I've always wanted them to take three tribes into the merge, or at least longer than 4 episodes. It's so disappointing that they won't explore this possibility when I think it would be really amazing.
The Brain group, while most of them were idiots (and are now no longer in the game) appear to be actual fans of the show, which made me want to root for them even more. The Beauty group, well, I just want them gone, and this last episode is exactly why, Spencer said it perfectly. That plus they were only cast because they "look good" (though I don't really agree with that but whatevs) and I wish they would just take more applicants. Like me. Braun, whatever. No real strong feelings, though I like the cops so far. That bald cop buy whose name I can't remember right now seems to be playing pretty well and as much as they're showing him I assume he'll go far. I'm interested to see what he'll do.
I'm loving this season, though not because there is a character I'm really rooting for, but rather because they are all fairly entertaining. LJ is probably the closest to the person I am rooting for right now, just because he seems the most competent.
I find Tony (the bald cop) highly entertaining, but I disagree strongly that he is playing "pretty well." I think he was clearly overplaying. His "feed lies to the other cop" plan was really stupid and could have blown up his whole tribe for no reason. And I'm pretty skeptical that ousting Cliff was a good move. For one thing, no mater how much you distrust him, keeping brawn people in the game for the eventual merge has to still be te best approach. For another, concerns about being like a physical threat were absurd. Yeah, he's going to win basketball related challenges, but there's no way that will constitute a high percentage of remaining challenges. And we know there are exactly two physical types of players that become dominating challenge streak threats: The generally strong, stocky older man (think Terry or Tom Westman), and the lanky runner man (Erik, Fabio, Ozzy). I think Woo is far more likely to be a later challenge threat than Cliff, although it's too early to be thinking like this anyway.
It was kind of hilarious how dumb the beauty people were, wanting to spill everything in five seconds. I don't really like Spencer all that much, but I was sort of happy for him and Cass and that other girl.
