Now that we got that fiasco out of the way, let's move onto more important issues:

They really need to reconsider who they entrust such a delicate task to. Such work requires a lot of care and consideration. Bias and rushed, sloppy writing has no place in what was once such a successful franchise. I almost feel sorry for them being in their own little world, where only they can take joy in the nonsensical jokes they make. I think the problem was they thought they weren't supposed to take this project seriously. It's that whole "put the drama in Total Drama" crap again. There's a difference between sprucing up the plot a bit, and making everything defy logic.

Guess so, but my point is, Courtney was probably 85% of the reason why that episode is bad, and if she wasn't present there (or didn't get screwed over), then SMS would at least have an average mediocre ranking in TDAS. As for the interns. I have felt really sorry for them over the course of the series, with how many of them having to die. While I don't condone what they had to go through in SMS, I have to say this isn't the worst they've been through, especially since both of them are alive and well by the next few episodes. But yeah, if you think too deeply with all of the stuff going behind the screens, where they probably had to keep them locked up and deprive them of food, it does get unsettling. For me the worst intern moment still goes to the one which got skeletonized by the scarabs in Egypt.

I would have settled for a 10 episode season, rather than having to go through crap like this. They went and postponed ROTI's release because the toxic waste references were deemed insensitive to the Japanese viewers after the Nuclear Power Plant incident, so what was the deal with rushing the release of this atrocity? They didn't even pretend they cared when writing these episodes.

I'm curious just how many kids actually found their favorite characters blowing into the sun funny. That just crosses the line. I don't care if the ballooned contestants don't compete anytime soon, we need an in-universe explanation as to what happened to them, even if it's one flashback from Chris that shows they landed on a deserted island or something. The characters were just treated like the gross-out humor gag, and nothing more than that. I think they kissed those "everyone ends up happy" finales goodbye a long time ago. Prior to ROTI the finale worked out for everyone except maybe the antagonist, but after TDAS no one other than the main couple gets a free pass. Why won't they stop screwing with the characters, and even give them a proper departure from the season?! I'm still trying to figure out if that scene from Wreck-ening was an intentional insult or whether the writers need to seek help. You're right, almost all of the fandoms hate have been pooled into those two. Guess they earned the title of the fandom's punch-bag.

Well the reason given was "What Do You Mean It Wasnt Made On Drugs defines a work or aspect of a work that is so weird that it is hard to imagine how it could be conceived without the use of drugs. Not that it can be criticized as "Bad"" Though I would still argue that no one in their right of mind could've come up with trapping characters in balloons filled with farts, and have them blow into the sun. Followed by a freaking land-mass springing leaks and sinking.

Looks as though she won't be answering. Yeah maybe give it a bump and see what happens after.

Ready when you are. That's the most conflicted episode out of the Trinity, and there very likely will be defenders. I'll do my best to support your points.

Still boils down to a certain someone in the studio having something against Courtney. I'm sure everyone, even the writers have a favorite and least favorite character, but there is no excuse to let that show in the writing, especially when it means breaking a trend that their co-workers had already set up prior to it. Even if it was done, the real question is, how was something like this even allowed to pass. The obvious answer is there was no checking back and proofing of the work, and that brings up the question: why wasn't there any proofing? "It's for kids" most certainly doesn't apply to character killing. There wasn't even anything remotely funny and child friendly in that episode, other than maybe Scott. It would be really nice to know what the deal behind that episode was.

I was more naive and enthusiastic then, tried not to look down upon something too soon. It probably is better to go in expecting the worst, so at least there won't be too much disappointment. What made you expect it would be bad a year in advance? Back then the only issue I could spot was Sam being on the roster.

This is their final chance. Blow it once more and it's over. I can't see Total Drama recovering from a Unholy Trinity 2.0. They cannot afford any kind of that crap anymore, and I pray they are treading carefully and triple checking before they release anything.

Well done, what did you think? Personally there were many parts that were still excessively weird, like the "serious faces" (especially Raven *shudders*), but I thought it was still better than the majority of the silliness in TTG. For once they made references to the old series without being insulting. Not too bad of an "Author's Saving Throw" attempt.
