I don’t think we can judge cast members as being pure evil and will hate them when we only see maybe 15 minutes (each cast member) per week. People are complicated and I believe every one of them (maybe not Ed or Meemaw, I jest) also have good qualities we don’t get to see. And I absolutely believe many of the haters have done things as stupid, selfish or toxic as the cast members they love to hate. Haters sound to me like they’re simply trying to feel superior.

So when someone says, oh, they definitely cheated, 100%, I laugh because it’s foolish to think you know better and with absolute certainty about someone they only see a tiny fraction of each week. You can’t possibly know them more than they do themselves.

Also, it kind of drives me batty when I see comments about how bad this season is, they don’t want to watch anymore, get offended over sexual comments and stuff. All that stuff is what I’m here for! I’m not bothered in the slightest over TMI sexual stuff. I laugh my face off. It’s part of why I watch. And I think there are others here who feel the same way.
