I still don't think either plot would go anywhere though due to a lack of time. Rodney was a gag character and I don't see how it would have affected Scarlett at all. What would the purpose of the interaction even be? What could Rodney possibly do? Max at the beginning least gives her the reveal that she knows about evil stuff, which was good for the buildup. I Love You, Grease Pig doesn't have many interactions. So you really only have the episode Rodney is eliminated. You can't build an interaction in that episode due to the format, you can only develop the ones that already exist.

Samey too. What would its purpose be? It was still more of a buildup in that period. What would Scarlett lead Samey on about? And why? She didn't know what was happening with Amy and Samey, she just knew that the former got eliminated. Like episode 4, episode 5 wasn't interaction heavy for that team. I distinctly remember that was the episode that I became interested in Scarlett. As a result I don't really think that would have gone anywhere either.

If they wanted to expand her interactions (and make said interactions significant) they needed to do it after she cracked about the sidekick thing due to how it worked out. Only one I can think of is Topher, but even then, not really. Perhaps someone on the other team would have been the best solution? But when you have five episodes it is hard to make multiple interactions, particularly when Samey has Amy and Jasmine on the list already for the ones that take up a lot of time.
