reason he was inclined towards Cameron out of some sort of bias. Too big a coincidence for the question not to come up, as you said. It was all downhill for Cameron from that first false elimination onward, and it made him such an easy target for his already vocal and brutal haters. And after all the crap pulled with Cameron even as he continued to contribute nothing has made it hard to argue with them. Excluding ROTI, they were right about him being terrible.

Jeez, THAT'S what they wrote in summing up the episode the night it aired?! This is the kind of thing that has me complaining about how f'ed up their tastes in and understanding of humor are lately. I don't appreciate trolling by professionals like this against the audience. I mean there's teasing like what the creators of Avatar have always done........And then there's this, along with the entirety of All-Stars. Jeez.

You're quite right it didn't work. Simply because it's not funny.

I guess that was all supposed to be "charming" or something? I have no idea man, Scott's newfound popularity remains a mystery. I mean people can like who they like but his popularity's nuts considering how genuinely disliked he was before.

No it didn't, but for that brief moment it was something of a personal victory to see it finally come to pass. But you know me man, I like so many had nothing to be happy about when the damn thing was over. Still, at least I didn't have to put up with his depthless, personality-deprived waste of screentime past the second episode. No offense to those who do like him, even if I still don't get why.

Those both work, good observations.

Oh Thank God. Because I don't want to get in trouble for that. I don't want to step on any toes with anyone or the admins for a mistake like that.

Man, you really do hate him don't you? He's really that terrible, huh? 0_0 Well, I cannot say I'm the least bit shocked, a character with that little interaction with anyone else cannot be good news. Yeah, ditching characters with depth and interesting quirks for people like him is stupid, same crime they committed when Lightning and Mike surpassed Anne Maria, Brick, Dakota, Jo, and Dawn in ROTI.

Well if even Ms. Giles knows that, then that's a bad sign for this character.

Unfortunately, that does sound like something that Fresh, in their lack of wisdom and imagination would do. Bringing characters back purely for the sake of bringing back and for no other reason, except maybe to troll us with the underlying stupidity of it. And I can't tell you how much that pisses me off, bad enough we get plots that get killed later after full seasons of coverage thus robbing characters of their point in the seasons they participate in while making them look worse, but we bring back unfunny and one-dimensional, or gimmicky characters just for the sake of bringing back the dead weight of the casts? That sounds like the kind of crap Fresh is ready and willing to pull, which is why I'm so distrustful of them. They pull this kind of BS all the time. They want to mess with people's heads, take it somewhere else, but keep it out of the blasted scripts.

Exactly. You can easily ignore Justin, and he didn't cripple the series. Mal was so horrendous and offensive that to ignore the damage he did inflict would be dignifying such a poor and foolish decision far too much. Mal did do a lot of damage to the season and the show, so it makes sense why people are rallying for his (Mike's) permanent removal from the series.
