Alright, so this is my rankings section, so enjoy reading :)

The God of Total Drama Himself
Chris McLean - Chris is the BEST CHARACTER EVER! 'Nuff said!

Characters
25th - Alejandro: Before I say anything else, I have to give Alejandro credit for being probably the best and smartest antagonist in Total Drama history. However, with that said, the reason he's at last place is because he was too evil. I honestly thought what he said at the end of Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2..."Compared to me, Heather's a Saint," was true throughout Total Drama World Tour. He went too far with a lot of it, and I could never see a bit of good in him, unlike Heather, who had those rare moments. Oh, and he was the runner-up of TDWT in my opinion.

24th - Blaineley: I loved her in the TDA Special, but once she started hosting the aftermath, she instantly became annoying, and the way she treated Geoff and Bridgette was absolutely awful. It only got worse once she was put in the game. However, her outting Ezekiel, AleHeather, and her being offered the host job first was hilarious, and defintiely helped the plot. She gets points for that if nothing else.

23rd - Courtney: At the beginning of Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, she seemed like a lovable sweetheart. However, that was all a facade, as she was mean, ruthless, and obsessed with nothing but winning throughout all of seasons one and two. However, she got better in season three's beginning, and I genuinely felt sympathy for her later in the season.

22nd - Sadie: If she and Katie had gotten more screentime and development, I would probably rank them higher. I'm really neutral towards her right now.

21st - Katie: Like Sadie, if she had more development and screentime, she would probably be higher up than she is.

20th - Eva: I find her better than Katie and Sadie, but like them, she would rank higher if she was on more than just TDI.

19th - Geoff: He never really stood out to me. I mean, he was fun and nice in TDI, and I enjoyed seeing him on there. Plus, I love him and Bridgette. However, he became the unfortunate Aftermath co-host in TDA, and that's where he stayed during TDWT. However, I will say, he had great moments on there, especially during season three's aftermaths.

18th - Justin: During TDA, I initially disliked him for what he did to Gwen. However, as the season went on, her became extremely likable, and by the merge, he was complete and utter comedy. I think that's the role he was always meant to play, comedic. Also, the fact that he joined the Drama Brothers was cool. I kind of wish he'd spoken more during season three's aftermaths, cause when he did, he was funny.

17th - DJ: I didn't really notice him much in TDI, cause he was one of the quieter ones. However, I liked him a lot in TDA, and respected him for choosing integrity over money. I thought that was a great lesson to put into the show. I didn't like his animal curse in TDWT though, mainly because it and Alejandro were the main causes of Team Victory's destruction. However, he gets points for being so lovable.

16th - Trent: I thought he was a really cool guy in TDI, and what he did for Gwen in the finale was sooo sweet. I liked them as a couple. TDA came along, and it didn't do his character any justice at all, and I felt sorry for Trent. However, he improved some in TDWT, so he's ok.

15th - Tyler: I didn't really like him a lot until TDWT. I thought he was absolutely fantastic, and his relationship with Lindsay was really cute. I melted when he almost told her he loved her, if only he could've finished his sentence :( I don't know why, but for a while I really thought Tyler was going to win TDWT. Of course, he didn't, but he was still fun. His line of the season..."Why is the purple meatball playing the piano?" Pure win.

14th - Beth: In TDI, I thought it was great of Beth to stand up to Heather. I honestly felt sorry for her when she was eliminated. However, in TDA, she was great, and the fact that she was the runner-up was even better. Plus, I thought it was awesome how Brady turned out to be real. Suck it people who thought he was imaginary :P

13th - Leshawna: I liked Leshawna in all three seasons. I thought what she did in season two was overblown way too far. What she did wasn't that bad, and I honestly was sick of everyone hating her very quickly. However, she's no a bad girl overall, and is pretty decent.

12th - Heather: I have a reason for ranking Heather this high, and I will explain myself. I HATED Heather in season one, because she was evil, ruthless, and every negative adjective you can think of. However, as the seasons progressed, she got nicer, and she was honestly one of the best TDWT contestants imo. Plus, not all of the contestants hate her the most anymore, so I think she's been semi-redeemed. A lot of people say she has the best character development, and I agree. I honestly started liking her in season three, so I'll rank her this high. Plus, her relationship with Alejandro was great. Oh, and she was also the true winner of TDWT. Just my opinion.

