I didn't realize how much Iraida was propping up the show for me these last few episodes (after Patrick's medevac). This episode just sucked the enjoyment I have for this season completely away. Not only did Dirty Hands (EASILY the team I preferred) get utterly destroyed in the tiebreaker team competition, but then my favorite player left (and the heart and soul of the show) gets eliminated in the overtime competition. It just sucks, because I look at the final four, and you have Zeus/Sarah, who are just overcompetitive workbots, Swifty, who is just a little too cocky for someone who's performed as mediocre-ly as he has, and Scott, who just sucks and is such an obnoxious overdog at this point that I once again have to fear that he's going to win the whole thing.
It also doesn't help that, aside from the first few rounds, the season's eliminations have been pretty predictable. Tara and Angel's eliminations were the only real shockers, but then the overdue Celi boot, Patrick's medevac, the slightly surprising but ultimately expected Merryl boot, and then the overdue Knuckles and Iraida boots...it's just eh. I remember last season, even though it was male-dominated (and my GOD Young sucked to beat out multiple more interesting female players), you still had Michelle, the ultimate underdog, taking out Lee and Luis. This season, the only men eliminated have been either due to ejection, medevac, or being paired up with another man in an arbitrary duo competition.
