Still Hoping to Rise to the Top

I really thought this was going to be my season. I locked in Frank. I had some other hotheads like Ty and Nany. I have Paula, Queen of the weekly challenges. And yet somehow my team hasn't risen to the top (yet), despite generally strong weekly performances. What I need now is a crazy ass tirade or two. C'mon Frank, c'mon Nany, show us what you got!

As for the other players:

For whatever reason Diem is getting under my skin. Everything she says sounds reasonable, and yet also incredibly annoying. Perhaps it's because she is getting significantly more air time than everyone else even though she isn't particularly funny. On a positive note, I am glad that she dropped the wigs.

Cooke and Cara Maria- I feel like Victor must have seen something in the previews to make him willing to pick two teammates. Could they be the winning team this season? I find it hard to believe they could outcompete Paula an Emily, but hey, you never know. While CM is not getting as many tear points as one might normally expect from her, she certainly is holding her own with the challenges. Cooke couldn't have been more lucky that Naomi went home! On a side note, umm, is CM still with Abram? I have to assume its over by now, but I'm still kinda hoping they make it.

Camilla and Jemmye- we knew Camila was tough, but Jemmye has surprised me. Similarly, how the hell have Preston and Knight made it so far? That's certainly a miracle.

Jonna an Jordan - this one I don't get. At all. I still think Jordan is a bit of a creep based on how he came off in Real World Portland, so it's hard for me to see anyone going for him. Yet somehow he's gotten two ladies this season. Impressive.

I'm of course sad to see Leroy and Ty go. With Ty leaving, I lost another teammate. However, I think I'm more sad to see Leroy go. I still love me some Leroy.

I'm not sure how many episodes remain, but I'm hoping the players soon get flown somewhere new and that some drama (involving my players, of course) soon erupts. We shall see.