11th - Noah: In season one, I thought he deserved to be eliminated early for refusing to be a teamplayer. However, season three came along, and he became HILARIOUS. He probably had the best lines in the season, and I was disappointed when he was eliminated. I also give him props for being one of the few to figure out Alejandro's true nature pre-elimination. Plus, I loved his friendship with Owen.

10th - Ezekiel: A lot of people don't like him for what happened to him in TDWT, but I thought it was hilarious that he would go that far out of pure greed. Plus, he was kind of funny in the first few episodes of the season as well. My favorite Zeke line ever..."Yo, players"...I fell out of my seat laughing at that. Let's just hope he turns back to normal next season.

9th - Cody: I thought he was cool in season one, but he was great in season three imo. I'm glad he finally warmed up to Sierra, and they're probably one of the, if not the, cutest couple in Total Drama history. I kind of wish he'd won Total Drama World Tour, but I'm not really mad. He was still great.

8th - Owen: Owen was originally my favorite character, and even though he's moved down in my ranks, I still really like him a lot. I think he's really fun and nice, and always puts a smile on my face. I'm glad he won TDI. The one negative part about Owen was his unnecessary return to TDA, which made him into a temporary anti-hero. However, TDWT redeemed him, so it's all good.

7th - Lindsay: How can you not love Lindsay? She's sweet, cute, adorable, innocent, and just all around lovable. I was really disappointed when she was eliminated in every season. She didn't deserve to be used by Heather in TDI, and I was glad she told her off. Her rivalry with Courtney in TDA was epic, and her TDWT relationship with Tyler was amazing. She's great.

6th - Gwen: She was great in all three seasons. I thought she was a deserving runner-up of TDI, but was disappointed with her early TDA elimination. In TDWT, she was great in the beginning, and I support her new relationship with Duncan. I do think some of the things she's done are wrong, but she's apologized for them, so that helps. Overall, she's a great girl.

5th - Duncan: I thought he was a cool guy in TDI and TDA, and I liked that he even managed to win season two even if it was never referred to again. In season three, I wasn't surprised at all by his quitting, but was very surprised by his return, mainly because I thought "Why does he all of a sudden not object to singing anymore?" Now, I do not support what he did during the season in any way, and I think it was horrible of him to do what he did. If he and Courtney become friends again, then I will start to forgive him. So, I rank him this high because of TDI and TDA. TDWT Duncan would be about -235th.

4th - Sierra: From the moment we first met her in the TDA special, I instantly fell in love with her character. Her being "The Obsessive Uber-Fan" was a great idea, and it would've been better if she hadn't spent all of season three stalking Cody. She did have a few great "Uber-fan" moments though, so that was good. I do fully support her and Cody, and I think they're adorable. Now that she's got Cody, maybe she'll actually show some "Uber-fan" tendencies towards others now. Let's hope.

3rd - Izzy: She's probably the funniest and most comedically entertaining contestant in Total Drama history. She could never win a season, it's just not in her character, but that's fine with me. Anytime Izzy's on-screen and doing something nuts, I can't help but laugh. She's hilarious, and I can't help but love her.

2nd - Harold: Harold screams AWESOME with just about everything he does. He's got wicked skills, and he's hilarious. TDA was definitely his best season, and I was so surprised when he didn't win. I thought he would, but he didn't. Oh well. At least he got 5th place. I was disappointed when he was Alejandro's first victim in season three, but he made up for it by being epic during the aftermaths.

1st - Bridgette: Bridgette is my favorite competitor by far. She's sweet, lovable, and just an overall great person. She was great in TDI, and I was so upset when she was eliminated. I love her and Geoff together, and I think they're great together. I wish she wasn't the aftermath co-hostess though, and that she'd come back to the game. We need her back, cause she's amazing.

