User blog:ShoeOffHead/BEARDO WAS DONE DIRTY, HE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE!!!!

Okay a bit of a clickbaity title of a blog but recently I have been re-watching Pahitew Island to see if it really was as half-baked as I remember, if the character were really as bad as everyone is saying and here is my conclusion.

Are the characters half-backed?
Yes... and no... Beardo was forgettable and a gimmick, so was Leonard, Rodney, Max (even though he was one of the better gimmicks) and Ella. Amy and Topher were terrible but less gimmicky. Dave and Scarlett had a good first half, hack Dave had actually plenty of funny moments during the first couple of episodes and Scarlett personality was really likable but their descent into madness killed both characters. That leaves, Sky, Shawn, Sugar and Jasmine were the only consistent characters around. Sky, while being consistent, was really boring, Shawn, is a bit of a gimmick but his friendship with his team and his relationship with Jasmine is really fun to watch. Sugar, probably the most hilarious of this cast and I think she should definitely be in another season. And then finally the star of the season Jasmine, the best character to come out of this season, and she is still as likable as she used to be. But now having said this you wonder why the title? Well after watching the season I decided to watch the audition takes? And...

Audition tapes!
So not a lot changed for me when watching the audition takes... except my perception of Beardo. His audition makes him quite a relatable character (with the exception of the noises). In his audition he speaks in a rhythmically about how he is actually quite shy and because of that makes noises and beats before warming up to people. Basically he is an awkward person who doesn't know how to communicate with others he newly meet and aren't we all that a little. I'm not saying he can be some incredibly deep character but I feel like him being eliminated before some other trash character (Leonard, Rodney, Ella even though she's hella cute she is not relatable). So yeah I think Beardo deserve a bit more time on the show even if it's just a episode of 4-5
