User blog comment:TheDipDap1234/My Top 10 Favorite TD/RR Eliminations/@comment-26704228-20160410151326

Well, this is gonna be long.

About Eva, the elimination was good, even if the Bass hadn't lost, Eva would still be pretty hated which can't harm Heather. The problem was that no one saw Heather doing it, she randomly goes to some specific point, stretches for a second and goes back, that would look weird, at least to me. What I liked about the elimination is Eva's talk on the boat, acknowledging her anger problems and knowing about what the Bass are about to face like Heather did.

No arguement about Owen, Alejandro was good and Owen was finally eliminated after stealing Noah's or Tyler's spot in the merge who needed that screentime way more.

Lindsay... oh Lindsay, that elimination was terrible to me because after Lindsay's huge development, they gave her the most terrible way to be eliminated. Sad eliminations are cool but mostly if they're caused by the antagonist, not from one's own stupidity. If Courtney managed to get enough votes to get Lindsay out more fairly and was just better than Lindsay in that case, that would've been better (but still bad because Lindsay deserved finale so much). And the goodbye speech could've been better as well (I totally stopped caring about Lindsay and Beth's friendship after Get a Clue where Beth was such a terrible not-caring friend), and her last words that were pretty stupid didn't help, something like "I'll miss you all" would've worked more.

Even though I didn't notice so much heartwarming speeches (like Katie and Sadie's one), I did enjoy that moment very much and I remember I rewatched it several times because of how cute that was. And to add more, Tom and Jen actually showed they care about the competition unlike other people with similiar personalities. And I knew they're not the type that lasts long so I accepted their elimination despite them being one of my favorites and was happy they left with such a good note.

Don't have much to say about place 3-6, I guess I could've liked Heather's TDA one more if I loved the show more back then and could enjoy these early seasons more.

Heather's TDI eliumination was pretty good, good that she was eliminated by two of her major enemies she did so much to (Gwen and Lindsay). While I felt bad for every antagonist after his karma including her, it was definitely better than Alejandro and Scott.

About some of the honorable mentions:

Duncan's TDWT elimination was so satisfying. After all that jerk did it was the closest thing we got to karma (at least he went to prison in TDAS) by him being beaten up and then finally eliminated. The show became much better at this point (TDWT final 4 is epic).

And as much as I wish Zoey wasn't eliminated, I gotta admit she had really cute moments with prefering her friend over money and pretty much everything of her from that epiosde.

Watched Katie's elimination again and gotta say that it would've been better if that wasn't Katie and Sadie because my prespective on them isn't that serious. It was pretty okay, but let's say that I cared more about Katie's voice sounding like Lindsay's than her speech (and yes, I do have a heart).

And I'll add some of my own:

Courtney in TDI: While like I said I couldn't enjoy the earlier seasons that much, I can still only imagine how shocking that wuld be because everyone predict Harold will go due to being the least popular. And Courtney was a very main character who seemed to make it at least past the merge. Then Harold revealed what he did and that was probably his best moment, finally getting revenge at Duncan in a harsher (why does that sound wrong?) way than all of Duncan's bullying.

Trent in TDI: Well, this is a sad scene that doesn't feel robbed or that he was eliminated in a stupid way. It was very sad and touching, especially for a Gwent fan.

Geoff in TDI: Even though the voting was kinda bad, it was still done well besides that. Gwen opened up to him and actually got him his camera from the lake and thanked him for everything. Geoff was at his regular adorable sweet and their pic in the end was very cute.

Leshawna in TDA: I just like those times when people make alliance and don't randomly vote, it really gives us a taste of real Survivor, especially when there is a big time gap between the challenge and the eliminaion. Plus, Courtney was brilliant.

Alejandro in TDWT: If that counts. Heather pulled a good and unexcepted trick, the antagonist's downfall, need I say more?

Scott in TDRI: Not as much as the others but still wanted to mention. Even though it was obvious he'll go home because of his injuries, it still had something special. He was eliminated by just a regular elimination ceremony and a voting, which doesn't seem fit for an antagonist. Yet again, he had his injuries that ruin that.

Amy in TDPI: Samey pulled a really good trick on her, showing her development and that she is really smart.

Twins in RR: I liked their role this episode, they had an advantage at first which is good for underdogs like them and then Mickey showed a normal stage fright that people can actually relate to more than their allergies. We also had Emma and Noah's plot that Noah was also scared performing in front of the girl he loves, which people can understand as well. Then Emma realized she actually cares about Noah and even sabotaged the Twins giving us the first RR sabotage.
