It's the drama. There have definitely been some questionable decisions made by the writers which have bugged me, such as:


 * The way they ruined Trent's personality and relationship with Gwen in TDA;
 * The unnecessary love triangle and how it turned Duncan into a cheating jerk, and;
 * The permanent transformations of some characters (mostly Dakota, but also Ezekiel).

That said, I still enjoyed all of the seasons, and I'm usually the first to jump to their defense if someone tries to say they sucked. But those decisions I mention above are ones that even I can't defend. :B

Perhaps future seasons could bring back underused competitors and give them another chance to shine in the spotlight. I think a lot of the fanbase would enjoy that.

(Also, I don't think ratings have really been a problem for the series. Rather, it's how some of the decisions have split the fanbase. In that regard though, I think the current season has been a step up from TDA and TDWT so far, although that's certainly subjective.)
