Second Generation

Anne Maria: Even though she contributed to the diversity of the cast, I just can't see much potential from her. She did not develop whatsoever during her first and only season, ending up becoming a caricature of herself. Her infatuation with Vito did plant seeds of doubt between Mike and Zoey, without which I believe they would have stuck together through and through. So she gets credit for spicing things up.

Ultimately, I can't see her going far even if she does return because the more strategical players like Jo can easily take advantage of her and this will be her downfall. She's in the same boat as Eva, whereby she needs to learn to control her temper. She can easily be pit against others, like when she went against Brick in a heart beart, over something that Scott said. I particularly liked her during Finders Creepers, where she stuck up for the team.

Jo: Her outlook is that the ends justify the means, which means that she's willing to do what it takes to win even if that may harm the others. Even though I don't particularly approve of her way of thinking, Cameron did manage to outsmart her by using the very tactics that she used to make it past the merge, betraying those that she felt had outlived their usefulness. Karma works in mysterious ways.

I would've loved to see more of the Heather and Jo conflict during All Stars because that's a part of Heather that's been missing ever since she recieved her redemption and defeated Alejandro. We need to see her take someone down instead of fussing over whether or not Alejandro is playing the team. She's insecure, about her looks particularly even if she doesn't want to show it. A common sign among supposed tomboys.

Brick: As seen in the afro-mentioned contestant, what drives Brick is his desperation to be competitive but something that often pulls him down is his chivalry, which means that Jo is able to play him and he isn't willing to go against her orders, in fear of appearing disrespectful. However, he does swap this outlook once he realizes that going against his code meant that he'd be putting himself before others. Their conflict is based primarily on the fact that they don't agree with how the other works, so to say.

Too bad he had to act as a pain-magnet though. A shame really because Sam would have fit the role more perfectly.
