User blog comment:Thedramamaster/Top 5 most overhated characters/@comment-31556666-20160723131815

tl;dr incoming!

5. RR Noah is an RR character whom I ALMOST disliked. This is because at first he's a generally funny characer and I liked his and Owen's moments, such as when Owen accidentally ate Beary and squeeze hugged Noah out of nervousness. Then almost halfway into Noah's time into competing, he develops an attraction to Emma. I, like many, found this to be an extremely bland relationship at first with no real reason why they like each other so much. Then I actually started to like it a bit when Noah was doing so much self-sacrifice for her and how we got to see a more awkward side of both of them that their partners Kitty and Owen brought the best out of. I liked Emma trying to save Noah from elimination. I liked Owen's speech to Noah about winning the challenge in I Love Ridonc & Roll. That moment was totes emosh. So I was leaning more towards liking this couple. Then their relationship got a little shafted for three episodes with like one minor moment between them.

But Maori or Less really was when I just gave up. I get that Noah's never been in a relationship, but the way they made his relationship with Emma was way too over-the-top and didn't really give the relationship much relatability to stand on. Their lovey-dovey talk was really annoying, and though I know that it's meant to be annoying for Kitty and Owen to watch, it was made so annoying that the viewers were equally as genuinely frustrated about this as they were. Because there's no human moments with Nemma. Their personalities are way too similar. They lack banter, unlike pretty much all other relationships (even Zoke and Scourtney had some joking moments around each other). Nemma is just an over-emotional chore to sit through. Got Venom was easily what I found to be the weakest episode of the season, since Nemma were annoying but I also noticed that Noah actually has revolved around her so much that his interaction with Owen has just been dropped. Owen gets unnecessary painful treatment for really not much good reason and I have to watch Noah just awkwardly watch. This tells me Noah's a good supporting character but I really can't get behind him being a main one. Maybe for one or two episodes, but not for multiple ones. RR is my favourite season but Noah just made it feel a bit slow at times sadly.

4. I personally really like Duncan. I'm not a big fan of him in TDA but I can find some great things about him in other seasons. I like that his personality is this delinquent, yet someone who's straight with people and has a straightforward and likable viewpoint on things (despite him being a criminal lol.) I like that he likes to act like this tough guy when he really is just this softy who's prone to caring about others. Also WT Duncan is good! I have to say that now. People complain that he hogged a load of screentime and got final 5 again but like... he competed for 10 episodes? In fact, he competed in only EIGHT episodes if you don't count the Aftermath: Revenge Of The Telethon or the last three minutes of I See London.... I think people just ASSUME he hogged screentime due to his placing. Plenty say Tyler and Noah should've took his place in the final 5 but I really don't agree. If you look at WT closely, they're both supporting characters, and not major supporting characters like TDI Owen for instance. They had a few humorous moments every so often and that was it. Tyler may have had an alliance with Alejandro but that really wasn't that fleshed out. He just liked Alejandro because. Duncan, Owen, and Alejandro playing mind games was what was actually fleshed out. 5th place is fine for Duncan because Alejandro was determined on taking Owen out more than him, and Blaineley and Courtney were both generally disliked by fellow contestants and were easy people to vote off.

People also find him unlikable in the season, what with kissing Gwen, but again, I really disagree. I'll admit, what he did was a heinous act but he weirdly gets the treatment from fans here that Gwen gets in the show (remember when she got booed in an aftermath lol. who gets booed in an aftermath episode?) Duncan kissed Gwen because Courtney was annoying the living crap out of him. She repeatedly tried changing who he was and was pretty much attempting to turn him into her. She hated when he acted like himself. She manipulated his emotions to her advantage which he clearly realizes since he voted her off in Top Dog. She physically injured him over the smallest things. She whacked his "kiwis" with a guitar just because he called her baby doll! If you're going to say Duncan is a horrible human being, at least say the same about Courtney and Gwen. Plus the three of them are all TEENAGERS. We have to remember that. They're all irresponsible and haven't matured enough in life to understand it enough. This is especially true for Duncan since he's spent so much of his life in juvy without maturing too much in the real world morally.

3. Gwen is a weird character for me to talk about. I loved her in TDI because her introverted self could be related to by anyone and they were clearly trying to present her as someone who the audience understood better than anyone as she's received the most focus out of everyone in the season. She gets a little forgotten about in TDA and TDWT but I actually still liked her in these seasons. She had to deal with a tough relationship in TDA as we saw her mindset on the whole Gwent situation. She had to adapt to a situation that weirded her out and I think it was presented very well. She also just feels more grown up in this season and has become just so down-to-earth and a mature person. She might be accused of "boring" having said that but I can't agree since she still gets involved in plenty of drama early on. Her and Trent actually got a lot more focus than most contestants in the first few episodes of TDA. WT is the same and I still liked her. She got in another messy situation and we got to understand her better about it. She's probably my 7th or 8th favorite of the season. AS Gwen is awful though and I'd put her in the same league as Mike, Cameron, and Zoey.

2. Sky is another weird character for me. I personally LOVE Skave and the conflict it brought to PI and it really was a completely original and unpredictable storyline. She did remind me a little of TDA Gwen in this season. My problem with Sky though is that her relationship is mostly ALL she does. I mean, she becomes friends with Jasmine and gains a temporary alliance with Sugar for like one episode but these are both minor things. I just don't see her having much of a personality outside of this whole relationship drama, and in a season like PI with big personalities, that really goes against Sky. I'm neutral towards her but I do forget about her easily despite her amazing storyline.
