I'll never stop believing Ezekiel had a lot of potential as a character and the hate for him completely baffles me.

I don't mind Cameron as a character nor do I find his design "fugly". I actually find him unique looking compared to a lot of characters on the show. I'll take "fugly" over generic and uninteresting like Lightning and Topher are.

Speaking of character appearances, I thought the elimination fodder for TDPI had more interesting and better designs than most of the characters who made it farther. They clearly put more effort into designing Leonard and Rodney than they did Dave, Topher, and even Shawn. I find that messed up.

The constant batches of new characters we've been getting lately irritates me. Most of the TDROTI and TDPI characters are still woefully undeveloped. It's a waste of time and money to me to design a character, hire a voice actor for them, and then do absolutely nothing with them. Unfortunately, almost half of the shows 52 contestants have suffered this fate.
