PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Nah, I don't mean he's like Jon in a more literal strategic sense. I mean, they play Mike for laughs (the scorpion scene) but also play him more serious (his discussion about his faith). And he's also just a little dumb. Reminds me a little of how they showed Jon's dumbness around the Drew vote but still mixed in his dead father stuff into his storyline. Both players are also regularly shown to play a pretty good social game with others and make bonds quickly.
Not the perfect comparison, obviously, but Mike's complex/uneven edit reminds me a little of Jon's. Not too flawed to be a Dumb Player, not too likable to be the Season Mascot, not too smart to be the Mastermind, but given a bunch of screentime.
Comparing Tyler to Josh is more about me seeing him as the possible merge boot. I feel like people didn't like how much the editors shilled Josh last year, just to sweep him away at the merge. He and Jeremy made the overall narrative feel weird and disjointed. I feel like Tyler could be getting the Mini-Boss Edit, but they're pumping the brakes a little this year.
