I didn't even know Gwen was hated? That's pretty surprising considering I've always seen her as one of the show's most overrated characters. I liked her a lot at first and she's still probably in my top fifteen but she is boring. After she kissed Duncan and refused to accept responsibility and apologize to Courtney, that was when I gave up on her. If it were me, I'd have put Dave on here instead of Gwen.

I honestly couldn't stand Noah in Ridonculous Race. I hate how the TD writers portray people, mostly guys, who are falling in love. Characters lose all aspects of what made them likable in the first place for some lame gimmick; they become infatuated with their crush no matter what the circumstances are (see: Trent in TDA, Scott in TDAS, Dave in TDPI, Carrie in TDRR, and Noah in TDRR). If they wanted to hook him up with someone, they could've made stronger choices in their writing and picked a less bland love interest. The two of them together was a total snooze-fest.

I really like Duncan but I totally understand why people don't and I won't argue that he hasn't done a lot of horrible things. That being said, if someone likes Duncan and hates Sky for "leading Dave on", that's a total double-standard. Duncan literally cheated on Courtney and gave her like, the most insincere apology in the history of ever. Sky did lead Dave on but Dave also didn't take no for an answer and barely let her speak when she finally wanted to tell him. I like both Dave and Sky but they were very dysfunctional characters.

If I had to pick, I'd say I hate Mike the most - he has no personality outside of his, well, five personalities. I know Zoey is bland (and I don't like her for that same reason) but Mike hides his dullness behind a disorder, which is portrayed very offensively to top it all off. It's not even called "Multiple Personality Disorder" anymore, the condition is not a laughing matter as it affects real people in very real ways, and there's no "reset button" or way to just remove your personalities. Mike and Zoey were also a really unhealthy couple as well as the biggest screenhoggers I've ever seen, but I've ranted about them enough over the years so I'm gonna stop now. Interesting blog topic!
