Firstly, I'd like to wish everyone a happy October 1st!!!

Fall is in the air, pumpkin pie season has officially started, and TESS MORGAN has once again blessed us with another greeting!!! 🥰😘

Tess warms my heart and takes away my pain whenever I see her! 🥺♥️ Speaking of warm, I'm happy that Tess can stay warm by that fire; there's no reason for a beautiful angel like her to ever feel like she has to be uncomfortable in cold weather.

My heart craves Tess; I think about her and miss her every single day!!! 🥺😘😘😘

"Even if the whole world turns itself against me, I'm gonna love her." ♥️

Keep smiling, Tess! I'll never quit loving you, and I want to make sure that you never forget to take a moment to remember that YOU are loved! 😘😘😘

Okay but really.... there's currently, to my knowledge, only ONE Tess & Ashley double greeting in the whole HISTORY of Disventure Camp double greetings!!! 😭💔

Tess and Ashley are absolutely PARFAIT, and I CRAVE another double greeting with them! 🥰😘

I don't know about tomorrow, but right now the whole world feels right. 🥰

There's a new Tess greeting that I just found this evening, and look! Tess is HAPPY!!! 😍♥️

All I really care about is her genuinely loving life, and feeling euphoric every single day. ♥️😘

Look at it from my perspective.

Rosa Maria is my 3rd favorite character, and truthfully I kind of miss getting to see her play the game. But due to what I think was a downright disrespectful first episode, for reasons I've talked about before, I chose to not watch the remaining episodes.

I didn't want Rosa Maria to get eliminated early and treated like she's a joke like ONC did with Aubrey [which to this day I think was not only ridiculously unnecessary, but also vicious], and I didn't want to watch a whole season where I didn't think I was going to be happy very often, so I made the decision immediately after Episode 1 to skip the rest of the season.

For 6 months, I never missed the cast in general, nor did I miss the previous allure of being able to watch the show as a fan.... but I missed Rosa Maria. 🥺♥️

I don't feel like it's going to be a mistake to look at the scene pack, but I'm pretty worried that my first intuition for the season was right, and that looking at it could regrettably unlock more reasons for me to dislike the show [not because of Rosa Maria, but because of the other characters around her].

I want to make the right choice. I miss Rosa Maria. 🥺♥️

Are they finally ready to admit that changing the All Stars boot order was a mistake? 😄

The poetic justice is so sweet I can taste it, and it tastes like a strawberry danish! 🥰

It looks better now!!! 😍♥️😘😘

Like, I can recognize that me glazing Tess can feel pretty overbearing.... but I wish people could just take a few minutes to open their heart to Tess Morgan, and maybe they'd start to see why I fell in love with her! 🥺🥰 Who could resist Tess? Right? 🥰😘

Maybe they'd fall for her too!!! After all, Tess is flawless and beautiful!

I'm sure that if people could look at Tess the way that I look at her.... they'd realize that my devotion and love for Tess is as real as real can be! 😍😘

I took the time to try and create a refreshing new look for Tess and Ashley.

Tess and Ashley are both BEAUTIFUL Angels who have my love forever!!! 😍

But I thought I'd try something fun and go through the experience of seeing what they'd both look like if they had the other's eye color!!!

Gray eyes make Ashley look GORGEOUS, and Tess with blue eyes MELTS MY HEART! 😍🥰

Of course, I love them just the way they are!!! 🥺♥️ But....

I'd fall in love with Tess and Ashley with their eye colors reversed too!!! 😘😘

Tess and Ashley were the PERFECT Final 2 pair, but ONC stupidly chose not to go with this decision even though Tess and Ashley are beautiful angels and a great Final 2! 😭🥺♥️ They took Tess and Ashley away from us. 🥺💔 But they didn't make that decision because they weren't "interesting enough", it was because Tess and Ashley are nice women who actually deserve the money. But ONC not only dislikes poor contestants, but they REALLY dislike kind, moral people. They could have made a refreshing, entertaining storyline with Tess and Ashley, but they didn't because that, for some reason, was going to take "too much work".

