TDWT had several continuity gaps w.r.t. TDA. My impression was that the writers were trying to pretend TDA didn't exist because it was so poorly received. (TV Tropes calls this a "canon discontinuity".)

Your comment concerning what MacArthur could be without her moral compass reminds me of the RR episode where the Racers had to catch fish using their fingers as bait. Since the six remaining teams are melded into two super-teams for the challenge, Sanders must convince MacArthur to work with the Ice Dancers. When MacArthur and Josee quickly devise a scheme to sabotage the other team, and chuckle viciously at this, Sanders looks uncertainly at the camera and says, "I think I've just created an Axis of Evil."
