On last nights episode, when Matty and Ace were making a pact, and Ace swore on his mother, I instantly thought of Johnny Fairplay and his grandmother. I don't love to hate Ace, I just don't like him and don't want to see him win. I haven't like him since before the show even started. As soon as I read his profile I decided I didn't like him then. He's too arrogant. It drives me crazy.

I don,t care for him either.Right off, I figured him for a real character-like Fairplay.Last ep. did you catch him also saying "who can I get to be my Benedict Arnold".I figured him for point value-love to hate.Also, yeah for Ken telling Sugar to getthe necklace back from Ace.

What people are reacting to is Ace's flaunty, arrogant personality, not his snakiness; for the majority of the Survivors ARE snaky. Examples: I've studied Kenny's gameplay choices since the beginning. Do you think he CARES?! That his choice of Kelli at the reshuffle was going to guarantee the team continuing to lose challenges and members? NO. He NEEDED (ie. USED) a 'weakest' player to keep the radar off himself as a target. He told Jacquie his vote would not make a difference in her staying or not, BUT IT DID. Those are only samplers for Kenny. He has played a selfish game in the extreme, to the detriment of his tribe. HOWEVER. It has served him (and only him at the expense of others) very well. (He's currently in process of flipping on Crystal without telling her now that she many not be needed further. So who is snakier, guys? I'm playing Devil's Advocate: Ace, who pretty much only made two promises through Week 6: To Sugar and Matty, and he claims behind the scenes he is true to both. Or some of the others, who are stringing people along and cutting ties whenever it suits them. (Another example, Corinne's original alliance: We'll bring Bob in as a fifth cos we need a fifth, and Bob's the expendable one but he doesn't need to know that.)So let's be real, people: If Ace is disliked because he wears he wears arrogance and confidence on his sleeve, that's one thing. But the irony is, he is one of the few that is remaining True to his careful word and alliance (I believe what he said to the camera, as those are times he brags and divulges other private info, when he said that he truly would do whatever he could to further Sugar in the game. He wants her to be his final 2 or 3, that is obvious. And yeah, while I think Sugar is more brilliant than they give her credit for, her goodheartedness and noncompetitiveness compared to others there will probably get her out before the end... but I can easily see why Ace thinks that taking her to the end would give him a win.Dislike Ace for his personality, but many of the players are "snakier."

I think there is a part of Ace that is also having a tremendous amount of fun "playing a role." I'm going to guess in real life he's a tad more mundane (or more!). But it's t.v., and they are all playing roles. Here is what I like about him: He plays a really great villain. Everyone loves to hate him. But having him in the game, ironically, makes it more interesting, gives people more to bitch about. Face it, he's doing awesome at getting under people's skin and making a splash.Having a variety of kinds of players, how they look, their ages, their personalities (or in this case, poisonality) makes for a more interesting season run. But no, I don't want him to win, and he won't.

Now that Ace is gone, I can't wait for the finale to find out if his accent is fake.He really is the snake, but he played the game.

I don't think, Ace could never be the next Johnny Fairplay because he's not smart enough that's why he has already been voted out

Ace does not even COMPARE to Jonny Fairplay. Ace was nothing but an idiot. He never had a card to play and the 1 person he thought he might be smarter than totally kicked his butt, and outsmarted, outplayed and TOTALLY outwitted him. He will go down as nothing more memorable that "THAT GUY WITH THE FAKE ACCENT" on the almost equally boring season. He never did anything to win a challenge, Randy doesn't sound ANYTHING at all like Sugar, but Randy EASILY bossed him around in the blindfold challenge. Ace's cockiness completely obliterated him. That yoga crap didn't buy anyone. I wanted him 1st out, but unfortunately Michelle, who actually should have been a contender was. Stupid people play the game stupidly. And Ace is stupid.
