7. The Glee Project
It doesnt take a genius to work out that the last thing Glee needs is more characters. Unfortunately, that has been exactly the route taken by producers in the form of a reality talent television show entitled The Glee Project. Season three became the first season to feature these specially selected wonderkids (the first Glee Project resulted in two winners awarded seven episode arcs plus two runners up whom both received two episode arcs). It is arguable any of these four winners have contributed anything to the show at all, apart from a headache when trying to remember the names and motivations of their characters before they were promptly ignored for several episodes. Im not even going to talk about the obvious difficulties faced in writing a character prior to their appropriate plot thread.
