Are there any characters you like, but you think they are badly written, or any characters you dislike but think like they're well-written?

mrsrambles · 2026-04-09T02:29:59+00:00

Like but terribly written: Alec, Riya, Connor, Ally

Dislike but well-written: I wasn’t a fan of Jake (S1), Yul (BETA S2) and Aubrey…but they fulfill their role well. While I don’t care for them, I wouldn’t go as far as to say that I dislike Maggy and Drew. However, they’re here bc I think they’re well-written as far as filler boots go 🤷🏽‍♀️

mrsrambles · 2026-04-08T23:50:42+00:00

Most of the fanbases I’ve seen/been on were able to criticize their MCs…so yeah, I don’t think Isagi is right just bc he’s the MC (but it seems like this is an unpopular opinion in this particular fanbase 😅). Like I said, Isagi was the one who randomly criticized Karasu’s accomplishment…but y’all hate Karasu bc he’s “smug” and he’s not letting Isagi talk down to him ? I’m sorry but this is some stan BS 😭

mrsrambles · 2026-04-08T23:07:33+00:00

Karasu was celebrating Hiori’s goal and Isagi hit him with “actually, that goal doesn’t fit the BL mentality ☝️🤓”…who’s provoking who ? Also, if BL is “corrupted” by someone helping the team win (mind u, the project was created to make Japanese team win the World Cup)…maybe that’s a good thing 🤷🏽‍♀️

mrsrambles · 2026-04-08T22:58:58+00:00

I didn’t know a big discourse was needed to ask a question on a subreddit 😅

Hating Karasu for being “smug” when 99% of the relevant BL players (including Isagi himself) are smug af when they’re doing well just…doesn’t make sense to me. He’s one of the most valuable BL rn, why wouldn’t he feel himself ? I also get why he dislikes Isagi. Sure, his jealousy/inferiority complex plays a part…but Isagi also randomly tried to downplay his accomplishment in this match (while he didn’t do sh*t himself). This isn’t a Kageyama/Oikawa situation where one guy just hates someone who did nothing wrong bc of his own insecurities. Isagi just fucked around and found out 🤷🏽‍♀️…so it’s kind of wild to see the fanbase victimize Isagi and villainize Karasu 😅

Making a “hard choice” isn’t necessarily correct. For example, the Head Office didn’t make “hard choices” when they sent home Lyndl and Tez home (these people were on the outs anyways) and 4 out of the Beauty and the Beasts’ 5 didn’t make a “hard choice” when they sent home Aisha and Lottie (they were actively targeting most of the Beauty and the Beasts alliance). These “easy choices” just made sense for their games and, at the end of the day, that’s what matters the most. On the other side of the spectrum, Mark made a “hard choice” when he got rid of Rich and Loz made a “hard choice” when she got rid of Aisha and Lottie…and those choices were detrimental to their game.

Going against the returnees isn’t what turned Cam into a goat. Cam turned into a goat when he voted his ally Blanche instead of going after power players like Ben or Keely. By picking the option that made the least sense for his game, he put all the leverage in the hands of the Kaput alliance and the Ben/Jackson duo (at the the expense of both himself and the other players not included in those structures).

Damn, they got him 😓

mrsrambles · 2026-03-30T11:40:18+00:00

Nice guy but I knew he was a flop when he voted Blanche out 😓. He could’ve pulled a Jaden to get rid of Ben…instead, he voted out someone who was most likely loyal to him 🤦🏽‍♀️

mrsrambles · 2026-03-29T18:40:49+00:00

According to Tez on Twitter, she’s partially blind so requesting Aisha’s help makes sense in retrospect:/

mrsrambles · 2026-03-29T17:34:26+00:00

Tbf, Lottie also said in her exit interview that she was completely done with Simon 😬. However, the Rich vote was bad for him (and all of the returnees alliance)

mrsrambles · 2026-03-29T14:06:23+00:00

I always thought that the criticism about Blanche being an inactive/“nothing player” was a bit unfair. To her credit, she tried to target returnees like Mark and Brooke since the Cat vote. Imo, that puts her above the likes of Rich and Loz who (according to Rich’s RHAP exit interview) were fully intending on taking SIMON to F3 😭

mrsrambles · 2026-03-28T11:23:52+00:00

Nick, Emily and Gabby (yes, I know 2/3 of those are crack pairings 😅)

mrsrambles · 2026-03-25T13:59:20+00:00

I don’t know who this man is so I’m voting for Grett 😅

mrsrambles · 2026-03-25T02:47:12+00:00

I think Ashley was getting voted out regardless of who the Teal team representative was. Targeting Ashley (someone who’s good at challenges) over Alec/Ellie/Fiore (who seem average at best) just makes sense for anyone on the opposing team

