I don't mind TDA Courtney in small doses. I prefer TDI Courtney however, I don't mind her being competitive, what I DO mind is that her character is going nowhere. Almost entirely because they play up her worst traits every season sooner or later. I'm not positive if the writers are intentionally looking for us to hate Courtney or not, but it sure feels that way sometimes. But at the same time, I am not convinced they know what to do with the character. Even when she's being despicable, I cannot help but feel bad for her when she is brought to another low. And I am asking the writers to stop aggravating this confusion by keeping this up. Know what I mean?

Gwen was definitely the more deserving finalist in TDI and ought to have won for real. She was very relatable and very fun to watch, but that has so often not been the case since TDA, where she allowed herself to be made another team's pawn and I felt Gwuncan did nothing for her character at all. At that stage, she became a hypocrite and downright untrustworthy. There's mistakes, and then there's consciously going through with something as messed up as this. In All-Stars she fell apart completely. I was really enjoying how she was patching things up with Courtney, but they had to bust that up, why I don't know. The Gwuncan breakup was beyond stupid, and aside from what you said, I think she became truly unlikable by the end. I think Gwen is elevated too much by the writers.

Yeah I love all those guys, and I hope all of them will come back if more comes. Some of them would be great in an underdog or second All-Stars season.

Ryan's the more entertaining half of that duo. Stephanie kind of sucks I think. It's like she does not know where to stop.
