I hope it isn't to late to add my two cents in. While the Fans vs. Favorites idea does sound kinda cool, I like TDTokyo and it's premise. I think if you don't like the characters, you should find a way to make them fun to write for. Their stereotypes don't make the character, they're just guidelines (and of course you don't even have to follow their stereotypes, like Elle remember?). You just need to tweak them and make them to your liking. Remember that post I did on Mattie's talkpage but all that stuff that could be done to make her more interesting? It's like that. If you feel some characters are too Mary-Sueish then give them comical flaws. The funniest characters are funny because of their flaws. Like Lindsay's stupidity, Audrey's awkwardness, Doyce's high opinion of himself and Barbie's ironicalness and appearance. We can give you any ideas for that.

As for no smoothie guy or Dolph, just create a character like them. The smoothie guy was a recurring character so just make a new one. Everyone does the recurring intern or staff member for comic relief why not try your own attempt? You also have Suzuki who could help.

Here is a crazy idea I just had. Dolph had a unicorn and Nyan Cat right? And the show features characters who are for a majority, related to a former contestant right? Why not give Dolph an Japanese cousin! No Dolph isn't Japanese but you could say something like his aunt moved to Japan and adopted a Japanese baby (And it makes as much sense as a flying Nyan Cat) and they don't have to be Japanese either. Anyway, they're upset they weren't chosen to compete so they terrorize the cast on their...Anti Nyan Cat (the one with a waffle body and a black cat head). They could also have funny unicorns (like asian or biker ponies that look like My Little Pony characters or maybe even a fat pony like on my avatar). Maybe a girl too that's super hot for irony (and if she was Japanese she could be Yuri's rival) Random, but it kinda makes sense.

I have other ideas and if you wan them I'll tell you but it is your fanfiction so you obviously can decide what to do.
