User blog:ArtDraw12/TD Theories: Who May Return in Potential Future Seasons?

Hi. Art here again with another theory blog. In fact, I've made so many theory blogs that I decided to rename them to make them a series, and maybe continue (if I'll have time and remember what others theories I had in store).

In this blog I'll analyze the chances of each contestant coming back in potential future seasons of TD/RR. While the creators don't plan on any new seasons so far, it's possibly just a matter of time, judging by popularity of the show and some unsolved plots.

I know what you may think. What is the point of such blog? Isn't everyone's chance a 50%? Each argument can be used in either way. For example - someone's story was completed? Maybe they're one of the main characters and will get another one. Someone was derailed? Maybe they won't use this character anymore (or at least in a while). Or maybe they'll use this character anyway, to actually give them some redemption? There are also some complicated cases like the "base breakers." Some characters are loved by younger audience but hated by the older one or vice versa. To analyze their chances I'll also look at what the characters have still to offer, as well as at some trivial things.

Nevertheless, this is the idea for a blog I had for a long time, so let's do this. To make it easier, let's use a scale of a chance of returning.
 * Confirmed - 100% (won't actually be used on this blog because we won't have any info for some time)
 * Very likely - over 50%, will be used for those who have high chances of coming back, but aren't confirmed to do so yet.
 * Maybe - 50%, will be used for those who appear to have as many reasons for as against returning.
 * Unlikely - 25%-50%, will be used for those who don't have much chance for returning, but there's at least one reason why they may return.
 * Very unlikely - less than 25%, will be used for those whose return seems to be impossible and can be considered even 0% chance of happening.

One more thing. Some characters (like the twins, Katie and Sadie, and pairs from RR) will be analyzed together. Others won't, but some aspects may be repeated for some (i.e. for Alejandro and Heather). Also, keep in mind that anyone might get some new plot, so let's focus on what the characters had to offer so far, and what potential is still left of their already existing plots.

Alejandro
Let's start alphabetically with our Spaniard. His story seems to be completed. He and Heather finally became an official couple, right? Well, if you look closely, Heather doesn't seem to be so happy with having Alejandro as a consolation prize instead of winning the million. However, I wouldn't take it too seriously. It's just Heather afterall. And TDAS finale basically confirms Alejandro and Heather are an official couple while out of the competition, so once they came back home, I'm sure they got back together for real.
 * Returning status: maybe

So yeah, Al's main plot with Heather is finished. What about other plots? Everyone can get a new one. Unfortunately, in TDAS Heather became Alejandro's main, if not only, source of interactions. There were some other minor examples, most notably Mike, but it was all to short for him to have a reason to come back. Let's take a look at the only episodes in which Alejandro appears withour Heather. In Suckers Punched, his role is still connected to Heather in some ways. In You Regatta Be Kidding Me, we have a homage to his villain stu status where he narrowly wins after having some difficulties in the challenge, becoming the first individual winner of All-Stars. However, besides a bit of Everyone and Alejandro, he had no major interaction with ANYONE in this episode, not even Cameron or Scott who directly talked to him/mentioned him. The closest to this is Mike, but it's just a bfief beginning of their plot. Things get better for him in Zeek And Ye Shall Find, where his plot with Mike becomes more important. However, he is so pathetic in this episode. And it's Alejandro we're talking about! Then he gets a "death in spotlight" in the next episode, where he also meets Heather in the exclusive clip. See what I'm talking about? As of All-Stars Alejandro isn't such interesting character without Heather around. His plot with Mike and automatic elimination of some others were the only reason he made it so far. What is the conclusion? Alejandro for sure can have plots that aren't related to Heather, but they're not too important or interesting for him to return in another season without her.

This makes me realize that if Alejandro competes again some day, Heather would have to compete as well. As I pointed out, their plot is finished, is it? Well, it is in Total Drama. They can try to come up with something new for them. Or... make them similar to Rob and Amber from Survivor even more by... making them return for another season of Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race (if there will be any). What would be the point of that? RR is a different show. Strategy, while also important, isn't enough to win this type of reality show. They could also have a plot of learning how to cooperate with each other. After all, as was seen in African Lying Safari, they can easily succeed while working together. Or they may simply argue like the Daters did, and be the fodders of the season (proving by the way that strategy isn't enough for this type of show by the way). So yeah, they'd be good candidates for 2nd season of RR, but not so good for another season of TD.

Let's also look at some trivial things that may or may not help as well. Alejandro was never seen with Heather in her original hairstyle. Even in Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er! she had her long ponytail. Then again, is it really a reason to bring them back? No.

Another trivial things is that Alejandro is one of the main characters. He's one of returnees in TDAS finale. While this was meant to finish his plot with Heather (and Mike), keep in mind that the creators love bringing back main characters because they're easy drama makers and have huge fanbases. There's always something new that they come up with for them. Or they can always continue their old plots. Also, keep in mind that he's the best contestant competition wise from World Tour newcomers. One of the reasons Alejandro and Sierra came back for All-Stars was for the sake of having TDWT newcomers compete. This may or may not continue with the next seasons. After all, they're quite a special case. They are a part of the first generation, but didn't debut in the first season, so they don't belong to the original 22 contestants. However, this isn't something of huge importance, especially after having a lot of generations of contestants.

To sum up, Alejandro has equal chances of returning for me. He is one of the main characters, which technically gives him more chances due to the writers' love for the drama makers. However, his main plot is finished. The only chance for him seems to be continuing his plot with Heather in RR. Or maybe competing in RR with José, trying to prove he's better than him? Whoever his partner would be, RR seems to be the only show he can compete in nowadays.

Did you like it so far? Do you want me to continue? Would you like me to continue writing it alphabetically or write about some specific contestants first? Let me know in the comments!

Also, keep in mind this blog will be completed by joining our efforts, not just mine. If you think I got something wrong, for example I listed someone's chances of returning as too high or too low, let me know in the comments as well.
