People I like more (In ascending order):
LeShawna- She was way too perfect last year, popular, good at everything, so much so that the writers couldn't think of a legitimaite way to make her lose. It's nice to se her fall from grace
Duncan- Hasn't changed much, fine by me
Lindsay- More assertive, good leader, I like that. I know his isn't related to the topic, but Lindsay looked gorgeous in that Admiral outfit. I hope we get to see her don it again.
Gwen- In season 1, they looked to be a match made in heaven, if only Heather would keep her nose out. It's a nice twist to see a rift forming, without Heather doing anything
Heather: The world of TDI has changed, and Heather shows great adaptability. No one is dumb enough to be suckered into an alliance anymore, in fact her own team hates her and barely trusts her. And yet, she's not the most isolated player on her team. She's formed an interesting relationship with the team by actually helping them win challenges. It's symbiotic in a way; they need her and she needs them.
People I'm indifferent about:
Owen- Just indifferent.
DJ- I don't feel like they let his plot run long enough for me to make an accurate call.
Courtney- She's only had one episode so far, can't tell yet
People I dislike more in descending order (that is, the most disliked one is at the bottom):
Harold- It seems like all he does anymore is say random stuff and fall over. It's lost its charm
Eva- Not technically part of the TDA cast, but I'm putting her in here for that "Team Eva" gag. Seriously Eva, why?
Trent- He used to be the calmest dude on the island. Something happened to him after he got his claws into Gwen. Now he's paranoid, he's useless at challenges, and his "onetwothreefourfivesixseveneightnine" gag came out of nowhere, and really rubs me the wrong way.
Beth- Don't know what's up with this one. Is she really too blind to see Justin's ways? And that Brady plot had better get funny soon, because it isn't now.
Bridge- It was so cute how she was concerned whenever someone got hurt, despite the fact that it's a cartoon and they always end up fine. Now she's so busy sucking face, she wouldn't even notice.
Izzy- She's starting to lose her charm. The E-scope gag was funny for one episode, and "Explosivo" was funny for zero. Writers, let someone else get un-eliminated.
Justin- I liked it better when he didn't talk. Honestly, I think his schtick should have beeen a handsome guy who doesn't talk, and nothing more. In fact, I'm going to go as far as to say that he shouldn't have even been included in season 2.
Geoff- The sour creme of the locust-ridden crop. I can understand him kissing Bridge all the time, the guy is madly in love with her. I can understand him hosting the sideshow, it's not like his reality show career will make him much more upwardly mobile than that. What I can't understand is why he's resorted to picking on other contestants. There was one sacred rule in Season 1 that not even Heather was willing to break; everybody hates Chris McLean. I can't name one instance where the contestants purposefully did anything to help Chris torment people. And now along comes Geoff, who basically does Chris's work without him even having to show up. If he's not willing to stand with the other contestants, united against Chris and the TV show, then he's dead to me.
