Read this excerpt from one of my last replies on this blog:

I am a Total Drama fan, in case any of my rhetoric would imply otherwise. But hey, so many of us, a great many of us agree the show has been plagued with many problems over the years in Island's subsequent seasons. As a fan, I am trying to make a stand on behalf of the show. I will not defend the seasons that have been deemed controversial or bad by most people, or any of the bad writing we have seen building up since the show's first season ended. We know this show can do better, and Island was pretty awesome when it first came on. I think the show can do better than this, so I'm trying to do what I can to help it. Yeah, I do rant a lot about how bad it has gotten over time. What can I say, most have ranted about one or more elements about the show, and most have expressed the mutual agreement that it has not been doing well and that the writing is not good. And I feel very strongly about those counts as many others do, and it's hard not to be mad about it as others have been. Yeah I fully admit I've talked a lot about it. Still, I wrote this blog to encourage some sort of effort to get the show back on track by whatever means we have. That's all.

BarBar, take it easy. I mean, we've gone over this quite a few times already. I mean was TDROTI really that bad? Look, I'm not interested in character-centered rants on this blog post. Sure, the season was not like a masterpiece or anything but, is there really any excuse for what TDAS did? Or any excuse for the mistakes TDA and TDWT made? I mean really? That kind of writing is just inexcusable. Just cruel and crass, and as of now, lacking in consistency and continuity no thanks to this fifth season. And once again, aside from the "more exciting" claim, I fail to see how World Tour is at all deserving of the inflated praise it gets. It absolutely does not. That was plagued by bad writing too. And like it or not it WAS a controversial season. Honestly, it was getting slammed a lot up until TDAS debuted, and then stopped for whatever reason. I mean in 2012, even though they completely blew us off again with TDAS, even Fresh TV could not deny the controversies of TDWT, so no I'm not going to let that season off the hook for mistakes I and plenty of others like me think it made, sorry.

The show is not doing that well. I'm gonna continue standing up for it and lobbying for better writing even if I have to do it alone. It's quite ridiculous that the show was allowed to slip up this many times and become so divisive, wouldn't happen if the studio actually made the effort to uphold its appeal to the majority as Island did, and made things consistent again and what not. I can try to tone myself down here in my criticism of it if it's become that much to listen to, but I'll still be lobbying for better writing from the show elsewhere on the web.
