@ Mughees, Interesting opinion, maybe even a fact. :)

You know, this blog was meant to partially be a joke. As for the Surfer Dudes, I would also add that with them, the final three of RR resembles TDI's one, which was very well-received by the fans. Surfers as RR's Owen (nice, comic relief), Cadets as Gwen (a tough protagonist), and the Ice Dancers as Heather.

But Leshawna's still popular among the older fanbase, I guess. At least for her TDI persona. And RR proves that they still care about older viewers. They also sometimes took risks when it came to the finalists. While Heather and Alejandro are a good final two, it's obvious that the one appealing to the younger audience was Cody. Also, Beth or Lightning weren't that popular. However, TDAS' final two seems to be chosen for the younger viewers only.
