SFC14 Day 36 Tribal Council

And with an Idol played the Final Four is named and Diego is left out.

When I was planning this season and Diego, my initial thoughts about him were a bit mixed since the "Fail Villain" Arc had been done alot before and Diego while not strictly in that archetype, was similar enough that preconceived ideas could be enough to alter perception of his character into that, instead of the "Goober that really isn't evil tries to be Evil and Nobody takes him seriously" Arc, which is quite a mouthful, but thankfully in the end, even if it took some time that's what almost everyone saw.

When I was making this season, I knew Diego had to be interesting enough to last the majority of the season, and enough of a story so that he could survive story wise after Prussia left, and honestly I do think Diego's last two episodes were two of his strongest in the entire season just due to how much we got to focus on what makes him tick,

Another thing about Diego, and this one was fully unintentional, was how viable of a winner pick he was. Since preseason I was really working on portraying the Final 4, Prussia, Ivan (Until a certain point) and Thorne as the Edgic contenders, Diego was not one that I planned to give a viable winners edit to, and yet.... the people that supported Diego made great claims that I could honestly have seen myself making, and as fitting to his character, just like his gameplay, his winner edit was accidental and unintentionally good.

But with that, we close the chapter on a  very fun, and our evil sweetheart Diego as we head into the Finale.
