Oh yeah Gwuncan that season. Duncan does deserve a lot of credit for having to put up with all of Gwen's complaining or her ignoring him.

Duncan's elimination being one of the worst is something I disagree with. His elimination didn't really botch his development imo because it was Duncan trying to prove himself as a bad guy, which he had been trying to do ever since No One Eggspects the Spanish Opposition. And then, once he proved it by blowing up the cottage, he gets arrested to pay for his misdeeds. It wraps up his own personal story, but it just doesn't wrap up other people's stories. At the same time, though, Zoey had the necessary information and didn't process it, so that's not Duncan's fault that Zoey couldn't utilize it. Overall, while it may appear to bring Duncan back to square one, what happens afterwards and what led up to him doing it in the first place keeps everything on track.

That being said, as usual for this season, I would have preferred Cameron going home in Regatta. They already had the twist set up and everything for him, and while Duncan's twist was actually pretty good and realistic, I still would have preferred Cameron leaving.

Unlike you, I actually thought Duncan was pretty annoying in Eggspects, but I thought it felt more natural in the other episodes at least. In Moon Madness regarding him with Courtney and Gwen, as you said, he was pretty damn bad, but it would be easier to say who didn't suck that episode tbh, so I don't hold that much against him from there. And then he was good in the other six episodes imo.

All in all though I think Duncan deserves some of credit that season for still finding a lot of new things to do despite having been in so many episodes. He wasn't great, but he was far from bad overall.
