"Drama isn't good if it requires undoing whole characters and their development to get it."

Clearly it is as TDWT is considered a top tier season (usually #1 or #2 in rankings) by a large majority of fans.

"Gwuncan really doesn't have much more meat on it than Zoke. Why? Because it's mostly based on how they look together, and had comparably less interaction and buildup than either Gwent or Duncney."

Are you kidding me? Gwen and Duncan had so much chemistry in the two seasons before it. I mean, they were practically twins in Hook Line and Screamer with common interests and close friends. It just continued on and on from there with that TDA aftermath and being really close with him during her short stay in TDA, and just basically continued on post Celebrity Manhunt. They were a much more stable couple than Duncney, as both could be honest and natural with each other and wouldn't force one to change and could be mature in their relationship (well... TDAS dropped that quite a bit.)

"After the guy quit, they had no interaction at all until he showed up and then they're a couple."

Gwen and Duncan were pretty close in the TDWT premiere, which made Courtney jealous. Besides, during the whole Where is Duncan fiasco, Gwen was just as intent on finding him, even more than Courtney was. Sierra alluded to this heavily, and Gwen's body language in reaction was well, pretty guilty when things like this were brought up. She's clearly been crushing on him for a while.

"Gwen would never commit such an act if she were at all like her TDI self."

That doesn't make sense. Gwen was arguably the most selfish out of all her seasons in TDI, and just didn't care. She was this goth rebel who did what she wanted and ranted about her problems in life and blah blah blah. She was also selfish in TDA too, but then it toned down in TDAS.

"And Courtney was rebounding from TDA just fine until that all happened and unraveled them both."

Courtney wasn't as antagonistic in TDWT, but she still had a very similar personality, but her actually having a friend on her team she could talk to is probably why she wasn't as cranky and annoyed. She still bossed arond for leadership, acted selfish and complained a lot.

"They've been on a downward spiral ever since. And that's not worth that drama, that's just a total lack of character consistency." Love Triangle had nothing to do with the recent inconsistancy, that's the writers' faults.
