User blog comment:NotSoEvilBilly/Best and Worst character design in TD/@comment-24971793-20140609150741

Best: Dakota (before transformation of course), first time I saw her I was just so amazed at how good she looked while still fitting the Total Drama style, it was the first and only character on the show that made me gasp. I kinda wish this would have been Lindsay's design cause it's a shame that they ruined their best one by mutating it.

Honorable mentions: Anne-Maria (design is much fun and really fits her character), Dawn (very intriguing), Lightning (with brown hear, his appearance is pretty much the only thing I liked about that character), Tyler (I remember his appearance and expressions better than what he actually said) and Owen (he stood out, and it fits the character ;p).

Worst: Duncan, doesn't look like a bad boy. More like a failed goth with questionable hobbies and interests (a leather spiked choker ... really?). IMO Scott or Shawns designs work better for a bad boy, with Duncan they wanted to do too much and therefore ruined it. The design doesn't fit the personality, the only thing they got right is his facial expression.

Dishonorable mentions: Staci (she was complete fodder and that's also how she looks), Brick (like the character, but the design is basically Eva), Trent (he always reminded me of a greenpeace guy which doesn't really fits his character), Beth/Cody (their design didn't really fit in with the others, they looked like they where from a different cartoon)

It might be a bit too soon to judge Pahkitew contestants cause the stills can give a different impression of how they come across in action (expressions, movement). But so far I dislike the design of Ella (no imagination, I would have rather had a princess fan girl with kitty sweater than an actual princess stereotype stereotype), Beardo (looks too mature) and Jasmine (just too tall, I get that she's an amazon woman, but her hight was just an eyesore in the trailer). I like the design of Sugar (memorable and gonna fit the character), Dave (first decent looking "nerdy" guy and I liked his posture and expressions in the trailer and storybooard stills) and Shawn (although I'm afraid of how well his design will fit his character).
