Uh yes, you think we've seen the last of them? Heck no, and the worst of the backlash hit the ROTI contestants even harder than it hit themselves. But the backlash against how the original guys were portrayed was very, very strong. Courtney, Gwen, Sierra to a heavy extent......and Lindsay, Alejandro, Heather and Duncan all to lesser extents......it's obvious they need to rethink how they write and how they use them. Owing to the major inconsistencies and zero development they got. And I think people are sick of the repeating cycles and patterns with them. There's a reason the originals were such a sore point with TDAS, because they were treated and used like crap. That's the simple fact of the matter. And in an All-Stars season that is even more unacceptable.

PhenomsServant3 is completely correct. Key word: Redemption.You can't keep the same bull with them ongoing forever. Not unless they want to dig a bigger hole for themselves as with TDAS. That practically killed everyone's trust until TDPI helped to cool things down somewhat. I don't think there will be much patience left for a repeat of what TDAS brought if that should come to pass. That season was losing fans before it even finished. The writing behind the returning originals being one of the biggest reasons why. They've thoroughly expended and depleted some of these old routines and plots with them and it's time to move past them with newer, more serious and much less tumultuous plots that can serve to bring them back from how bad TDAS brought them down. TDAS can't be the new status quo for these characters. Some cycles need to be broken. I'm all for these guys returning, but I don't want to see any further derailment from them like what TDAS inflicted (Or the triangle either, I agree with that). A lot of this has gone on long enough, if the regulars remain regulars, they gotta be serious about pulling them out of what AS did to them all and get serious about developing them. Development and consistency are key.
