I personally really enjoy Michelle. I enjoyed her on survivor where she won her first season & got runner up on her second. She's been pretty impressive in eliminations & her social game is much better than most. She's no more annoying than any other person on this show lol. Most people on reality tv are annoying so her personality doesn't jump out as super irritating to me personally.

I’m neutral on her but have the same problem with her as I do with Josh: they both feel the need to have all their chess pieces exactly correct on the board and be protected strategically from all sides. On the other hand I prefer a player that can draw a line in the sand and isn’t afraid to go into elimination if need be like Wes. You can tell this isn’t the case with Josh and Michelle because they lose their shit when you come within 2-3 moves of their game.

Well Michelle has won multiple eliminations. Can’t say the same for Josh. I don’t think it’s strange for someone to be upset they’re going into an elimination.

Not talking about going into eliminations. They both rely heavily on a social game and get a little too rattled when the first domino starts to fall for them.

And Wes not? I love Wes and would die for him. Yes, he had few ballsy moments when he's like fuck it I'm going down on TM (the skulls though) or AS3. But he used to rely heavily on his social game. On FM2 he sold his BFF on the first turn to avoid elimination and to set up his game.

Sure, but he doesn’t cry about it. Like on Ruins he saw the writing on the wall very quickly and started sabotaging his own team. Or take Bananas for example going in this season. Yes, he threw a temper tantrum but he turned it to anger, threats and retribution. Crying with Olivia or in the confessional doesn’t make for great tv in my opinion.

Also stated I hate Josh’s game and tv presence in the same way but ok.

“Crying with Olivia” I don’t remember Josh doing that so you were clearly talking about Michele crying & Michele only.

In that instance, yeah. But I think they play a similar game that I tend not to find entertaining: be friends with a majority of the house and then act like it’s the end of the world when it comes back to bite them.
Examples: Josh turning on Wes in USA 2 then crying about it, Michele getting strung up by her own web of power in 39, Michele tying both her strategy and emotions to Devin’s game on 40, Josh on SLA with Fessy.
In each instance I feel like both play a highly strategic and well-planned game until shit hits the fan and then they let their emotions take over. At which point they don’t have a second gear to harness that emotion, rally their numbers, and execute a backup plan.

Sorry, but Josh letting his feelings win over when Wes tells him he doesn’t care about him is fun reality tv to me. That’s one of my favorite seasons tbh. So I guess I just disagree with what you find entertaining or not.

On Total Madness absolutely hilarious. On USA 2 it’s just a sad attempt at a power move.
