The reason Dawn has always been popular is she was the one contestant who wasnt a high school stereotype. Don't get me wrong, high school stereotypes is what makes me love the show, but her different personality was awesome. And if you really think about it, you do have a couple kids kinda like her at school.

Then TDPI came along and we got these weird, dumb, and odd stereotypes. Amy, Samey, and Jasmine were well known, and good stereotypes. But then the others were just..... weird. So I guess Ella was just the fun weird one, but just think about Ella being in Total Drama Island, it's pretty weird.
