Very well-written, Nalyd. I feel that most of your points are really spot-on.

If I may, though, in defense of my favorite TDPI character, Jasmine; what I really enjoy about Jasmine (other than her relationship with Shawn and her brief friendship with Samey), is that even though she's clearly a very strong, athletic, clever, and independent Amazonian woman, she still has her faults. She literally is the perfect recipe for a total godplayer, and yet she's not - she wins her team's first (and only) two challenges, sure, but subsequently she ends up losing some of their challenges as well (such as Mo Monkey), and even comes close to elimination once or twice. Add this onto other faults such as her difficulty in making friends (due to being intimidating) and her hilarious display of claustrophobia, and I found her to be a very enjoyable girl with clear strengths and clear weaknesses, who proves to be both an idol to a "weaker" individual (in helping Samey stand up to her lifelong enemy), and being involved in one of the most well-written relationships ever.
