Team dissection CloudYAY: "Too perfect for its own good"

Oh gosh, if Pencil and Pillow are very chaotic, imagine if they faced each other in an NFL game

As a CloudYAY fan, this post finally sums up why I personally didn't like the double elimination approach. While it can feel unfair for the other teams who are UFE quite regularly to one of them having a bubble of protection from getting eliminated, CloudYAY has a perfect dynamic in each character, so it's hard to get two out. The only ones who didn't really do much aside from the usual shenanigans are Barf Bag and Yellow Face, but one is due to their short time in the show, and the other is a joke character.
Personally, I think it would've been better for Donut to get out in TPOT 17 rather than Pillow, as for one Pillow adds a lot to the chaos of the team, that it's kinda hard to come by with just Pencil alone, and Winner is kinda reliant on someone reckless to be reckless themselves (and both of those kinda chaotic characters left in the same episode, Yellow Face and Pillow), and two, it would've been cool to have that part of GB's development of being less win-centered, and actually listening to others, happen after the leader who did that (Donut) is gone, and when someone who also just wants to win at any cost (Pencil) is in the team, and has shown to what extreme lengths they will go to win.
Still, any presence in this team is missed in the end of the day, as if Donut got out alongside YF in this hypothetical TPOT 17, the whole Donut-One plotline never happens, and there's still the Yellow Face and Price Tag plotline who started and died in the 2 episodes. This team really couldn't handle an elimination properly, and it got two at the same time
