User blog comment:King Flurry51/Why they should not use Gwen & Company again for the new season/@comment-4726418-20170512134425/@comment-25297892-20170517114728

Let me recap that Owen and Duncan merged in three seasons consequentially (TDI, TDA and TDWT) that are the longest ones, TDI and TDWT got very similar merges if we don't consider new characters Al & Sierra + Cody, Izzy, Bridgette, Leshawna and DJ that were Heather, Owen, Duncan, Gwen and Courtney and three of these were also the final 5 of Action and in TDAS they merged again. My complaint about the big 5 is that they have already received a satisfying amount of screentime very concentrated in the first three seasons and then in TDAS, so they don't need more for a bit and writers should leave a full season to the others, most of all in terms of placements. It's ridiculous that Duncan placed 4th, 1st, 5th and 7th in all the seasons he participated. I understand he's as tough contestant, important and blablabla but even Gwen and Heather didn't place everytime past the merge! And most of his placements have been a theft to other characters (Lindsay, Harold, the same Courtney, Noah, Tyler, exc..)
