LAST EDITED ON 10-31-12 AT 10:51 PM (EST)P.S. Crispy, agree with you that the Mike/Lisa connection from Ep 1 must come back. I like that they've hidden that alliance. Plus Lisa is a smart cookie and isn't going to join up with Malcolm/Denise just to be the 3rd wheel.
Also, I like your description above of the "good guys" alliance vs. the bad guys of Abi/Pete/Artis. Seems like they're hitting us over the head with this at the merge episode and not wanting to win with the rude ones etc.
I haven't seen such a positive white hat alliance (Malcolm/Denise/Lisa/Mike) in a long time. Or maybe I'm just the perfect demographic for this season . Honestly, though, at this point I'd be happy with a win by any of those 4....rarely do I feel that way. It sometimes feels like the lesser of the evils and this season I'm curious to see if they all keep their white hat image until the end.
ETA: Crispy, just noticed in the voting thread that you were the only one who voted RC from the very beginning -- well done!!! The happy family quote was a good clue....also Mike's comment to RC that they're free agents now....and in hindsight even his comment tonight about baby steps before giant steps. So who's your call to go next???