Oppose
None that I really have a problem with...so, yeah :)

Episodes

 * 1) Not So Happy Campers - Part 1: Overall, I thought this was a great first episode, with lots of funny moments from a lot of characters, and everyone displaying their own unique personality. Not much else to say about it really, because that was really all it was. It was still great.
 * 2) Not So Happy Campers - Part 2: As a follow-up to the first episode it was probably just as good, if not better. The challenge was simple but fun, and brought for great humor from some characters. The end scene with Ezekiel's sexist comments, I honestly was like "Oh snap..." Right then, I knew he would be out, and I was right. Overall, lots of fun.
 * 3) The Big Sleep: Another simple challenge yet again, but also extremely physically and mentally demanding at the same time. The main thing about this episode was the interactions between campers, especially Gwen and Trent. Overall, it's not that exciting, but it's still fun.
 * 4) Dodgebrawl: I loved this episode. I've always loved dodgeball, and I'll admit, I'm more like Harold in terms of being able to only dodge. The physical comedy was great, and LindsayxTyler was really cute in this episode too. My favorite moment was when Chris rewound the tape on Geoff getting hit. Classic Chris :)
 * 5) Not Quite Famous: This was an episode that I enjoyed a bit, and thought was decent. I felt really bad for Gwen at the end though, and I honestly wish Heather had been eliminated over Justin. Harold's beat-boxing was the highlight of the episode. Suck it Harold haters :P
 * 6) The Sucky Outdoors: For an episode that was heavily reliant on interaction between campers, it was actually really good. Izzy in the bear and Duncan's horror story were my favorite parts. I still laugh everytime I watch the episode. I think this episode deserves more credit than it gets.
 * 7) Phobia Factor: A super fun episode, with lots of fun humor, plus other important plotlines. Definitely a great one.
 * 8) Up the Creek: For an episode that was couple-heavy, it was okay. I'm glad Bridgette warmed up to Geoff's gift, and that Gwen and Trent got together. I thought it was kind of funny that Gwen actually gave Cody her bra, but hey, it was cool...I guess. Izzy was at her best in this episode, and her departure was a true shame. However, line of the episode went to Chris..."That's gonna provoke some angry emails"...ROFL
 * 9) Paintball Deer Hunter: This episode had probably my favorite challenge yet, with lots of funny moments and interactions. Beth standing up to Heather was good, and Cody's elimination was one of those that wasn't really foreshadowed until the end, which was nice. Am I surprised they voted for Cody over Heather? Yes and no, but that's beside the point. Pantball FTW
 * 10) If You Can't Take the Heat: Another simple challenge, which paved the way for lots of camper interaction. Heather being locked in the fridge was hilarious, and her penciling on her eyebrows was funny. Lindsay was right though, they looked so bad. I felt that Harold didn't really deserve all that crap because he left his underwear on the floor, but it did pave the way for a great line..."This tastes like sweat and lotion. It's probably the worst sandwich ever."... The way he said it made me LMAO. Overall, another fun episode.
 * 11) Who Can You Trust?: The challenges in this episode were awesome, and were what honestly made the episode. My favorite one was both the rock-climbing challenge and the reverse William-Tell. Both had lots of great physical humor and funny moments in them. It was great to see Katie and Sadie reunited at the end as well :)
 * 12) Basic Straining: Ahhh...another couple-heavy episode. This is one of those, however, that really worked, and was fun. DuncanxCourtney were really cute, and I "ahhhed" a little bit when I saw them kiss for the first time. Chef hosting the challenge actually worked surprisingly well, maybe because it was a challenge that fit him. Overall, pretty good.
 * 13) X-Treme Torture: I loved this episode. The challenges were all really fun, and there were plenty of humorous moments in it too. The HaroldxHeather moment...I give them credit for having the guts to do something like that. HaroldxLeshawna was super sweet and cute, but it's too bad Harold was eliminated. Almost made the merge buddy. Almost.
 * 14) Brunch of Disgustingness: The only official reward challenge of the season, and it was great. Bridgette was honestly the star of this episode, and what a star she was. Only further proving why she's my favorite contestant in Total Drama history. Oh, and I loved the song they played during the middle few rounds. Really fun episode.
