Man, this is the greatest comment ever. I always love reading what you have to say, NN666. :D

I honestly don't want to dissect your entire comment and agree/disagree with it, mostly because you too made entirely strong points, based in fact and example, and made terrific arguments. I guess the one point I really want to respond to, at least so you can understand my reasoning, is your point about Harold.

Now keep in mind, up until TDWT, Harold was one of my all-time favorites. I loved him in TDI, and he was THE BOSS in TDA. Out of all the characters in that season, arguably along with Lindsay, he got the most improved development and screen time from TDI. He was definitely up and in front in TDA, and it was his best season by far. But he just went royally downhill for me in TDWT. His habit of stating random facts and what-have-you that was originally seen as charming/funny in TDI and TDA came across as being a total jerk/smart-a**/know-it-all in TDWT, and clearly annoyed those all around him. That, combined with his early elimination, basically signified that his best days were behind him. Although I'd like to see him get some redemption, I can definitely understand why he was left out of this season. Like others such as Bridgette and DJ, he hit rock-bottom in TDWT, and that pretty much marked the end of his time as a fan-favorite (at least in the creators' eyes).

So yeah. That's why I left out Harold in my fantasy cast list.
