And if they already had "plans" about what they where going to do with those contestants then that does lower the chance RR contestants will appear in the first upcoming season of TD. Also makes me wonder if maybe any of those balloon contestants where just added to the AS season cause the writers had plans for them for the future (mainly Sam).

Being in duo's allows faster development/interactions since the pairs probably already have a history (conflict/relationship) going on. But we'll also get +/- double the amount of contestants (I thought it was somewhere around 40). Also there's a risk that those conflicts would result in the contestants not showing much personality outside of them (like Amy and Samey). Commercially speaking I think it would be most profitable if they designed some of the early out's with the intention to bring them back and expand on them, possibly in TD (although looking at the history they'll probably just fill it up with gimmicks instead).

Normally they only have 16 year olds + Blaineley compete in TD. So older characters could be a problem. But I can imagine several of the duo's being a 16 year old with their parent, family member, friend, partner,... . So that only the 16 year old would show up in TD. I don't think they'll have many (if any) duo's where both contestant's are going to be adults, and if they do I think those will be fodder.
