User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 1)/@comment-24971793-20140825192141/@comment-24971793-20140825221805

Yeah, it was a possibility to add Owen and do a double elimination somewhere. So they would still have had their 7 ROTI contestants. Like have a contestant voted out + disqualification of Owen for stealing some of the food from the challenge.

Brick didn't have to be elimination fodder. But with the storylines they where going for he probably would have been, since Jo was now in conflict with Lightning, adding Brick to that might have been too much since they just had 2-3 episodes. I don't think he had any personal development plotlines going on (Nor does he need any, he's perfect), so that's a difficult angle. A possibility is that he could have been Courtney's crush instead of Scott since he does in fact like being dominated by bossy women (unlike Scott for whom it was severe character derailment). Both of them being on the heroes team would have also given the relationship more time to develop. But in this case their wouldn't be much plot possibilities for Scott...

Camcody was bad for anyone involved, the writers probably thought it would be a funny storyline after they did some intense sharpie sniffing but... it crossed a line.
