The saddest elimination in my opinion was Courtney in TDAS. I don't care about her divisive status or if I get mocked. It was one of the most brutal character derailments I've seen from this series, and I hate how that one episode fried an entire season of progress in finally leveling out her personality and in building her relationships with several people, not to mention finally admitting her thing with Duncan was over. Things were finally coming together and then this unravels all of it, playing up her worst traits in a complete 180 just to justify an entire episode aimed squarely at bringing her down and sending her out on the most pitiful note possible. I couldn't stand how how they ganged up on her and sent her out in such a disgusting manner, and having everyone barely give it a second glance almost immediately after despite everything that had taken place earlier. They had a chance to break the cycle and instead they voided her entire purpose in this season. No upsides whatsoever, this show's had some highly manipulative finales and debacles, but this was too much and uncalled for.
