LAST EDITED ON 10-29-12 AT 06:48 PM (EST)Ha! But Mike's dog that didn't bark fits in the story of the veterans:
1- Russell: He tried to play the leader and he flamed out quickly.
2- Penner: He played as the lone wolf and he never quite fit in Kalabaw.
3- Mike: He played the quiet follower while the game was tribal.
The 2nd story arc I see is the "Killing of the Young Ones". Outside of Russell, who was acting like a child anyway, all the losers have been young: Zane, Roxy, Angie, Dawson and Katie were all in their 20s and acted as kids. It really doesn't bode well for Carter, Peter, Abi and even Artis, the "teenage girl". Note that Malcolm and RC, also in their 20s, are portrayed as much more mature. RC's confessionals with her business suit reinforce that impression.
I expect Act 3 to be the Domination of the Elders where Mike will play a major role.
