User blog comment:VeryUnknownFan/"Conveniences" that made players last a lot longer than usual (whether by writing, production, etc)./@comment-4742462-20170522202444/@comment-26708053-20170522203732

Alejandro actually put some decent strategy and effort into his role as a villian, he made fake friendships (that he kept for a while) to have allies, used his charm and good looks to manipulate or eliminate people, and he continued fueling drama and conflicts (love triangle, him and Heather, etc) in order to get out of the spotlight unlike Mal. Also, 2-4 people being "dumbed down" (Harold, Leshawna, and maybe Bridgette and DJ) doesn't compare to almost the ENTIRE CAST (minus maybe Heather and Alejandro I guess) of All Stars being dumbed down or doing things stupid/out of character to allow him to seem superior and get further.
