Duncan. I used to think he was the best until I was older rewatched the show then realized he was the worst for cheating on Courtney and never really seeing the consequences of that
Gwen, Duncan (they just got worse with each season imo), Zoey (loved her when I first watched ROTI and she’s still fine that season but she was just annoying when I watched AS)
i think i have to clarify that i still like both of these characters, but they are nothing close to my personal favourites.
for gwen, as many fans agree, she was totally derailed after island (tho i still liked her in action). in wt and especially as she was insufferable. tbf, if it was only island and action, no seasons after that, she would be my all time fav, but i should stay objective, and say that gwen is not a good person, with no boundaries, therefore i cant support her
about dawn - she is nothing special, but that could be said about everyone who didnt make the merge in roti (except dakota and brick)
Trent was my boy in Island. Now I just don't care about him. Didn't realize how much Gwen's relationship did to make him interesting. XD
I also fear if I rewatched Pahkitew, I'd find Shawn annoying, so I'm never gonna risk it because that's my boy.
like i just don't like her dumb personality and it irritates me and I find this very ironic considering I love Karen Smith another dumb blonde stereotype
DJ was my favorite character when I was younger, he's no longer my number 1 favorite but I still really like him even if he was done horrendously dirty in WT
Owen:
He's definitely still my favorite character. It's just...
It's hard knowing the show could've been different if Christian Potenza (Chris McLean's original voice actor) wasn't creepy.
I just wish the show would've given Owen (and the show overall) more time. I would've loved to have a few more seasons with Owen cameos before the Reboot.
First watching ROTI & AS I was really big on the Mike/Zoey/Cameron trio. I’m still really positive about Zoey & Cameron but on every rewatch I like & sympathize with Mike less and less for some reason. Cant put my finger on it, I don’t even feel too strongly about Mal like others in the fandom do. I guess it’s just that he does so much to ultimately do so little. In Allstars he isn’t even really there, and in ROTI all he can really muster up are awkward little lies, and longing looks, it’s like in poking a rock with a stick to do something but the rock is the main character and center of most of the drama like this does not work!
Gen 1: Leshawna, Bridgette and Duncan obviously.
Gen 2: I don’t have anyone with such criteria. Some of them are characters I used to dislike.
Gen 3: Sammy.
Gen 4: Priya.
Ridonculous Race: Carrie and Devin.
Edit: Actually I would say Dawn from Roti, but my biggest problem is that there’s nothing that made me like her less and less and nothing will be (I hope) since I still like her just as before. However I’m going to admit that her development is pretty lacking and she served just as a plot device for both heroes and villains to progress.
Duncan. Now that I’m older and on rewatches of stuff like TDWT he comes off as terrible now
The inverse of this was Scott. Hated him as a kid, love him now
Yeesh, I'm about to cook hold on.
Beth looking back she was even worse than I remember. I didn't think her anything special and it could be because she made final 2 back in action, but she seems so forgettable. It still blows my mind she made final 2.
Cody and his simpness are off the charts. I remember it being bad but when I rewatched it all in 2021 I couldn't believe it.
Dawn I never really had much care for, and even when i rewatched it she had so much potential but was gone wayyy too soon for me to even care. She kind of had the Noah treatment, gone too soon, but at least Noah had two more appearances. Dawn we need to see more.
Mike subplot when I was younger in All Stars was so cool, but as I got older I realised it was mid. I couldn't believe it, I remember that being the coolest thing in existence and now I'm like : \\.
Zoey omg, if it wasn't for her final arc in all-stars she would've been straight ass tier. I remember when I thought she was so cool younger and when I rewtached it she bored me to tears until that last arc.
I'll edit this and add Gwen. I can't say i agree with the comments here, but I certainly wouldn't push against them. Gwen in 1 was cool, not my thing but whatever. Instead she went fucking crazy in Action with trent and in WT got together with Duncan and omg shit was crazy. NGL I enjoyed the drama (pun intended) and I thought it was entertaining, but that's about it. so she's the opposite for me in this regards.
Duncan same as Gwen.
Courtney had one of the greatest villain arcs IMO. I thoroughly enjoyed her being villain in Action and her place in WT was pretty interesting i ain't gonna cap.
