Sure I'll explain.

Overall, I think it's no secret that TDA has ended up becoming one of the more peaceful and underwhelming seasons, save for some amazing moments from Lindsay and Courtney, one of who was eliminated in the previous episode. The character I was rooting for most from the entire final five (and later final six because of Owen's dumb return) left, leaving the remainder of the cast rather underwhelming. Beth is bland, you already know how I feel about her. Duncan is a jerk. And Courtney debuted and Owen returned, meaning they shouldn't become finalists. That only leaves Harold, and having only one person to root for in the Final Five is a pretty bad thing tbh. Especially since I don't even like Harold as much as other people seem to.

You could say I was feeling bitter about Lindsay's stupid elimination, and you would be right. However, that's not the ONLY reason I didn't like it. It also has to do with what all the characters were doing in this episode. Duncan and Harold nearly became friends, which I LIKED because Duncan has had WAY too many conflicts this season to be a satisfying finalist (Heather, Leshawna, Courtney and Harold have all been his conflicts, and even Lindsay at one point, and these conflicts were always resolved by one member that's not writer's pet Duncan getting voted off). However, in an effort to create cheap drama, they make Duncan and Harold at odds again, when they could have nicely resolved a conflict that was getting VERY old at this point, especially since Harold was going to be eliminated next anyway. Then there's Owen. He, as usual in TDA, did nothing but be an annoying nuisance who just sat around like a tub of lard and made me hate him more with every passing second. We get it, Chris is making you create drama but you like everyone...

Anyway I'd say Courtney was the only part of this episode I genuinely enjoyed. Beth's plot was obvious, as in it was obvious that she would ally with Courtney (like she had any other options). And then Beth talks about Brady. Again. And then...she talks TO Brady. Anyway about Courtney, she was the best part of the episode with her desperate attempts at an alliance and her fish fighting. The highlight was Harold punching Duncan, but other than that, their plot was a bland shot at cheap drama. I know this sounds obvious but Courtney and Beth's plot would have been much better if Beth was replaced with Lindsay, and Courtney attempted to put aside her rivalry with Lindsay and ally with her. It would also make all the teasing that Beth did to Courtney more in-character for Lindsay, after what happened in Get a Clue.
