Wow! Thanks for all the feedback. I hope people don't think I'm ROOTING for Mikey to make it to the end. I was just looking at the match-ups. There's NO WAY the producers will have TWO AJs in the Final Two...it's gotta be an AJ and a himbo. Look who he's up against--cipher Jim (I think that's his name--see what a strong impression he's made?) and fair-haired Gil. Theo told Larissa to watch out for the blondes, and I think she'll heed that advice (even though it came from Theo). She seems to like dark-haired (or no-haired) guys, anyway.
You can't overlook the "bad boy" syndrome when it comes to Mikey. He's a bit of a rogue, but not so much that Larissa probably thinks she can "change" him.
If he sticks his foot in his mouth again with the "mother," he may doom himself. But doesn't it make sense that the producers would throw in some red herrings? Make us think he's screwed himself but have him come back to life again and again, like in a horror movie?
