User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 1)/@comment-24971793-20140825192141/@comment-22535514-20140825193448

They should have had more than 13 episodes and more than 14 contestants (with more being from the first cast), but with just the 7:7 rations of boys/girls and TDI/TDROTI cast, the only logical switches are Sam/Brick, and Sierra/Leshawna.

Lindsay did deserve to be fodder. She had nothing going for her (do you really see her speaking to any of them? Her storylines Beth and Tyler are not in the season), she made it far in the first few seasons, so it is not bad for her to not last long in this season, and out of the entire cast, she has the least focus (outside of Sam).
