User blog comment:Jakusz/If Beth debuted in Niagra Brawls instead of Blaineley/@comment-27329394-20140930014056/@comment-24152851-20140930034135

I’m having doubts over whether Blaineley was intended to debut in the first place. She doesn’t appear in the opening sequence, unlike Courtney did in TDA. Her being a contestant felt really pointless, she didn’t do anything except annoy every other contestant, and it was so obvious her time was short. I sort of agree with the information thing, but she didn’t have to be a contestant for that, for that matter it didn’t even have to be her.

I don’t see why Blaineley is better than Beth, appearance aside Beth is hated for being boring in TDA, but I don’t see how being painstakingly annoying is that much better. Beth still had far more interactions and contribution to the plot, Blaineley didn’t really have any memorable moments except on the several occasions where she was being humiliated. I still cannot for the life of me understand why she’s a contestant in the firs place when she’s old enough to be Chris’s mother. Any of the other contestants who were given the second chance were a better choice than her, IMO. That’s my take on it.
