Yi Min is a contestant labeled as **The Dumb Jock**. He competed on Total Drama Reality and Total Drama: The All-Stars.

## Biography

Yi Min was adopted at the age of four and began his life overseas. He was able to learn English easily through association through viewing images. His father is a high school football coach and his mother is a P.E. teacher. They encouraged Yi Min to pursue all forms of athletics very early on. He finds studying to be extremely difficult and he spends almost all of his time training for, playing, and thinking about sports. Yi Min was forced off of all of his school's sports teams due to his poor grades. His father agreed with the decision as he doesn't want to be accused of nepotism, despite his son's fantastic athleticism. Yi Min is teased relentlessly by other teenagers who call him "stupid". He never retaliates, however, but he suffers emotionally. He longs to be able to compete on his school's teams, who have never won since he was taken off of them, but is unable to improve his grades. Yi Min's parents want their son to do better in school and to be able to compete at something.

## Total Drama Reality

In Idle Talk Show, Yi Min talked about his struggle with being unable to compete in sports because of his bad grades. He failed to think of the word "limitation", but Leshawna provided it for him. When asked what else he liked doing, he said he liked to bite things. Yi Min signed his contract to appear on the next season of the Total Drama series, after Chris told Yi Min it would be a chance for him to compete.

Throughout X-Treme Home Takeover, Yi Min showed signs of stupidity. He laughed at a joke he didn't get, didn't understand the other team's name, the '15 Second Fame Seekers', he volunteered "iRene" for an assignment it was impossible for her to do (as her only representation was a large television screen with a camera and other technical devices), and at the elimination he prematurely opened the box that determined whether he was eliminated or not, revealing his safety. Chris then put him in charge of opening "iRene"s box. In Mission Catwalk, Yi Min viewed Uriah and Ophelia's sign language with awe, declaring that the hand dancing was pretty. During the fashion design challenge he commented that "iRene" was a good leader, and that she assigned him to move around tables in another room.

When Sheena and Libby were discussing that guys weren't worth the trouble, in Bronze Cook, as they look up to see Yi Min commenting on how he just realized that his thumbs were shorter than the rest of his fingers. "iRene" then beckoned Yi Min to her and she offered to help him mentally if he carted her around for challenges. He was weary and asked why he needed her help. She told him that she could count to eight without looking at her fingers. He agreed to help her saying that he liked that in a woman. During the cooking challenge, Yi Min said that "iRene" should be one of his team's judges for the challenge, and the rest of the team just silently stared at him. In Last Comic in an Upright Position, Yi Min told Cary that it was okay for everyone to make jokes about him, because they didn't like him.

Yi Min woke up Uriah by pulling him out of his top bunk by the arm, in The Smallest Winners. Uriah signed a string of obscenities at Yi Min, but they went misunderstood as friendly. Yi Min then hugged a half dressed Uriah, and Uriah signed that he couldn't read Yi Min's lips, and he signed that Yi Min was a pervert. "iRene" nominated Yi Min to lead the team in the challenge as it was related to working out. The others were hesitant, but "iRene" was able to convince them. When seeing Dinah in her workout clothes, Yi Min apparently believed that she used to be a giant lizard, and said she was cute. When his team went to use the gym equipment he reprimanded them, saying that stretching was essential beforehand to help prevent injury, and that they knew nothing. Sheena said in confessional that Yi Min telling her she knew nothing was the low point of her life. Yi Min had his team do Yoga, saying it was important to clear your mind while doing it, and was insulted in sign language by Uriah. Yi Min hugged him, again. Yi Min then had his team do Jazzercise, but asked Uriah to spot him while he lifted weights. Uriah was amazed by Yi Min's ability to bench press six hundred pounds. At the weigh in, Yi Min was excited when he gained two pounds of muscle, missing the point of the competition, which was losing weight. The team did poorly overall, which made Yi Min nervous. The other team's weight loss was much higher, until Cary weighed and lost the challenge for his team.

