I rewatched AS and it's literally not that bad! I actually found myself laughing at some of the dialogue and gags. Personally I prefer the end game; even if a lot of them were dumbed down, Al, Courtney, and Gwen canonically were way better players than Mal in all three of the major aspects -physical, social, and strategic-, hell Courtney even was arguably THE biggest threat because she had a technical majority by the time it was the F7 because of Mal turning on Cameron and Alejandro being on his own. Anyways, the ways he eliminated them makes sense too; Alejandro needed to be weakened in order for him to be defeated, Mal had to break up Courtney's majority, and Gwen was the one who was the most ready to get him off and arguably the biggest threat in the F4 anyway so of course sabotaging her was the best route. In regards to Alejandro and this episode, while Mike being stronger than Alejandro seems OOC, Mal is technically the strongest personality of the five, and Mike is actually pretty athletic and has a muscular build so it's not that weird that he'd be able to hurt his wrist. Plus, I personally feel like no one would care, just like in canon, what happened to Alejandro so even if he successfully did his deed, no one would believe him anyway and Mike still would likely be in a better position to get to the F4 because of the Zoey factor and Courtney hating her. I feel like I literally didn't even make sense and was jotting down something, but yeah, that's how I feel about this episode.
