mhmm that's what I love about Christy. Like, on the surface she's so easy to love because she's the outcast deaf with with an OTT positive edit. That's exactly why I loved her when I was like 11 or however old when the season aired. Then when I went back and watched this year and saw The True Christy in spite of her edit, it just made me love her even more

it's the same thing with Shii Ann, where on the surface it's so easy to love her because she was isolated on her tribe, but then when you watch with a more astute eye you realize that she's ****ing grating and is all bark no bite and it just makes me love her even more. Her insistence that she's a huge threat in puzzles despite never finishing one, proudly announcing that "when you mess with the Shii Devil, you get the horns" right before bursting into tears after being yelled at by Robb, it just all works for me.
Your PI faves are all spot on

Andrew Savage ****ing blows and I hate that the male returnee list was just that dreadful that I voted for him (mainly for the DILF factor.) It will be interesting to see if he's matured at all and is willing to give anyone the time of day who isn't pretty or seemingly athletic (I say seemingly because lol at Osten actually being athletic out there.)
Footnote: I listened to Christy's Survivor Oz interview recently and she said that she wants to play again!!! Make it happen CBS #iminthedriversseat #evilstepsisters
