TDWT? It threw a lot of it away too. The love triangle? Total character derailment for the three people involved. And most of the returnees who got eliminated early in Island? They no longer mattered after that mess sprang up. And Sierra? I'm still not totally convinced she developed anymore in that season than she did in TDAS. And Zeke? Do I even have to say it? And DJ? Still a coward.

That may be so, but Heather was already a solid fan favorite and the others were still robbed of much of the precious time they needed to shine. And some still consider Alejandro a Villain Sue. Some, anyway.

I just hate how the same characters from Island keep getting reused so they can either vanish from the face of the earth (Trent, Bridgette, Geoff, etc.) or to exploited for drama that's just krud and degraded character-wise further (Duncan, Gwen, Courtney, etc. Heck, even Owen is now insufferable, and people think Lindsay became too stupid in TDAS).

So yeah, I didn't find much to love about TDWT for all of these reasons. The second half derailed things much like how the last three to four episodes of TDAS derailed this season.
