Has anyone ever been disappointed with a choice their character made?

hotlawyerbabe: i was disappointed that i tossed my favorite couch off the balcony. i should've gone with the lumpy barcalounger.

Does anyone ever feel akward that Kc knows exactly if and when your charatcer gets killed?

hotlawyerbabe: not awkward.....but i feel that i should stay on his good side so he doesn't kill me sooner.
Kc: On that note, everyone who might die in the series was determined WAY in advance before we cast them.
SgtCross: He must if he knows how the story ends. But I wouldn't be surprised if he changed some of the details in the writing process.
SgtCross: But since I'm the narrator, you won't kill me off, right?....Right?...Hellooooo....

hotlawyerbabe: we never see the script until a week before....and i wouldn't want to complain and get fed to a zombie
Kc: Well, honestly, changes aren't going to come the day of, if they do it'll be a few days before, or a suggestion on the recording day that we incorperate
Kc: Sometimes the cast has caught things I've missed
