User blog comment:JIMBOYKELLY/Pick Your Side! - Who should be turned back to normal? Ezekiel or Dakota?/@comment-3394399-20161216125516

While this is an extremely easy question for me, I'll try to point out my opinions on each side to explain why I feel this way.

Ezekiel was irrelevant until there was about 5 minutes left in his boot episode, and the only thing we learned about him was that he's a sexist pig who probably deserved to leave the island in a bodybag. In World Tour, he was cocky, didn't apologize to Bridgette or any of the other girls for his sexist comments, and turned into some weird freak of nature. Maybe that was a little too far, but he really doesn't have many redeeming qualities except for trying to break up Gidgette. And that's merely subjective as I seem to be the only person who really despises that pairing on this wiki.

Dakota was a pretty big character in ROTI even if she only "competed" in 3 episodes. I'm not really a fan of her and Sam together either, but that's another story. On her as a character, she was another very interesting, independent, and generally kind character like so many of the rest of my favorites. Unlike Ezekiel, she never did anything problematic. She didn't mock Lightning because he was black. She didn't make fun of B because he was overweight. Heck, she didn't even make fun of Scott's idiocy even though it was fair game since he was such a jerk. So what did she get for all of this kindness? Oh, right, she was turned  into a brainless monster.

So who's more deserving of getting to be a human again?

Dakota, the girl who had actual human emotion in the first place.
