I actually like what they're doing with Lake because it's showing her flaws, and since the move she makes massively backfire, I think this one is actually portrayed as a flaw.

Her wanting to stick to her morals even if it means she goes against Rosa and ultimately is the reason the vote was split, is an interesting direction for her character.

And while Lake's beef with Spencer is somewhat petty, it also feels very natural for her character because of how different she is from Spencer. And with the circumstances set up, I think this misplay from her makes complete sense. Rosa's grudge on Natalia is reasonable, but Lake believes that Rosa has become consumed by revenge... Which is exactly what Lake did when she tried to eliminate Spencer.

Lake went to Natalia not because she necessarily likes her. But because she HATES Spencer.

And Lake doesn't necessarily distrust Rosa, but she believes that her quest for revenge has clouded her judgement.

Just like how Lake's quest for revenge has clouded her own judgement.

Lake has not adapted very well to the game, and that is one of her flaws in her strategy and it feeds into her flaws in personality.

Is Lake being a hypocrite here? Yes. She is doing the exact same thing that Rosa is doing. Rosa worked with Spencer wanting to get rid of Nat. And Lake worked with Nat (or a least tried to) wanting to get rid of Spencer, even if it meant destroying her majority.

But I don't mind Lake having this hypocrisy. Because it gives her a character flaw. And flawed characters are infinitely more interesting than a perfect person who can do no wrong. (See Tristan from S4 and how little I care about them for having zero flaws.)

I honestly think this is really good for Lake's character. And I am very happy that she is making the merge, because I have really enjoyed her in this season.

Personally, I'm fine with them. Is Aiden always in the right? No. No he isn't. However, when Aiden does overreact, his anger is sometimes treated as an overreaction. Hell, FvF paints Aiden in a very negative light as he is the main villain on the Fans for the first few episodes.

Plus it fits his character. From the very beginning (yes, even DC2 Beta) Aiden has always been hot headed and he gets pissed whenever he feels like he's been wronged. These traits weren't very fleshed out until DC2 Remake, but they were always there.

Also, Viester's voice acting is always extremely good and whenever he screams you can FEEL the anger that Aiden is feeling.

Image unrelated btw, I just had it on my phone and was too lazy to find a more fitting image...

Anyways.

5: FvF

4: S1

3: S2

2: DCAS

1: S4

This goes left to right in order btw. So my favorite in DCAS is Ally. Least Favorite is Gabby. And same for the rest.

I also didn't include the hosts, but if I did, Derek and Trevor are in my bottom five for both COC and DCAS, Kristal, Marcus, and Nina are all in my bottom 5 for DC2, and Derek and Jensen are my least favorites in DC1.

To further explain the question, what do you believe are the worst decisions made in the elimination order, not necessarily because the eliminations themselves are bad, but because you believe that the character who is eliminated is in a stupid spot in the elimination order, whether it be because they should've made it further or because them being eliminated there is just a terrible decision for the narrative.

Anyways here's my choices.

DC1: The elimination order for this season is extremely good, so I don't really think there's any big problems. Guess I'll go with Ellie though, souly because I think she should've been in the finale with Miriam instead of Fiore.

DC2: Connor sharing an elimination episode with Kai is something I'm not huge on and I think he should've made it to Episode 5 or 6.

DCAS: Tess... I don't think this one requires an explanation.

Carnival of Chaos: Spencer being eliminated in Episode 18 tanked the rest of the season.

FvF: Aiden. He might come back, and if he does then I think this will be perfectly fine. But as it is rn, Aiden's placement in the order makes no sense because there was so much potential with Villain Aiden but they just...didn't use him that much post Episode 4.

Obviously if you don't like her as a character, that's fine, but I see a lot of people misunderstand her.

Oliwia has a mental disorder. No idea what her disorder is, but she obviously has one. And this hasn't been confirmed, but Oliwia likely didn't have many or even any friends growing up. In fact it's probably not crazy to think that every friend Oliwia tried to make, ended up leaving her in the end because they found her weird. And when she comes onto the show the first friend she makes (Aubrey) gets eliminated immediately. A big part of Oliwia's character is how she feels outcasted and wants to be liked over anything else. She wants to be appreciated, and she wants to have friends. And Oliwia being on the wrong side of the vote twice in a row makes her feel like she's a failure who will be abandoned. This is further proven by her behavior towards Finn and Ren. Oliwia follows them around, and tries to do everything she can to make them like her. And when her efforts aren't appreciated she feels like she has failed as their friend.

So when Ara presents her a choice between being on the wrong side of the vote again, or helping the other alliance out and voting correctly, Oliwia takes it. And then Finn tells her she's doing a good job. And the reason why Oliwia throws the next two challenges is because after Finn compliments her for voting correctly, she associates voting correctly with getting praised, and she associates getting praised with being a good friend. And Oliwia believes that if she is a good friend to Finn, then he will stay.

And then when Oliwia throws the challenge in Episode 6, Finn finds out. And he berates her. And it causes Oliwia to run away crying. But it isn't just because Finn caught her, or even because of the specific language he uses against her. It's because Oliwia believed that Finn was her friend. And finding out that Finn never actually was made her break down.

And after this, Oliwia no longer throws the challenges after she is saved by Ren. She no longer wanted to throw the challenges because the last time it happened, someone chewed her out for it. And thus she no longer associates it with being praised. She associates it with being abandoned.

And then there's her attachment to Ren. She becomes possessive over Ren and just like with Finn she will do anything to make him like her, because this feeling is probably very new to her, and she desperately doesn't want Ren to leave her. Her possessiveness over Ren is somewhat creepy and is probably very uncomfortable for Ren, but Oliwia doesn't realize this, she just believes she's being a good friend to him.

And when Oliwia sees Ren being way closer to Dunia then he is with her, she isn't just jealous of Dunia (though that is definitely part of why she votes her out) she is afraid. Oliwia doesn't think "Dunia is just closer to him" she thinks "Ren is going to abandon me". Because Dunia and Ren barely give her the time of day (which they have no obligation to) and Oliwia doesn't take it well.

Oliwia is often demonized as a "just someone who flips on her allies" when her situation is much more complicated than that. She is a way more complex character than people are giving her credit for

For me it's easily DCAS Riya.
