No -- he's not there yet.
His idol is no good and if the others are smart they will realize that if his idol was any good then he would not have tried so hard to win this challenge which I'm betting he loses and would not be crying like the baby he swears on afterwards.
He is in the finals, whether we like it or not :/
On the other hand, you brought up a point that made me dislike him in the first place... He was lying off his butt, but ‘swearing’ on family members (real/alive AND deceased)... THAT p!ssed me off.. :/
