In terms of how I would rank Duncan in every season he was a contestant:

TDI - Good. Solid competitor. Nice characterization and development overall. Definitely deserved his place in the final four.

TDA - Pretty Bad. Spent the entire season being a massive ass to Harold. Didn't really have much plot beyond that. His performance this season was definitely a comedown compared to TDI. Not only did he not win a single post-merge challenge, he was constantly spared from being eliminated through increasingly ridiculous asspulls. Did not deserve to be a finalist.

TDWT - Horrendous. Wretched characterization throughout. The best part of the season was that he was only in half of it. Some people say they prefer the second half of the season compared to the first because it had more plot, but I think I'll take no plot over the one that they went with. I thought the love triangle was an extremely monotonous storyline and I grew tired ot if very quickly. Duncan was ridiculously unlikable and poorly written. People can whine all they want about Courtney's personality, but her faults don't give Duncan assets. They never once bothered to explain why Duncan was attracted to Gwen. He was just a trainwreck of a character this season.

TDAS - His second best season, which isn't saying much. Still quite a comedown from TDI. His characterization certainly wasn't great, but at least he wasn't annoying me like he was in TDA and TDWT.

So, in conclusion, I think TDI was Duncan's only real good season. I know that sounds harsh, but it honestly was the only season where I really enjoyed his character. Everything else I could've done without.

His Total Dramarama portrayal, which I HAVE enjoyed, is obviously an entirely separate entity and I don't count it as part of the other seasons.