 * 15) No Pain, No Game: The merge...finally. I always love it when the teams merge. It shows what everyone'e really made of. The challegne was funny, and the returns of Eva and Izzy were great too. Poor Eva, gets booted in the same episode as her return, but it honestly wasn't a surprise. The girl does have rage problems.
 * 16) Search and Do Not Destroy: The definitive Gwen-Trent episode. It wasn't cool what Heather did, but at least Gwen and Trent got together in the end. Unfortunately, poor old Trent got the boot. The challenge wasn't that exciting. Once again, it was a couple-heavy episode.
 * 17) Hide and Be Sneaky: One of my favorite challenges of the entire season. The formation of the Guy's Alliance was a good idea on Duncan's part, and the way they convinced Owen to join was great. Bridgette's elimination sucked, and was a shock. I wish she had stayed longer :(
 * 18) That's Off the Chain: Another super fun challenge, with tons of comdic moments. It sucked that Lindsay was eliminated, but it was good to see her tell Heather off for using her all season.
 * 19) Hook, Line, and Screamer: The annual horror challenge, and this was probably the best one. Classic Duncan hook moments, and DJ being scared of Heather. Him running underwater was absolutely priceless. Overall, a fun challenge.
 * 20) Wawanakwa Gone Wild!: The safari challenge was a great idea, and Izzy's inability to catch a deer was hilarious. Classic Izzy. Duncan and Heather were probably the stars of this episode in my opinion. Them forming an alliance was interesting, and made for a good plot. Izzy's elimination was sad, but we all knew it would happen. Overall, thumbs up.
 * 21) Trial by Tri-Armed Triathalon: A challenge full of new and interesting duos, that brought some fun interactions. Gwen and Geoff was probably my favorite, and it was nice to see her warm up to him as a friend.
 * 22) Haute Camp-ture: The one episode this season where exclusively revisit the losers, and it was great. The end with them voting off Leshawna was hilarious, and the parrot completely sold the gag for me.
 * 23) Camp Castaways: A laid-back, fun episode full of good camper interactions. Owen and Mr. Coconut were also a win duo. I liked Duncan and Gwen's interactions the most, foreshadowing their friendship, later relationship. Overall, really fun.
 * 24) Are We There, Yeti?: For a Chef-hosted episode, it was surprisingly good. The interactions between the final four were what really sold the episode for me. I honestly think Owen really should've been eliminated in this episode over Duncan, but only because he had the chance to win and ignored it. Other than that though, it was good.
 * 25) I Triple Dog Dare You!: The penultimate challenge of the season, and I have to say, it was gross, hilarious, and awesome all at the same time. Chris's moment when he lost his bet to Chef was hilarious, and Owen was probably the funniest one in the episode. Heather's elimination was epic, which brings us to the final two...
 * 26) The Very Last Episode, Really!: For a finale, it was pretty good. The challenge wasn't that complex, and was decent enough for the episode. Trent carrying the rock for Gwen was my favorite part, mainly because it was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. I'm glad Owen won in the end. It was a good finale overall.
 * 27) Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island: For a one-hour special, it was fairly epic. The HaroldxHeather moments were probably my favorite part. It was nice to see a nicer side of Heather, and it was good to get inside her head a little. Also, this was one of the only episodes where Justin was an actual antagonist. Overall, for a special, it was decent enough, and a nice lead-in to next season.

Overall Season Review
Overall, TDI was a great season, with a great cast, plot, and plenty of humor. A lot of people say that this season was undeniably the best, and I would have a hard time arguing that with anybody. This was the only season that I did not watch when it aired on TV, as I didn't know of the show until TDA in 2009. However, when I went back and watched it, I loved it. I thought it was well-written and well-paced. By the finale, I was pleased entirely with the season, and I agree with everyone who says that it's great.

Owen was a very deserving winner of the season, and I was very happy when he won. Heather was definitely an interesting antagonist, and I hated her throughout the season. However, my opinion changed a little in the TDI Special. She was definitely a good antagonist though. Campers like Gwen, Duncan, and Izzy were also really great this season, and this was also the shining season for campers like Bridgette and Geoff too.

Overall, TDI gets a complete thumbs up from me :)
