Talk:Nice Guys Should Finish Last/@comment-26485526-20190630141046

Absolutely amazing episode, and a spectacularly well-written blindside! I have to say, I despise #CrocodileTears as a duo, especially the fact they were in power. I hate the idea of just being lazy around camp for the sake of being lazy just because you think you are in control. It is just such a smug and arrogant move, and shows the people still in the game that you don't give a shit about them on a human level, on top of the fact they're rubbing the fact they feel like they are in control in people's faces. I have zero sympathy for either of them, and I feel like any of the shit they get thrown their way, especially at this point, is very well deserved.

I sincerely hope that we can start playing this song in the background of each of Diedre's and Rachel's (especially Rachel's) confessionals in the near future, as a sign that some "Bad Kharma" is on the way and they're elimination is imminent (because I don't want to deal with both of their whiny, victim playing asses all the way to the final three. Don't make me sit through that!

As for the blindside itself, I think it was spectacularly written! I was all prepared to talk about how it was obvious someone from the Aapravasi alliance was going because Le Morne's target was specifically mentioned and Aapravasi's was not, to the point of yelling out "FUCK!!" when Kurtis's name came up (I was alone in the house. Nobody besides my cat heard that). So fantastic job there!

As much as I would've hoped for the vote to be turned on someone from #CrocodileTears, I'm definitely okay with Isaiah going home. Overall, to me he didn't have much personality and was a very generic "nice guy" and also brought next to nothing to the table in terms of gameplay. That leaves Elaine-bot and August as the only remaining ones without a real personality in the game, and as two people leave next episode, I can hope at least one of them is part of that.

Regarding Gussy, he hasn't done anything to piss me off lately... aside from becoming extremely fucking boring. I was convinced that Augy was going to be a camera-whore, as well as the inaugural member of a #CrocodileTears alliance after he turned on Kurtis, but that wasn't the case. He's just become actively boring and I just want him gone at this point. As for Elaine, her entire MO this season is to fish for excuses to keep Rachel in the game, and she started that right up again when the two reunited. Look Elaine, if you have a final two with the bigot, just fucking tell us already so we can appropriately hate you as a Boston Rob-esque gamebot (with Rachel being Elaine's Phillip Sheppard) and not just a generic game-bot!

The Kurtis/Winter/Sadie trio had better be in the game for the long haul, especially as it is obvious their entire alliance is doomed to fall apart since they hate each other. I do hope Heather can be pulled into that group at some point though. Heather's and Kurtis' one-on-one conversation was touching and I am so interested to see how Heather's relationship with Kurtis especially evolves. I get that Heather wrote Kurtis' name down, but as the two are in entirely separate alliances at the moment, I'm sure he understands (unlike when a certain August promised him twice he had his back and backstabbed him twice, writing his name down once).

Overall, I'm just excited to see where the season goes from here. Calvin and Deidre are inevitably going to have another fight next episode, which I'm sort of dreading because this means that Deidre is probably going to start overreacting then apologizing, living up to her alliance's name of #CrocodileTears. At least this time, I have the barf bag prepared. Keep up the great work, Matt!
