It's funny that you've started watching during Bananas "good" era, he's been unbearable up until the last year and was pretty much a permanent fixture as a season-ruiner and always lead the charge against any newbies/rookies/women. But the fact that all his followers have either stopped being invited back or no longer value him has made him a somewhat rootable underdog, which I never thought would happen
I still root for his eliminations though as he's such a smug prick!
