User blog comment:SilverthehedgehogMan/Am I the only person who doesn't count Justin as an antagonist?/@comment-31556666-20161003143046

He doesn't JUST force Gwen to lose for her team. That does such a disservice to him. Justin is the one to discover the Gwent charade in the first place. So in that respect, he was one of the major factors behind Trent being eliminated besides Trent himself and Gwen. He caused Gwen to lose for her team the episode after. He targets Izzy four episodes later. He also has a part in Leshawna being eliminated, as he is the one to form a guy's alliance. That's 4 people eliminated. That's still way better than Courtney in TDA.

I actually think Justin is a fantastic antagonist. I count him as an antagonist but I don't count him as a villain. He's much more sociable than the likes of Heather, Courtney, Scott, Mal, or the Ice Dancers and he has vulnerability to his personality, and more of it than any other antagonist. He's funny on the level of the Ice Dancers too despite being an antagonist so he has that going for him too. I'm not even counting the fact that he has the best social game ever by default. Everyone admires him and/or finds him highly attractive. I definitely think he's one of the best antagonists the show has had, as odd of an opinion that is. Being an antagonist isn't just about how impressive you are as one. It's also about how entertaining you carry this kind of title as one. This is the reason why I'd prefer the likes of an Ice Dancers duo over say, a Heather.