In Boy vs. Wild, Jonathan found a note written by Uriah to Yi Min, saying how scared he was. When Chris revealed that the events were a part of a challenge, Jonathan punched Chris. Yi Min held Jonathan back, and tried to convince him that attacking Chris wouldn't solve anything. When Jonathan was further insulted by Sheena, he retreated to his bedroom and locked the door. Yi min attempted to comfort his friend through the locked door. Jonathan came out of the bedroom soon after wearing clothes more commonly worn by a teenager. After Chris apologized for the challenge, Yi Min told him he knew he wasn't all bad. In Porpoise Aquarium, Yi Min was stunned at seeing that Jonathan had cut apart his Boy Scout sash. Jonathan proceeded to insult Yi Min's intelligence as he was speaking. Yi Min silently got into his bed and stared at the wall. When thinking of an invention for the challenge, Yi Min suggested something that sounded a lot like a toothbrush. Jonathan called Yi Min a moron, which upset Yi Min. Yi Min walked away from the group and looked at the ground sadly. Yi Min said in confessional that he wasn't dumb, and that, though he'd heard words that implied that he was stupid all his life, it hurt coming from Jonathan, because they were friends. Yi Min said that he missed the old Jonathan. Yi Min then returned to his group hiding his feelings, and cheerfully asked what invention they came up with. Micky D. was chosen as the teams presenter for the challenge, and Yi Min told his team that even if Micky D. failed at the challenge, Jonathan would be the one leaving for his bad attitude. When Micky D. did lose the challenge, Yi Min comforted him by saying Jonathan would be voted out. Yi Min later apologized for what he said earlier to Jonathan before the elimination. Dinah, however, was the one eliminated for sabotaging Sheena.

In Astounding Race, Jonathan apologized to Yi Min and he said that he hoped they could be friends, again. Yi Min agreed. The next day, Chris revealed that the two teams were no more. Chris then said that he would select a name out of a bag and that person would pick a team mate for a race. Micky D. chose Val, Uriah chose Ophelia, Naomi chose Priscilla, Melinda chose Tsuyoshi, and Jonathan chose Herman. Yi Min was confused by Jonathan's choice, but Jonathan explained that he thought Yi Min's lack of intelligence would be a liability. Yi Min was offended by this and said that he couldn't be friends with Jonathan, anymore. Yi Min and "iRene" were paired together by default. Chris then said that the teams would drive the Winnebagos along the way, but there were only four. Yi Min and "iRene", and Ophelia and Uriah missed out on getting an RV. After Ophelia read Yi Min's clue out loud, Yi Min took the clue and scooted off the scene using "iRene"'s cart. Chef and Chris then arrived in convertibles for the two teams who didn't get an RV, but only Uriah and Ophelia were there to take one of the vehicles. They passed "iRene" and Yi Min on their way to the first location. The challenge was to eat sushi until a clue was found. Tsuyoshi, Melinda, "iRene", and Yi Min finished around the same time and Tsuyoshi read the clue. Melinda got Tsuyoshi to agree to give vehicle-less Yi Min and "iRene" a ride to the next location. At the next location, the teams had to haul one hundred bricks from one spot to another. Despite his strength, Yi Min had trouble being the only challenger that had to do the task alone. Uriah and Ophelia made it to the finish line first, and Chris told them that they would receive a prize revealed at the next challenge. Ophelia and Uriah sat in their car as the next teams arrived. Uriah signed to Ophelia that he was scared by the survival challenge, and felt that he needed to have help in order to communicate. Ophelia reassured Uriah that when he wrote the note to Yi Min, that Yi Min was able to comfort him. Uriah revealed to Ophelia that he didn't think Yi Min knew how to read. Yi Min and "iRene" were the last two at the challenge, and Yi Min failed at his attempts to read the clue by himself. After explaining a little bit about his struggle with reading, "iRene" told him that it sounded like he had dyslexia. Yi Min had never heard of it, before, and felt hurt that it went unnoticed. Yi Min told "iRene" that the dumb things he says are only part of his sense of humor, and that he isn't serious. Eventually, Chris picked the two up in the unused convertible, telling them that the other teams arrived at the finish. When they got on the mat with Chris, he revealed that Herman and Jonathan had been eliminated. He then showed them a video on a portable DVD player showing what happened. Herman refused to get on the mat that symbolized the team finishing the race. Jonathan took Herman by the wrist and told him to get on the mat. Herman pushed his arm free and said how horrible the entire experience had been for him, and that he wanted to be on the show to make friends. He said that he thought Jonathan was going to be awesome to get to know, but that he was horrible, as well. Herman ran from the area to gather his belongings. Jonathan then fell to his knees, and admitted that he was scared about not being able to control his feelings and the rapid fluctuation of his emotions. Chris assured Jonathan that he'd be okay. Yi Min expressed concern for Jonathan, and Chris assured Yi Min that Jonathan would be okay.

