Okay, first episode in awhile, but I gotta say, this is honestly the most boring episode of the entire season.

You easily could’ve cut out so much of the episode, but you left in so much filler, leaving this massive episode that could’ve been summed up much quicker.

The hands-down biggest problem with this episode, and the season as a whole, are the challenges. Every. Single. Challenge. Is the most confusing mess to follow for me. Every episode expands on a previous challenge and adds so many elements that it just baffles me on what the goal of the challenge even is.

There’s somehow too much detail, which I’m not even sure how it can happen. Every action has to be exactly explained in like, a paragraph, and I naturally skim through it so I can actually get to the gist of what’s being said.

The characters in this episode are so boring the entire time. Michael and Viviana are pretty much alone and nothing really happens, except the stereotypical awkward romance plot points (especially the whole “character sacrifices themself for their loved one”, which happens in every plot right before the sacrificee gets eliminated). Why were Diego and Kaele so stupid? I might just be forgetting something, but why didn’t they ever attempt to work with Michael and Viviana? They only ever wanted to work with Elyse, when you could’ve just gotten the majority and voted out Tristan, with Elyse being the secondary-target.

The elimination. Oh god, I hate the elimination. I was SO ready for Michael to just get voted out. But no. The worst form of elimination once again comes around, and Michael is evacuated. There are so many things I hate about this, and for like the ten-millionth time, it’s not even that Michael’s out, the execution was just pitiful. With that out of the way, here’s what my original thoughts on what I thought would happen with him. The game starts, all 20 remain. Michael doesn’t do much on his team, making a friend or two and not rubbing anybody the wrong way. But during the F17-15 challenge, he suffers a major sugar crash (or whatever it’s called), loses the challenge and is fairly voted out. Sounds kinda lame, but I thought he was fun and it’d be nice to not see that much of him. I wanted to incorporate him in my season, making it somewhere near merge, maybe 12th-10th. But he survives F17. Then 16. Then 15. Then Blake leaves, and Michael merges. I was shocked that you wanted to keep Michael in the game. I heard you liked writing him, which made me feel alot better about him. I was somehow disappointed that he went this far, since he just became boring. Speaking of which.

Michael and Viviana are boring. There’s nothing fun TBA.
