User blog comment:The real MassTass/Poll: Should Sam have competed in Total Drama All-Stars?/@comment-24245380-20170227023659

Sam isn't an all star now all stars are based on one of two things

Is thier competition good (it's debatable considering ep count and ranking are 2 diff things but I prefer to use ep count since someone returning late and getting eliminated again isn't nessecarily good take dakota and eva for example)

Are they a fan fav

Nobody is an extrodinary fan of sam as far as I've seen either they hate him or just don't care about him and have no reason to he competed in few eps has not shown to be heroic and can easily have been replaced with brick as a hero due to competing well or Dakota due to ranking or even dawn due to fan base but he had none of those going for him so why should he be an all star? (and no he isn't easier to write if he was they'd have it so his early out was something we known to be established in his character and he wouldn't be a protag we're gonna root against nor feel sorry for once he leaves and he wouldn't be a a pain magnet who lasts so little)
