I mean your entitled to your opinion, but teams like the Ice Dancers, Police Cadets, and even if you hate them, the Daters, were not just there. All 3 were fairly important overall, regardless of whether you like or don't like them.

And in answer to the Goths, every season needs a comic relief. And although this season's main comic relief were probably the Surfer Dudes and sometimes the Cadets or Ice Dancers, the Goths were still comical characters and since this show is a comedy I think it makes perfect sense for them to last this long, especially since their humor is something no other character will ever capture.