In Spite & Hate Plus 8, Priscilla wanted to choose Naomi as her teammate in the babysitting challenge, but Leshawna, the temporary host, informed her that Uriah and Ophelia would be picking the teams for coming in first in the previous challenge. Ophelia paired Priscilla with Yi Min. Priscilla resented the choice. Priscilla placed Yi Min in charge of everything, but he didn't argue with her. She went to take a nap while Yi Min took care of the children. She periodically came downstairs to oversee how Yi Min was doing by himself. When she saw him doing push ups with the children standing on his back, she laughed. She quickly turned around and left the room, again. In The Vole, a garbage can told the teens that Leshawna would explain their next challenge, a series of events that could easily be sabotaged. One of the teens was given an indication that they were to sabotage the challenges, and they would receive money for it, if three people found out their identity they would be eliminated. The first challenge required the contestants to wear strange costumes for the day. Yi Min accepted his, a mermaid costume. After putting it on, he immediately fell face forward. The second challenge was to run across a bridge to push a button. Yi Min was persuaded to not take part in the challenge as he would have gotten hurt. The third challenge involved Leshawna offering eighteen thousand dollars to any contestant willing to quit the entire game. Priscilla urged Yi Min to take the money, but he declined. The contestants took a multiple choice test, which Yi Min was able to fake, as to the identity of the spy. Yi Min was safe. Tsuyoshi had assumed that Yi Min was the vole, but he wasn't. Leshawna confirmed that Yi Min had the most votes as the vole.

In A Vapid, Self Absorbed Celebrity is My New Bestie, Yi Min gave a dramatic speech defending Tsuyoshi's choice to wear a bunny suit. Later, Yi Min spent time with international celebrity Karina Hamilton. He talked about loving to excercise. She told him he was boring, and proceeded to talk about shopping. He was safe in the end, because Karina thought he was kind of cute. In Canada's Next Big Supermodel... But Probably Not, Micky D. schemed against Priscilla and enlisted Yi Min to try to distract her from doing well in the challenge. During the first part of the modeling challenge, Micky D. approved when Yi Min winked and smiled at Priscilla during his runway walk. Priscilla won the runway challenge and got to choose how many frames each contestant got to use. She chose to give Micky D. only one frame and gave Yi Min the second lowest amount. Priscilla also won the right to watch the other contestant's photo shoots. During Yi Min's photo shoot, where he was dressed as Tommy from Total Drama: Boney Island, he ripped his shirt open while Priscilla was watching and smiled and winked at her. This made her stare at him with wide eyes. After this, Micky D. continued to pressure Yi Min to carry out their plan. Micky D. then encouraged him to kiss her. Yi Min was worried about this part of the plan and "iRene" offered to help him learn how to kiss, as he had never kissed a girl before. She agreed to help him, and he proceeded to kiss her monitor. She scolded him and told him that she would show him clips from a teen drama to help him learn. During her photo shoot, Priscilla had a harsh expression. The photographer told her to think of something that made her happy, and she was able to. The photographer asked her what she thought of and she started to say Yi Min's name, but said "yogurt", instead. At the judging, Yi Min's photo was mentioned as being good, but nothing like Tommy. The bottom two was between Yi Min and Micky D. Micky D. was the one eliminated.

In Taste of Friendship, the challenge was about friendship. The teens would pair up and talk to each other and then decide who to eliminate. Yi Min discussed eliminating Priscilla with "iRene" and Uriah. Priscilla called Yi Min stupid when he asked her why she was mean. He revealed to her that he was dyslexic and she quickly apologized. Out of frustration, he kissed her in order to carry out Micky D.'s plan. Priscilla started to cry. She told him that she didn't understand why she felt Naomi was betraying her and that she thought liking Yi Min was a sign of weakness. Uriah walked in as she was talking about feeling guilty. He then took Yi Min's place and Priscilla cried on his shoulder. Yi Min later met with Tsuyoshi. He asked him some personal questions. He asked him to tell him about when he knew he really had romantic feelings for someone. He told him he had a boyfriend and that he had gone out with him after lying to his father about what he was doing. His father knew he was lying, followed him, and saw the two boys kissing. When Tsuyoshi made it back home his father was waiting outside with his belongings. He told him he no longer had a son and he wanted him to leave. Tsuyoshi then went to his boyfriend, and out of fear of something similar happening to him, he broke up with Tsuyoshi. Yi Min then said that he loved Priscilla, but was afraid she might hurt him, like how Tsuyoshi was hurt. Tsuyoshi encouraged Yi Min to not view his failed relationship as an example for his situation. Priscilla told the others to carry on with the plan to eliminate her. Yi Min and Tsuyoshi objected. But ultimately the teens went along with her request and eliminated her.

