You are correct: Stiles did open the door allowing the Nogitsune to gain a foothold. If we were to look beyond the point of Jeff Davis giving Dylan O a chance to show his dramatic capabilities, the idea Stiles is considered weak in body and mind in addition to other perceptions, the character is deemed low on any choice. However, giving the idea a realistic approach, yes, Allison would have been a superb choice given her combat skills and access to weapons. Scott remained out of the running due to his being a wolf.

Stiles is sharp, cunning, perceptive and as Peter said, you are the clever one. We don't know the extent of Stiles knowledge and talents, but what we have seen made him the perfect host. We all have an idea and opinion as to the how and why. I stand by the idea(s) I presented and like the rest as well.
