Although it's clear that Justin's the new baddie, I'm wondering: Will the writers have him do things worse than Heather did back in TDI? So far, the only really dispicable things he's done is force Gwen to tell the Grips what Trent did, and we're aware he's going to mess with Beth's feelings.

So, do you think the writers will make Justin worse than Heather was?

He did a lot so far. Heather started off the season with an alliance, read Gwen's diary out loud, voted off Justin, sabotaged Trent out of the competition, formed an alliance with Duncan (for an episode), got Izzy voted off, betrayed Harold in the special, got Lindsay and Beth to do her things and did little in challenges.

Justin, on the other hand, formed an alliance with Beth and has full control of the Grips...already!, got Trent voted off (man, the dude should really get out of the way), forcing Owen, Lindsay and Beth to be his slaves but he is doing decently in the challenges.

Already Justin did almost half of what Heather did. We already know, as you said, that he's messing with Beth's feelings, which could result in another "Gwen's diary scene". In my opinion if he continues, he WILL top Heather but maybe he won't be hated as much by the viewing audiance and possibly the other campers.

He hasn't actually hurt anyone, just flirted with people to make them do things for him. Now that I think about it, there really is a lot of bad blood between him and Heather; she engineered his downfall in "Not Quite Famous," so maybe he wants an alliance with Beth because of their mutual hatred of her.

Hopefully Beth will come to her senses before Justin betrays her; the poor girl doesn't deserve to get bait-and-switched twice.
