Izzy's was barnone the best. She did some great stuff, developed her extremely underrated relationship with Owen and left at the right time where she got some focus and didn't last to the point where it felt unfair. I think a lot of people would agree with me her second run was better than her first.

Eva could've built into a secondary antagonist if she lasted a little longer, but given that she was second out having her return and leave the same episode wasn't to big a deal.

First of all since Courtney was never eliminated in TDA by Ocean's Eight or Nine, I don't think we can technically call this a return. Secondly simply horrible it was here we really got to see who she truly was.

Do I really need to talk about Owen's return? Why was he brought back? He brought absolutely nothing to the table you want squeeze a few extra episodes of him have him actually have a point to being there other than "this season needs more Owen" which fyi is not a very good reason.

Ah Duncan's return, first of after going fourth in TDI and undeservedly winning TDA would it really been that bad if he was gone first and stayed gone. Ok maybe an adamant pro GxT Gwen fan isn't the best person to ask about their opinion on his return but I think a lot of people would agree that World Tour started to take a dark turn at the last three minutes of I See London... Gee I wonder what would cause this.

Ok at least Owen was an actual competitor. I refuse to count someone with a twenty year age difference (at least!) an TD competitor. All she did was waste a return slot for someone truly more deserving (which when comparing to her is anyone including those who didn't participate in World Tour to begin with)

Well Dakota's relationship with Sam devolped, so there's that at least. But I think we learned with Zeke is if you were eliminated fair and square you should cut your losses and accept your defeat especially when if you come back you end up getting the only job more dangerous than a TD competitor: a TD intern.

Other than the Ice Dancers never receiving a pleasing level a karma and the LARPers... existing Geoff and Brody's return was the one black mark on an otherwise near perfect season. However they were eliminated fair and square and shouldn't have won. Had they returned and got eliminated in Bahamarama that would've been fine. Had they never been eliminated at all and won that also would've been fine. But they did get eliminated, returned and won. Still the second best return overall though.
