@Phoenix, Yes, Alejandro is VERY overrated and gets far too much credit than he deserves. Besides being an obvious Villain Stu, he also predated Mal in terms of how the cast of his season was dumbed down in order to make him look better.

The only reason why people seem to cut Alejandro so much slack is because they hated Justin (who he was created as an improved version of) and Courtney as villains in the previous more. He's also one of those characters who has an obnoxious fanbase with hostile people in it that further ruins him.