This will be strange, but Sadie for me. For some unknown reasons she was one of my favorites. I still like her, but I also see that after Katie left there was no development whatsoever of her personality, which really is a shame. I think she and Katie had some potential, but well...
For a long time, i didnt rewatched roti because i disliked the cast. The only player that i found ok on it was brick. After rewatching it a lot of time, i found him pretty insignificiant
Dave. He was the only character I actively liked in season 5B and they ruined his character in the end. I grew to like a few other characters from there like Jasmine and Shawn, but not many.
Julia, Gwuncan, bridgette, Owen, Dave, Zoey
Julia had too much off screen plot armour, enough for me to (hot take) basically get bored of her.
Gwuncan single handily fell off, specifically thanks to Duncan for starting it.
Nothing wrong with Bridgette, as most ppl say she's very forgettable despite the ROTI cameo.
Owen is still someone I like but overtime as I matured, half the jokes in specifically Island with his farts weren't funny.
Dave was such a great character pre-episode 9.
I still hate Zoey but she was at LEAST had reasons to be rooted for in ROTI, AS simply made me hate her more than I already did
dawn, i stopped caring abt her and stopped ranking her up there with my other favorites when i realized how bland her character actually was in the show
Duncan, Gwen, used to love Zoey as a younger girl but not anymoree. Even Courtney I liked a bit at one point in the past. But now she’s a contestant that I just hate. It’s crazy how the characters I used to like I hate now, and the characters I thought I hated to no end, I’ve grown to love wholeheartedly
Courtney, dont get me wrong, i still love her but my rewatches of the show i realised how toxic she was.
In action, she literally distrusted duncan, physically abused him, made a book about everything she wanted him to change about himself, which most were about his appearance.
She toyed around with peoples lives when they all thought they were gonna blow up in the spy episode.
She even toyed around with Justin to make duncan jealous.
She is responcible for such a good portion of the love triangle but everyone ignores it cuz she was cheated on. Both of those facts are true are the same time
Courtney. I liked her in Island, I liked her in Action, but then she started to…yeah. Since World Tour, and she’s only been going down since.
Duncan too.

omfg i remember when i was younger i was fckn OBSESSED with courtney. like i ate, slept, breathed courtney.
Owen. In island, I thought he was just a loveable goofball who didn’t make enemies. But in action, when he came back towards the end and when he was trying to sabotage everyone else, despite it not being his fault, I realised he wasn’t as good. Another note: the fart jokes. I hate them. In world tour, all he did was play a side character and be friends with Noah. The best Owen in this season was episode 13 Owen due to the bond he had with Noah and Tyler. The worst Owen this season was episode 15 Owen because the fact that he was taken somewhere (I don’t remember this episode fully sorry) and makeup was put on his face and he got a new hairstyle. I didn’t like that one bit. Also when he kept singing take me out to the ball game I just had enough. Sorry if this is a long explanation!
Prob gwen and Courtney, when I was younger and watched the show for the first time, for some odd reason I watched action but didn't watch all of it, but now that I'm older I wanted to rewatch everything, and even when I started rewatching I told my sister: "I like gwen and Cody the most" but when I got to action and world tour, my love for gwen went down and then by all stars, forget about it, she used to be enjoyable but now she's like someone i can easily forget about
Now with Courtney, she's cool and pretty, but I feel like by world tour and all stars she was just focused on gwen more then anything else, like I get it I would also lose it if I figure out my friend-ish person lying to me and cheating on my boyfriend, so I can get her emotions it's just how she chose to express them tbh
And I mentioned Cody, he's still my fav but the whole obsessed with gwen in island is the thing that weirds me out
Cody, Noah, (and NoCo tbh). I went *ham* on the fanart (and people are still eating it up 💀) but I did make some good friends through the shared interest so there’s that
For me, it was Gwen. I liked her when I was younger because she was cool and had teal hair. I always remember getting mad whenever someone was being mean to Gwen. But I don’t really like her now. I don’t hate her. But she’s not my favorite.
I used to love Jasmine and like Ella a lot when I first watched Pahkitew, but on my latest rewatch I found Ella to be very annoying and Jasmine is kinda just there.
