User blog comment:Epic~00/Epic Analyzes: Possible Returning Contestants/@comment-25297892-20160328171808

I agree on most of the things you said about the RR Teams, even if I think Carrie & Devin are done both because their characters revolved only on their plot and because they were the most backlashed from the audience along with Daters/Haters, that I hope to not return anymore. Jacques & Josèe will be sure booked again for a possible RR 2 along with Cadets and Pros (unless Noah and Owen are planned to be in next TD season, that's likely to happen) but Dancers and Cadets can be only used in RR format successfully (it would be boring to see only Jacque or Sanders in a season without their complementary partners). I don't know about Laurie, her character was very flat until she wasn't forced to eat meat, but is this enough to consider her interesting? Hmm... honestly we got already our vegans Bridgette and Dawn, whose popularity is huge. Goths have to return split: or Crimson or Ennui, not together. One of them has all the cards to become a TD contestant, same goes for Sisters. I expect more of Emma and Noah and MORE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT for each of them because they're fanfavorites and there are lot of interactions Kitty and Emma should get with TD chars. Surfer Dudes... no, please. Geoff return brought nothing new to his character and Brody was Tyler 2.0 (your dumb, generous, average, pain magnet jock). Therefore, they have no reasons to come back not in TD neither in RR 2.

First Generation:

Blaineley can't return for another TD season, her only purpose was to fill the space in TDWT merge and she left no mark on the competition. She could be back in a RR season, tough, but, honestly, there are plenty of better 1 gen chars they should pick. Katie & Sadie are made for RR series but how much we could stand them again? They LACK of any relevant trait than fan-gushing over guys and being dumb as Lindsay. Writers should really do lot of work on them but I don't think they ever cared much. (See what they did with Leonard, using him twice as fodder, a record no other char than Zeke has achieved so far). Eva was rendered completely obsolete by Jo, was never an appealing character, has a little no less fandom...unless E-Scope Team fans... no chance.

Tyler...nice thought here! I didn't notice that the three "claimed favorites" of TDWT are having a pattern: Cody floa-ahem-shone in TDWT, Noah got finally his deserved screentime and development with RR, so Tyler remains. I would be interested to see what they can do with him, just one problem: unlike Cody and Noah, there are many characters similar to Tyler in being dumb jocks accident proned (Brick, Brody, Lightning, Geoff, Ryan...) so he would need a ton of development to exploit his chance.

Alejandro is quite done in my opinion, by All Stars he lost the most of his "evil traits". If he returns, he must get new interactions and plots alone without Heather. Agree on Bridgette and Harold. If Izzy returns will she finally get a true chance or will be used again as random early fodder? I'm waiting for a season where she doesn't get eliminated early only to return later and be eliminated again -.-.

Second Generation:

You didn't mention Jo, that could easily return as a secundary villain or as a main one (considering her epic fail in TDAS) OR in RR forming a team with Brick given they're the II generation "Pros" (a very famous and beloved pair like Noah & Owen). Anne Maria...meh. I can't see any future for her, but if she returns, amen.

Third Generation:

Sugar is as loved by the Writers as backlashed by the fans (in generally and mostly in Italy where everyone cheered at her boot), unfortunately I can see her return soon and that's all. I'm prepared for a new season of toilet jokes and gross gags and nonsense all over. Ah ah, how funny. I can't hold the laughters. I'm also ready to see Skave again because this was always a pattern of main couples, being focused again the season after the first or to be broken or to be confirmed (Gwentrent, Duncney, Gwuncan, Zoke...) and this time I hope the karma gets the right target: Sky. By the way, do we really need another season of toxic lovestoryline after Pahkitew?

Only Samey should return but people like catty females more, so let's get more of Alpha Amy... Agree on Jasmine and Shawn. I'd like to see Topher come back, too, maybe with a new target and storyline and MORE INTERACTIONS. Blaineley & Topher is a pair I would like to try in RR 2, their name would be "The Aspirant Hosts." They both tried to get Chris job at one point and/or they were his direct rivals in hosting but both failed and got tricked by Chris.
