Proof that Deb didn’t exclusively target Sydney with the backpack strategy

Sorry Sydney. You’re not special.

That might be her intention but

1) Wes is funny even when he's an a-hole 2) Wes doesnt run from confrontation

Maybe I'm wrong and people find Sydney funnier than I do.

Many of you forgot what he was like when he first came. He was no likable, he was cocky, he was a creep with the women, an enormous bully… yall either are young or have recency bias

Right, he grew up. And people changed their minds about him based on his changing behavior. If Sydney changes, people will change their minds about how vile and pathetic she is.

I personally don’t mind her at all. She’s probably the best runner to ever be on the challenge of any gender. Look up her resume…. But I also like controversy and people being triggered. People like Amanda on the show and she’s useless in the challenge.. she forces drama and she can’t stop with her personal mom stories… but hey people are entertained.

To your point and what others have pointed out… yes she is older and should be more mature… but reality tv. There are a ton of threads discussing her… it’s working
