** Giselle, did you really think Brick OR Isaac would ever vote with you after the shit you pulled on Reyna and their friends?
** Devereux and Max were idiots in the long run for basically screwing themselves socially for a challenge. WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The series is rated T...It ''REALLY'' shouldn't be that low. Basically everyone agrees it's an M-rated story disguised with a T-rating for literally no real reason.
* WinBACKTheCrowd: After episode 8, a lot of fans begun to stop reading, or at least weren't nearly as supportive. Episode 15 won many readers back.

** Izaya's return as a non-contestant during the merge and subsequent stay as a supporting character, while largely decently received, is widely agreed to have lasted ''far'' too long.

His girlfriend Juvia also is popular due to her HiddenDepths and friendly personality.

* GrowingTheBeard: Episode 15 is a MASSIVE improvement compared to everything before it.
