They could have done something great with Lightning. They could of had Lightning break down into tears after Cam stole his victory. He could have been upset that he "kept losing" and starts breaking down. Then his actions in the next two episodes could have been justified. Instead, the writers continued with Lightning just being a stupid meathead for the rest of the season.

@Fire Eater. My point is that the writers clearly had a great character in mind when they wrote Zoey. But she came out all wrong and ended up contradicting everything she said and did. She would have random moments of meanness, confessionals full of unfunny jokes, and a story arc that just seemed to drag on forever and ever. And her story arc wasn't worth the buildup.
