Talk:No Fishing Spears Were Harmed/@comment-38115759-20191206233114

I've said a few of these thoughts to Tangle, but I want to share them with the community as well.

Suyai wasn't just targeting Alissa over a card game, it's more than that. We have all been there where you get a feeling about someone be it falling in love, to "I don't like this person" or in the case of Suyai and Alissa "I don't trust this person". Little things build up and 99% of the time it's one tiny action that can confirm your belief.

That being said, I could never warm to Suyai, I don't know what it was about her, but there was something about her that always put me off. So I'm not too sad that she's gone, even if she was in the right there.

Alissa has been dragged through the mud in the comments below and rightfully so, she's fairly condescending and two-faced, but I think it's better for the season as a whole that she lived here. I would love to see her play into it, starting as a "I'm not so bad, my actions were misunderstood" villain to a "If you want me to be the bad guy, I'll be the bad guy" villain. It's one of my favourite writing tropes and I think Alissa is begging to go down that road, but time will tell.

Jeonsa were the more interesting and engaging tribe this episode, which is a nice change of pace. Hwanjie is awesome, but there are a lot of interesting and enjoyable characters on Jeonsa too, so it was great for them to have a chance to shine this episode.

Forrest is by far the most disappointing castaway this season. He started out as one of my favourites in the pre-game and he has craktd so early out here that he's just not fun to follow. It's a shame, but he is the one weak point in an otherwise amazing cast. Even people I thought I wouldn't like in the cast profiles like Giacomo, Mercedes and Cristain are wonderful to read and I'm enjoying almost everyone's story so far.

The biggest surprise is Valentina, not that she's playing well but that no-one is talking about her? For a community that usually gives a lot of love to the older females (even when it's not really deserved) I'm shook that no-one has taken too much of an interest in Valentina. She was a driving force in that vote and has ties to almost everyone on the tribe, homegirl is probably playing the best game of anyone (except maybe Cristian) at the moment.

This is an amazing season Tangle, I know I've said that a dozen times, but you deserve a lot of praise for this cast. Really excited to see where the rest of the season goes and I hope we can prolong the Cristian vs Ophelia drama for as long as possible so they can both stay :P
