Well, Writers asked for negative trends. I mean, if they weren't this stubborn to pick only screenhoggers caring absolutely nothing for those undeveloped characters like Izzy (three seasons), Cody(protagonist of TDWT), Bridgette(three seasons), Brick(straight hero) and Dawn (the most goodhearted seen), that, with their original traits + being fanfavorites, could have provided for more decent and interesting plots than what seen in TDAS, that basically was a mah jong of couples, triangle, and overused conflicts like Gwen-Courtney, there would have not been all these issues and critiques.

Just the fact they picked Sierra, excluding Cody, but making her becoming obsessed with Cameron is a crystal example of their unforgivable confusion.

Definitely, they should have dropped down the idea to use screentime to pick the characters, and decide to pick who really had showed heroic/good traits (Izzy was a powerhouse against Chef, Dawn was the first to discover Scott's true intentions, and Brick sacrificed for his ex-temmates) and who had showed, on the opposite, villainous ones, even if the choice here would have been identical (except switch Gwen and Courtney) with only Justin (as fodder) to be added.
