User blog comment:Stryzzar/Character Appreciation - Week 44: Shawn/@comment-5366411-20171103171407

I must say, he used to be my favorite male Pahkitew contestant. However, after some rewatch, I found his gimmick to be very annoying and repetitive after the... first episde? Don't know. I think the main problem with him is that his "zombies duurh brains daaarh" paranoic thingy was supposed to be a serious trait to "develop" his character (unlike Max's, Leonard's or Ella's gimmicks which were entirely played for laughs).

Don't get me wrong, I think this might be worked on another kind of season. But when you're in a wacky season where half of the cast is gimmicky and zany characters (Max, Leonard, Topher, Ella, Rodney, Beardo, Sugar) and the other half is serious (Dave, Sky, Jasmine, Scarlett, Amy, Samey), then trying to be the "middle ground" with a "serious" gimmick is kind of... unworking.

Oh well, at least I liked his relationship with Jasmine and his friendship with Dave (seriously, I really think this interaction is underrated. Too bad it was ruined with the finale).

Best Episode: Hurl and Go Seek

Best Moment: "Sacrificing" himself to save Jasmine from the "zombies."
