@Attackin, Well, Dawn was only eliminated one episode before Sam, and he made it in. As for Eva, I really just needed one more female "villain."

@Your Highness, Mo, you make a good point. The Surfer's victory didn't bother me all that much however. Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of Ridonculous Race to begin with. I could see how that could bug people, but I'd try to make sure Ezekiel a reason to return (having to pay off his financial medical debt to Chris) unlike the Surfers in RR.

As for characters not deserving All Star status, I mainly figured that if they'd made the merge once, they qualified, then I allowed a few exceptions (Anne Maria, Dawn, Eva, and Ezekiel. The latter of which did make it through a whole season, even though he wasn't competing, or at least that was the thought behind it.)

As for Cody, yeah, I thought of that, but I figured that sight repetition was worth it in the long run, as he fit the role a lot more than Cameron, in my opinion.
