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."
I feel like, in a lot of circumstances, they would put that Shirin confessional about Merica in there to make her look bad. She is a player that got the "annoying edit" for a decent amount of time, after all. But after giving her a personal story last week, it felt like they were trying to spin her into a spunky underdog type. So then they turn around this week and give her the confessional slamming Hero Mike.
What's the deal?
What her confessional really did was open up a dialogue with the audience about whether the tribe name is stupid. I don't know if the editors felt it was too stupid to not at least mention, but they very easily could have left it alone. Why even bring it up?
There are still shades of the Jon Misch edit about Mike that still gives me pause. It's ridiculously great for him (from an editing perspective) that they didn't rehash the challenge throw and make it look like a bad thing. Especially considering what Joe ended up doing. That fact alone makes it looks like he has it in the bag. But this constant theme of "Mike is kind of a dope sometimes" is eyebrow-raising.
