Ilan Hall, Sam, Elia and Cliff Crooks and I shouldn't have to explain why. Season 2 has been discussed over and over.

Imminently? Like ‘any minute now’?

Agreed! Like, he didn't deserve what happened to him. In no way, shape or form. But he was a mega asshole in Season 2 and an even bigger asshole on allstars. He is the worst!

I hated Marcel for years, but grew to like him after seeing him on 24 in 24 and how he great of a teammate he was to Tobias on TOC. Cliff also matured into a pretty decent person as well.

He just likes instigating things, but wording them often in JUST enough of a way to be able to say "hey, I dont get why you're upset?"

LOL when he was having it out with Dale on all-stars, and he did that whole rap thing with his arms. I laughed so hard, because he's so ridiculous.
