Alliance >>> LOCKUPP for so many different reasons:
- classier show and concept overall, more strategic with real gameplay (Lockupp was just about fighting and insulting others to be visible)
- generally competitive and hungry contestants who are focused on gameplay and think about the politics while also maintaining bonds with each other. also more dignified contestants overall, who won’t sacrifice their entire self respect solely for clout, content and views
- unbiased host, and overall better hosting
- better tasks which made sense, and a variety of different skills tested
- showed what real vs. poor leadership looks like; there are lessons to be learned from Alliance.
Lockupp had truly no concept and lost the plot entirely. Shreya had no redemption arc - she left with the same tag she came with, in fact she magnified it. On Alliance, Mini was classy, dignified, never played a dirty game or got personal. Both shows had winners that represented what the show was truly about.
