As others said, agreed with pretty much everything aside from Cody's case. Sure, you can rank 3rd place and be a finalist in a different season on TD (Owen, Heather and Zoey proved that), but Cody's case is different. He ranked 3rd place while making it to the final episode. And unlike the Ice Dancers, he was even an option to vote for in online votings for the winner, even though he didn't have his ending. As a result, I doubt he'd be allowed to be become a finalist after that. Especially after how he was cut from TDAS because the creators thought his (main) plot with Sierra was already over (even though it still had some potential).