In Reform School, the teens went to the location of their next challenge, a school. Yi Min was nervous at the sight of the school. Chef Hatchet was inside, and he was in charge of the challenge. He sat at a desk and read the life stories of each contestant. He cried at each one. Chef then announced that he would be giving each contestant a challenge. Chef had Yi Min admit to Tsuyoshi, the only person who didn't know, that he didn't know how to read. He also succeeded. Tsuyoshi offered to help Yi Min. Chef then presented a glass of blended grasshoppers for Ophelia's challenge. He asked Tsuyoshi to stand up, but Tsuyoshi refused, despite Chef saying he could eliminate him. Chef then had Yi Min stand up and told him to drink the concoction. Ophelia volunteered to drink the gross contents of the glass, instead of Yi Min. Chef announced that the challenge was over. He met the teens outside and announced that Yi Min passed his challenge. Uriah was eliminated. Uriah was being interviewed by Leshawna with the help of a translator. Leshawna said that Uriah must have volunteered to be eliminated because he cared about his other competitors. Uriah was confused until he thought about it. He then rolled the window down in the taxi that was nearest to him, and tried to sign something. Seeing that Ophelia wasn't looking, he shouted that he loved Ophelia. Ophelia was moved to tears and asked Chris to eliminate her. He refused, saying that there had to be a challenge and a vote. Ophelia then had a rigged match of rock, paper, scissors with Yi Min that she lost. She then got the others to agree to vote her out.

In The Novice , Yi Min and Tsuyoshi confided in each other that they both thought they would have been eliminated earlier. Yi Min thanked Tsuyoshi for saying he wanted to help him. Chris told the teens that their challenge would be to work at a fast food restaurant, and that whoever did their challenge the best would win invincibility. Tsuyoshi was put in charge of cooking. Yi Min was put at the register. "iRene" was put in charge of cleaning tables. The teens were assessed by a restaurant manager. Tsuyoshi was doing well at his assignment, but felt bad for Yi Min who was struggling. Tsuyoshi switched stations with Yi Min, and told off a customer that was rude to Yi Min. The challenge ended, and Chris brought the teens to their next location, an office building. Once inside, Chris announced that Tsuyoshi won the challenge for being the only one to do their own task well. Chris then informed Tsuyoshi that it was up to him to decide who was eliminated. In pleading their cases, "iRene" said she was in a box. Yi Min said that his buddy, Tsuyoshi, told him he'd help him. Tsuyoshi told Yi Min that he meant he wanted to help tutor him, and that he wasn't making an alliance with Yi Min. Yi Min then said that they were friends, and that friends didn't vote each other out. Tsuyoshi asked Yi Min if he would be mad if he voted him out. Yi Min said he wouldn't be, but he started crying, saying that he really wanted to win. "iRene" said that while she wanted to win, too, she thought Yi Min deserved it more than she did. Tsuyoshi said that his heart wanted to keep Yi Min there, but his head told him that "iRene" would be easier to win against. Yi Min then said that he would forgive Tsuyoshi if he voted him out. Tsuyoshi came to a decision. He voted out Yi Min. In his exit interview with Leshawna, Yi Min was smiling. He said it was because he was voted out for being a threat.

In Losing Isn't Everything, Yi Min failed to see Priscilla when he came to the Chateau des Losers. He immediately went to her room and knocked on the door. Priscilla came to the door with her eyes red from crying. She looked at him hatefully, but Yi Min simply lifted her up and kissed her. She hugged him, got ready, and happily walked with him to meet the others in the lobby. In Outlaster, Yi Min supported Tsuyoshi to win, even after nearly everyone else abandoned him after assuming that he sabotaged "iRene". When "iRene" appeared in person, Yi Min took Priscilla to her cheering section. Yi Min helped "iRene" break down a door in part of the challenge. Tsuyoshi overheard Yi Min solve the puzzle he had struggled with for "iRene". After Tsuyoshi heard "iRene" "win", Yi Min came back to Tsuyoshi and helped him solve the puzzle. He encouraged Tsuyoshi to cross the finish line. After he did, Tsuyosi found out that "iRene"'s victory was staged, and that he was the actual winner.

