Contestants that return to the competition after getting eliminated do not outrank those that were kicked off after their initial elimination. That means Izzy in TDI never surpass Cody, Beth, Courtney, Sadie and Harold.

The same goes for character who debut midseason. Mildred only surpass Owen while Courtney (TDA) never surpass Geoff and Trent. I think this was mention b4 in an earlier discussion or blog a yr or 2 ago.
