I have yet to see what's truly godawful about Noah in Ridonculous Race. The snark and wit haven't gone way, not has his reluctant bond with Owen. Sure it gets sappy but I can stomach Noah's crush on Emma. It's nowhere near the worst pairing in either series. Doesn't seem like a valid reason to lose all love for Noah. Why is it so horrible if he likes someone for a change?

Duncan's a great player but I couldn't care less about him. I hated him for what he did in TDWT and I am sick of the show always finding a new excuse to come right back to him. It also made for one of the worst arcs in World Tour, it's simply not something I appreciate. In TDI and TDA I admired what a pragmatic player he was, and I would've forgiven him in TDWT if he had broke things off with Courtney instead of cheating on her. Would not have been pretty, but at least she couldn't use that against him. Instead he, Gwen, and Courtney all took a turn for the worst because of his actions. He wasn't good in TDAS but his ending is just ridiculous. Even Duncan deserves a better exit than what the writers were willing to give in that season.

Gwen went from my absolute favorite to one of my most hated. She is horribly inconsistent and like Duncan and Courtney is mostly brought back just for drama's sake, and her character is just a mess because of it. I liked her spirit and skill in TDI, but as the entire obsession with Duncan came up as well as her breakup with Trent, it's just been downhill from there. Also, like Courtney, she can be a massive hypocrite and a poor friend. Even her breakup with Duncan feels like another jerk move for her. Her utter lack of concern for either Duncan or Courtney after things went south in TDAS was the last straw for me. I just have no idea who or what Gwen is now. And I don't think the writers do either.

Sky isn't the most compelling but she doesn't deserve to be the most hated. She tried to say her piece to Dave about already having a boyfriend but he never let her finish. And later she spelled out to him that she was fed up with him. Really her actions in the finale seem to be where all the hate comes from, Dave made their relationship impossible, Sky at least kind of came to terms with this even though she did handle it quite poorly. The entire thing with Keith is one of the dumbest moments in the show, and I can't really hold it against her as I chalk that one up to bad writing.

Mike is incredibly bland, and what makes it worse is how much they hoped we'd fall in love with him if they just kept pushing him onto us. We still don't know much about Mike himself without his personalities and other than that it's all about Zoey, and vice versa. Mal was one of the worst things to come out of the show, as was the reset button that destroyed him, and we have Mike's brainless presence to thank for that. He's one of the big reasons why All-Stars sucked, and I don't want him shoved down my throat again unless the writers intend to actually develop him. Even then, I say too little too late.