## After Total Drama Reality

After the show, Yi Min made strides with his disability greatly thanks to Tsuyoshi tutoring him, and helping him with his dyslexia. Tsuyoshi also paid for his friend to go to a private high school along with him. There, Yi Min was able to play on many of the school's sports teams, which he really loved. After high school, Yi Min moved to the town where he planned to attend college. He was unable to get a scholarship, even though he was doing better in school, but his parents saved up the money for him. Extremely caught up in his new life, Yi Min lost contact with many of his friends, and he doesn't even talk to his family often, either.

Though he is busy most of the time, Yi Min agreed to appear on Total Drama: The All-Stars during the summer. He feels that now that he is no longer illiterate, he stands a good chance of winning.

## Total Drama: The All-Stars

After Yi Min arrived he received compliments from Melinda and Ophelia on his new look, in All-Starstruck. He attributed his new clothes to Tsuyoshi, reminding everyone that he showed up to Total Drama Reality in workout clothes. He felt a little awkward seeing Ophelia, again. He mistook Ivan for Herman until Quintin corrected him. Yi Min admitted in confessional that he received a lot of support at home after his first appearance, but he also got teased for not being able to read. He then proceeded to say that he thought Quintin was Tsuyoshi's friend Sebastian.

Yi Min continued to try to avoid Ophelia, in Fatal Distraction. Al and Yi Min teamed up for the challenge. They came across Quintin, unconscious, covered in mud, and in his underwear and drew on him before leaving. In Modest Muse, Yi Min finally spoke with Ophelia. She assured him that they didn't have to talk about the situation with him and Priscilla. Yi Min did a sculpture for the challenge using different junk. It was deemed as too good by Chris, and the other team won the challenge.

Jonathan was concerned about being paired against Yi Min in the jousting challenge, in Watermelon-choly. Yi Min claimed to have broken his fingers after punching himself in the abs. Jonathan then apologized to Yi Min for being mean to him on their previous season. Yi Min still knocked Jonathan off of his platform since that was what the challenge entailed. He attempted to help Jonathan out of the quicksand, but accidentally pulled off his pants before helping him out.

Ophelia suggested to Yi Min that he help Creigh out, in Comic Mischief Makers, and he did so. Yi Min helped Al pants Daniel. Daniel later stole Yi Min's shorts, but was lent a sarong by Al. He helped Creigh in the challenge, as well. In LARPapalooza, after seeing Creigh hurt himself trying to get up the stairs, he used Kendall's old bed to make a wheelchair ramp. Creigh and Reeve came outside, and Creigh thanked Yi Min. Because of Yi Min, his team lost the challenge. Reeve lost his temper with Yi Min. He brought up Priscilla, his girlfriend's sister, and how Yi Min broke her heart with no explanation. Reeve was eliminated for his outburst, with Yi Min being in the bottom two.

Yi Min told Creigh why he and Priscilla broke up, in Mystery Loves Company. He admitted that he felt he was too dumb for her, having been conned out of his college money, and pretending to be in college while he worked to get some of the money back. Creigh tried to comfort Yi Min, and began to cry over the story. In Embar-Razzmatazz, Yi Min asked Creigh for advice about how to get back with Priscilla. Creigh got upset and said that the last time he gave someone advice he ended up assaulting someone. Yi Min apologized. Creigh apologized for getting upset with Yi Min, and suggested that he try to get advice from Jonathan, his former friend. Yi Min admitted to being scared to be on a team with Jonathan, again. Creigh said he would talk to Jonathan for Yi Min. Tsuyoshi was present to tell an embarrassing story about Yi Min, and Yi Min suggested the one where he lost his shorts at a swim meet and landed in the pool on his face. Yi Min laughed as the story was told and told a story about Tsuyoshi wearing a Speedo and ribbon when ambushed by a lot of people for his surprise birthday. With Topher present, Yi Min suggested that Creigh talk to him.

Anders, Yi Min's new friend, went along with Yi Min for the challenge, in Attack of the Deadly Tree Frog People. Yi Min was willing to sacrifice Anders, being scared that the tree frog people would get to him. Anders eventually became one of the imaginary tree frog people and eliminated Yi Min in the challenge. Yi Min teased Creigh, thinking he had a crush on Beau, in Me, Myself, and Ice. Creigh said that he would talk to Jonathan for Yi Min, again. Yi Min got a chill when he attempted to melt a block of ice with his abs, even after watching Beau do the same and fail, as well.

