Sami sucks

Ah, exactly what I was hoping for post #500 to be. He's basically Spencer Reiman Bledsoe without the Charlie Brown storyline that made Mr. Bledsoe a compelling TV character. Sami is a wooden gamebot that has literally nothing going for him.

The worst part is that the edit is favoring him. If he wins, I am done with Survivor. That would make this my least favorite US season; only AUS All-Stars would be worse, as that season reeks of an even worse version of this one. An insufferable alpha male protagonist who thinks he's hot shit. Soulless editing. Boring, predictable votes. Lame twists. A lack of good moments. But while this season has a subtle, undercurrent misogyny, that season has overtly horrible treatment of women, and that's made worse by truly abysmal editing.

I do hope I'm wrong about the edit favoring Sami and that he's being set up for a comeuppance later. But that scene at the challenge with Sami and Noelle worries me. It was left in for a reason, and that's either to make people root for Noelle or to make Sami look good. I hope it's the former.

This is the first time this season that Aubrey & David have shown any semblance of a personality.

Is that on them or the editing? TAR editing is usually even more formulaic than that of Survivor tbh.
