^I still say Regatta was passable despite its issues. But yeah, he's been terrible overall, and I'm not excusing all of Regatta's faults. But man, he's inconsistent, doesn't follow anything that has previously happened and has to make the characters all act over the top no matter what they're doing be they angry or happy. But when he makes them act like jerks out of the blue, I think that's where his incompetence really comes to a head. And the challenge in this latest episode was godawful, this was the most ridiculous setup for an episode I've heard of yet. It's like TDA-level awfulness in terms of setup.

Once again, consistency is not a polite suggestion, it is a necessity. This guy has utterly failed on that count repeatedly. And the failure is only magnified by what he's done to all these characters. Why didn't they just bring in some of the old TDI writers instead of a newbie writer? That could've been great, bring back the people who gave us the best season. Where did this guy come from?

New first-time writers almost always fumble a dozen times before they come even close to getting their act together. I've seen this before, this is what happens when you bring in a new guy too late in the game.
