FEI LONG
Aaron - MOR3. We always hear from this guy, but other than a few "I wanna be the leader but do it subtly" comments in the premiere, we never get insight. Another basic edit this week.
Amanda - UTR2. The 2 is generous; and part of me wants to give her a 1 to make up for the fact that she got an undeserved 2 in the premiere. Personally, I think this episode hurt her chances, but I am trying to take into account that female winners generally get a lesser edit.
Courtney - MORP3. They really put on the kid gloves for her, which is interesting because they went out of their way to make her look bad in the premiere. An interesting edit for sure; they could have gone no holds barred considering her challenge performance.
Denise - INV
James - MORN3. I was thinking mixed at first but his initial scene with the lobsters ("I went to Barnes and Noble") wasn't really positive enough to balance out his conversation with JR.
Jean-Robert - OTTN4. I would love, love, love it if this guy won. It won't happen, because they're too afraid to edit a winner negatively these days but I think it would be a great shake-up.
Leslie - CPP5. Kudos to the editors for not resorting to the textbook 'Christian = automatic Bible-banging hypocrite' edit. Had enough of that with BB8 this summer.
Todd - CP3. This was the first time I actually found his storyline interesting. He was like a mini-Earl before. Still up in the air on him.
ZHAN HU
Dave - OTTN3. Surprised this isn't the general rating. Last week he came across as the smart guy for working so hard, but this week he just looked like a control freak. They didn't even make it seem like he had good intentions, with blunt remarks like "Do it once, do it right, get it done...it's not rocket science."
Erik - INV
Frosti - UTR1. Still not seeing what was so amazing about this guy that they decided to cast him at 20.
Peih-Gee - UTR3. I'm shocked that I actually kind of like her. Don't know if she stuck out enough for MOR, and her visibility certain wasn't necessary.
Sherea - INV.

MOR3
Once again, Jaime gets airtime purely because she has to. I don't want to say that her edit is concentrated around the hidden idol, because she hasn't really discussed strategy involving it, or really done anything besides narrate about giving and getting the clues. Then again, she hasn't found it yet...and personally, I doubt she will, because I think EPMB would love to throw in some foreshadowing or at least edit her more complexly about it. We'll see if she can get some non-mandatory airtime in the near future.
