Despite the fact that Bridgette us my favorite character, and I feel Gwen is by far the worse character, I REALLY missed Island were friendships didn't seem so forced. In RoTI we had the annoying trio, and honestly no other friendships. And in TDPI we did have Jasmine and Samey <3, but that is honestly it.

But back to the topic, I miss Bridgette, Gwen, and Leshawna and Geoff, Dj, and Duncan. With out a doubt, we can all agree all six of these characters have only gotten worse since Island, and it is really because so much of there character revolved around friendship, when future seasons only seemed to care about romantic relationships.
