3 teams FTW!

Team VICTORY: DJ, Harold, LeShawna, Bridgette, Lindsay, and Ezekiel
-The only group that's gender-balanced, and the only group with 6 people. That makes me think they lose the first IC. This team is definitely the least interesting; Bridgette, DJ, and LeShawna are pretty bland, and I'm kind of sick of Harold and Lindsay. Ezekiel is the only one I care about; he was really funny this episode.

Team CHRIS IS REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY HOT!!!!!: Alejandro, Tyler, Noah, Owen, and Sierra
-Both new people on the same team. It's surprising that Alejandro is on a team with only one girl (who already seems to be committed to Cody), since he seems to be what they originally intended Justin to be like. Tyler was funny in TDDDI and in this episode. I hope Owen goes QUICKLY; he's taken way too much airtime in the first two seasons. I'm not sure how much potential Noah has; but I don't see why they'd bring him back if they just made him an early boot again.

Team AMAZON: Cody, Heather, Gwen, Courtney, and Izzy
-The best group by far. Gwen's the center of it, because she has conflicts with Heather and Courtney, and some sort of relationship with Cody. And of course nobody on this team has a penis.

I just watched season 1 and I loved it. I stopped watching about a year ago but this time I finished it. Loved it.

Heather was by far the best strategic player in the game. Not to mention she was a fierce competitor. Why they let Gwen/Owen be final 2 is beyond me. There was no rooting interest at all. Neither player did shit in the game. Still glad the last episode was basically about Heather though, star of the show <3.

Lindsay got screwed over with her elimination. I was pissed. I did love Lashawna being booted, that was hilar and I'm glad she got her ass owned for being jealous of Heather.

Onto season 2 now.

I know this show isn't real, and Heather is an awesome character, yet she is a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE player in TDI.

-First, she makes an alliance with Lindsay and Beth, which is fine, but 3/11 votes is hardly enough, and she was so mean to them that the alliance proved to be ridiculously unstable.

-Stealing Eva's iPod was probably the only good thing she did, since it got rid of one of the other team's strongest members with no backlash on herself.

-Forcing Lindsay to stay away from Tyler was pretty pointless - that relationship could have helped if it had lasted until the merge.

-Noah was an obvious boot, moving on...

-Reading Gwen's diary out loud was incredibly stupid; it strengthened a rebel group against her, it hurt her team in the challenge, and it may have actually helped Gwen/Trent's relationship progress. To clench it, she was still able to control the votes after that by swaying Owen/Izzy, but she used her power to get rid of Justin for no apparent reason. Why not get rid of Gwen, since she already hates her?

-After Justin's boot, it's clear that she lost the voting power in her tribe. At F16, the vote was between Izzy and Lindsay, two of Heather's alleged allies. Clearly she wasn't in charge of that, LeShawna was. (I assume Owen started voting with the other group; maybe even Izzy as well.)

-At F15 she lost Beth in her alliance by being ridiculously bossy. Heather attempted to target Beth at that TC, but she wasn't in control, of course. LeShawna's alliance spared her since they had to get rid of Cody since he was mauled by a bear. I believe Cody and Beth voted for Heather at this TC.

-F14 was her tribe's last pre-merge boot. She got what she wanted in getting rid of Beth, but it wasn't her doing; it was because of Beth's bad-luck Boney Island idol. Heather could have easily gone at this point, but the opposing alliance spared her once again for the good of the team.

-At the merge, Eva and Izzy returned. It's likely that Heather would have been the first boot post-merge, but Eva was hated even more than her.

-At F11, Heather became obsessed about a 2-person alliance between Gwen/Trent, so created an elaborate scheme to break them up, by getting Gwen to catch Trent kissing Heather. This was stupid, since it only got Gwen to become more mad at Heather. She lucked out by winning immunity that TC, so Trent went home instead... though Heather was definitely the preferred target.

-At F10, for some reason, she concluded that it was much more important to get rid of Owen rather than Duncan. Thus, she and Lindsay needlessly targeted Owen, which gave the male alliance an upper hand to knock out Bridgette.

-The next two boots were not vote-offs, as Lindsay and DJ were eliminated. After this, any hint of the alliances at F10 disappeared.

-At F7 she allied with Duncan. I imagine Izzy was voted off for personal reasons (tranquilizer darts, etc.) Duncan was smart to make this alliance; Heather is the only one the jury hated more than him.

-At F6 Geoff was voted off for being an massive jury threat, which he was. This may have been a rare boot that Heather controlled.

-The F5 elimination was funny; LeShawna's elimination was clearly an accident. If the ex-campers knew what they were doing, it looks like either Duncan or Heather would have been voted off; my guess would be Heather.

-At F4 she had immunity as well as Gwen. Voting off Duncan was a mistake, since he would have been way more willing to take her to the F2 than Owen would be.

-At F3 her past behavior cost her as Gwen offered Owen half her prize money (if she won) just to get rid of Heather!! Turns out Heather's pathetic social game did come back to kill her in the end.
