I hate how people praise TDI like it has no flaws. This episode was one of the few TDI episodes that I found "meh" at best.

There are many noticable goofs in the first season but this one had many of them that even as an 8 years old I noticed. What happened with Bridgette? She was never seen to loose the challenge. Why did Heather compete in the last part of the challenge when she clearly lost? The same can go to Owen. The challenge just felt so weird to me because of those many goofs.

Like you said, besides Courtney, Duncan, Harold, Geoff and Gwen, nobody else did anything important. And Gwen only did something in the last few minutes. The jokes were hit and miss. The thriller dance was hilarious. That was the only thing that made me laugh, really.

I don't mind Duncney. I never in my life cared about either Duncney and Gwencan. But the elimination still bugged me. I get that Harold wanted revenge, but why Courtney and not Duncan?

About the vomiting, yeah, I don't get it either. I guess, it's one of TD's icons. Every season must contain vomiting.