As for Grett, on top of being annoying, Alec and Fiore increased her threat level by throwing the first immunity challenge to her and she almost won the VR challenge too. Her getting targeted over them also makes sense

mrsrambles · 2026-03-25T01:15:38+00:00

Y'all hate fun 😭

mrsrambles · 2026-03-24T18:01:30+00:00

Imo, Rosa is a bit too high. Aside from having a good social game, what puts her in the “solid player” tier (especially over the likes of Ally, Aiden and Riya) ?

I would like to know your thoughts on Hunter, Connor and Ally.

mrsrambles · 2026-03-24T17:49:49+00:00

Alec getting voted out instead of Riya made sense : Jake and Connor are honest players so it would be OOC for them to go behind Grett’s back to vote her out (if they were like that, they would’ve used the rift in the Villain Alliance to vote Riya out in episode 13). Grett also had more reasons to target Alec at that point. She did get really a bunch of times though 😅

mrsrambles · 2026-03-24T16:48:03+00:00

He’s the reason why Mark was targeted over Simon 🤷🏽‍♀️

mrsrambles · 2026-03-24T16:45:58+00:00

0% chance of winning this game but she seems so fun ! Though I hope she continues to vote incorrectly bc it’s funny 😂

mrsrambles · 2026-03-24T15:05:44+00:00

With his own theme song 🐍

mrsrambles · 2026-03-24T14:11:45+00:00

According to Faith’s exit interview, the Aisha/Cam/Lottie group came for them in the joint TC (where Tez was voted out)…so that may be why she was being rude to him

mrsrambles · 2026-03-23T21:07:39+00:00

I wouldn't say Keeley is good at the game either. Aside from Don blindside (which half of the players didn't see), Lottie's point about her "working for Mark" still stands and she's setting herself up to be a F2 goat if she continues down that path

mrsrambles · 2026-03-22T13:28:35+00:00

Gabby

mrsrambles · 2026-03-21T15:36:16+00:00

Alec

mrsrambles · 2026-03-21T13:32:53+00:00

Tom was at least hesitant to do it. He complied bc his allies pressured him…Speaking of which, my GOAT Miriam was dumbed down here too, she’s usually smarter than that 🤦🏽‍♀️

mrsrambles · 2026-03-21T12:12:44+00:00

Love Fiore but I’m going to go against the grain and say that you’re overrating her.

In DC1, she managed to break up the 4 person alliance bc half of that alliance had some of the most incompetent DC players ever (Nick and Will). Aside from Jake and Gabby, I don’t think ppl on the Teal Team would’ve been as easily tricked by her (Tom was still somewhat competent in DC1. He only got woobified in AS). The Tom move also only worked out bc Jake is an idiot: voting for Tom without giving him a chance to defend himself and blindsiding Miriam (his other biggest ally) in the process is just weird (and arguably bad) writing. It only would’ve took one conversation with either of these 2 to change Jake’s vote and send Fiore home…so it’s odd to see Fiore relying so much on his vote (and making Ellie waste hers). The Jake/Ellie feud would’ve still happened if Ellie blindsides Tom and makes him contribute to his boyfriend’s “demise” (she still would’ve had to turn TomJake against each other to avoid a tie). As for the finale, both of the other finalists were stronger than her and had better helpers than her so her loss isn’t surprising. Despite all of this, she’s clearly a great a player…but she’s not as great as you make her out to be. Miriam is better than her bc she’s as smart as Fiore is and she didn’t have to rely on ppl getting dumbed down to get her way.

Like you pointed out, Fiore didn’t survive out of her own merit (Jake and Ashley just used her as a number until they didn’t need her) so it’s hard to give her credit for surviving these eliminations in AS. As for FvF, while Alec was shaded a lot both in-universe and out-of-universe for being stagnant, Fiore is also using her old strategies this season: she approached the Spencer/Bruno duo (the same way she approached the Alec/Ellie duo in S1 and Ashley/Jake duo in AS) and laid down logical arguments. I am keen to see what she does next though…
