User blog comment:Berryleaf/Zoey: A Bad Character or Just Poorly Written??/@comment-24152851-20151130123943

Well Zoey could have been a okay/decent character, but she was used terribly. I didn't really have a problem with her in TDROTI, where she was there but nothing special. Although she was already problematic in that she had no depth whatsoever, and served as a satellite love interest to Mike.

TDAS is where her character really plummeted. She won challenge after challenge, with no explanation, kept pulling abilities out of nowhere, and at the cost of other characters getting screwed. Mike certainly didn't help, and probably made her 10X worse, but she wasn't brilliant on her own either. The writers didn't even try to hide their bias for her and the fact they had intended from the start for her to make it to the finale. Basically an embodiment of a Mary Sue.

I don't despise Zoey, but I don't really care for her either. I'm not big on her returning, but if she does, she had better be given some depth, cut back on godding, and above all NO MORE ZOKE.
