100%. If Cirie were any other random, first-time player, she would be considered filler this season. But because her reputation precedes her, people are acting like she's on the same tier as Dan and Will.
I love how well Jag and Matt are doing. I see some viewers claiming that they're as boring as Derrick & Cody or Hayden & Lane, but that's ridiculous. They never had a giant alliance protecting them, neither of them won an HoH until almost 3 months into the game, and they aren't your typical frat bros -- Matt has a disability and Jag is a minority who's never been represented on BBUS. Their success is awesome, and it's not their fault that they were cast alongside furniture like Blue and America.
