If these possibilities were Anne Maria, Dakota, B and Staci I'm totally GLAD they didn't. Brick and Jo were immediately excluded, same Dawn, so...

Seriously, I think they avoided to use II gen contestants because this is the generation that received the most backlash (not only for Mike and Zoey, in general), also don't forget many complaints about the excess of ROTI contestants in TDAS over the original TDI ones.

I would have liked to see Dawn return with one of the Hippies (instead to make two new hippies that's worthless) and Jo/Brick together or with one of these police cadets.
