What annoys me is that, this season, the final five are Courtney, Gwen, Mike, Scott, and Zoey. I know this is Total Drama All-Stars, but these people have literally made it past the merge in, like, every season.

Gwen isn't in the spotlight as much as Courtney has been lately but her love life was a main focus in all three seasons she competed in prior to All-Stars, and Mike, Scott, and Zoey all made it to the final six of Revenge of the Island.

Even Cameron, the winner of last season, was just recently eliminated. Like I said, I know it's a season about the all-stars, but this season is destroying what Action did perfectly: bring back a core fourteen and give spotlight to the less popular. Lindsay and Sam should've definitely made it further.

And, seriously, if you're going to give more focus to the screenhoggers, at least give them new plots. I'm glad Duncan was given something new to do this season, but other than him, all I've seen is the same old Cameron, Mike, and Zoey friendship, as well as the ever-so-dreadful (it didn't used to be) Courtney and Gwen partnership. Not to be a downer, but this show seems to have lost all element of surprise and instead chooses to just keep giving spotlight to the same old contestants.