And ever since the day they foolishly switched the boot order, and that's if Tess and Ashley were even going to be the Final 2 to begin with! (I'm skeptical because of ONC's favoritism issues), ONC has written back to back seasons with TERRIBLE "winners" and a general storyline that several people appear to dislike. I think it's very concerning that there are so many people who are actively wanting to make a rewrite of the seasons when the seasons aren't even halfway finished. That kind of tells you that ONC is doing something pretty wrong!

Tess and Ashley were the perfect characters to make the Final 2 in All Stars! They each were going to emotionally overcome their individual hardships and their worst nightmares, and they were going to win the money and be comfortable for the rest of their lives!

But what did ONC do? They gave us an unappetizing, shameful ending where they glaze and give plot armor to a poorly written, morally disgusting beast! Their thought process apparently is: "Why reward 2 hard working women who actually need the money, when we can glaze our Writers' Pet Riya, and give Riya the money without making her struggle or apologize?" 🤬🤬🤬 People think they didn't have any bad intentions with the All Stars ending, but they absolutely did.

This is a pattern now! They aren't making these boot orders by mistake! 🥺 Their favoritism is VERY clear: the Riya clone makes it to the Final 2 or Final 3 EVERY season! Whether or not you think this was a "last minute change", they still did it! They still CHOOSE to go out of their way to villain glaze their most unpalatable characters! 😒

And then last season, Plotastasia rode through the whole game without getting voted out and almost made the Final 2. As a dedicated student of the series, who admittedly has his own preferences for the "nice, kind, caring female therapist" characters.... I'd like to know if ANYONE has ANY reason to tell me why I shouldn't expect Arastasia to make it to the Final 3 this season with Tom and Sam/Spencer???

Like, why should people even keep their hopes up when we know what ONC is going to do? (which is to make the same choices they've always made)? They've never written a single season of this show where their "girlboss villain" character doesn't make it to the Finale, and I don't have any reason to believe they're going to change their ways this season. People are going to be lenient to ONC and say "give them a chance" but every season they make the same mistakes they always make. The Riya clone makes the Final 3, and people talk for months on end how ONC "did their best" even after they showed RIDICULOUS favoritism to that same character type, but nobody wants to try to look underneath the surface and ask themselves why it's the same result for every season!

I recognize the very real issue that people are grappling with regarding Gabby's character. Believe me, I understand. But Gabby doesn't have a prayer to win. She may be an irritating, hypocritical jackass for 5 more episodes.... but ONC will never allow her to WIN the season! However, Arastasia is for "some reason" still in this season. And if what you're telling me is that ONC would never even THINK about repeating the same mistakes they made in DC3, and DC4.... then you are MISTAKEN! 😕

My most loyal disagreeing colleagues have kept to the same story: Which is them telling me that my dream of a Tess & Ashley Final 2 is "terrible and really boring". But I'd like to ask everyone else in this subreddit:

Is a TESS and ASHLEY Final 2 REALLY a terrible outcome compared to having to watch Riya make the Final 3 EVERY season instead of the other characters??? People kept bickering with each other for WEEKS after DCAS ended, and I'll fully admit that I was one of those bickering people! But all of my criticisms and beliefs about how unfairly both Tess and Ashley had been shortchanged were legitimately reasonable!

I LOVE the kind, cute, and sweet female therapist characters who have a heart of gold, and the voice of an angel, who work hard daily to make a happier life for themselves and always find a reason to keep trying because they're worth it! 🥰♥️

And look at that, I got REALLY lucky:

Disventure Camp has them in 3 different flavors!!! 😍🥰

I'm choosing to give Bruno a break for not hitting his full potential, and the reason is: he's the only new Fan character on a tribe chock-full of Writers' Favorites, and we're all aware that ONC is using most of the Fans as chicken feed to keep the 3 time players in the season as long as they can.

