Duncan's storyline was very dry soon after the merge came around, and he did not need to make it too deep in the merge. It would have been nice to see more of Lindsay without Heather in the season, but Duncan is a writers pet, so he lasted longer.

His relationship with Courtney was not going anywhere in Total Drama Action, and his conflict with Harold was starting to sizzle too. It would have been nice to see Courtney compete without Duncan as well, but he lasted longer because he is a writers pet. Lindsay should have made it farther.

I am one who thought that Blaineley should never have returned, but Duncan definitely should have went a bit sooner. His plot (the triangle) ended within 3 episodes he returned. So why did he last 5 episodes more?

I do agree that Lighting should have went in Episode 7, but I do not see how Anne Maria should have been a finalist. She is not a strong competitor, and has a horrible social game. It was definitely a missed opportunity that they did not do more with her and Zoey's conflict. Maybe if Lightning's conflicts with Jo and Cameron started earlier, than it would have been better for him to last longer.

I did not care for any of the final 5, and was so out of the season by then, so whatever would happen I did not feel any way for. Courtney should have been a finalist though.
