Eva's return in TDI was random and not needed. She had no plot and didn't develope anymore. It irritated me less in Haute Camp-ture because she says she started to take anger management, which you can assume is because she was eliminated twice, but still, not needed.

Izzy's return in TDI is great. She had great interactions, great story, and overall was worth it.

Izzy's return in TDA was not necissary again. She didn't really develope much, and was gone again soon, although she did help with Justin's "am I not perfect" storyline, so okay, I can accept her return.

Courtney's debut in TDA was not needed. There was plenty of other characters that could have been antagonists, and all she did was whine the whole time (where's my priiiizzzeee, give me a priiiizzzeeee) but this isn't fair because I dislike Courtney and am really biased.

Owen's return in TDA wasn't bad, but was poorly done. If they had made him act more serious, it would have been fine, but considering his family was broke, and he still didn't act serious made me mad.

Ezekiel technically returned in TDWT. He was eliminated in Walk Like an Egyptian - Part 1 and Part 2, because after Duncan quits, he's allowed to return. Again, another one that was pointless. He didn't develope at all until after his elimination, and it just felt unrealistic.

Duncan's return in TDWT didn't bother me. He had plot and developement, so it was okay for me.

Blaineley's debut in TDWT seems unnecissary at first, but then you think and realize, it's her form of karma. She is considered a villain, and she often puts down the contestants as lower than her. What worse punishment then becoming one?

Dakota's return in TDRI was good. It developed her and Sam, and she realized there's more to life then just herself. While many people don't like her mutation (me included) it was important for her developement, and I think her return was good.

The Surfer Dude's return was random I thought, but because of the way they returned, it didn't bother me, and I count the Cadets' ending anyway, so it's fine with me.
