User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 1)/@comment-28381748-20140825175758/@comment-24789895-20140826122958

You're probably right there. The season's plots actually had a lot of potential, but they were executed very poorly. The CourtneyxScott plot could have developed them both as characters, but it was just shoved at our throats with nothing but awkward interactions between them, and then just randomly getting together in an episode just to get ruined 2 episodes later (for some weird reason I stil ship them). The Gwen and Courtney friendship was something I liked, but I think they should have done it without the two of them acting so out of character. When have they ever been that girly before? They weren't even that good of friends in TDWT - just aquaintences that preferred each other to most of the rest of their team. The Mal thing was a brilliant idea, but they just had him breaking things the whole time and when he did eliminated somebody it was completely awful and unexplained -

example of awful: Alejandro's elimination. Alejandro would never go down that easily. Never. He's one of the best players TD has ever seen and he would make sure he wasn't the one to go. That being said he would have been eliminated in TDWT if it wasn't for Sierra's accident, but that was caused by another brilliant player. Mal's not a brilliant player - He's a psychopath done wrong, unlike Scarlett who was done right.

example of unexplained - Courtney's elimination. How in the hell did Mal even get that chart? More importantly, why was she eliminated this way? They could have got her out without ruining most of the season's plotlines. But no. Way to go writers, ruin two massive plots in a season to leave room for two of the least popular characters the older fanbase has ever seen.

Aleheather was entertaining, but Heather's elimination was very out of character and it never even explained why or how they got together...

Jo and Heather had so much potential, but it was thrown away by Ep. 3. Ugh. So many sins this season has commited I lost count.

Rant over.
