Tsk,this was the same way to think that brought the Writers to wrote down a total failure like TDAS:use only the strongest,the most developed,and the best mergers from the first series.Result?A season full of derailment and really bad/redundant plots:if you keep use Courtney,Duncan,Gwen,Heather,the so called "strongest character" you can't logically come up forever with original ideas,and the more you strive,the more you derail them.Let's take a look to the actual plot they received in the last seasons:


 * Lindsay:soon after TDA she was just kind of there and TDAS used her as fodder.
 * Heather:as of now she basically revolves 99% of her plot around Alejandro,and this was the case of TDAS.During her rivalry with Jo I didn't felt the same spirit when she was against Gwen and Leshawna in TDI..it was all so arranged and forced.
 * Duncan: out of the triangle he does no more nothing original then hogging and pranking,from a delinquent winner to...a triangle screenhogger.His performance in TDAS was totally useless.
 * Gwen: ok,besides her continuous arguments with Duncan or Courtney what did she do in the last seasons?They really removed all the cooliness inside her so far.
 * Courtney: the most redundant character ever:she never learns her mistake and does always the same errors,her characterization mostly revolves around the DCG triangle and don't consider her plot with Scott a development because this was only a device to make her 5th placed without appearing worthless...Scourtney was a shameful copycat of Duncney.And Courtney is getting worse and worst season after season.

Then,the option for the 1st generation is the following:or use always the same characters to the point to use them so much to derail them over any limit;or risk on never used as Izzy,Noah and Tyler (there are no Others so free to be used) that just for the fact of have been always so underestimated as competitors,it would be nice to see them in the spotlight.C'mon,how many thought Beth and Cody would have been Worth of some before TDA and TDWT?Not to mention a fodder like Justin... Do you see any other solution or prefer the return of Trent in the spotlight?Seriously,the first generation can't offer so much anymore,the majority of them should have ended soon after TDI to avoid any derailment (DJ and Trent are big example) and the rest is barely usable.If you list the original 22 contestants,remove who got the most screentime,remove the unlikable fodders,and remove the derailed/dead characters you have only left 3 underdogs,Lindsay and Harold.