Beau asked for advice from Yi Min after he felt bad about how he handled the situation with Ivan, in Some Children Left Behind. Yi Min said very little, but Beau ended up feeling better. For the children finding challenge, Yi Min pushed Creigh into the woods to look for them. Yi Min ran out of the woods with Creigh after he joked that the tree frog people might still be there. When Jonathan was voted out, he made amends with Yi Min and they agreed to be friends. Yi Min and Creigh excluded Beau, in Riled Animals, when they had plans to tango. For the animal catching challenge, Yi Min took a harpoon from Creigh, deeming it inappropriate for catching a chihuahua. When Fiona heard Yi Min and Creigh making noise, she thought it was the animal she was looking for, and fired her taser, hitting Yi Min. Creigh carted away, hoping not to get hurt by Fiona. Yi Min announced that the chihuahua Creigh found was named 'Creigh Jr.' When Fiona was eliminated, she took Creigh Jr. with her, at Chris' command, breaking Yi Min and Creigh's spirits.

Yi Min finished mourning quickly, in Test Subjection, after noticing a fern. Later, Yi Min teased Beau again for his assumed crush on Beau. With Chef Hatchet, Yi Min failed his challenge after turning a test into a spit ball and it landing on Chef Hatchets face. Yi Min fell from the the ceiling from his upside down workout regimen, and fell unconscious. In the poetry challenge, Beau attempted to look off of Yi Min's notebook for ideas. Yi Min covered it, later explaining that he was still embarrassed by his poor handwriting.

In Movie Nightmare, Yi Min expressed to Creigh that he was nervous about getting eliminated at the final three, again. The guys promised each other that they wouldn't vote the other out. Yi Min hugged Creigh, and apologized if he made Creigh uncomfortable, still thinking he was gay. During the challenge, Yi Min cried profusely during the cheesy movie. Yi Min won the Willow inspired challenge. Given the choice to eliminate Creigh or Hedda, Hedda mentioned that Creigh had been keeping it secret that he wasn't actually gay. Yi Min still eliminated Hedda, but then pieced together that the reason he thought Creigh was gay was because he knew he dated Tsuyoshi. It was then figured out that Creigh dated Tsuyoshi in an attempt to get him to pay for his schooling. Yi Min then learned that Creigh was manipulating everyone throughout the season. Yi Min noted that he made the wrong choice.

In Winner Wonderland, Creigh got the majority of supporters. Yi Min kept quiet about what he knew now about Creigh. Yi Min made it through all the challenges but got stuck on a puzzle. Creigh caught up to Yi Min, alleged that he pretended to be stupid, and then passed Yi Min. Creigh then alleged that Yi Min was manipulating everyone. When Creigh stopped going for the finish line to justify why he manipulated everyone, Yi Min grabbed hold of his wheelchair, dumped him out of it, and threw it to the side. Creigh accused Yi Min of manipulating Tsuyoshi, too, though Yi Min denied it. Yi Min accused Creigh of using pity to get him to the finals, and encouraged him to crawl to the finish line if he wanted the money so bad. As Creigh attempted to crawl the rest of the way, Yi Min told him he didn't deserve it and walked past him. Creigh had a meltdown, making Yi Min pause. Creigh shouted that he would never stop trying to get what he wanted. Yi Min turned around, picked up Creigh, brought him over to the finish line, and tossed him over it. Yi Min told him to leave him and his friends alone. Creigh defended himself saying he was only using strategy. Yi Min said that Creigh took dreams from everyone competing, and mentioned how he dreamed of going to college, too. Creigh began to feel guilty and offered to pay for Yi Min's schooling. Yi Min declined the offer, making Creigh feel more guilty. Chris then told Yi Min that there was a second place prize of five hundred thousand dollars. Yi Min accepted that and was congratulated by the others as they walked away from Creigh.

* Yi Min was not always planned to be in the final two of The All-Star story, but he ended up being in the finals for plot purposes. I also wanted to have a 'bromance' in the finals, though it was a fairly tainted one. I also wanted a good guy vs. bad guy type scenario, with Yi Min as the good guy.
* Yi Min getting conned had to do with his breakup with Priscilla, but also for Creigh to view him as an 'easy mark'. Creigh actually began to feel guilty about manipulating Yi Min and attempted to change his target to Jonathan, but voted out Jonathan after Jonathan thought that Creigh told everyone that he ran out of medication, and was planning to vote him out.
* Yi Min thinking Creigh was homosexual was not revealed early on, but hinted at when he apologized for putting his hand on Creigh's shoulder, and also quickly put on his shirt when Creigh went outside when he worked on his wheelchair ramp.
