I feel like Joseph is really misunderstood, and that's a shame. When he mentioned that he anticipated that Brandon was gay, I expected the worst to come out of his mouth in that confessional, but it was the total opposite. He simply just doesn't know people from the LGBT community and he wants to understand people, it's just that the way he says things to people comes out wrong because he doesn't seem to understand social cues that much.

On the flip side though, Brandon is the one that's getting on my nerves because it seems like he's the judgmental one. All Joseph said was that back home he never ate a meal without praying, and then he asked the tribe if it would be okay. I read that scene over about 3-4 times, and I don't think Joseph did anything wrong there because he made sure the tribe was okay with the prayer. If Brandon was so upset by this, he should have said something! So, Brandon saying that Joseph's "enforcing religion on him" couldn't be further from the truth.

I'm trying not to judge people too harshly as of yet because it's only the first episode, and to be honest, I was looking forward to reading Brandon in this season because I remember liking him in your original Bora Bora (although I know that season is irrelevant now.)

As for Earhart, I'm absolutely loving Carole, Morgan, Matt, and Olay off the bat! I love how Carole finally came unglued and snapped at Allen, and I think that if she lasts, she'll be a very entertaining character as the season goes on. I love that Morgan is a huge fan and she seems like she's very self aware and will become a great strategist, so I have high hopes for her. I also like Matt's attitude, and I love how this guy that has "twigs for arms" was able to make fire when the Scout Leader couldn't. As for Olay, I love how she's integrating herself with the tribe, I love her determination, and I think that she will be another great character as the season goes on.

Allen can die in a hole for all I care at this point. Although I am trying to remain open minded for now since it is the first episode, the only thing he's done up until this point is piss me off.

Fantastic episode so far, Waffle! Can't wait to see how the rest of it plays out!
