(also I still dont understand his beef with Cameron?? Like wow he accidentally took your invincibility but you didn't go so why spend the next two episodes the way u did Lightning??)

Also surely Lightning would've been the best target for Cameron and Zoey to eliminate when Scott was eliminated?? Scott wasn't going to heal drastically, or at all, by the time of the next challenge, so the next challenge would've been pretty much impossible for Scott and Zoey and Cameron would've won essentially by default

The answer is that RoTI Scott is pure human trash and living with him sounds even worse. Sometimes spite is better than strategy

Scott is literally the only character that I liked more in AS

Then again he was ****ing awful in ROTI and not even that good a villain

He's like the only example of a character that got derailed good....

ROTI Scott was manipulative and blackmailed Mike and was just an awful person (yet still better than Mike).

TDAS Scott was hilarious, sympathetic, and somewhat nice? (I can't name one malicious thing he did)
It was awful to see Chris and Cameron use his phobia of sharks against him (and arguably Lightning and Duncan). It was really insensitive, especially after what Scott went through

To be honest, I respect the gameplaying he went with. Did it make no sense? No, but I see why he did it. His team had a genius in B, an animal whisperer/aura reader (When a lot of the wildlife are hostile this is VERY useful, apparent in 'Ice Ice Baby', and being able to read people is very useful), athletes Brick, Jo, and Lightning (welp at essentially a third of the second generation cast being jocks </3 Zoey's worst nightmare) and chatty Staci (aint a threat but I would throw 101 challenges to have the chance to eliminate her). Oh and Dakota was there too. And Sam.
All of these would be extreme targets when it's each for their own at the merge, and the other team weren't that threatening (Cameron's brain was a major threat yes, and Zoey suddenly became a powerhouse but that was during Scott's elimination episode, but besides that the Maggots were pretty generic and didn't have a unique skillset that would really threaten Scott) so by winning challenges, there's gonna be less generic people in the merge, and more people with strengths that give themselves a major advantage (/Courtney) over Scott.

Now how is this flawed?? Well, in pretty much every way lmao. He risks elimination each time he throws a challenge. It became clear as to why he stopped throwing challenges in TDAS (ESPECIALLY when his team was clearly superior in strength. The heroes only had Sierra and Zoey once Courtney swapped and for some reason Sierra and Zoey's strength only came into play sometimes)

When discussing the teams, I just remembered the very odd team swaps of TDROTI. Brick joined the Rats, Scott and Jo swapped, Dakota ended up joining the Maggots... in the space of like, eight episodes welp.

also Scourtney is one of the best showmances the show has ever had

Ant where is my Rodney writeup

Rodney.

An analogy I just thought of Rodney to be is what I would have expected Chad Johnson to be in CBB20 - womanising showmancer. Luckily, Chad was way more complex than this, but Rodney wasn't.
Rodney gushed over every woman of his team (besides Sammy, which was probably done to emphasise the idea that Amy is the 'prettier' twin but like... coolio) and honestly? That's all he did.

TDPI is a great season imo, however too many characters rely on gags (Leonard, Beardo, Ella, Shawn, Max, for example) and sadly, he didn't develop his own story or character outside of the showmances (Shawn's relationship with Jasmine and him facing his fear of Zombies and Max's gag playing well with Scarlett AND his dynamic with Scarlett AND his babysitting abilities are examples of what he could've been) to make him more enjoyable, but nope, he's just a boring whose screentime consists of crushing on girls and girls only.

Luckily, he was eliminated 4th, and while Leonard would've been a better 4th placer than Rodney (IMO Leonard's gag was just overall more interesting and bearable) he didn't go over anyone too interesting (besides maybe Amy, but I fail to see how else her elimination could've placed her)

To sum up, there's not much to be said about Rodney. A character who didn't exactly overstay his welcome in terms of how long he was in the season and who preceeded him, but overstayed his welcome by three episodes due to how unbearable and boring his crushes got.

No I compared Rodney to what I expected Chad to be like but I fell in love with Chad and believe him to be the 2nd/3rd best housemate of CBB20! (Behind Sarah and Karthik)
I was expecting Chad to be someone who fell in love with women every other day based on his comments in the DR on the first night and his crushes on Amelia and attempts to flirt with Brandi but I was thankfully wrong! Chad deserved 3rd at least

You're forgetting I'm still on train Charah despite their breakup

i need to stop being so late buttttt

Save Taylor : Okay Taylor is one of those characters that I don't have a big reason for liking. I mainly like Taylor because I usually like "the teenage girl" archetype I found her quite funny even though she was a bit much sometimes. Even though I liked her, i felt like her character was a bit one-note and her elimination was timed nicely. The cartoonish ending of the storyline with her mother fit her exaggerated archetype and I quite liked it.

Cut Lightning : I actually like Lightning and I low key wanted him to win over Cameron in the ROTI Finale BUT I feel like his character was a disappointment. I felt like he was not consistent, as in ROTI, he was a floater, (although justified bc he's athletic) comic relief character with a sudden hatred for Cameron near the end for a ridiculous reason. I thought he was pretty entertaining but he did have a few flaws that I've noticed watching through. Sadly I just think its just down to bad character writing, with the "Cam-Lightning" conflict being lazily thrown together to justify his place in the finale. However, I liked him a lot more in AS and like Taylor, his elimination was timed perfectly (and it was his best episode).

OH GOD NO lmao

Chad's one of the best male CBB housemates (or overall CBB housemates? ) and Rodney is one of the worst. Which is ironic, as I liked Rodney's design and thought he would be one of my favourites, but I initially thought I'd despise Chad

One of the noms might be just that because I think they hugely suck and don't deserve their mass following.

I'm fine with them all as characters but i don't get the appeal in them as couples. Courtney and Scott was a weird relationship that didn't really have any chemistry to it and a really weird owner/dog problem. It can be a little cute for a couple to treat one like a pet but not when it's a constant thing. This is more an issue I have with Scott since Courtney was always an abusive monster to men, because they really bitched him up for this.

Sam and Dakota is a nothing relationship. Dakota got eliminated and then was just making all these short appearances with short interactions with Sam and they got together because... she helped him with fashion and he liked her even when she mutated? There was so little development and I just don't care.

I passionately HATE the Are You Tyler joke.
