Didn't they start making 13 episodes to save a little bit of money? Well, a easy way to fix that is to stop creating new characters every other season. A big way to save money is to use the characters they have not developed yet, and actually develope them, there are so many characters that have so much potential, but were tossed in the garbage for the same characters every season, or for a new cast. I know they're trying to get that whole 'Survivor' feel, but they don't need to do that, because they have so many characters that they haven't developed fully enough.

I was glad they made a second generation because we had seen the same characters for three seasons in a row, but I think the second generation needs some more developing, and now there's a third generation which I'm fine with, but they could easily do a 26 episode season after TDPI with characters from all three generations that are 'All Stars', and then after that they could do another 26 episode season with characters from all three generations for a Underdog or Redemption season.

We have Ezekiel, Eva, Noah, Justin (a little), Katie, Tyler, Izzy, Sadie, Trent, Bridgette (a little), DJ (a little), Leshawna (a little), Sierra, Staci, Dakota (a little), B, Dawn, Sam, Brick, Anne Maria, Jo, and Zoey (a little and by herself) that could still easily be developed into better and greater characters. So why not use them for another season instead of making new characters?
