Owen was the MASCOT of TDI back then, and the fact that everyone else was trying to win and Owen just wanted to have fun was great, and he ended up winning, I wanted Gwen to win, because, she was pretty much the opposite but developed so much as a character.

Duncan was ew. Beth did nothing. Alejandro got so lucky many times, Owen did also but the difference between the seasons showed that they should have learned from poor writing, evident from the beginning even. Heather I wanted to win, I really did, and Al shouldn't have even HAD an ending.

The finale itself in TDWT was ATROCIOUS, so it kind of hindered the finalists potential.
