Thoughts about Emily and Mike

People have always been so quick to hate on Emily and that’s something I’ve noticed while watching a lot of peoples play-throughs. I mean, I get she’s not the nicest but she’s also not the worst (her and Matt have a lot of cute moments).

However, there’s one thing she gets hate on that especially makes me mad, and that is her “cheating” on Matt with Mike. People rarely ever get onto Mike for that and for an example, like when Ashley and possibly Matt see them through the telescope, it’s most common for people to jump straight to hating on Emily because she’s already not the most likable (and she’s a woman) and they’ll ignore Mike completely. But if you watch their movements, (which of course I have), you can see that Mike is the one being the more touchy with Emily, while Emily has to take his hands off her face and stops herself from touching his waist.

I also hate how Matt confronting Mike about what he and Emily were talking about on the trail doesn’t make Jessica question Mike at all. I mean, both her and Matt are in the same boat, plus they’re good friends so why wouldn’t Matt’s words make Jessica question things? Especially with Emily and Mike’s history.

People also hate on Emily for not treating Matt well, which is something Mike also does with Jessica and once again people look past that because you have more control over most of the things Mike says.

Overall Mike does show more care for Jessica regardless, for storyline purposes to make him seem more ”heroic”, and I guess to keep Emily a less likable character, they made her concern for Matt at the end be based on specific decisions which was poorly thought through, since she obviously shows concern for Matt and seems to genuinely like him throughout the game.

I like both Emily and Mike’s characters but those were just some thoughts I’ve always had and rethought about while watching through different peoples play-throughs recently.
