@Fire, The Ridonculous Race was Owen's best season since Island, but after about six years of being nothing but a flat gimmicky character (and even still to an extent in RR with him randomly farting in the plane in Down and Outback being a perfect example) it came across as too little too late and I'd still prefer that they simply retire him at this point.

@Clyde, Outside of being referenced occasionally after being eliminated, I don't consider Beardo to be a Writer's Pet. Regarding Pahkitew Island, that title belongs to Max and possibly Sugar.
