See? What Jayden said, Jayden knows what I mean. And to answer your question Jayden, Cody was all over Gwen, but since she never returned his feelings, he instead got her together with Trent as a gesture of goodwill, and he was totally content with having earned her friendship in doing so, and by the sound of it they still hold a strong respect each other if Gwen's comment in TDAS is anything to go by. In TDI Cody did well. He was a bit of a love or hate character in TDWT, depending on whether you could stand his stalking or not.

Well, Lindsay did stop taking orders from Heather and never fell for her obvious evil again.

Well TDIFan13, the negatives as far as I can see outweight the positives, which is why I am forced to lay out all the negatives first. If there were more positives to talk about, those would be the first things I'd list.

Cody and Sierra shouldn't be together, that girl's really becoming dangerous. As Chris said, "We should only bring back the sane contestants". God, I can't believe I agree with Chris on something.

While most of what you said are positives I suppose, they are overwhelmed by the sheer number of negatives. And the ending of that season felt like the last nail in a very big casket. Forgive my pessimism, but it was a bad memory.

Well let's clear up that one count. In case I confused anyone, I am not against the characters screwing up once in a while and enduring a crisis over it, but they have to actually develop and learn something from those experiences. Most of those conflicts and mistakes were never resolved and no one learned much anything by the end of TDWT, and by TDAS' end, I still don't think they did. Gwen, Courtney, and Duncan's behavior I found especially disgusting in TDWT. Granted, I sympathized with Courtney the most, but her handling of the situation was not good. And since Gwen and Duncan never expressed romantic interest for the majority of their time together and he hadn't expressed any before quitting the third season, their sudden affection for each other felt too sudden. And I won't even get started on the whole unfaithfulness card.

The point is, in case anyone misunderstood, I am not against the characters screwing up, but they have to grow from their experiences in a meaningful way and learn from them somehow. The fact is, I hated World Tour because it left so much unresolved and no one developed meaningfully once the most infamous conflicts broke out.

I give Bridgette credit for fessing up to her mistake, she was one of the only ones to grow from that experience, as much as I will never ever forgive the pole incident.
