#pt au

• Everyone is so confused when Alejandro was introduced as the Super Fan and Sierra the honor roll student. They fully believed Chris was pranking them or really just got the information wrong. When it was confirmed he was not wrong they were shocked.

• Cast and teams are the same as the show (No Eva 🥲 or Trent 😔)

• Kind of like my FYE AU and a couple others, Noah is way more apathetic about others except for Owen and Izzy. So he's not too bothered by Alejandro eliminating all this competition but he does get mad about their losing streak. Alejandro overheard him complaining about it to Izzy and all of a sudden they were winning challenges. Noah never chalked it up to Alejandro overhearing that discussion. He just thought Alejandro noticed his team's frustration and wanted to please them. Either way...he wasn't going to complain.

• Alejandro has a lot of knowledge like Sierra did in the show but instead of spouting it out like she tends to do, he keeps it to himself unless he can use it. Sometimes he does slip up and mention something but he's so charming that he can make the person the fact was about believe they told him that information.

• Sierra is having so much fun and she is genuinely stoked about making so many friends! But she can't help how in edge Alejandro makes her. Also Heather keeps claiming she's "on to" Sierra no matter how many times Sierra has tried to explain she's not up to anything.

• Though Sierra likes interacting with everyone (minus a couple obvious ones), she's super awkward with Chris. She remembers a little of her mom and what she does remember is how all consuming her obsession with Chris McLean was. Hell, her dad even looked like Chris which was apparently the only reason her mom went out with him!

She vaguely remembers her mom not being happy she came out looking like her and not her dad at all. It was a big reason why her dad fought for custody so hard.

• Sierra does try to befriend Noah, and he's a little fond of her but not enough to declare her a friend. But she is persistent but Alejandro always somehow ends up by them even if he didn't start there and takes Noah's attention away from her.

The look in his eyes is very similar to her mother and she's a little frightened but she doesn't have any freaking proof! And the guy is so well liked!

Sierra declares to herself that she will expose whatever is wrong with the charmer!

• Owen gets out earlier in this au because Alejandro is a jealous hoe.

• Heather is very suspicious of both Alejandro and Sierra and doesn't really know where to focus her attention so she ends up missing important moments that she will absolutely be pissed about when she watches the show back.

• Izzy also senses something off about Alejandro so she's very protective of Noah. If Owen doesn't take the seat next to him in first class she claims in for herself. And if they're in economy class she makes sure Owen takes one side and she takes the other.

• Alejandro is ITCHING to update all his blogs! So much is happening and he wants to let his followers know! He laments the fact he can't update them in the confessional a lot when he's not plotting, but he does note down anything he wants to update later in one of his notebooks.

• Alejandro does slip up in the confessional from time to time by gushing about something Noah had done or said that he thought was cute. Viewers just think he has a crush and ship it hard.

• Noah: that Latino man is a bit of a freak... but I'm into it. (Even if he knows or not XD he of course notices that something is off about Alejandro. )

• Alejandro absolutely uses all his knowledge of everyone to stir up trouble/drama which Chris loooooves. What he does not love however is the attention the charming super fan gives Noah. He can't quite put his finger on it, but something about it disturbs him. Chef thinks it's just because his husband has emotionally adopted the snark (and he did as well so yeah he's also feeling protective).

• do y'all think Noah should know that Alejandro is obsessed with him or not?
