MOR - Middle of the Road

Definition: A character, within the episode, that says and does more than a UTR edit, but is lacking in character development (ie. we still don't know anything about them or what makes them tick). MOR edits are not oversimplified into OTT nor are they well-rounded into CP. In terms of story, these characters tend towards being a supporting character, the "narrator" or the "survivor is great" commentator. They can be described as being somewhat "bland" or "just sort of there". This edit may contain "very strategic" moments, but without the emotional and intellectual insights necessary for a complex edit.

The character...

    had some confessionals and/or TC questions and/or camp discussions; Confessionals and other discussions generally appear to be reporting or "fluffy" in nature; may have some strategy, but without the necessary thought processes / choices / internal conflict
    received moderate to significant screen/face time and may have done something notable, but overall, there was a lack in quality... ie. no obvious commentary on the action, no relevant background info, and/or no internal thought processes; May have received UNUSUAL FOCUS during group encounters, BUT this focus was likely linked to someone else and was used as a tool to shine light elsewhere.
    will likely have had some sort of "role" or part in the episode, but it was as a secondary or supporting role. ie. the immediate story DIDN'T particularly involve them, so they were just there; or the immediate story DID involve them, but this character couldn't "escape" inclusion in the story and we heard very little on their feelings/thoughts on the event; they feel like they are "on hold"
    may or may not have received SPV from another player(s).

Note: Winners are often portrayed as MOR at some point in the story due to the necessity of cooling down, story-wise. However, a consistently MOR edit is not a good thing either, because these characters end up being "just kind of there".
