When Samey eliminated Amy on Pahkitew Island, what has left on her? Nothing, it would just be moments of disguising Amy on the rest of the competition. Nothing ever developed on her when Amy left and even if it depends on how they were used, she might become a worse form of Mary Sue Zoey (even though I tolerate Zoey now, on ROTI at least).

Heather became an interesting protagonist because she was a villainy contestants. In other words, being a villain gave you more ways to develop more which the writers did flawlessly. Being a villain turning into a protagonist? That's one good story that I will read and/or watch!

Samey on the other hand had a boring backstory that I heard numerous times on fantasy books, and her being a protagonist makes her a bit too "perfect". It will feel like nothing's wrong with her except with her conflicts with Amy, and that's basically it.

Amy in my opinion, there's a hidden backstory that could be unfolded once she got another chance to compete. Development could happen on her because she only interacted with Samey, Jasmine and Rodney. There could be a twist of turns where Samey was the adored one by her parents, so Amy tried to make up things so that she was the better twin. Lots of thing could happen on her, while Samey developing will taste dull and bland. For me, at least.

But I will still respect your opinion, but I just need to speak up against Samey being a great protagonist.
