I'm gonna be honest they fumbled how the alliances could have gone SO hard

I'm rewatching the songs and just from those alone I feel like The Rosa Spencer Lake Bruno alliance could have actually worked really well. Plus I feel like eliminating either Ara or Fiore is a really bad move for beginning of merge. I feel like they're both a decently big part of character arcs with a possible Nura and Ren putting aside their differences arc if she had stayed longer, and Fiore is a pretty big part of Natalia's storyline (which also could be written a lot better) They're writing themselves into a hole and while I'm happy to get episodes in general I don't think the writing of FvF has been that good, it's really honestly felt like the Gom show and the fans and favorites are also there. I don't hate Gabby or Tom but their writing is just bad this season and they shouldn't be as much of a main focus as they are.