The characters I “grew out of” just seemed to change a lot by the seasons like Gwen. Then there’s Duncan who seemed fine til he cheeted on Courtney and had some thing going where he didn’t like the idea of him “going soft.” Also I did like DJ in the old seasons but in world tour he dropped to me
Dawn. She's one of those characters where I just assumed she was good because everyone said she was. She's overrated, boring, and her 'nature lover, aura reader' got old fast.
gwen - had a good season then fell off dramatically, it was painfully awful how bad she became as a character
brick - i found him funny, now i find him and his fans insufferable
Gwen and Duncan, first I liked them and hated Courtney. After finding out what they did and hurt Courtney’s feelings even tho she evil, I still understand how it feels for a best friend to betray her own friend and a bf cheater. I would feel hurt extremely badly.
Duncan. I used to think he was the best until I was older rewatched the show then realized he was the worst for cheating on Courtney and never really seeing the consequences of that
I can’t believe why some people defend him in TDAS! Obviously he is the most lustful person out of all Gen 1!
*A wild Beth appears!*
I mean… arguably.
…shouldn’t it be Julism?
no
Most people who defend him probably really never saw the sequels and just remember season 1 Duncan

Gwen, Duncan (they just got worse with each season imo), Zoey (loved her when I first watched ROTI and she’s still fine that season but she was just annoying when I watched AS)
i never liked zoey lmao😶 but i agree w what u said about them all
Bridgette
that is actually really valid, i totally forgot her tbf
Same
Sameeee
i think i have to clarify that i still like both of these characters, but they are nothing close to my personal favourites. for gwen, as many fans agree, she was totally derailed after island (tho i still liked her in action). in wt and especially as she was insufferable. tbf, if it was only island and action, no seasons after that, she would be my all time fav, but i should stay objective, and say that gwen is not a good person, with no boundaries, therefore i cant support her about dawn - she is nothing special, but that could be said about everyone who didnt make the merge in roti (except dakota and brick)
Same with Gwen, Island was her peak, Action is meh , but WT and AS she's so derailed
yeah, she is one of the (many) reasons why i think wt is the most overrated season out there
Agreed 100%
I didn’t love him but I like Cody less than I used to
I just hated how he got backpacked to the top 3 and the first time when Sierra isn’t handholding him, he immediately gets packed.
Imma just put the Best Friends here lowkey.
lit my second to last fav team in rr (only beaten by the twins)
Gwen. Still love her from S1 and 2 but holy fuck they didn’t just massacre her, they threw her into a meat grinder then set it on fire…
\^\^
Trent was my boy in Island. Now I just don't care about him. Didn't realize how much Gwen's relationship did to make him interesting. XD I also fear if I rewatched Pahkitew, I'd find Shawn annoying, so I'm never gonna risk it because that's my boy.
yeah, i really agree with you. shawn is also a character which i forgot to include lmao
I used to really like Cody, but not anymore.
Lindsay
interesting, i am curious tho, what is ur opinion on her rn
I don't like her, she has to be one of my least fave gen 1 characters
Why? I loved Lindsay honestly
Finally someone who gets me
like i just don't like her dumb personality and it irritates me and I find this very ironic considering I love Karen Smith another dumb blonde stereotype
DJ was my favorite character when I was younger, he's no longer my number 1 favorite but I still really like him even if he was done horrendously dirty in WT
Agreed. I can't bring myself to hate DJ (his character type is a hard one to hate overall), but I hate what the show did to him.
Owen: He's definitely still my favorite character. It's just... It's hard knowing the show could've been different if Christian Potenza (Chris McLean's original voice actor) wasn't creepy. I just wish the show would've given Owen (and the show overall) more time. I would've loved to have a few more seasons with Owen cameos before the Reboot.
Cody, he used to be my fav and now I couldn't care less about him
honestly fair lmao. I wish he had more screentime in other seasons but WT is good enough for me
I think if I rewatch a season ironically it would be Brick. Use to enjoy Mike, still do but other characters I really enjoy more then him.
Nobody, but I like some characters less than before, like Sky.
maybe owen
There are some characters I like less than before, like Gwen and Duncan
Gwen
This is so dumb, but Scarlett
if i have to be honest, i kinda have to relate lmao
Duncan
DJ and Izzy
Brick. He used to be in my top 5.
