So Carrie is safe then?

The following survived the first phase without a single nomination

Yes

blurry what happens with the other final pass since we are in top 54 now?

ah nommed max

The Round 6 listings and the OP title need to change as well

ERM sweaty I tried to save & replace Lightning last round but you said I couldn't bc I'd already saved someone else :oh:

oop that’s true

messy

Everyone’s confusing me :bawling:

Carrie isn’t safe then??

Ah had to change it to 34 like two rounds in KEEP UP

oh really:joker: sorry

btw who’s gonna run the big brother one of this?

Ant cut Zoey

If you mean UK, it already happened a year and a half ago

So it's still Carrie vs Devin then?

We want another one! (So I can take part :smug:)

I’m constantly looking through it as I watch old series. All I’ll say is, bloody Marc :fist:

I’d make it myself but there’s this one going on just now, and also the fear of making it only for nobody else to want to do it is too much :worry:

Ugh ffs I'm so confused :bawling:

Ants just sent his Zoey writeup

Well is what I'll do the is say Epic used save and replace on Josee.

I was going to reset Save and replaces after this round anyway so it just fits in right

Zoey

I won't lie, I've warmed to Zoey recently, but she certainly doesn't deserve to go any further than this, in my opinion.
I'll start with why I like Zoey. Her interactions with everyone bar M*chael were cute. I'm not too fond of the Cameron friendship, but Gwen and Zoey were a cute friendship, and we got to see Zoey be a good friend, calming Gwen out of a panic attack. I also liked her chats with Duncan, it wasn't much and it centred mostly around M*chael but I think there was something there they could've utilised with how good and 'sweet' Zoey is and how Duncan is struggling with the fact he's perceived as nice. Just an idea.

But besides that? There's not much to like about her, in my opinion. And I won't lie, a lot of her problems stem from M*chael.

Before I detail M*chael, I'll start with a detail I noticed - Zoey says she "loves" 'oddballs' when Michael tells Zoey about his disorder. What's wrong with that? The fact she calls Dawn, who is a bit out of the ordinary yes, 'creepy', and also turns away Dakota's friendship because it's 'hazardous' to her health (and while I can understand what she meant with how hard Dakota hugged her, it's a tad ridiculous she couldn't have just spoke to Dakota and said "be careful when hugging me" instead of getting rid of one of the only friends she had in her life).

I don't want to detail much about her interactions with M*chael so I'll try and keep this light:
She felt entitled to him and for what reason? Yeah Mike showed some level of interest but no commitment, and got offended when Vito and Anne Maria made out. Is she allowed to be hurt? Absolutely, but the fact she told Anne Maria to 'lay off' him is a bit weird because Zoey and Mike weren't even dating.

Her character became heavily based around him. In fact, she became 'commando Zoey' in response to his 'necklace' breaking. How did she gain such athletic ability out of anger? I have no idea, but it's bull****. She suddenly had all this strength and skill and it carried through to All-Stars. It made no sense to me and felt like a lazy way to develop her.

Because in my opinion, she had little to no development. Ironically, I think I prefer her All-Stars appearance because she had a good friendship with Gwen and we got to see how okay she was without Mike. But then I also despise her appearance because of M*chael.

Duncan warned her of Mal. Izzy questioned who Mal was and Zoey heard, without Izzy being told about him. Alejandro called 'Mike' Mal. And did she listen to them? No, not until the penultimate episode when she found a video hidden by Alejandro of Mal's actions. Why did Zoey not truly listen and follow up on the words of three people who had never spoken to each other about 'Mal' yet all knew him? I will never know, but it made her unlikeable to me. She just came off as stupid.

Let's not forget how she risked her life to try and get 'Mike' to help her. Or how her first word in All-Stars was "Mike". Her character was too heavily based around M*chael, and in my opinion, a character isn't good if their story and personality depends too much on one person, and it doesn't help that I'm not a fan of M*chael.

It's a shame Zoey didn't live up to her stereotype. She could've been a cool, lonely, indie chick who was trying to find her feet and place in a relatively large group of people, feeling out of place while also trying to make friends. Maybe she could've been annoying, getting really excited talking about a local band she loves to a love interest, and said love interest validates her interests and takes an interest in her. Maybe Zoey could've realised she already was a great friend (see: calming Gwen after her anxiety attack) and didn't need to change, and she was fine with how quirky she was. I wouldn't have minded if it was obnoxious, in fact, I'd prefer it if it was. I'd rather Zoey have been annoying on her own merit than annoying because of her association with M*chael.

