''I really don't feel like their heart was truly in this one. Whether that's their own decisions or the intereference of the execs, I don't know. But not a whole lot was truly accomplished''.

@Fire Eater, Allegedly about half the people who worked on TDI jumped ship to go work on Stoked which was also in production at the same time. Also, supposedly this season was guilty of being Christmas Rushed with no rewrites which explains things like Courtney being the hastily chosen replacement for Justin role of being the villain halfway in because they realized too late that the latter was all talk and no show.
