I'll just keep commenting here because I love bae. Since it's been awhile I'll go sailor by sailor.

Kimmi - I can 100% see where you're coming from with Kimmi. But TBH I never really expected her to return. I was always hoping for Emmett or Blake. Not that is relevant. I do think we have not seem the end of Kimmi, and her own actions, and motives will be explored once more.

Leo - This was one of Mana's submitted characters (the others being Viola) and I could NEVER figure out how to use him. At all. And it shows.

Wing - I can 100% agree with you about Wing on all accounts. I think her humour was lost towards the end when the plot of Floria took over (ew). She was never actually planned to leave during her chapter, I had for a very long time had her staying until the merge. But then it turned into either Wing or Elyar needs to look guilty, and I wanted to do more with Elyar.

Blake - This one hurts. My poor little Blake ;( I loves him. I'm glad that despite him being an early boot he is still enoyable.

Damien - I can see how he can feel he was eliminated early. He actually made it further than he did originally. He was never really meant to go far into the story. I could never really envision him interacting with the cast this time around like he did in Blossoming.

Tameron - I'm not sure if he is widely disliked. But I can see why he would be. I'm glad that you enjoyed him though<3

Colin - This is prolly the biggest surprise for the eliminated contestants. Colin is one of? my least favourite characters in this story. I think it has to do a lot with the fact he was byfar in my top 3 in Blossoming and then he (and Damien) just never lived up to their original characters to me here.

Emmett - I'm glad that he feels completed. I saw an opportunity with Emmett, something that I didn't really have with the other three returnees who all have deeper issues. Emmett's was mostly superficial, and very fixable in a short period. I love Emmett and everything he brings, he's a great guy, and bro-lite. I think it's possible we'll see him again, but it would be in a season with Rosalie... because we both know things aren't the best for the pair.

Cherry - I think Cherry is going to make a splash! When she returns. This girl was wronged and I don't see her letting it go lightly... As a small note it should be remembered that Zac actually rigged that challenge to protect Sarah.... It would be a real shame if someone were to figure that out.

Angel - I AM SO HEARTBROKEN. I almost consider Angel/Malia as Lexi/Zaina 2.0 but better? IDK. I will start to write a Malia scene and then say how Angel walks in to hug her, or something and then I remember that Angel isn't here anymore and I breakdown a little bit. I can totally agree that the pair need to be split up a little bit longer.

Yasmin - I AM WORKING ON IT. I promise. One of the biggest issues with Yasmin is IDK how or why she was voted into this show from her appearance in Tides. She was meant to be an early boot there (and here). So I never really bothered thinking her through, she was just meant to be someone who was dry and didn't like crazy, zainy ideas. Now that she's likely to make the merge, Maybe? I need to ensure she's memorable.

Elyar - See above. Elyar was actually planned to be the first elimination from the Pirates since his inception. That never happened clearly. So again, he's in this limbo situation where I need to work character into a shell. Atleast Elyar has a redemption possibility.

Sam - This is shocking. And I thought that I had done something to make you dislike Sam. So I am SUPER glad to hear it's just because everyone else is just plain better. His thirst is one of my favourite things to write in the story, alongside his "thing" with Hannah. I think he is surprisingly a character who I see myself rooting for, and I want to see how things end up with Grayson.

Alfie - He is such a cutie eh. I think I made an error with my cast this season, by having so many ~similiar~ cute characters but ah well. Him and Trixie is so draining. I loved them when they were building up to that kiss, and then Trixie had to go and ruin it all, for who knows what. It's so upsetting to see Alfie being sad about the ~break up~ but still want to keep Trixie happy. I'm a wreck.

Sarah - Another character who kinda falls into the same boat as many others. Her, Malia, Angel, and Fleur all fit a similiar peppy role. Sarah is perhaps the most dramatic of the bunch, and I hope we start to see more of her personality show through.

Andre - It's so odd. Because he fits into the same role on his team that Emmett did. But his interactionds are completely different than those that Emmett had. He's still a mini rival to Youri, and a bro with Alfie, but it feels different than Emmett.

Fleur - I can see Fleur being a supporting character right now. I have a tendacy to throw characters on the backburner if they're not needed at the time. I 100% promise there is some more Viola-Fleur in the future ;) You made me ship them and it's leaking into the plot line.

Trixie - I'm glad you enjoy Trixie! I also thought she was going to be an early boot, that's why she was created. Oops. I think she has an uphill battle moving forward, but who knows if she's able to do it alone.

Grayson - VERY happy this has changed. Grayson has always been one of my babies, and I'm glad he's starting to grow on everyone else. My biggest concern with him was that his current ~gay~ storyline was going to seem like a cough out to make him likable, as opposed to being the reason why he's done what he's done.

Youri - I've actually spent a long time thinking about who my villains are or will be this season. I think I've mentioned it before how I had planned on having an "unholy" trinity to contrast last season. But the three villains that make up the trinity have been fluctuating, a lot. Lowkey Fleur was planned at one point (maybe she still is...) I think Youri is starting to act more like a villain, fighting for what he wants - to be seen as a man, despite Sam's warning.

Zaina - I'd be careful with who you call the main character of a story, because I have a tendacy to eliminate them. See Dania, Jade, Kimmi. But I agree, Zaina has grown. She's learnt how to forgive, and I think more importantly trust and believe in people. She's been put in the shoes that she put Lexi, and can see the error in her ways.

Malia - Malia is a train wreck. Like I want to write a sitcome of her (and Angel) living in an apartment together in like Toronto, and watching as Malia deals in the real world, which is so different from her sheltered life. Her taking a bus, and being disturbed by the different types of people on it. I agree though, she's turning into a front runner here.

Viola - I was REALLY worried about Viola. I KNEW I couldn't write for Leo, so I had to do Mana's other character justice. LAST time, I did her dirty and Mana made me change her name rofl. SO I am SUPER happy to see that she's one of the top rated characetrs all around in the story. I think she has her comedy, and she has her story. I'm super nervous about what's going to happen between her and Fleur... especially with Colin having the potential to return and explain himself.

Hannah - Is it wrong that I think this is the most shocking? Hannah is never a character who I would consider enjoyable. I would never really think that she would be a character people are rooting for or enjoying. In Frozen she was a villain for being selfish, and when I had written Blossoming she was a batsh!t crazy villain. So It's odd for me to see her where she is now, because it was never EVER my intent. I wanted to get my revenge on Hannah for not letting Britt win last season, but somehow I've given her the growth she's needed. I think she has a lot of paths ahead of her, all leading in drastically different directions. She might FINALLY learn to forgetr about her ego and see the error in her ways or she might just be too busy trying to take down Grayson.
