User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 4)/@comment-25285054-20141030024251/@comment-31556666-20141030110421

For Lindsay, I don't know how they can show the smarter moments to a character who was only in one episode. Plus, Lindsay brings up herself that she forgot how hard the show was as she hasn't done it in so long. Along with that, she wasn't even fully to blame for her team losing in the first place. If anything, Lindsay was smarter than a few others in this season.

Lightning, for a character who was in two episodes, still had a little bit of competence. He was pretty useful during Heroes vs Villains, making it to the challenge first, and jumping in the baby carriage first, speeding up the Villains' chances of winning. To go along with this, he listens to Jo when she brings up the idea of them staying out of each other's way, and Lightning seems to understand this plan. Jo herself claims in Evil Dread that he will soon be too strong for them. And even though he was incredibly idiotic in this episode, he was still useful to the team, getting parts for their sculpture and only doing bad in the challenge when it came to counting and putting the pieces together.

Say what you will about Scott's dumbness. At least they didn't use this dumbness to fill in storylines, like they did with Jo, Heather, Duncan, Cameron, Alejandro, Courtney, Gwen, Mal, and Zoey.
