I don't know if there is already a thread about this or not.
Anyway, how did Ezekiel become such a fan favorite to everyone? I can understand Eva and Noah's surprising popularity, but not Ezekiel's.
He was a nose-picking sexist and I just don't understand. I don't mean to insult all the Ezekiel fans at all.
Can someone explain why he's so popular?

People want what they can't have, in this case. more screen time for Ezekiel. He had the funniest voice of all, being the only true-blue Canadian accent, and a lot of people can sympathize with how he always says the wrong thing in social situations. I personally busted a gut laughing after hearing his delivery of "I think I see a bird!"

I'm not really that much of an ezekiel fan myself, I'm more neutral on his character. But I did think he was funny in the first 2 episodes, and thought he deserved to last longer, at the very least 1 more episode. He definatly deserves a 2nd chance at winning money the most, but I guess that's probably not going to happen.

See, a lot of people can relate to him, just like a lot of people relate to Cody and Noah-also early off fan faves.

Yeah I just can't relate to Ezekiel so I guess I understand why some people like him.

However I am definitely a fan of both Cody and Noah

my top favorites are Noah, Ezekiel, Cody, and Harold. (Not necessarily in that order.)

you know what? I really disliked the sexist comments, but he was a funny character in the end. I think in the special he made me laugh the most, being paired off with lindsay and beth. did anybody else get the impression that they let a fanfic writer to the dialouge for that 'respect us' convo the three of them had? that was irrelevent anyway- he could've been one of my favorites, but he did annoy me sometimes.

I love cody and noah... they're awesome and I really like Eva/Noah.... rewatch the special if you think that's odd (however, I liked them before... but whatever)

Well at first, I began to hate him after his sexist comments and trying to act kewl with the bling and the lingo. But later on, like around TDDDDI, he started to not have that sexist attitude and finally start to act kewl to me. Although I'm still thinking he's not a guy that I especially favor like Cody and Noah. Ezekiel I say is ok to me.

Besides, Ezekiel might be homeschooled, but he is very smart, he can speak like 8 different languages.
