Honestly, I don't get what you've got against Micheal C. he just seems like a nice guy to me. Someone who tries to be friends with everyone and at most snarks back when pushed. (a lot like me actually)

His self restraint in dealing with Ivy and the other bullies is plain out admirable. He makes me want to hug him, whenever I see those bitches bully him. And I include April and Andy in that. (so yes I do want to see both them and Gretchen aufed.)

Gretchen's not just opinionated. I like opinionated. What she is, is self centred. She only cares about herself. Hell she even spells it out at the start of the ep. She loves to dish out criticism, but can't take it when someone criticizes her. To someone like Wretchen, the only opinion that matters is her own. We saw that in her talk to her mother, when she wouldn't even let her mom finish a sentence without interrupting her.
She also seems very fake to me. I don't know, just can't stand her, at all.

And I usually like the female contestants that tend to get called bitches. Like say Mila last year.
