Somebody clearly wanted Mike and Zoey to be the focus again and ultimately the victors.

But didn't we already cover their romance arc once already?

They are both newbies who both made it to the finale, no veterans were actually finalists.

Why? Seems to go against the entire point of both the name "All-Stars" and the crossover concept.

They didn't develop Mike or Zoey; Mike was an ineffective villain who was still all about Zoey and little else and was not a true participant in the game while Mal was in control. And Zoey on top of going from naive to just plain clueless was really "godplayed" from having won nearly half the challenges in the whole season.

I don't get it. That seems counterproductive to actually making their victory in the game appear legit or in making them people we should've rooted for.

And why was Sam in this? I still find it hard to believe that he was "funnier to write for" as was apparently said, especially since he wasn't all that funny in the final cut. And if it's true that Brick or Anne Maria got passed up for him, then that's a serious bummer.

It's questions like that you just have to ask about why they did it the way they did it, even though these are questions I know everyone has asked.
