Denial? No. None of these contestants were "derailed". Some of them were flanderized for one or two episodes, sure, but none of them were "derailed". This fandom uses that word everytime a character that they liked don't act the the way they wanted to in one episode and it's pretty annoying.

Sierra - Flanderization. She was still Sierra, they just grabbed some her character traits and turned it up to 11. She was still acting like classic TDWT Sierra in many of the episodes, especially in the first 3. Not derailed.

Ezekiel - This is possibly the only one I can somewhat agree with it as he wasn't that obsessed about winning the competition in TDI and in the TDI special. Maybe the fame got to his head after TDI.

Geoff - Not derailment. Bridgette, and everyone there aknowledged that Geoff was acting very different in TDA than he did in TDI so that's character development. In the end he felt sorry for everything he did and Bridgette forgave him.

Trent - Again, not derailment. He only started to act "weird" when he and Gwen became the team captains of their own separate teams. And Trent explained in the aftermath why he said number 9 so many times. If anything, Trent became more human in TDA. In TDI he didn't have much going for him.

Chris - Flanderization and no, he never really cared about the contestants. He always only cared about himself. He said many times that a contestant being in danger automatically boosts the ratings of the show.

Dave - No, he developed. Just read ArtDraw's comment about this. He explained it way better than I ever could.

Duncan - He was always nice, even in TDI. Remember when he got DJ a new bunny? They just grabbed that gag that honestly wasn't very touched upon in the first 3 seasons and did more with it. Not derailment at all.

Lindsay - Flanderization.
