      I will give him the benefit of the doubt (and credit!) and assume that he was playing it up. He's not really like that by nature, not to that level. Loved him as a character on the show. The true villains are ppl like Dan, Rodney and Will from worlds apart.

    Dude Randy is a douche at times but like a fair few of his “villain” moments I’m just like “but he’s right though” especially the early ones. That said while his king speech is iconic and I actually felt a little sorry for him when he said a woman hadn’t come onto him in 20 years, that speech about Crystal running the tribe like a gang was some blatant underlying racism. I find Corinne to be way nastier as a person and Crystal is useless in the challenges though.

    These videos so far reminded me how dumb it was to vote off Dan instead of Susie especially in a 4-3 vote.

Though if Marcus actually makes it to f3 and brings Corinne and Randy as goats, I think Dan and possibly Matty vote for Randy as jurors.
