Scarlett
I honest to goodness love Scarlett. I only cut her because there wasn't much to write about Tom and Jen (who I care the least for on those on the list), Topher's writeup would just exhaust me and I knew he'd probably be culled this round anyway, and I didn't particularly want to cut Dawn, Scott, Gwen, or Blaineley. So I thought "well Scarlett's almost definitely not gonna reach the final so I was as well ensure she gets sent away with the love she deserves"
and that's what I've decided to do.
Scarlett's a great character and was a new take on an 'antagonist', if she could be called one. Aside from subtle nods to her psychopathy in her audition tape, Scarlett's true intentions were revealed over time, and while I sadly wasn't too shocked as there was a leak before the TDPI episodes even aired in Italy (although I did watch them in Italian! I was too impatient to wait a week oops) that spoiled pretty much the whole of TDPI (I remember dismissing it when I saw "Shawn and Jasmine will be the main coupe of the series" but then I saw the intro and was like "... huh. Scarlett's really gonna be a villain!", it was still interesting to see her turn from a somewhat awkward brainiac, to someone who just seemed to entertain Max for the fun of it, to being not as nice as she seemed (her passive aggressiveness towards her teammates who didn't understand her explanation of Monkey See Monkey Do ("use...little...words...Scarlett....!!!!")
her practically threatening Topher
) to being a villainous mastermind was thrilling and a storyline that didn't dominate the screens. I think it's an unpopular opinion to like TDPI, but everyone had their own thing going on without overshadowing anyone else, and that's apparent with Scarlett, IMO.
Yeah I dunno what else to say because I could sing praises for Scarlett all day long. Love you girl x
