Dude, people hate the concept of screenhogs because they end up a complete mess. So far nothing good has come out of having these characters excessively used, and they end up derailed, flanderized, and overall screwed up. (Gwen and Courtney are prime examples of this.)

There needs to be BALANCE. Sure, they don't have to completley mix up the contestants and give everyone equal screen time, but they don't need to have Courtney, Gwen, Duncan, and Heather be on the screen for every five seconds.

If popularity is more important than what a character can add to the story, then they need to get their priorities in check.

If they just kept the 22 character format, they could fit in plenty. This idotic 13 episode format is part of the problem.

You use Dakota getting mutated as an example. What a disgusting sendoff that would be for a character..

They do not need to be introducting new characters. Sure it's a parody, but it's also a 'cartoon. 'The important part is telling a good and entertaining story. And these characters they aren't using are wasted material. Characters like Courtney, Gwen, and Duncan end up with repetitve stories as a result of overuse. They are making it harder on themselves by doing this.
