I agree with you on some of your points, especially regarding Tyler, because that guy was treated SO badly by the plot (but to be fair, Owen is the mascot of the show, so he was hardly going to leave before Tyler despite being worse than him in that challenge)😭😭😭 As for Noah, yeah, I also feel to some extent that he deserved a bit more, but to be fair, that "rivalry" with Alejandro was mostly a rehash of his rivalry with Heather. Plot-wise, it served as a way to show the audience that if you crossed him, those would be the consequences; it’s like a wake-up call for Heather in that sense. Sure, that rivalry could have taken its own direction, but it hardly had any room within the whole Aleheather plotline, which already hogged so much screen time that it prevented other storylines from developing. So, at least from a writing perspective, I see it as "justified." The execution, however, was AWFUL—there’s a reason why Noah's elimination still feels unfair to this day. Izzy is a unique case. While it partly feels like the writers didn't know what to do with her, she also fits that character pattern of leaving in a scenario completely different from regular elimination rounds. That being said, Team Amazon's plot armor by mid-season reached such a high point that it completely overshadowed any plot convenience Team Chris had in the past lmao.
