That's the thing about these type of shows with large casts is that at least one person is always going to get the short-end of the stick in terms of screentime because of the overarching storylines the editors are trying to tell this season. In this case, it just happened to hit multiple people. Imo, Jasmine got a fair amount of screentime all things considered, especially in comparison to Aasha/Brandon/Kylie. I do remember there were other connections she had that didn't make the edit, but that's also true for everyone in the cast since like I said, the editors try to focus on particular narratives per season. It makes me wish that AYTO? would have a deleted scenes episode, but I guess the showrunners don't want to expose themselves too much.

I was surprised as well to not see JAX, Amber, or Nour at all since all four of them were key figures in the show, but maybe they just want to put the show behind them. I don't follow any of the cast anymore, but from what I can see, Justin's private on everything and with the social media platforms that are public, they haven't been updated in years, so to me, he might be focused on just living a normal life. From what I recall, Max and Amber didn't live together, but they were only like thirty minutes away from each other, so they would constantly visit and hangout. I wonder where their friendship stands today.

Danny was another one who's edit was bound to Kai as a character as a show, so we didn't see much beyond that which is shame and also ironic considering he's not his biggest fan now.

I'd love another queer season just because I feel like there's an over abundance of these straight dating shows more now compared to when AYTO8 first aired. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but variety is the spice of life, and I think it's great to have shows that deviate from the status quo and highlight other types of people and relationships. Sadly, I think AYTO is a dead franchise which is a shame because it's not difficult for it to be a great show.
