JoAnne: “Kyle is so worried about not being liked. The kid has formed alliances with everyone. He tried to form an alliance with Craig and I tonight, despite the fact that he hates us both.

Honestly, the more I read into Kyle's character, the more interesting he becomes, and I'm starting to think that he may actually be one of the more compelling people this season.

JoAnne made an interesting point about Kyle - that he is so worried about not being liked. That took me back to when he didn't receive a letter from his girlfriend and he said she was "hoe-ing it up" or something like that. I can't remember the exact words he used, but if I am remembering correctly, he tried to brush off the situation and act like it didn't bother him.

This leads me to believe that JoAnne hit the nail on the head and it makes me wonder where Kyle's self-esteem really is and how deeply the fact Andy treats him like utter garbage is affecting him deep down. To me, Kyle comes off like he might be someone that feels more hurt by this than he is letting on, even in confessionals, out of fear that he will be seen as weak or that people will think less of him. On the surface, he appears like just another young, athletic guy, but if he is having this internal battle and if he is yearning for acceptance so bad, it makes me feel for him because I can empathize with feeling the need to bottle up your emotions and act like everything is okay when it isn't.

I don't know if you meant to go that deep, but I am suddenly so interested in his character and I hope to see him truly blossom. I know he's a target for being untrustworthy right now, but I hope he can overcome that go deep in the game so I can see how he develops overtime. :)
