episode 9
this episode just felt like filler, the only plot it really progressed was benji's plot and everything else was just clip farming and yaoi/yuribait although the jokes in this episodes were good and probably one of the more funnier season 5 episodes and the lack of plot progression is probably because evie didn't have much significance to anyone else except aiden so when she got eliminated, no one cared
also the comment that ara made to gabby was hyped up and to see it barely get touched upon after that scene is stupid
and i feel like ren was slightly off character for being slightly sassy for voting evie and they've never explicitly stated that evie's been making them lose all the challenges, then he just celebrates it like they were gunning for evie the entire time and it feels like they're going to eliminate ren next elimination and making him meaner to not cause as much uproar in the community
i also find nura just lamenting about this passion stuff really annoying and make someone stop her or just eliminate her or something
anyways my prediction for next episode's elimination is either gabby ( althought there weren't as much conflict between the cyan team alliance ever since episode 7, which makes me think they'll bring her to early merge) or benji ( because his uselessness character arc is done and eliminating him also can give room for ally, the master of doing nothing in this season, to finally do something )
