Ant's Lightning Writeup
Lightning: I really never know how to feel about Lightning? He's arrogant and self-absorbed, that much is constant, but I feel like he was forced into a villain role. And I think that comes from "Eat, Puke, and Be Wary", when he starts antagonising Cameron for 'stealing' his immunity. Lightning being angry about this would have been in character, but I can't help but feel like his borderline bullying of Cameron was over the top and, dare I say, out of character. It would have maybe been comical for me if it built up a rivalry akin to Jo vs Lightning, with the 'drama' coming from how Cameron is intimidated by competitive environments. Instead, I felt sort of, uncomfortable? Even if Lightning is arrogant and self-absorbed he does look out for others occasionally. ironically an episode previous when he warns Cameron of Jo. Does Lightning benefit from warning Cameron? Not particularly (in a sense, it does prompt Cameron to send Jo down in smoke, but Lightning isn't that smart or strategic - I think he was warning Cameron of Jo because he's nice). Now, perhaps I could excuse Lightning's comments as competitive banter gone too far, but Lightning remarks, "...your whole life's gonna be a mental challenge!" to Cameron which is... extremely threatening. I appreciate it was a fight and they were both being physical, but the aim was to pin them down, not cause such trauma to the brain. It's a line that I feel uneasy about, regardless of how it was said, when it was said, and who by. But, in my opinion, it adds a layer of "Lightning is nasty!" to his character. But that conflicts with how he was earlier - a likeable self-absorbed idiot who, when he wasn't thinking about himself, could look out for others. Which did pair up with some nice one-liners ("I'll save you little girl!" and "uh... Lightning don't judge!" (when he thought Jo was a gay guy). His rivalry with Jo was a bit grating for me, but I also found that it was one of the more interesting conflicts and I would've liked to see a few more episodes of it in All-Stars (in a perfect world with a larger cast and 26 episodes... oh a man could dream). So what I've said is pretty conflicting. I like Lightning, up until episode 11 of ROTI. But after the events of that episode he becomes unbearable. He goes back to being somewhat likeable in All-Stars, but there wasn't much there for him, besides him reigniting a conflict with Jo that never came of much do to him being cut early on in the episode. Seeing Heather/Gwen/Alejandro get annoyed with him in 'Evil Dread' was funny though, I'll give him that. TL;DR? Lightning became unbearable in the later episodes of ROTI that I ended up rooting for Cameron over him. I truly felt like they made a bully out of a likeable jock for no other reason than to quickly establish another villain for the next season (because really, how was Lightning anywhere near a villain in episodes before 4x11?)

Owen

He's fat and eats. That's literally his character. It's a stereotype we've seen before and will most definitely see in the future. There is literally nothing else to him, why he's so popular I will never know. I get that the majority of the cast are supposed to be stereotypes / caricatures, but they have something else to them that helps us root for them. He won TDI by coasting all season, flopped in TDA before being brought back as a ~mole~ (god whoever came up with that deserves a bullet to the head) which flopped anyway because he was ToO nIcE to sabotage. And then TDWT.. hew? I can't remember a single thing he did bar get his fat ass stuck in the windows. Thankfully we didn't have to endure him in AS but that didn't stop him from coming back for RR :rolleyes: Owen & Noah are an atrocious pair, STOP it.

blurreh ah think it’s just you left then we can get t’mont noms

yeah blurreh hurreh up x

wait I think you have to do tyler write up too sksksk

yeah mont shut the **** up

Normally in these games, Owen's always out within the first two rounds so he's done me proud here :clap1:

i really ****ing hate toilet humor so i never enjoyed owen

him making it somewhat far in every season was so annoying

Sam
Ugh. Sam.

Yeah, I mean he's just not a great character. And it's no surprise to me he's been nominated in 3/5 rounds so far, in fact it's more shocking it took this long for him to go. Sam just never really had an arc that was too appealing to me and as a result he just suffered as a character. I mean the whole SamxDakotazoid thing ... tragic. And the fact they picked SAM over LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE for All Stars shm

Can we get to the noms or do we still have to wait for mont's writeup?

I'm gonna post them when I get home

Wait actually I'll quickly get them up now

And mont is still to do a writeup for Tyler

I'm final passing Courtney :fan: But I'll wait to do my cut

I will save Josee!

And I guess I'll cut Tammy?

These noms are so tragic, even more than mine

save miles cut mickey

Tempted to final pass Carrie but can't risk losing Josee

Literally no one there I want to cut :worry:

I'll have to cut Leonard :( But am sad :(

NOT the wizard how dare you

Save Duncan Cut Brody I guess

Wait is it too late to save and replace Josee with someone?

Go ahead I guess

I will replace Josee with Zoey in a last ditch effort to save the Best Friends

How does it work when there's 3 nominees left?

you have to save someone since josee was your save im assuming

Okay then if that's true I want to save Carrie!

Why do y'all hate Zoey so much nn

She's an inconsistent, hypocritical, cliché plot device who's always written as either a helpless damsel in distress or some sort of godlike athlete, both cases being unrealistic and annoying. She also relies on Mike, one of the most malicious and judgmental characters, and in AS she's so gullible to the obvious and believes anything he says even though he's clearly trying to kill her. She's an okay character without him, but considering how often she is around him, she's insufferable, as is their relationship.

That's the short answer anyway

The last person to pick just eliminates 1.

Oh wait yeah

Last time Mont who went last just picked between the last 3, but I guess this works
