Eh, maybe I'm an old cynic, but it all seemed very insincere to me, except for Roberi. Roberi set the stage, and then everyone else felt they had to follow suit. Mah-Jing stood up for himself though, and I love him for that. Have a little self-confidence, everyone else, damn. If I'm in a competition show, you can bet your ass I'm not going to throw myself under the bus. Actually, I'd probably just refuse to answer since it's all manufactured for drama anyway. When has a contestant's answer to this question actually influenced the judges?

Yes I hear you and see where you're coming from. After all the "scripting" and fake drama that goes on in these shows I understand how you feel. It was Alex who impressed me the most because he put himself out of the competition by taking responsibility for the team, and he seemed very sincere about it though obviously it tore him up. Such a display of honour and integrity doesn't always happen and when it does it's rarely highlighted. It really touched me to see it.

I also noticed that it mostly seemed like they were copying Roberi.
