What do you think about Shane Powers? Was he robbed of being on season 31?

@@Thepokedek Shane was all over the place but he got himself in control most of the game, Brandon literally pulled an Erik Reichenbach. Shane’s threat was also edited in a pretty humorous way no one took it seriously Shane was actually funny and Brandon was a loser, he was also overcoming addiction and had a story arc with his son. Brandon was just a retard. It’s also a matter of opinion btw, but you wouldn’t know that considering you can’t handle basic semantics. The cast members had this perception of him being a loose cannon which he was but he got into majority at both ends of the game and had a surprisingly good chance at winning. You’re clearly here to hate though not actually watch the video.

One thing that made Shane magnetic is he came in raw, crude, and usually everyone who shows up is happy, cheerful, typical optimism. Shane was that every day guy, with issues, and he was open about all his issues and his character really developed and you knew he wasn't fake. But what made him great for me was his deep, unconditional love for his son. Even when you hear him talking in podcasts, or news interviews, he makes it clear how he cares for his son. It was so uplifting watching him wiggle among people going thru mental issues and nicotine addiction withdrawals. How hilarious was it of all people to find a washed up kilo of cocaine, Shane does.

Shane is my all-time favorite. I remember watching this season live and he was the best part of the show. He was so spontaneous and irrational that you just never knew what he would do next. At the same time he was so likable because he felt real. He didn't look like a model and he didn't act like he was perfect. He was going crazy and I think a lot of people would be like Shane if they were on the show. I'm a little surprised he never actually tried to kill someone, but I guess we can't say that 100% because Bruce did get hospitalized just as they were forced to start voting their own alliance out. Is it a coincidence? Yeah probably but you just can't hold nothing past Shane
