Is it a disaster if Karjakin wins the candidates tournament? Part 3

I've already done my bit on Anand (in the previous 2 parts) and don't feel like I need to justify my opinion here. 

 

 Carlsen is, yet again, a massive favorite if Karjakin is his challenger.  Isn't a disaster if Karjakin wins the candidates? Caruana looks like a far more interesting challenger.

If Karjakin wins the tournament then so be it. He completely deserves it. Aronian is just a hype. He's been repeatedly failing the past Candidates tournaments and he is currently in the last place in this one. Caruana is also a strong challenger but he had to prove himself by winning the tournament first. The tournament is fair and square. Everybody were given equal and fair chance to win the tournament. So blaming somebody for winning the tournament is a bad thing. Karjakin is a very strong player himself and I have a feeling that he can beat Carlsen this time around. He is a fighter and I root for him to win the world championship. But this is partly because I am bored of seeing Carlsen at the top of the hill. I want Carlsen to lose to Karjakin in the championship and make a fc**king strong comeback and take the throne next time while increasing his rating to 2900. All of this is my fantasy of course.

So far so good today. Hopefully Caruana can clinch with a victory today!

I agree. I wonder if there's anything we can do to help Caruana win, if for nothing else than to prevent Karjakin from winning.