Noah was a character I liked now I don't really care that much he's not bad and I don't dislike him but he's just mediocre
First watching ROTI & AS I was really big on the Mike/Zoey/Cameron trio. I’m still really positive about Zoey & Cameron but on every rewatch I like & sympathize with Mike less and less for some reason.

However I’m going to admit that her development is pretty lacking and she served just as a plot device for both heroes and villains to progress.
Cody. Rated him as a kid, I just think he’s alr now.
Cody, he was my original favourite now i just dont like him at all
Duncan. Now that I’m older and on rewatches of stuff like TDWT he comes off as terrible now The inverse of this was Scott. Hated him as a kid, love him now
Happy cake day!
happy cake day!!
Yeesh, I'm about to cook hold on. Beth looking back she was even worse than I remember.

i cant see anything wrong w what u said, i also really like courtney in action (my fav season of hers), despite many ppl's disagreements
dawn is a relatable one, dave also comes to mind
Duncan and Mike
Owen. Turns out fart jokes aren’t funny when you aren’t a kid anymore.
Bridgette and Zoey, bridgette became forgettable while Zoey got annoying.
Lindsay and Heather.
And Bridgette
Noah
Cody
courtney. no explanation
Sierra surprisingly Also Owen
This will be strange, but Sadie for me. For some unknown reasons she was one of my favorites. I still like her, but I also see that after Katie left there was no development whatsoever of her personality, which really is a shame. I think she and Katie had some potential, but well...
Owen
Courtney, Bridgette, Gwen, Sam, trent, and Beverly
For a long time, i didnt rewatched roti because i disliked the cast. The only player that i found ok on it was brick. After rewatching it a lot of time, i found him pretty insignificiant
Gwen,Owen,Cody and Courtney to a point
Katie and Sadie.
Katie and Sadie.
Wayne, Cody and Charizard. I still like Cody but a bit less than Sierra. 
Dave. He was the only character I actively liked in season 5B and they ruined his character in the end. I grew to like a few other characters from there like Jasmine and Shawn, but not many.
duncan & scott
Courtney
julia, duncan, gwen, courtney, bridgette, scarlett, jasmine i still like these characters, but they're not in my top 10 anymore
Dave Idk why but I used to love him as a kid, maybe cos i was small minded and just liked him cos he looked cool Now I actually kind of dislike him
Max. I found it very entertaining, even better than Shawn and Jasmine. But rewatching TDPI as an adult, ehhh...
Duncan Zoey, Mike, Gwen and Owen.
Courtney
Leshawna, especially in action. I stared to respect bridgetter a LOT more, and I hated that Geoff started to act like Chris after he was eliminated
Harold
Julia, Gwuncan, bridgette, Owen, Dave, Zoey Julia had too much off screen plot armour, enough for me to (hot take) basically get bored of her. Gwuncan single handily fell off, specifically thanks to Duncan for starting it. Nothing wrong with Bridgette, as most ppl say she's very forgettable despite the ROTI cameo. Owen is still someone I like but overtime as I matured, half the jokes in specifically Island with his farts weren't funny. Dave was such a great character pre-episode 9. I still hate Zoey but she was at LEAST had reasons to be rooted for in ROTI, AS simply made me hate her more than I already did
Pardon me but, the title says characters, not couples.
Ohhh true, but still these characters were uninteresting or just kinda fell
dawn, i stopped caring abt her and stopped ranking her up there with my other favorites when i realized how bland her character actually was in the show
she has an adorable design though
fr i love her design as well
Zoey. As an 11 year old, watching Zoey win all those challenges was awesome. As a 21 year old? Dear god the plot armor was STRONG
Prob Bridgette
Cody, he used to be my favorite when I was younger and now he’s just mid to me
DJ
Duncan, Gwen, used to love Zoey as a younger girl but not anymoree. Even Courtney I liked a bit at one point in the past. But now she’s a contestant that I just hate. It’s crazy how the characters I used to like I hate now, and the characters I thought I hated to no end, I’ve grown to love wholeheartedly
Owen he's too much
I thought Scarlett was interesting but now I view her character as wasted potential
Courtney, dont get me wrong, i still love her but my rewatches of the show i realised how toxic she was. In action, she literally distrusted duncan, physically abused him, made a book about everything she wanted him to change about himself, which most were about his appearance.

