Thank you! In fact, I'm planning to make a new blog (/series?) about who may return in the future seasons (as we're supposedly gonna have 10 of them) and what could be their plots. However, it'll be about 52 contestants and I have only a few weeks for this before going back to school. But I can continue that once I'll have some free time, I guess.

Well, both were placed on Mutant Maggots, superior team of the season. Both were the highest-ranking contestants after Dakota (who's now a mutant so she can't compete, I guess). Also, as I've written on a few of my blogs they have a pattern of bringing back a few non-mergers for their second season. It sounds weird as Brick and Jo wouldn't have much interaction and there wouldn't be much occasion to continue Zoey-Mike-Anne triangle due to being on different teams, as well as no Vito around. Well, Annie still can interact with Jo.But I guess Sam is even more out-of-place.

Well, Beth wouldn't have anyone to interact with as Lindsay's obvious fodder and Courtney in the earliest version would be on Villains team from the beginning. Same with Heather of course. As for Leshawna, she also wouldn't have anyone on the Heroes to interact with. If she was on the Villains, it'd be kinda crowded with conflicts (although Anne Maria would have the same amount of them, so...). But I'd love to see Leshawna interact with Mal! :D

And of course, as you noticed, they wanted it to be equal. 13 episodes season is also not helping. That's why we have no Leshawna, Beth, Harold, or Izzy. And Gwen back then.
