I'm not sure if I've ever seen a troll as big as him, not on the wiki at least. Seriously, that guy seriously puts Solar to shame, and that's really saying something.

Oh sorry not Runaway Model, I meant Backstabbers Ahoy. You added in Anne Maria calling Cameron a brainiac. I'm actually not quite done with Al and Ty, but if I made a mistake somewhere feel free to go in and change it. I'm honestly not sure why we don't have that page already, their interaction was more significant than Al and Noah.

With Leonard, I absolutely hated him before the season aired. The only reason I warmed up to him a bit was, I'm impressed by the voice Cle pulled off while playing him. I just wasn't expecting Leonard would have that voice, and it made me see his character in a different light. Though I think it's safe to say he's the least popular character in the whole season. Every other unpopular character has a mix of fans and haters, but he has almost no fans at all, other than Summer and Solar (who has an obsession with fodder characters).

Hmm, yes I thought it'd be something like that. That's pretty much what I thought about Lindsay when I first started on the wiki, but I felt pressured to put her up high since she was so popular around here. I was worried I'd be killed where I stood if I didn't say I liked her. I often couldn't understand why people love dumb characters that much, I thought it might be because seeing them made themselves feel smarter. I know Lindsay and Lightning are funny, but they're so popular they're practically worshipped. All Lindsay does is be stupid, but she's treated like a goddess. While I can understand if people like dumb characters (even though Zoey was hated in TDAS for that reason), is it really necessary to treat them like rock stars or they've just won the noble prize? ''Have you seen Fiz's profile? It's one giant shrine to Lindsay.'' If being dumb in real life could earn so much love, than the world would be a very different place.

Another thing with dumb characters is it's so hard to give them any depth. They're just a one-track gag character. They’re great for fodder or comic relief, but it just gets weird if they're made the protagonist or antagonist, since dumb characters just drift through the season and have little justification as to how they make it far. There's a bit of that with Owen as well, but at least he can contribute to the team (dominating in eating challenges and being good at dodgeball). Lindsay and Lightning were only kept around for the lols. Lindsay's only good with challenges involving fashion, and any other challenge she wins (which is so many) is just by dumb luck since to the writers want to keep her around.

Having said that, I still keep her high-ish because I can't deny that Lindsay has made me laugh quite a few times in TDI. I have to give her that much credit at least. But I'm not too fond of depthless character who drift, with Owen being exception, which is why I don't put her in my favorites like most people do. If she gets brought back, I wish she could get a bit of development outside her one-track dumb blonde persona. Really don't think it's asking much for her to get just a bit more depth to her character.

LINDSAY RANT OVER

Oh right thanks fixed it. I just copied over some of the ROTI rankings and forgot to change a few.