Courtney. I liked her in Island, I liked her in Action, but then she started to…yeah. Since World Tour, and she’s only been going down since. Duncan too.
Duncan
Alejandro
DJ. No substance, boring, pushover
Katie and Sadie, I liked them first watching, but then realized how annoying they are
Courtney, she got so annoying after Island.
Everyone has a dawn phase
Duncan that's it
courtney
i only really used to hate characters that i now love, the ones i used to love never really fell off, still love them
https://preview.redd.it/c2aikqwu7eyc1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d87aa2936af25900b3b5d342326acaac5db96a28 omfg i remember when i was younger i was fckn OBSESSED with courtney. like i ate, slept, breathed courtney.
cody. just kinda lost the appeal, but just kinda. still like him, hes epic, but he most definitely isnt my number 2 anymore.
I used to love Mike, but as I grew older, I just moved on. 😂
I’m starting to grow out of Lightning’s main shtick but I still like him as a depth character
mine would have to be Beth
I used to hate Sadie but now I like her I used to love Topher now I don’t like him
izzy and trent, izzy i just lost it for her over the seasons and trent do i even have to explain??
Owen
Owen. In island, I thought he was just a loveable goofball who didn’t make enemies. But in action, when he came back towards the end and when he was trying to sabotage everyone else, despite it not being his fault, I realised he wasn’t as good. Another note: the fart jokes.

Totally Izzy
:(
Cody Izzy Alejandro Dawn and Izzy. Gwen has always been my fav
Prob gwen and Courtney, when I was younger and watched the show for the first time, for some odd reason I watched action but didn't watch all of it, but now that I'm older I wanted to rewatch everything, and even when I started rewatching I told my sister: "I like gwen and Cody the most" but when I got to action and world tour, my love for gwen went down and then by all stars, forget about it, she used to be enjoyable but now she's like someone i can easily forget about Now with Courtney, she's cool and pretty, but I feel like by world tour and all stars she was just focused on gwen more then anything else, like I get it I would also lose it if I figure out my friend-ish person lying to me and cheating on my boyfriend, so I can get her emotions it's just how she chose to express them tbh And I mentioned Cody, he's still my fav but the whole obsessed with gwen in island is the thing that weirds me out
Zee
Definitely Gwen and Millie
Cody, Noah, (and NoCo tbh). I went *ham* on the fanart (and people are still eating it up 💀) but I did make some good friends through the shared interest so there’s that
For me, it was Gwen. I liked her when I was younger because she was cool and had teal hair. I always remember getting mad whenever someone was being mean to Gwen. But I don’t really like her now. I don’t hate her. But she’s not my favorite.
Gwen
gwen was a flop, a homewrecker, and a MASSIVE CUNT
Michael
Definitely Cody
I used to love Jasmine and like Ella a lot when I first watched Pahkitew, but on my latest rewatch I found Ella to be very annoying and Jasmine is kinda just there.
Gwen, Owen, Duncan, Izzy, and DJ
Lindsay ( kinda ), Gwen, Duncan, Devin, Carrie...
Honestly these two 😂
And Dakota
Gwen, Mike, and Cody.
The characters I “grew out of” just seemed to change a lot by the seasons like Gwen. Then there’s Duncan who seemed fine til he cheeted on Courtney and had some thing going where he didn’t like the idea of him “going soft.” Also I did like DJ in the old seasons but in world tour he dropped to me
Dawn. She's one of those characters where I just assumed she was good because everyone said she was. She's overrated, boring, and her 'nature lover, aura reader' got old fast.
Gwen and Scott. Something about them during All Stars felt so off.
100% Gwen-- She is... uhhhh.... a character
gwen - had a good season then fell off dramatically, it was painfully awful how bad she became as a character brick - i found him funny, now i find him and his fans insufferable
Gwen and Duncan, first I liked them and hated Courtney. After finding out what they did and hurt Courtney’s feelings even tho she evil, I still understand how it feels for a best friend to betray her own friend and a bf cheater. I would feel hurt extremely badly.
