Ella was introduced just last season and I'm almost certain no one from last season is competing. In addition, I feel like they had the season's framework down before they found out fan reaction or TDPI contestants. If you are referring to Ella's early elimination, there is no way to know if she was a fan favorite before the show aired. Even then, just because she left early and ended up being popular doesn't mean it was a bad idea. I personally thought she left at an appropriate time even though I liked her.

The show already has the pronunciation for Dawn's name and its exactly like how'd you'd pronounce Don.