So yeah, I found Zoey was inconsistent in abilities, personality, and interactions. Outside of M*chael, she was nice! She was a good friend. But sadly an episode or two of her being friends with Gwen and chatting with Duncan cannot atone for how unbearable I found her for 2 seasons straight.

That Zoey sounds like BB19 Zoe

Nothing alike

59. Tammy
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20170202184239

I think the LARPers got way too much hate! Back in summer of 2015 when RR's pilot leaked, we were already confirmed that Owen, Noah and Geoff would return, and people were excited to see who else would come back. And to everyone's shock, rather than wrapping up the storylines of dozens of characters, they brought back Leonard :joker::joker::joker: x100. But with him was Tammy, and I thought they were hilarious together in the short time they were around, and really underappreciated for being essential human shields to be out first to let the other 17 teams develop into stronger personalities. For once, there was elimination fodders that were over the top enough to still leave a minor impact. Since this is Tammy, even though she didn't speak much, she had several funny small moments to complement Leonard; responding to being out first with 'TIME! REVERSAL SPELL!' or obsessing over violently flinging confetti at the Goths, Adversity Twins and even her own partner are examples :laugh: .

But the team is still not meant to be that impressive to watch, and why I think this is the right time Tammy goes.

And as a side note, anyone notice how rude Don was to them? He started lecturing them on how to race properly after they had already lost, and it's a general problem with him where he has favoritism of teams. The cruel way he spoke about the Vegans and the numerous insults he hurled at the Ice Dancers are just a few examples. People always call Chris biased, but Don's no angel! Anyway Don rant over because I didn't really have much to say on Tammy.

Y'all stop getting banned huh

rileys brody writeup
Brody

Brody was.. nice. He was harmless yet super irrelevant, and completely unmemorable, which is why it's strange to think he actually WON Ridonculous Race. He was partnered with Geoff, who I'm not the biggest fan of, but I was surprised with how much I liked Brody (which still wasn't a lot but still.) He wouldn't be my choice to cut here, but considering Mont's tragic noms, he has to go. Bye.

Can people stop saying the Surfer Dudes won RR? They didn't

This is why RileyH is banned

Leonard
It hurt to cut Leonard this early, because Leonard is the perfect example of comic relief done right. He didn't last long in either series he was in, he provided laughs an entertainment in all of his episodes, and idk he was just a good character. Unusual too, he had his unique elements like the wizard costume and the LARPing. He was harmless really.

wait don’t reset our save and replaces some haven’t used yet

Yeah you'll just get an extra one

Just need Slay to write for Mickey, and Mont to write for Tyler, and then my next nominations are in

sorry my write ups are so scabby so far there’s just not much to say yet in the characters I cut so far

ok my write up for Mickey - I can’t really differentiate mickey from jay to be honest and I just found the whole everything going wrong thing to be a predictable gag, like in each episode you knew something would go wrong so I can’t write much about a character which I didn’t really find interesting, sorry :shrug:

mont do a tyler write up challenge

you should do it, you’d get lots of interest

60 - Tyler (Island, World Tour)

https://i.imgur.com/SZiRv8U.png

Tyler's pretty funny and I actually don't mind him but he's just never been a strong character. He's really only known for being our Lindsay's boyfriend, and even though they were cute, their relationship lacks substance. I kind of that thought when he'd be bought back for World Tour the writers would've done SOMETHING with him as he's not incapable of having a personality but he was literally just the same as in Island (with just more funny moments since he lasted longer). A lukewarm character!

He made me SCREAM during the dodgeball challenge!

bye i didn't even think my noms were that bad :skull:

Carrie, Devin, Mickey, Miles, Tammy, Leonard, & Brody are all EASY cuts

sorry miles exists:love:

I can maybe see why you picked the last 5, but Carrie and Devin were huge contributors to making RR stand out as much as it did, and went way beyond the typical will they/won't they couple they were expected to be imo

that maybe true but i still found them dull and tedious to watch

probably more of a personal opinion since i get bored of romances super quickly

Time for ma noms :devil:

yaas morgan stir it up :devil:
