It wasn’t shocking that 28 Years Later, the sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, wasn’t the typical zombie movie or franchise follow-up fans might have anticipated. Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland rarely deliver predictable films, especially when working together. They filled 28 Years Later with meaningful ideas and striking visuals, making it a film more focused on dealing with loss than simply surviving the infected. However, for many viewers, these ambitious themes were overshadowed by something else entirely: the prominently displayed physique of the character Samson (Chi Lewis-Parry).

Michael Rapaport, who quickly became known as the most obvious “traitor” on the show, was finally voted out after five episodes of being intimidating and confrontational. The person who led the charge to eliminate him was Colton Underwood, considered by many, especially fans of The Bachelor, to be the season’s second biggest villain. The final discussion of episode five turned into a heated argument, with Michael desperately trying to turn the group against Colton, while the rest of the cast seemed determined to get rid of him. In the end, Colton succeeded, and when Michael revealed he wasn’t actually a traitor, the others barely reacted, seemingly happy to see him go.
