The allegiances were VERY predictable, the Hell you talking about? Ashley/Devon Ben/Lauren and JP/Chrissy/Ryan were all working together on their individual tribes so it made complete sense for the heroes + hustlers to join to together against the five heroes. Can you please explain to me where the unpredictable allegiances are?

The only true character moments I liked were Jessica's virgin thing, and Mike's impression of Joe, plus the old-school vibes with all the focus on the lack of food. Ben and Devon didn't really have that much character development imo, so I'm not sure where you're getting that from.

Plus, Ryan did technically get his way this episode so I'm not sure where you're getting that from. For a merge episode, this felt very lackluster to me. At the end it came down to the heroes + hustlers as expected, but throughout the episode I wasn't so sure it would go that way. Ben and Lauren had doubts and discussions, I wasn't sure if Mike and Joe would work together, and maybe it will be the Yawa five alliance, which would come out of nowhere as we saw they wasn't really fond of Cole. I even thought for a moment that Devon might go as he was getting a lot of "making the decisions" scenes as opposed to Ryan, and the outcome didn't ruin the episode for me as a whole. Even if Ryan got his way, it didn't FEEL it was his sole decisions harping on the strategy, and that's all that matters tbh.

Ben had a ton of character development, he got a lot of scenes and it was basically his decision what happened that episode. You saw that when he talked to Lauren, she had her mind set, but when he said to her something else, she asked: "You think?" which showed he was in charge of what was the right move. Devon also had much more strategy scenes than previous episodes, who again was very overshadowed by Ryan and Joe, he was at the front of voting Cole or Joe talk at this episode, with Chrissy of course, because if not a lot of Ryan input, we need hers.

It's ok of you think otherwise, but saying the episode was terrible is very far reaching.
