Honestly, I find this cast MUCH more relatable, interesting, and sweet than the TDROTI cast. Like, I feel like Brick, Jo, Scott, and Cameron were the only beneficial cast members of TDROTI. The rest either sucked, or had no relevance.

TDPI has given every character, minus Beardo, a chance to shine, since everyone has a lot of interactions. Sammy and Dawn were both eliminated in episode 5 of their respective seasons, and Sammy had a WAY more elaborate and played out storyline than... Dawn's nonexisting story arc. Mike and Zoey only talked to each other and nobody else. Here, the so called "TDPI equivalent" of Zoke has Sky and Dave having interesting interactions with people outside of their love arc.

Overall, this season's cast DOMINATES the TDRI cast. Because while TDRI had a few great characters, it had tons of sucky ones. This cast has NO godawfulomfgihateyoukillitwithfire characters, and every character is generally likeable, even the annoying ones.
