I got a new entry, and man, I am going to receive a lot of backlash on this one xD



Kendra Valentine - Survivor: Grenada- Temptations

Well, first off, I will admit that I personally didn't like her, so that definitely waved over my judgement a bit, but at the beginning of the season, she was at the near bottom of my personal rankings, and while as time goes by, she is slowly redeeming up my rankings, I just don't get how is she well liked.

I mean, I loved quite some stuff she did, with that turnaround on Jensen, recently lying with Stanley and stuff like that, but still, I would admit I HATED her at the first four episodes when she is just being a emotional crybaby when

1. she started crying when things didn't go her way

2. stating she will kill herself when people are trying to turn against her (yes, as a friend's perspective, it is pretty concerning, and in real like, I won't hate someone for that, but as a reader to survivor, it just rubbed me the wrong way MASSIVELY. To me, it is like she is using that to threaten the others to do what she wants, and yes, I KNOW she doesn't have any intentions of doing that, but as a reader in a game like this, it sounds like threatening to me) and finally

3. being a massive dictator when she was mad at Mackenzie and yelling her like she is the worst person alive  (while this is still fine, as she is kinda emotional and places trust on her friends), then she went as far as removing the right of the entire tribe to TALK to Mackenzie. Seriously, who does she think she is? While I understand that she is mad, the fact she goes as far as being a dictator and thinks she can control what others do is just beyond me, and I was rooting so hard for Mackenzie to overthrow her in that episode, and I literally smashed my phone seeing Topher being just - ah well.

As I said, Kendra is nowhere near people I hate, as she does have redeeming qualities, as she actually knows how to play, what to do, how to talk, and she eventually did accept people will hurt her, and she did got over her emotions at lots of points over the game, so that prevents her from sliding to the bottom tier of my rankings, but the fact that how people would consider a person like that a favorite is mind blwing to me.

(This is 1 am for me, and I am going to sleep after I post this, but let's see how much backlash I would receive from this xD)
