***?! Poor Landon I don't think they should have been put in. The alliances and stuff is just too much! I really hate it. Like I used to like Wes and Ev but now they're doing the same stuff they hate Kenny and co. for. Why can't the challenges be like they used to be, where there was like an ounce of fairness.
[QUOTE=JustAFan;176713]Once again, Wes and Evelyn show what not to do in an alliance.[/QUOTE]
Well, they don't even know what the word [I]alliance[/I] means, so you can't really expect them to know what to do when in one.
I can't believe I'm saying this (because it's Kenny), but I totally agree with Kenny's assessment of the Wes/Ev alliance. He said all that I've been thinking for the past couple of episodes.
[QUOTE=yankeegurl93;176708]I think that it was nice of Kenny and Laurel to do that for Jill and Pete. I honestly have gained so much respect for Kenny this challenge.[/QUOTE]
I completely agree. Mr. Beautiful has become likeable ;)

I guess I thought they were smart enough to know you have to keep the strongest competitors in your alliance. You don't throw someone like Landon under the bus and you never have two teams in your so-called alliance forced to face each other.
I have a little more respect for Ev because she's not going in trying to be all buddy buddy with them after her scheming, Wes on the other hand is ridiculous. Everyone went into this challenge thinking Kenny was the enemy, I'm glad Wes's true colors are showing especially after the Danny situation. If this was Kenny and Evan, Kenny would have never done that.
Wes takes this too seriously, and Ev does too, but she's just not as ridiculous as Wes.
As much as I like many many other people better and think A LOT of people are better physical competitors then Kenny, after this challenge, Kenny is proving to be one of the best [B]well-rounded players[/B]. That includes social, physical, and scheming.

Kenny has always been a likable guy. I've been preaching that for years.
It's funny that this challenge initially played out as Wes bringing down Kenny because Kenny is a jerk and they wanted him to go down, but Wes is the one looking shady on this one. against other people
I'm going to throw in Jenn and Ryan as people I would not trust on a challenge as well, for giving allegiance to both sides.
[QUOTE=Seannnn;176730]I don't understand how that was a good move on Wes and Ev part?[/QUOTE]
It wasn't and we shall see what happens next episode. They are screwed.
[QUOTE=tjhallow;176734]It wasn't and we shall see what happens next episode. They are screwed.[/QUOTE]
I got the impression that one of them would go this week, so they survived to play another day. Not really a good move in a game changing way, but more of a survival move with the hope that the game could turn next week.

I have to agree.
When you also take the time to sit down and notice. Kenny has always been loyal to his alliance (with the exception of Paula). I think he's also becoming more mature, well hopefully.

Yea, Wes is pretty ridiculous. It's always been the lesser of two evils and looks like this challenge that's Kenny. However neither of these losers brings the same "hero" feel that the pre-G2 Miz/Theo/Landon/Timmy/Brad crowd gave off.
I think something else that helps, at least to me, with Kenny's portrayal in this challenge is that he is being shown as having a bit more substance (in terms of competing and gauging "the other side"). He was too one note to me in the past. He's far from being a favorite, but he isn't bugging me as much at this point in the challenge. That kind of happened for a minute for me concerning Evan on Duel 2 as well, so I'm not one of those people who think Evan is dragging Kenny down (or any combination of Evan/Kenny/Johnny dragging each other down).

I agree about the hero deal.
Jillian and Pete's loyalty to Kenny/Laurel has really impressed me. The others need to stop being so obsessed with not letting Kenny get to the end and concentrate on winning. Ev/Wes/Kenny could have dominated together.
The key to Kenny's dominance is his ability to take advantage of Wes's mistakes. He makes those mistakes evident and uses it to his advantage to make himself more appreciated. Quite effective if you ask me...
Remember, he is a very smart player... he always would let Evan do the scheming and Johnny do the talking. He has natural street smarts that help him in the game.