In my eyes, it's nothing short of an absolute miracle that Bruno got a halfway respectable amount of confessionals and attention from ONC. Because, let's be real here, with the exception of Arastasia and Sam (who ONC has clear favoritism for), you could make any of the other 10 Fans, including Aubrey, switch teams and all 10 of them are going to be sidelined for Spencer, Plotastasia, Tom, Gabby, and Fiore.

Is it disappointing that Bruno barely tried to play the game strategically? Of course it is. But his perceived inability to try to take the front seat during any of the votes was obviously done artificially. Nobody who took Bruno's statement about being a super fan seriously is going to believe that Bruno would ever make a decision as stupid as trying to blindside ROSA, a teammate who is very close to Lake (his most trusted confidant), when he could have easily just taken a shot at Tom, Spencer, or Ally and had a pretty decent 50–75% chance for the plan to succeed.

There's no good reason Bruno couldn't get concentration for his own individual strategic arc when Ally, Benji, Tom, AND Gabby are barely doing anything in the story. Did Gabby or Tom EVER talk to Bruno meaningfully during the whole time he was there?

This is why I think Bruno's lack of assertiveness in playing the game is less than 50% his own fault; this is clearly the narrative stopping Bruno from being the intermediate–level strategist he could easily be. But purposely stopping Bruno from being a prominent strategist when there's 6 people on his team who aren't making any kind of relevant impression, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

If it was ONLY Ally who was doing absolutely nothing.... it'd maybe be a different story. But Tom, Benji, and Gabby aren't doing enough in the story themselves to make ONC stopping Bruno from trying to take the reins and PLAYING THE GAME look like a reasonable choice.

Bruno's arc could have been served better if he was treated as a skilled diplomat between Rosa, Lake, and Spencer. They also kept Bruno away from social interactions with Gabby and Tom. Bruno's bond with Lake is a great idea, but I'd like to have seen Bruno foster more of a friendship with Rosa Maria.

You can choose any of the ORIGINAL 12 Fans characters from the start of Fans vs Favorites.

I'd choose Aubrey and Bruno! 😄😊

Tess and Ashley are the perfect match as best friends (you know I'm right 🥰).

I really like the idea of them both being happy and enjoying life together.

There's nobody who could ever take Tess and Ashley's places in each other's hearts! ♥️

Hunter? Who's Hunter? Jake? I don't think so. Ellie? She wishes. Ally? You're kidding, right?

They're all more like.... 3rd place friends, which is still a prestigious honor to be rewarded with because it's a PRIVILEGE to share a part of your life with a literal angel! 😍

I love Tess and Ashley, and I know they love each other too (as best friends)! 🥰♥️

Rosa Maria was unfairly judged during that challenge, and Emily made a dumb mistake! 🥺

She chose wrong; Emily was just jealous! 😭

Tess, Ashley, and Rosa Maria deserve to win EVERY time!!! 🥰

I can tell you right now that I'd be overjoyed if Tess and Ashley got their own spinoff show! 🥰😘

But we have to make sure that Jayce Hanson returns as the main writer, because I can't trust Jared, Jorge, Viester, or Tony Ellis to make good or fair decisions with the general narrative.

Angels like Tess and Ashley deserve the highest quality writing money can purchase! Oh, and don't forget that if we're talking good writing.... I should be the other main writer for the Tess & Ashley spinoff! ♥️

And if you guys don't like any of my ideas here....

I can always go back to praising Tess and Ashley if that's what you'd prefer! 😄

No way, you can't seriously still be surprised by seeing me glaze Tess and Ashley!!! 😮😄😍

Always remember this: ONC purposely chose to keep her lovely voice away from us 🥺 because they knew that fans were going to prefer and love Aubrey's singing, and ONC was going to be super jealous that Aubrey received more love for her singing than the others. 😕

I'll take any questions related to my boot order and try to answer them thoroughly.

My boot order looks better, and I believe it provides the characters with more opportunities.

Except for Riya; Riya gets voted out in Episode 1. 🥰
