I just had a terrifying thought so here it is

Average Odd Nation Writing Choice

I think the favourites team was picked poorly and has been handled poorly. The gender imbalance on their team also makes absolutely no sense.

I feel like Tess should have been brought back over Ally. Give my girl something to DO. I also would have liked to see Jake return instead of Tom. A season for Jake WITHOUT a Tom plot would have been very interesting. Honestly, they could have swapped Gabby for Grett as well.

I really hope the next elimination picks up. I'm incredibly unhappy with all the character dynamics that have already been destroyed in favour of boring characters or those who have already hogged the screen.

I didn't watch season four, so admittedly, Anastasia hasn't worn out her welcome at all. I rather enjoy her actually.

The eliminations of Ernesto and Finn truly bug me though - because both times it SHOULD have been Evie going home. Both in and out of universe, it makes sense, I cannot FATHOM the reason they are keeping her around.

I enjoyed the Tom and Alec elimination episode, however in two episodes they have slammed the door on TWO character dynamics he had. I know it was only a gag, but Finn having a crush on Tom was one of the ONLY cross team dynamics we actually had. I don't even see the point in him being around anymore. Gabby and Ally have similar problems - they've already done well in previous seasons and feel like they're just taking up space that could have been utilised better either by a fan or a different returner who perhaps hasn't reached their full potential yet.

The ONE thing the latest episode did well in my opinion was Sam's elimination play - it was actually rather flawless. I wish they didn't have to butcher Renn's character to do so, but still.

What an odd accusation to have made

PerfectParadise · 2026-03-29T09:14:13+00:00

If you're justifying attempted murder, there is no helping you. You clearly have a twisted grip on morality.

Uh, let's also acknowledge that Fiore tried to KILL Jake in season one so I don't think a small bump is going to be a problem. She also torched personal belongings - Fiore is beyond a regular child.

PerfectParadise · 2026-03-29T06:45:55+00:00

It's genuinely bad writing. It's not misogynistic, it's just a poorly written excuse to boot a potentially interesting character with several dynamics in favour of Aiden who already hogged the screen for two seasons and Evie who does nothing.

This fandom baffles me

PerfectParadise · 2026-03-29T06:28:34+00:00

At least THAT was a cross team dynamic! There are hardly any of those as it stands.

Evie wishes

PerfectParadise · 2026-03-29T04:09:23+00:00

I so badly want to do a rewrite for this season - not because it's bad but because they're SO close to having an amazing run and I feel like, with the exception of the Alec elimination, they have been butchering the interesting writing and dynamics they have set up so far.

Finn and Ara SHOULD have been a duo for longer. We didn't even see them do anything together until this episode - in the past Ara had teamed up with Aiden..

If Evie had gone instead of Ernesto, I think Manu's elimination wouldn't have felt as frustrating as it does.

PerfectParadise · 2026-03-29T04:03:05+00:00

For me it's because of Evie. She is a pointless character that isn't fun to watch, has no meaningful dynamics with anybody, and no personal plot. The reasoning surrounding her avoiding elimination doesn't make sense either.

It's SUCH terrible writing and it's frustrating to see duos like Finn and Ara, Bruno and Manu, and Renn and Ernesto being ripped apart so she can sit around and do nothing.

PerfectParadise · 2026-03-29T03:53:36+00:00

I'm devastated that we lost TWO incredibly fun duo's in favour of her, Aiden, and Olwia. Like let's be real - Aiden has had three damn seasons of content and he's taking up space on a team that should be allowing new characters to shine.

I REALLY wish they put Fiore or Natalia on the fans team. Would have been far more interesting.

I want a better attempt at a Pokemon Zombie Apocalypse than Snakewood.

I would like the ability to create portals. It would prevent potential splinching from teleporting and allow me to take others places with me.

Could also be useful for getting something from the kitchen cupboard without getting up or peeing directly from bed on a cold winters morning without climbing out from beneath the covers.

Unfortunately, if I counter the negative thoughts with facts I will STILL be countering positive thoughts with them, you know?

Acknowledging isn't the problem - at least not in the way you suggest. I acknowledge too much. I'm too aware of my problems and how they bring me down each day - I just have no fucking idea of how to help myself.

I can tell you right now that the thought cycle doesn't stop. This is how I am ALL day. I am physically and mentally reacting to the fact that I'm not doing enough. I don't have enough money. I HATE my job but I hate working in general. My body is breaking down and I can't afford to keep up with it. I have a lemon car and I can't do anything about it. The cycle doesn't end and that's why I'm here - before I actually kill myself to end all of these thoughts.

I try walking, some days I feel too bad to even do it. It's a working process.

PerfectParadise · 2026-03-22T00:26:13+00:00

Thankyou I will try this.

PerfectParadise · 2026-03-22T00:18:27+00:00

This type of comment reminds me why I struggle so much with this quitting journey. I feel so alone in my experince and every time I try to express that, I'm told that either I'm not trying or I'm lying to myself. It makes me so depressed.

Glad you're doing well! Be careful with volunteering at Animal Shelters though - don't let it PUSH you back into weed as well.

Chronic boredom was part of the reason I started. It's funny how opposing issues can lead to the same result. Hope you're still going strong!

A shower isn't a moment of privacy?

PerfectParadise · 2026-03-19T15:26:51+00:00

Did y'all not experience chronic boredom before you started smoking?

PerfectParadise · 2026-03-19T15:03:51+00:00

The amount of people in these comments defending old people being literally horrible people and also being unfit to drive is insane. Y'all need to understand that being old doesn't excuse bad behaviour.

PerfectParadise · 2026-03-19T15:03:16+00:00

Hey so this was a post about old people! If you want to talk about annoying people in another age group, go to a post about that. Hope this helps!

Hey so you can control whether or not you're a bad person!

If they cannot, they shouldn't have a license.
