TDI:

'''Lindsay. '''Owen or Duncan were going to finish and one of them would be eliminated, darn it!

Izzy (2nd Time). People voted her off because she shot Heather with a tranquilizer dart? When I saw the episode, the only votes I thought that would be for Izzy would be Duncan and Heather. In fact, if anything, most of the votes would have been towards Heather. This is one of the only merged episodes where Heather doesn't win invincibility. She wasn't even in the Bottom 2. Gwen, who won invincibility, was? Yes, I know that 7th place was probably the right time for Izzy to be eliminated, but her elimination would've made more sense if Heather had won invincibility. People like Leshawna and Gwen respectfully would definitely vote off Heather first chance they get.

'''Geoff. '''Same reasons as Izzy. Heather didn't win invincibility and yet wasn't even in the Bottom 2. Sure, they say Geoff was seen as a threat, but I think the person who's won invincibility so many times is a much bigger threat than a guy who "has the power of nice." In fact, going by that logic, Owen would've been eliminated too. And plus, him and Heather were both partners in the episode so it would've been so easy to just make them the ones immune. Two gigantic threats. For now though, I would change Geoff's elimination in the context that it would make more sense.

'''Leshawna. '''Do I even need to say? It's another episode where Heather escapes elimination for no good reason.

'''Duncan. '''If I could change something about his elimination, it would be that I'd want him to swap elimination placing with Lindsay or Bridgette. He was the leader of a guy's alliance. He was also a little low on storyline compared to people like Lindsay or Bridgette.

'''Owen. '''Easily could've eliminated him instead of Lindsay. Owen isn't the fastest. A beloved contestant comes last. You could still have the same kind of goodbye you had for Lindsay. He had even less storyline than Duncan.

TDA:

'''Lindsay. '''They just kind of shoehorned in her voting for herself.

'''Harold. '''One of my least favorite eliminations, this was an easy episode for Owen to be eliminated in. We need to remember that Harold learned about Owen's betraying tactics before his elimination. Why didn't Harold just tell everyone about this. There was nothing stopping him from doing so. It was just an excuse to get Owen to make it to the Final 3 a second season in a row. Some may think Duncan wouldn't listen to Harold after Harold killed Duncan's pet tarantula, but let's remember that they had that whole "cat fight" conversation in a kind of friendly way. Beth would certainly listen to Harold, and Courtney is very intuitive too. Really, the season, in my opinion, just fell apart when Harold and Lindsay were eliminated. They were much better Final 4 material than Duncan or Owen.

'''Owen. '''Floated again, but for even worse reasons.

TDWT:

'''Lindsay. '''DJ wanted to be eliminated, and he wanted to lose the team challenge against Lindsay. Even if DJ somehow won this competition for no real reason, do you realize how easy it would be for him to just say "I quit!" and then leave the competition?

Noah. Obvious example. Team Chris won because of Noah and Owen. In fact, if Noah was still in the competition after "I See London..." we would've seen some more interesting interaction between him and Al, driving a wedge between their team. Even if Chris had lost, why was Noah even voted off? It's obvious him and Owen voted for Alejandro, but I think Duncan would've been easy to sway to vote for him instead of Noah, especially considering how close him and Owen are.

'''Gwen. '''Kind of a plot device to do a tiebreaker that Gwen is allergic to. Cody being injured thanks to Duncan was another pointless plot device because he would've voted Courtney anyways, making it 3-2. Stupid elimination.

TDAS:

'''Lindsay. '''She's such an unfair elimination mascot. Let me ask you, "Was Lindsay really the reason the Heroic Hamsters lost the challenge?" Sure, she didn't know how to push a baby carriage and forgot where the hotel was, but once she realized, she was doing a solid job at pushing. Sierra is the reason they actually lost. Let's remember that Sierra was the one who actually crushed Courtney, slowing down and weakening Lindsay. There's all these ridiculous moments like when Lindsay starts pointing out that she forgot how hard the show is. Um, hello?! She was doing the same good job that she's always been doing. Sierra is to blame. In fact, had Sierra been eliminated, we wouldn't have had that stupid Camcody storyline that proved that she's not the best character when away from Cody.

'''Lightning. '''Ally of Jo, she tries eliminating him. What??

'''Jo. '''They made her a little pointlessly dumb in this episode. The real Jo wouldn't have poor accuracy and accidentaly shoot her own teammate. She's a better worker than what we got in Saving Private Leechball.

'''Heather. '''Similar to Lightning, she was pointlessly eliminated by her own ally. This automatically meant that the OOC dumb Alejandro was completely out of allies, resulting in him having to work by himself.

'''Duncan. '''His storyline was completely abandoned by having him lose his mind and randomly destroy a cottage. He had so much more storylines than people like Cameron or Alejandro. Ironically, this is one of the only seasons where his screenhogging purpose wasn't even that boring to watch, except for his actual elimination episode. Also, Ed MacDonald wants to marry Cameron so he just kept keeping him.

'''Cameron. '''Should've been eliminated much earlier. He was kind of a floater and should've been eliminated earlier to save his OOCness and him being dumbed down.

'''Alejandro. '''When he finds out about Mal, he gives all this cryptic nonsense about him. Zoey has suspected Mike all season, but is too dumb to actually have something new with her character. Alejandro was only eliminated because he ran out of plot. But I can't stand the cryptic sentences he kept saying that hinted about Mal.

'''Courtney. '''Dumb elimination, dumb derailment, mysterious 3 votes.

'''Scott. '''Zoey kept Mal to actually compete against in the finale. They try to give us the message that Zoey is being good at strategy, but she really isn't. Lightning had more strategy on who to bring to the finale with him in ROTI. Lightning! Can you believe that? Lightning was a smarter competitior than Zoey!

TDPI:

'''Samey. '''She had so much plot. Why eliminate her so early.

'''Ella. '''Pointlessly gave into what Sugar asked her to do. And people like her and Samey still lasted less longer than Topher.

'''Topher. '''If I could change anything about his elimination, it would be to switch his with Samey. Put in the whole Chris phone storyline in "A Blast from the Past" and there's an eliminated Topher.

'''Max. '''Sure. 5th was a good placing for him. But he was eliminated in such a stupid way. Let's remember "Yeah, I'm done with evil." This is followed by Chef grabbing Max and eliminating him with Scarlett. What Chris' line implies is that he was so intimidated by Scarlett, that he's completely against "evil." I always found the line weird, as if Chris was actually intimidated by Max so much that he eliminated him. I mean, what were they thinking?
