Thinking about how awful Ally’s All-Stars experience was. It’s kind of wild.
James, Hunter, AND Tess were all eliminated in the pre-merge of All-Stars, and then Ashley was the first merge boot. That couldn’t have been fun for Ally. Literally all of her friends are gone halfway through the game.
Then she’s with the heroes alliance, which doesn’t really trust her from the beginning. She’s an outsider the entire time she’s there. (I saw a post on Twitter about this before I deleted it and liked it so much that I screenshotted it.)
She’s also constantly fighting with Jake until the finale, where she has the most ridiculous elimination in the series (aside from Zaid’s, maybe, but hers literally defies logic).
Ashley also would choose to keep Jake over Ally if the vote came down to it, and Ally seems to know this.
Then there’s Ashley getting upset with Ally for… not accepting Jake’s fake apology? The apology he obviously only gave because Ashley wanted him to??
Jake snaps at her and says that she’s the most insecure person he’s ever met, and she genuinely seems upset when he says this. He also says “I feel sorry for Hunter for having to deal with your bullshit” (Why does no one ever bring this up? Yes, Ally was 100% in the wrong for leaving him with the bear, but this was still awful of him to say.)
The game she created herself is broken by Riya (this one’s less serious, but it’s here)
She finally bonds with Connor in the final 4, only for him to be gone THE SAME DAY.
Oh, and neither Connor nor Ashley acknowledges her when she loses in the final 3. Even Fiore seems to feel bad for her here. (I like Connor and Ashley but wth)
She argues with Hunter, too. As much as I love Hunter, he was pretty dismissive of her insecurities. Not to say Ally wasn’t in the wrong at some points though, because she definitely was.
She also sort of becomes friends with Riya and gets advice from her, only for Riya to tell her “You don’t know what real struggles are. You’re a whiny brat who can’t get over some silly internet comments. Grett knew it, I knew it, and so does Hunter!”
Her feelings are constantly invalidated throughout the season, which is made worse by the fact that she’s insecure.
Her mom continues to show disapproval of literally everything Ally cares about in her letter.
She also could’ve died in the finale, and so could other people that she cares about.
Ally cannot catch a break in DCAS 😭
