There's an alternative universe out there where they didn't do the Brian and Cole elimination challenge during the first few days. If they didn't do that Brian, Cole and JC would still be here with their own alliances. Detective Cole and his sidekick JC vs Brian and his poor friends. Remember, JC said that if she didn't go, then Cole would've been eliminated. If Cole wasn't kicked, they wouldn't have had any problem with Jimmy because they could just kick him since they have another content producer, essentially preventing the whole Abby situation. This, too, would've made Brian a good villain with his feud against Cole and made the Cell challenge kino with his unwavering determination to get that 10k.
Some may argue that JC would've left regardless, but you have to take into account that her leaving was early and wasn't dramatic. I don't even think Cole knew JC sacrificed herself for him in the tank. If they had more time to bond, her farewell would've been impactful for the viewers and Cole, himself. She could even tell Cole to never give up and stay for her, strengthening his will to go on.
Some also might say that he would've just been a bigger pain for the producers because of his ego and the fact that he kept threatening them that he would quit, but that's why I specifically mentioned the Brian and Cole elimination challenge. If he had JC, or at least someone on his side, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have acted like that. He joined the tank to be more extroverted and have friends (lol), but everyone hated him except for JC. Didn't help that people were fucking with his stuff and had no one on his side, so yeah, no wonder he wanted to quit. Not being a moralfag here, just stating the reason why. Hell, even if JC had to go early, they could've just whipped out a female freeloader so he at least had someone with him.
Cole was the perfect main character and they blew it when they kicked him. He was more stable than Jimmy, was the only fish who wasn't under medication, loved by the audience and had an organic arc and storyline. We could've had amazing content from him, but the wiggers just had to ruin it. If they just played their cards right none of this would've happened and they wouldn't have needed to rely on Jimmy. I bet you, with every passing day, they regret kicking Cole for the most absurd reason.
Can you imagine what his story would've been like in S2? A detective, named Cole, searches for clues and encounters a woman in distress named JC, but little did he know that woman would soon stab him in the back. They both encounter a safe in B2 and attempt to solve the password, as they continue, their bond grow stronger and she slowly regrets picking up the dagger. As the citizens of the tank slowly turn against him, and being unable to pay rent, it seems all hope is lost, until JC confesses everything she's done and gives back his chips. Cole forgives and offers her the role of being his official sidekick, and JC accepts. Now with their alliance solidified, it's up to them to solve the mystery of the tank and survive the upcoming obstacles.
The wiggers had to ruin it though, so their only options now are: a communal hole, coomer who is "initiative", /ourguy/ and /ourgirl/
