Ty played a role in the error as well but it was definitely more on Johnny on that challenge. Of course Johnny screwing up there and his bad decisions with the Eric/ Ty stuff backs up my "He's not a leader" theory even more.

See I don't understand this whole "Pay your Dues" garbage. This is a game where money is on the line. Why sit there and try to "Prove that you belong" Who are any of them to say who belongs there or not and why should anyone have to prove anything? In the long run this game is about politics. People are gonna end up trying to keep their freinds and sex buddies around anyways. who's to say that once you prove that your strong. They'll just throw you in the elimination round so that they don't risk they're buds (or themselvs)going home?

Oh and In my opinion Ty isn't that bad of a competitor. He's just a Rookie so they pick on him. Yes Eric did well in that mission but one good preformance doesn't overshadow the fact that he was a liability. The Blue Team was right in sending him into the Gulag.

It could be worse for Ty... most rookies that screw up on two missions in a row get put up for elimination before a vet would. Ty's just lucky he's got the village idiot running his team. Yes, put Eric up for elimination but save him for an elimination closer to the end even if it's just a week closer.

Honestly I don't think Ty gets picked on. If he got picked on, then Eric would still be around. I think they're treating him pretty well for a rookie even though he underperforms.

I have to agree... Who is picking on him? He's not really getting picked on so much! He should have been put in the Gulag.

The thing is, "vets" outnumber rookies, so it's easy to pick on them. Plus, no one is really aware of what the rookies are capable of. Yes, it would make sense to send in the people who are KNOWN (or at least perceived) anchors, which means Katie and Eric would be the logical choice in Johnny's mind (not that I agree with sending them in, just defending why for him it was a good move). Once the people you know are bad are gone, then you HAVE to pick someone. Would you rather risk losing someone who you know can pull their own weight and is an asset, or someone whose abilities you just don't know? In a game like this, that unknown could be a huge risk.
