Talk:Driving Straight off a Cliff/@comment-27391152-20190117055903

I liked this episode a lot more than the previous one and I'm impressed at how you managed to make a fairly straight-forward vote so chaotic while still having everything make sense to the reader. However, some people are really pissing me off and I think it's time for me have an official Tozztrum

Firstly, omfg Chad is insufferably bad at everything. Like, the entitlement is real when he's acting like anyone who doesn't agree with him is Satan and that Troy is a bad ally for not "backing him up." Sorry that Rebecca going home made no sense to the alliance and was clearly only in your best interest because you have no connection to her ^_^. That being said, it was very cathartic to see his entire game unravel this episode. Literally all of his allies bitching about how terrible he is to work with <3. Troy being so fed up with him that he was almost willing to screw up all his alliance's work just to get him out <3. We stan OTTN downfalls even if I don't particularly like him.

Secondly, yikes Jerome is a condescending twat. Jesus, I thought HARRISON was bad when it came to talking down to Troy, but Jerome somehow manages to be worse because it doesn't come across in such an OTT ridiculous way. Like, okay, I understand him not trusting Troy having learned about his previous double-dealing. HOWEVER, what I do -not- understand are his proclamations that Troy is some evil, cutthroat, untrustworthy person because he went along with his alliance's plan to get Adam out. Unlike, say, Rebecca, Troy clearly had a difficult time going along with plan, mentioning numerous times that he was having difficulty lying to Adam. Did he go through with it? Yes, but only because he thought it was his only way of surviving the round and establishing a solid alliance afterwards. Yet, according to Jerome, Troy clearly didn't feel guilty at all because... if he really felt bad he would've told Adam that Jerome had told him that he was going home. IS JEROME OUT OF HIS MIND? Jerome somehow equates Troy NOT completely throwing Jerome (his only ally) under the bus, which Adam could've easily used as leverage to rat Jerome out to the other Makins btw, to evidence that Troy is UNTRUSTWORTHY??? Since when is doing something against your own best interest for the sake of the alliance considered proof of untrustworthiness.

On top of all his stupidity, he's just soooo condescending in that conversation. Like, the entire concept of pulling someone aside to tell them they're a terrible person for trying to save himself is disgusting as it is, especially since you know full well that someone like Jerome would cut anyone for a million dollars *eyeroll*. Also lines like:

“It's okay, we all make mistakes, and at least you realized that what you did was wrong... right?”

“I want to believe you so badly, I really do.”

“If you don't do this, trust me, I will find out.”

speak for themselves in terms of the condescension. Jerome, you are no the messiah who deems what is right and wrong so stop acting like it please. I really fucking hope Troy finds a way to blindside this douchebag because he really needs some comeuppance.

On a more positive note, I LOVE Kent and Luis' rivalry <3. I honestly do think Luis is just a kind-hearted person who really does feel bad but I totally understand Kent's side of things too and find it hilarious how he thinks Luis is some fake-o. OFC Dottie has to come in and tell Kent to "stop being so childish," like the fun-sucker she is. Good riddance!
