User blog comment:Raised By Wolves/Character Appreciation - Week 1: Alejandro/@comment-4742462-20170103012806/@comment-24152851-20170103050348

If Alejandro was nothing more than a bag of unexplained talents that plowed through the season with no explanation, then I wouldn't like him at all. But he's so much more than that. He shows all of the effort and planning he puts behind orchestrating each elimination, so he really earns each one rather than it getting handed to him. His "one-shot" talents rarely ever contribute directly to the victory in an episode, and they're just there for fun.
