Well it handles it better than just about anything after TDI, or TDA in at least some regards. But those writers never had a good handle on character development, seeing a season actually do a decent job of it is refreshing. And after RR there is literally no excuse to neglect that aspect of the series again. Because we know that that's the failure on their part that's been dragging it down.

No, I definitely feel it is a fair comparison. Those two lasted much longer than needed to be and even though they have a history, it still fails to make them or their romance interesting. I don't see my opinion changing of them when I am finished. Carrie is painfully bland and Devin really is not an improvement over her. They are easily the most useless of the major duos in Ridonculous Race, bar none.

Oh and those Haters/Daters, I forgot to mention them, they were just the worst, mostly because of Stephanie. There is just nothing redeemable about her character at all. Ryan though, he's cool. But gosh, I do not want to see more of Stephanie if more seasons of TD or RR come.

Meh. I never was enamored by the Police Cadets. They are fun, but they are not amazing. Personally I think I like Sanders a little better than MacArthur, MacArthur gets on my nerves sometimes with how arrogant she is. And as far as the Ice Dancers go, when I say grating, I mean grating, man. Exactly what it says on the tin. They did little to amuse me initially and I also would not call them incredible either, be mindful what happens when you insist on hyping them up to the newcomers like me. However, they get much much better as the season goes on so yeah, they're cool enough for me. But far from my favorites. Owen is more useful in this season, but I refuse to gush over him. There's enough people going on about how incredible Owen actually is not without me also having to pay honors to him. Noah's the better half of that duo. As for the Stepbrothers, let's just say I do not really miss them much.

Oh and there's also Taylor, she's terrible. She sucks as both a character and as a player, and I usually just forget about her half of the time. Kelly was clearly the one carrying that duo, that was probably the point anyway but Taylor is as incompetent as she is lacking in any laughs. Kelly was a high point in the first third of the season.

Oh absolutely not, man. We cannot end things with the original cast on a season like All-Stars, that is simply unacceptable. Ridonculous Race is clearly a step in the right direction, but it doesn't begin to make up for all of the things still left unresolved in All-Stars. After Ridonculous Race though, there should be no excuse for another season like TDAS, so I am expecting a better followup next time the originals and their pals from Revenge come back.
