Hold on, can you stop referring to Sam as a Super Saiyan? That's just disrespect toward Goku and actual Super Saiyans. As for the topic, agreed I always thought Mal breaking the contestants possessions was strategy. The show could have done a better job at making this clear but overall  I don't think Mal was being as "dumb" as people think. I also liked how in the second half of the season he used strategies reminicent to earlier seasons (rigging the votes, manipulating Cameron into kissing Courtney to break up her relationship with Scott). One of the things I would like them to do if they ever bring back or touch upon Mike and his personalities again is if we can get a backstory on Mike such as what happened in his life for him to get MPD, what did Mal do to get him sent to Juvie, and how was it like when Mal "ran" the place like Duncan said? I don't care about Mike but I think Mal has a lot of potential to become a more fleshed out character/villain.

And even if it wasn't strategy, regardless I like the concept of an antagonist who does petty things for the hell of it. It's unique and fits with the concept of being a evil split personality imo. If the show comes back he needs to come back (even though it's next to impossible due to the whole....reset button thing).
